Ghost was working on the scene where Sepulchure bursts through the door and the Knights of Swordhaven fly through the air. Their capes fluttered. Then he thought to himself, "Hey, I bet I can make this work as an actual player cape." PRESTO! The first every fully animated cape in AQWorlds Infinity. #NiceGhost

The rewards for Legendary Backer's and above include Spell Stones. These are a new type of item in your inventory that can do... well, it can do anything! For example, if your party is in the middle of a dungeon, and is need of a forge to sell, get gear, upgrade their weapons... you will be able to activate your SpellStone to summon forth a forge. Warning... the summoner may actually become the forge. :D We would like to release this alongside the upcoming Founder's Sanctuary.

Thank you for letting us know! Oh boy.... our new release is NOT live yet. But things we are working on keep escaping the matrix and leaking live before we are finished with them. We plan on releasing the new quests and rewards tomorrow.

The Good King Alteon's eyes have seen a lot... from the days where the Monster Lords rules our world to the betrayal and doom of his most loyal Knight and best friend. That is why we allocated extra texture space for his eyes... making them look better in his cutscene close-ups. Each part of the King received an art upgrade with incredible attention to detail. Including the order of the gems on his legendary and magical dragon sword. There is one thing this King's eyes have NEVER seen. No undead army has EVER breached the walls of Swordhaven. #Foreshadowing.

Greetings friends! Grab the latest Android APK and Steam update and help us test the newest version of AQWorlds: Infinity. (Version 0.0.259) We are aiming to release a special Pirate adventure for Talk Like a Pirate Day. This will include a quest for Infinity Alpha Pirates to upgrade their armor. The next major Kickstarter Update post will be coming with it. Because we are not live on every device just yet, I want to reassure everyone that backers will also be able to get all of the special backer things we are releasing in Alpha & Beta.... no supporter is going to be left out or left behind. This is especially important since, in the next Kickstarter Post, we will also be announcing a date to move the project into Closed-Beta.

Greetings heroes! We are excited to celebrate Aranx’s birthday today with a special release... that spans both Infinity & the original AQWorlds. Yes, this is our first simultaneous release. (We probably messed it up. Be gentle :D) Log into either version of the game to obtain 4 new fully animated manticore pets.
Obtain the four Manticore pets by talking to Aranx in Battleon, he will take you to the Celestial Nexus, where the Manticores have escaped into. Aid him in taming them to earn their loyalty.
The manticore is a boss monsters & a pet. Kudos to Nulgath for the killer animation in both games.

Immortal Founders... Re-generate your Statues!
Spider & I worked on improving the statue colors today. The 1st gen statues were very dark and a little washed out. To fix this, we changed the export process. It now normalizes the colors around a nice stone-gray. When you re-generate your statue, it will now be brighter, have more contrast, and have more authentic stone look. In the screenshot below you can see the difference between mine, and the previously converted Sanaee and Mog Lin ones.

Hello heroes! The Battleon Briefing arrived a day late this week because Monday was Labor Day, which is, kind of a weird holiday because… nobody works on Labor Day 👀 Honestly, Talk Like a Pirate Day makes way more sense. At least then we KNOW what we're supposed to be doing! Anyway… the team is back, the meeting just happened, my coffee’s refilled, and I have emerged with news. And puns 😈

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! (Posting this without context. Story to follow another time.)

We do not always use charts & graphs... but when we do, it is because we are tracking the progress of something important! Take the progress of our 82 Custom Backers for instance. Alina made this chart straight from the spreadsheet we use to track the progress of the customs. It has been fun and we are learning a lot. You can see how everyone is moving through the process. Once the existing 82 customs are complete, we will improve the process so it is faster and smoother for all the eager players on the waiting list.

Nope. Those are NOT pets. PineOak took that feature that allows NPCs to move and follow you to an entirely new level.... now NPCs (like these chickens) can follow you around a map, and even to O_O other maps! This is amazing and hilarious. Escort quests are going to be so much fun.

J# (artist) completed the surrounding gardens of the Founder's Sanctuary. This is a special tribute area to all of those who supported this game project. The area features Kickstarter rewards, the book of credits, special quests, and in the center there is a giant tower filled with backer statues. (The garden features statues too). After finishing the maps for the Invasion of Swordhaven, J# returned to working on the interior of the tower. he has redesigned it a few times now. Sharing the latest concept sketch of the entry.

Here is a sneak-peek-screenshot from the Undead Invasion of Swordhaven cut-scenes that Ghost is working on. While many of the shots will be a 1:1 exact match of the original game, new scenes are being introduced to (un-)flesh it out. Ghost famously did many memorable cut-scenes from DragonFable... and he is bringing that energy to kick off AQWorlds: Infinity's story. This level of quality requires time though. So we need to invest more of those Kickstarter funds into additional animators and content preppers to assist Ghost.

Howdy heroes and hello September! Another week and another peek behind the curtains at what the team has been working on. There’s a lot happening right now, from shiny new systems and inventory improvements to some very piratey progress that we’re hoping to get into your hands soon. So let’s set sail for adventure, shall we?
