    Hello Avatars!

    We've been busy with lots of improvements and updates this release. We keep improving visual tools and assets to build scenes with, and so it's fun to re-visit some of the older existing maps and touch them up with our new toys.

    Hutch, Damon, and I have been touching up Isle of Storms recently (as well as an update to Arabella from the character team!). Here's some of our progress:

    Some feedback from earlier in this release:


    Much much more over here but a bit older also a lot more rambling than usual:

    The screenshots look excellent.

    I watched a recent Shroud clip on YouTube, and it had some of the most graphically interesting + vibrant visuals I've seen from you dudes. The variation in items, weaponry, clothing, cloaks etc...all looked really good.

    Been up to the Isle of Storms today and the new look is great, so much more detail, well worth the effort as things just keep getting better. Good work.

    Thanks for sharing. The visuals are gorgeous updates for the game. Great work. It looks fantastic. :(

    I'm also hoping updates for extra discoveries get added into old areas as well as new. Like on Tops of mountains, in nooks and crannies to make exploration so much more interesting and fun.

    I'd love if it was Random as well. Perhaps you find a hidden ore node one time, other times someone's lost back pack or maybe a dead body with a clue to his/murder or death.

    Later I want to see water-life, and water come alive with fishing made viable in this game with Different types of fish throughout the world, sometimes dangerous fish and interesting fishing loot. I can't wait for the world to come alive this way too as well as visually. More fishing recipes will be needed too and bait types too with new fish. Also needed a high end fish food.

    Thanks again for all you do.
