Numantian Games' oldschool turn-based RPG Lords of Xulima, of which we did a lengthy preview not so long ago, has received a major Early Access update on Steam. The update introduces new regions to the game with around 30 hours of additional gameplay, as well as new high level skills for Mages and Clerics.
Read the update in full on Kickstarter.
Mathieu has also told me that "development [on Lords of Xulima] will be speeding up quite a bit this month". Read the full planned schedule here.
Finally, Lords of Xulima is now available in the Humble Store, where you can buy it at 20% off until Monday.
Numantian Games' oldschool turn-based RPG Lords of Xulima, of which we did a lengthy preview not so long ago, has received a major Early Access update on Steam. The update introduces new regions to the game with around 30 hours of additional gameplay, as well as new high level skills for Mages and Clerics.
We are very happy to announce that we have unlocked a new portion of the game with about 30 hours of gameplay. Now the game is playable up to 80% of the full content. Everything but the Titans chapter is now playable. The two chapters, "The Divine Artifacts" and "The Impious Princes" can be completed now.
We recommend you to start exploring the Northwest part of Vilak, entering from Sorrentia, and then continue your adventure in Rasmura. The new content is more open and non linear than ever; you have to choose carefully where to go and what to explore and which enemies to fight. Don't try to clean a whole region, instead travel and explore the different regions. You can explore a part of the Ancient Ruins of Devonia, then travel to Tailkendil island in Varas Talak, then return to the Tower of Rage, explore the West of Vilak... More than ever, your destiny is in your hands.
By the way, the entire region of Nagira is now unlocked, although you will have to find a way to reach the Ovengel's castle without ending with your bones burned to the ground.
New High Level skills for Mages and Clerics
Originally we estimated that players would finish the game with a 40-45 level party, so because of that there are no new skills beyond level 40. But we know that some players are collecting until the last experience point they can, so some heroic parties can reach new epics levels of 50-55 or even more. To reward those awesome players, we have created some new high level skills for levels 45 and 50 that will make you feel as if you were a Demigod.
Most people never will see those skills, but they are there. Surely people that plays the Hard-Core mode will find these skills helpful. And we will implement more new skills for the rest of the classes.

If they can capture that sense of wonder and exploration in the actual game-play then they will have a winner on their hands.
