Epic Quest Edition Update

It's been a little over a month since I announced the new Tales of Yuria: Epic Quest Edition, and I figured it was time to give everyone a little update with the progress.

The one thing I realized, after posting my initial announcement, was the comment I made about how there will be no choices in The Mausoleum of the Gods. After working through the scripting of the dialogue, I had to remind myself what most loved so much about my game-the choices and how what you say/do impacts the dungeon itself. After much consideration, I have decided to add some choices that will switch up how this new dungeon will play out.

COMPLETION:
As for the percentage of completion, I'd say I'm about 40% done. I have the first map finished, along with several cut scenes, including one gauntlet-style-battle scripted out. Many people loved the gauntlet leading up to the Crypt of Ancient's boss battle and the Eastern Tower Defense side quest in the Dark Forest, so I'm excited to announce I've added another (with plans for a second) in the new dungeon.

Since I'm adding choices and several different paths, it will take a bit longer than initially planned. The goal is, however, to post a new update every several weeks until it's released. :-)

STORY SO FAR:

Show
The Crypt of Ancients has always been a place of mystery for the people of Ostragen. An old Delkin Ra site lost in time and a reminder of the people that came before them. Yet, who were the ancient Delkinians? The extent of this knowledge has been pieced together at their many sites, but little is still known about their history and culture.

Nestled in Tyrfall Forest, this archaic resting place of Delkin Ra is the next location being restored by the Ancient Conservation Order, an organization established by King Rilyn with the sole purpose of restoring these ancient sites and learning more about their ancestors.

However; many believe King Rilyn's goal to be a selfish endeavor, as opposed to one of scholarly intent. He continues to instruct the Ancient Conservation Order to dig deeper and deeper, so determined to uncover more, that the lives of this order have been put at risk. Men and women of the restoration team have started to come up missing with no clear signs of their disappearances.

It is here that King Rilyn has instructed his most trusted bounty hunter, Kitrashusara, to investigate these strange vanishings and deal with the criminal behind them. With Fizrahn, Tia and Rory at his side, Kitrashusara must venture to the Crypt of Ancients and solve this strange mystery of the missing workers. Will he prove successful? Or will this quest lead to more nefarious affairs?
