Hello, new day new patch, this one is a juicer, so I will let the changes speak for themselves!
New Character Models
I am super excited to announce that with todays update, we're releasing our new Character Models, which has been in work by @philipback for a very long time, he has been working nights and weekends when possible as at the same time as he's been working on these, he also launched a game at his game studio, so let's all show some love to @philipback, huge shoutout for the grind he has put in!
Not only does these new models come with new upgraded graphics and animations, it also comes with a bunch of new content I will be implementing into the game.
NOTE: As this has been rebuilt from the ground up, there might be some missing skins and items, if you see any, please make a bug report in #bugs <3 NOTE2: You may need to re-do your character appearance, more options are in though so might be worth to check out what's new anyway!
New Content
This update comes with new content across the app.
The Old Sewers
The first real dungeon of Levla is released with this patch, this dungeon will act as the replacement for Goblin Cave, and it also introduces some other changes to early-game, this dungeon will be free for all users to do and will act as an introduction to dungeons in Levla as well as early progression.
- The Old Sewers requires a Sewers Key to enter, one is consumed for each run.
- Stamina cost for dungeon is down from 50 to 20
- Flat XP & Gold rewards are completely removed.
Bounty Point Shop
Also with this patch, the Bounty Point shop has been introduced to Levla, here you can spend your Bounty Points which you get from completing tasks from Druzil.
The bounty shop will have more items as we build out the game world, but as a starting point, this will act as the only way to receive the first tiers of gloves in the game (Bronze -> Rune), which can be purchased for Bounty Points.
The shop also sells a bounty reset scroll, which you can purchase for 50 points to remove your current task (if you got something you don't like!)
Tree Seeds
A new type of seeds has been added to the game, tree seeds, these can be planted in your farming patches as normal, the difference is that tree seeds takes longer to grow (4h), and gives a big bonus XP on harvesting.
This also introduces some new items which will be used in future content.
- NEW: Tree Seeds: Acorn, Willow, Maple, Yew
- NEW: Fruit Tree Seeds: Apple, Banana, Orange, Pineapple
- NEW: Items: Apple, Banana, Orange, Pineapple
New Guild: The Gauntlet
Our second real guild in the world of Levla is also available in todays patch, The Gauntlet.
The gauntlet is our physical activity guild, think health, fitness, recovery and so forth.
As with the Harmony's Rest from the last patch, *content is coming soon*.
