A Shift in Rhythm
Greetings to all martial artists. You may have noticed the silence this week. I saw many of you checking the records and support pages looking for news. Please do not worry as the fire of development is still burning bright.
I have come to a realization regarding our path. The strict weekly update schedule has become a restriction on quality. True inspiration flows like water and cannot be forced. Some weeks are filled with creative storms while others are quiet. Forcing content just to meet a deadline does not satisfy my standards or your experience.
The Living Jianghu
I am currently working deep in the code to implement a major new system called Living Events.
- Living NPCs: Characters will now live their own lives within the zones rather than just waiting for you.
- Time and Distance: These factors will now play a real role in your journey and immersion.
- Tone Shift: To fit this living world the dialogue in these sections will shift to a more grounded 'daily life' style while the main story retains its poetic roots. We are combining the best of both worlds.
- System Rework: I am also completely removing the old Place system which has become too clunky for the vision I have.
There is much work to be done before this is ready for you to test. I will keep this game going no matter what. Thank you for your patience as we enter this new stage of cultivation.
