As with all roadmaps these are goals and are not necessarily promises. Being a small indie game dev studio which gets variable amounts of funding, volunteers, and randomly available te...

How this system will work is that when you die your gear takes durability loss. And once it takes enough it will be broken and the stats will stop contributing. The only way to remedy this is to...

Flambe grew up different from the other dudus. He had pink feathers and was made fun of by his peers. But one day as he was walking home from school he saw the most wonderful sight. An elegant flamingo- striding through crystal clear water, gleaning in the sun. Flambe couldn't believe his eyes. Th...
