"Sorcering" - very early multiplayer prototype that would later evolve into Blade & Sorcery, circa 2016It all began with the little arena game that wanted to do something different. Whereas the "wiggle sword" type game dominated the scene pre-Blade & Sorcery, Warpfrog was the first to introduce full physics simulation in an effort to make VR more immersive and tactile. The idea was that you were not just playing a 2D game in VR, but that you got the sensation that you are inside another physical world.
Update 2 - The Modding Update, 2018Fans responded to what KospY was doing and the approach to realistic melee physics proved so popular that it essentially killed off the "wiggle sword" game design in Virtual Reality. 
Update 5 - The Dismemberment Update, 2019By U7, this was "the game" as intended when the development journey first began; the plan had been 1 year of early access and the product was to be a little arena sandbox fighter. 
Update 8 - The Sorcery Update, 2020Update 8 brought all new visuals, VFX, spells, an armour system, and new tons of new content.
Update 10 - The Dungeons Update, 2021This was a massive undertaking, because it meant we now needed enemy that patrolled, could be idle, and susceptible to stealth. We also had to invest a lot of R&D into the actual dungeon tech for semi-procedurally generated dungeons. We didn't want a completely procedurally generated dungeon system as the outcome of full procedural generation can often result in nonsense rooms that are samey or just a mashing together random assets, so instead we opted for hand-crafted rooms that would load in random configurations to create a fresh dungeon crawl each time. 
1.0 - The End Update, 20241.0 was our love letter update to the fans. From a development standpoint it was madness as it was like dropping a whole new game on top of the old game and game designing backwards. The workload was huge, but it was also cathartic as we were finally able to create lore and give context to the world of Blade & Sorcery.
Here is what is improved in the AI:
The AI can chain attacks like they used to be able to, and can perform a parry and riposte. 
A huge improvement is no more face hugging enemy! This was such a pain in the ːpontius_angryː and ruiner of combat, so hopefully you will not be experiencing this anymore. 
Something worth noting -- The upper faction tiers (Eraden, Eye) are better fighters than the lower factions (Wildfolk, Outlaws). 
Something to note is that shield enemy attack don't engage as aggressively as one-handed enemy in chaining attacks and will turtle more.
Other general improvements made have been to the shield tracking. While still far from perfect, the tracking is a bit more aggressive now to improve the chances that the AI catches an incoming slash with the shield.
Same as it used to be in the past, death anims should be a combination of animation and ragdoll so you can get that "finisher" type kill.
As mentioned earlier about "little weapons" like the hatchet, there is still some risk with those weapons, such as the double axe guy, simply because the enemy needs to be pretty close to use them. Overall it should be much better though.
The dodging behaviours for all AI is something we still need to iron out, as it is still not triggering properly and so was not included in this patch. We have a strange issue to diagnose where the dodging enemy is moving as though stuck in mud... they do the dodge animation but remain on the spot, which as you can imagine is not effective, lol.
Last note - You might have noticed the download for this patch is huge; really sorry about that, guys! There is an optimization in Unity we needed to activate because it improved loading times for all assets, including up to 50% faster loading for dungeons, which of course is a great thing. But that bad part is it causes all the asset bundles to rebuild, meaning a full redownload of the game bundles is needed. However, this was just a once-off thing, so the good news is it should not need to happen again in the future.
We are delighted to add this gamemode for folks who always wanted a little more out of Blade & Sorcery than the default sandbox experience. 
Crystal Hunt was truly nuts for us to work on, because it was like dropping a new game on top of the established Blade & Sorcery game that you already know. The Warpfrog team really worked hard on this as we wanted to do justice with our final major content update. 
The most notable difference about the Dalgarian dungeons compared to Outpost is the sheer scale; you will notice the "rooms" are not just physically bigger in terms of structure sizes, but also much larger in terms of space, with more open layouts. 
A player could choose to go all-in on one skill branch and become the penultimate master of that element, for example being a Fire mage than incinerates all foes. Alternatively, a player might choose to dabble across a few different branches and diversify; perhaps you want to have some fire powers, but still enjoy the utilitarian versatility of being able to gravity glide. 
To get even crazier, a lot of the skills have synergies that stack with each other to create interesting effects. 
Remember, this is not even one of our 78 actual skills in the game! This is just an example of how a player can leverage the simulation factor of Blade & Sorcery to synergize skills and create totally new things and make really interesting character builds. 
We really want you to experience everything related to the golem in VR, so I will avoid saying too much here! 
