[UPDATE : Edith Edition]

Welcome to Hero I! Today I've been working hard and can finally release the demo's second town, Edith. This cozy port town will most likely be the second or third stop the player can/will make before heading to Cyria, the capital of the kingdom of Larcia.

Eventually the eastern part of town that contains the docks will be open. (Probably when the second demo or final version of the game is available.) The player will be able to purchase a ship that they can sail freely in, or purchase passage on a ship to another continent.

What else is new in Edith? The Item shop and Weapons & Armor shop have the same things as Augren...Except Hi-potions and a better sword for Ephren! Be careful though, it's a little on the expensive side for a beginner player.
And... something else returns with the addition of Edith: The Town Task minigame. This time, Cap'n Claw wants you to collect Old wood, ashes, a hook, and a clock gear from around town!
In today's final screenshot, you can see something I worked quite hard on, Edith's Lanterns! After dark they'll turn on and start to light up the town. I think it gives it a great nighttime feel.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! Don't forget to check back, because Hero I is up and running!
Thankyou for reading,
