False Hero

Hi everyone! First of all I want to start of with a big thank you! I'm quite overwhelmed by both the insane amount of positivity and also the incredibly constructive and helpful feedback!Over the last days, I've been reading all of your feedback and opinions and have condensed them into 3 general points that I plan to address with this patch at least in some capacity:Item variety & loosing half of your Knowledge Points on DeathA lot of loot in this game is upgrade materials. Since you get your Combat Arts from enemies, there is only Clothing, Scrolls and Consumables left to spice up the loot-pool. While there still need to be a bunch of upgrade materials, I think I underutilized the Consumable aspect. In this patch I place an additional 7 of each consumable type throughout the game. These replace item locations that were inks before, and the inks that are replaced have just been stacked together with some other ink location. This will hopefully not just make looting a little more interesting, but also reduce the frustration of loosing your Knowledge Points.

It's hard to wrap my head around it. I've been working towards this moment for so many years and I'm super excited to finally get the game into your hands!To celebrate the release I wanted to talk a little bit about the development progress of the game, what inspired me and show a little bit of concept art and work in progress pictures:The beginningI started working on the game back in 2019 when I came fresh out of school. I had just finished making a small highscore-based game and wanted to create something bigger. Zelda was always a big inspiration for me. I grew up playing Ocarina of Time and I wanted to make something similar. The design of those big interconnected dungeons with puzzles and boss fights always fascinated me. There are still remnants of this initial design idea in the game. The temples that each give you a power of the gods, which is then used for puzzle solving and combat is directly inspired by those early Zelda titles.(My concept sketches for the Cliffs of Hope)(Placing basic shapes to get a feel for level design)Getting fascinated by FromSoftwareIt took quite a bit of development until I really found what the essence of the game would be.

60,000 Wishlists, I can't believe it!When I started working on this project back in 2019, I would never have expected it to get this kind of support. I'm incredibly grateful to all of you, all of this is still a bit surreal for me!I'm working really hard on fixing the final bugs, balancing all the abilities and bosses, and most importantly doing a lot of testing.I can't wait to get the game into your hands in only 12 days!

Since development is going really well, Ytopia and I have decided to move the release date one week earlier.This will give False Hero a bit more space regarding other releases and sales, and get the game into your hands sooner!I hope you're as excited as I am! Get ready to explore the lands of the gods on September 22nd!
