The road through Endsville

Where the game stands today, what just shipped, and what comes next. Written plainly: what is built, what is rough, what is not there yet.

v0.5.0 BETA - OUT NOW

The Deep Ledger

• Five sky cities raised from the street on iron pylons: Weathervane Heights, the Chimney Crown, Cranework, the Ossuary Spans and the High Tide. Ride the lifts up, then help the people who live there.
• Three hidden goblin cave towns under the streets, each with a raider warren next door.
• Four new skills (foraging, salvaging, alchemy, farming), a full item ecosystem and 500 new items for levels 50-100.
• Crafting takes time now: every bench has its own work sounds and animations.
• Creature levels run from 1 to 81 and bosses from 82 to 561. Any boss above 200 needs a group. Rats and bats leave you alone until you hit them.
• You can keep up to 11 quests active, or 24 if you are a supporter.
• The whole art library has been redrawn to match the characters: darker, grittier, heavy outlines.
• New boot screen, new songs, and the wiki now shows every item with its icon, recipe, sources and rarity.

JUST LANDED - THE FRESH START

Everyone starts again

• Every soul starts from zero for the second half of the beta. Accounts, faces, ranks, pets, guilds and anything you paid for were kept.
• The Reaper's Tour: on your first launch the Grim Reaper carries you through the city, then drops you through your own front door.
• Twenty-five new dungeon creatures, each with its own drops, spread through the ten regional dungeons.
• Combat rebalanced: creatures get tougher with their level, hits land instantly and kills explode.
• Phones: the screen is laid out wider so everything fits, the minimap sits top left, the chat stays out of the way.
• Physics: roofs are solid and slide you off, stairs are taken with W instead of grabbing you, you hang on ladders, and the edge of every map is a wall.
• Dropped items float and wait for you to pick them up. The chat was rebuilt from scratch.
