Summer update

Hi Spiritlings! We haven't only been drinking beer in the sun this summer. Here's a bit of update on what's been going on for the past months. We've made significant strides in both the lore and gameplay mechanics, aiming to enhance the depth and richness of your experience in Unyha.

But first: we've decided to keep these updates coming monthly or so. The idea is to keep everyone in the loop, and when it's time -- up to date and ready to do some play testing!! Ok, here's a rundown of our latest progress:

Spiritfolk Integration

Spiritfolk Lore and Style

We've been hard at work weaving the mysterious and enchanting Spiritfolk into various aspects of the game. From their ancient ties to the Unyha Tree to their influence during character creation, you'll find the Spiritfolk's unique culture and mysticism reflected throughout the world. Their presence adds a layer of intrigue and magic, enriching the overall narrative.

Spiritfolk Poetry Generator

A particularly fun addition is the automatic generation of Spiritfolk poetry based on players' story-worthy events. When you accomplish something significant in the game, the Spiritfolk will now commemorate it in verse. This feature not only deepens the lore but also creates personalized, poetic keepsakes of your adventures.

Magery Overhaul

We've completely revamped the magery system! Introducing Spellstaves and Manaflow, two new elements that redefine how magic is wielded in Unyha. Spellstaves now serve as conduits for powerful spells, while the Manaflow system adds a strategic layer to spellcasting, ensuring that mages must carefully manage their magical energy. This overhaul brings fresh dynamics and challenges to all things arcane.

Online presence

New website & Steam page with two promotional videos. The website also houses a new type: entry-hyperlink id: 3caEuILfxXsBJCyf81LSiD, where we're continuously add high level core concepts.

Additional Updates

New Lobby Screen

We've introduced a brand-new lobby screen that offers a comprehensive overview of your House's past characters, its armory, current heirlooms, and recent events. This screen acts as your central hub, keeping you connected to your House's legacy and helping you plan your next moves.

Story-Related Mechanics and Emergent Events

To keep the game world vibrant and unpredictable, we’ve added more story-related mechanics and emergent events. These additions are designed to keep your experience fresh, with new challenges and surprises around every corner.

System Feedback Clarifications

We've been listening to your feedback and have worked hard to clarify various system messages and feedback loops. These changes aim to make your interactions with the game's mechanics more intuitive and transparent, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience.

Tweaks and Balancing

As always, we've been meticulously tweaking and balancing the game. From combat adjustments to item stats, we've fine-tuned numerous aspects to create a more cohesive and balanced experience. Your continued feedback will help us keep Unyha as fun and challenging as possible.

What’s Next?

With all these updates, we're closer than ever to the playtesting phase, and we can't wait to have you all dive into the world of Unyha and explore these new features firsthand. Stay tuned for more news on playtesting, and as always, thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm!

Until next time, may your House's legacy grow ever stronger!
