v0.1.5: Melee projectiles, new animations
by Nikke on Thu Jan 03, 2013 2:38 am
The Ironbane team and myself would like to wish you the best for 2013. We've got a lot planned and hope to deliver you an awesome game that will blow you away. This update aims to bring you a more polished experience, with better animations and loading screens as well as some experimenting, namely the use of melee weapons as projectiles. I've personally found the old melee combat somewhat dull and find the current solution a worthy alternative which is more fun. Opinions vary of course, and I welcome you to share your vision of this update.v0.1.5 Changelog
- Improved loading transitions
- Added new dying animations
- Fixed some caching issues with character selection screen
- Fixed some tiles looking strange from far away

by Nikke on Tue Dec 25, 2012 10:55 pm
I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I do apologize for the lack of Christmas content, but I'm sure you would appreciate us working on getting the game finished rather than some fancy santa stuff delaying development. Ironbane is getting more awesome by the minute as this update includes support for artificial lighting! It's definitely something which we will need to spice up the atmosphere and bring Ravenwood Village and various other locations more to life.v0.1.4 Changelog
- Added artificial lighting
- Aiming icon now changes when you just fired your weapon
- Vendors now restock their original inventory after 5 minutes

v0.1.3: Theme music, Permadeath, Co-op
by Nikke on Sun Dec 23, 2012 2:08 am
We've finally added a first version of our theme song, with special thanks to Tom Peter's hard work! Other interesting changes include Permadeath and the disabling of global PvP.

Forum back online

Hey everyone,The website is back online after a serious (sudden) downtime due to unforeseen events. The web-server had to be upgraded for security reasons, but this caused massive incompatibility issues which had to be resolved. Given my strict time schedule this was not an easy task.
In other news, I have been able to work further on Ironbane and have managed to do so with great progress! A lot of things have changed and I will be pleased to hear your feedback once the new version is ready for a test play.
Hope to hear you soon!
