General Revamp Plans
Base Game
The base game content was the first one to receive its weapon model revamp. Similarly, it will also be the first one to receive its clothing model revamp. The weapons will have new animations and behavior. The Wizard Staff will receive a functionality overhaul. The books and potions found in the Wizard Tower will receive new models and animations as well.
Although it is widely requested, mobile support will have to wait until the UI Redesign begins.
Premium
The Premium gamepass content will receive its update in the last big update in 2021. Both the weapon models and their associated animations will be revamped and released in the same update. This will be done to bring the Premium gamepass’ content up to the appropriate standard.
The clothing for the Premium gamepass is planned to receive an update as well, but there are no estimates of when this will be released yet.
Examples of a weapon model, before and after revamp:
Examples of weapon animations, before and after revamp:
Eastern
The Eastern gamepass will have its update split in two.
Part 1 will be an update to the Weapon Models, the Animations and the removal of obsolete weapons. (As well as renaming the weapons appropriately.)
In this part of the update, I will be using some of Auereillius (@DmitriyLazer)’s models, which he kindly offered to make for the game.
This update will also see the introduction of several Chinese culture weapons such as the Guandao, Liu Ye Dao and the Jian. Middle-Eastern European culture weapons are planned as well, but this is still on the drawing board and has nothing concrete planned yet.
Part 2 will be an update to the Clothing. I am currently considering commissioning someone to work with me on this update.
Descended
The Descended gamepass only has weapons. This means it is a relatively quick update to make. This gamepass will see all of its weapon models reworked, and replace its current animations with completely new ones.
The particles on the Descended weapons will also be revamped to better fit the rest of the game, and look less tacky and out of place.
Fantasy+
Similar to the Eastern gamepass, the Fantasy+ gamepass will come in two separate updates. Unfortunately I will need to replace some more models in the clothing section for this.
All of the Weapons and Animations will be reworked, the Wizard Staff will be given the same functionality as the Base Game Wizard Staff.
What else?
The Hreinngar Gamepass, Farming Tools Gamepass, and Town Gamepass will not be receiving a revamp, with the exception for the Farming Tools’ code. They’ll receive the newest version of the Combat update.
I will not add the helmets to the Hreinngar Gamepass unless I decide to rework the original helmets used in Northern Tales
The map and environment will continue being worked on by @Ahlvie . I’ll be taking over interior designs, as well as the redesign of the Elven Forest, Dwarven Cave and the Underworld.
There’s currently no updates or news on the Fairy gamepass. This is very low on my priority list at the moment.
Lastly, the Bucket gamepass will receive a new bucket weapon. This will be a normal bucket that you wear over your head, and hold in two hands when using it as a weapon.
