It's nice to hear that base building and management will be more substantial in Elin. I've always thought it was the most fun part of regular Elona, but you need to be fairly rich and accomplished to afford the really nice houses and the good decorations. The actual dungeon-crawling part of Elona never really hooked me, there's tons of other games which do it better, it was always the sheer amount of side activities you could get lost in.

So someone new decided to try his hand at updating CGX to 2.17 and I am not sure if it works or not. This might be the only time we get a new CGX.

2.17 update
Dragon Ball role-playing spacts
Lake nefia walls have new items in them through mining
Vehicles except the truck now provide a map travel speed bonus which benefits slow players
Joining the Thieves' Guild now requires -100 karma
Knockout special action now reduces chance to hit instead of being incredibly weak
Enemies who are out of sight or run away far enough will focus more on healing


Future 2.18 update
Cooking will no longer multiply cooked foods, but will enhance their quality as it levels up forever

The final hail mary stretch goals for the last few days are surely high in implications between Dungeoneering, Merchant Guild intrigues, and Elaborate Player Guild wrangling---I reckon they have a chance given how at least historically final week surges can surprise and delight.

It's great to see another variant, but just to note so that nobody gets confused, it's not the official custom variant, it's much more casual in terms of difficulty.

Correct. This is built off of Elona+CustomCGX 2.17.1.0, the one linked earlier, so it has content parity to the most current +C release.

Nah I didn't know that. I still haven't played since 1.88.

Does it currently happen? I would think the func for all breakable stuff is overridden but I can take another look.

Have you seen it? It sort of progressively fills in on the bell, like a meter is being completed. Doesn't seem related to my quests.

I thought maybe related to the 'vanish' ability, but I think I've seen them vanish without it going complete. Is it related to some sort of new research or capturing mechanic perhaps?

Have to admit I was super surprised how well the Kickstarter has done. I spent many many hours on various versions of Elona over the years and figured it was niche enough they'd be lucky to hit the original goal... glad to be wrong!

I remember Noa was in a real bad place the last time I had really been up to date on what was going on over there, it's awesome to see the progress that has been made & the help they were able to get on the project. I'm almost as excited for this as I was for Barkley 2 now! This one is a real game, though!

Bumping this because the date for the Beta was announced to be Friday, June 7th.

It's still only for Kickstarter backers, but more people should have this tier, so maybe I'm not the only one here playing this anymore.


quote:

Hello Adventurers!

The preparation period before the beta has successfully concluded, and Elin's beta test is about to begin. Many balance adjustments and new features were added during the pre-beta phase. Whether you're a player from the alpha phase or joining us for the first time in the beta, we hope you're excited to experience the improved Elin.

Please refer to Ylvapedia's change log for information on added features and updates during the pre-beta period.

Currently, we are performing the final bug fixes and balance adjustments in preparation for the beta launch. If everything goes smoothly, we plan to distribute the beta keys on Friday, June 7th. The beta keys will be sent to the email addresses registered on Kickstarter, so if you've pledged to participate in the beta, please make sure your email address is up to date.

The beta test is included as a reward for the Tourist and Adventurer pledges. However, we also plan to send beta keys to those with the Citizen pledge around July or August.

We've also got an incredibly cool illustration for the beta launch, drawn by NZ. We can't wait to share this illustration with you all as part of the beta launch announcement!

Thank you for your support and patience, and we look forward to seeing you in the beta!