A large asterisk I will place here is to warn you that while we have deep lore, the game does not hold you hand. It is not a "sit back and enjoy the story" type game with a narrator guiding or breaking things down for you, nor is the world and story events revolving around you. 
But on top of this, a player may also use inference to observe the world around them and come to conclusions about things, of which the game will not validate for you.
Last but not least, depending on how hardcore you want your lore experience to be, we also have ancient texts to discover in the game that are in the Dalgarian language. 
Final thought: we also realize that some players may not give a hoot about lore and simply want to play an action game - no problem! 
Players can also potentially find rare crystal shards in dungeon runs, which can be used to unlock new skills on currently unlocked skill branches.
We also have something completely new and unusual for Blade & Sorcery that we kept under wraps - a voiced NPC as the shopkeeper! (voiced by yours truly ːlunar2019piginablanketː)
We tried our best to avoid gamey mechanics like having upper tier weapons "deal more damage", since after all, a player should be allowed complete the game with a rusty dagger if they are so inclined. Instead, upper tier weapons will have other benefits, such as being able to hold an imbue charge for longer, increased reach, additional offensive spikes, or slicing through certain armours easier.
There is also a whole new mechanic to go along with 1.0 armour - Heavy armour will provide you with better physical protection, but lighter mage armour will allow you to cast spells faster. If you go all-in on mage gear, you will be slinging spells like crazy but you will have a "glass canon" type character. 
The Ruins was one of the earliest maps in the game, introduced back when the we were still using some store assets. This meant the textures always clashed with the rest of the game and looked ugly by comparison. 
I'm sure there will be some nostalgia for the old Ruins map, but the new map keeps the essence of the original - the verticality, the chandelier, the moody lighting, etc.
Not only were were beautifying and optimizing the old maps, but we wanted to create a sense of cohesion between them, to make these locations feel like they are all part of Byeth and not just random places in isolation.
It also gave us the opportunity to shake some of the old maps up!
Although any faction could potentially have any configuration of armour types, the different factions will tend to lean towards different strengths and weaknesses to provide a varied challenge. 
A little bonus to this new inventory system is that you can now see how your armour protection is stacking up, as well as how your armour impacts your spell casting speeds as mentioned earlier in the armour section.
If you are not playing the hardcore manual Dalgarian translation option, you will be able to see Dalgarian text that is translated to your own language here too.
As I say, you wont completely see the mechanics of this under the hood stuff but you will experience it in a nice and immersive simulation way. We also made this as moddable as possible for modders to add in their own status effects.
Did you know Steam has a character limit on the news? Lmao, they are probably thinking no sane person would hit that cap...
There are many more parts of the update that are not flagship features but absolutely worth mentioning!
Full Changelog here!
Deep in the mountains of Eraden, entrances to long lost Dalgarian ruins have Inexplicably revealed themselves, triggering what folk have begun referring to as The Crystal Hunt. Within weeks of the first entrance discovery, major factions across Eraden mobilized to compete in finding these ruins and securing the valuables within.
Each faction is motivated by their own agenda in the Crystal Hunt, something a player can choose to delve into if they wish by finding lore and piecing together the bigger picture. 
The player will choose the background for their character and how they want to begin. Perhaps you are a lowly Gravity mage, or a Mind mage with slow-motion, or perhaps you would like a challenge and begin with no magic at all! 
The Home map that Early Access players will be already familiar with will act as the hub between dungeon runs. Here the player can relax, visit the shop, equip new gear, or unlock new skills. 
Remember this thing? It has been driving players crazy since U10 with wondering what the heck this thing was. 
The Crystal Core itself is what unlocks a branch (the lowest branch) on the skill tree - Fire, Gravity, Lightning, Mind and Body. From here, players can use the lesser Crystal Shards they found in Dungeons to purchase skills within those branches. 
There are pros and cons to either direction, so this will be up to the player! One player might find it cool to be able to slow time, featherfall, and cast the odd fireball, making themselves diverse and a little bit good at everything, whereas another player might decide to go all-in on specialization and become a full blown Fire Mage; outstanding at incinerating foes but not so versatile in other non-combat situations.
This update is a big one, so you can imagine the hell we are in right now with bugs.
Everything is on fire? Why not.
Some unholy Cthulu creature decides to manifest in your game? Just another day.
But despair not, we are on it! The whole team are trying their best right now and are pushing really hard to focus on cleaning up the game into a playable state. We can do it!
