Update:
Development continues on the next major update. I still don't have an ETA though, as the companions for hire system requires a lot of work. It involves multiple new NPCs and major extensions to the combat engine. I'm still playing around with various ideas I've had about how to integrate the companion with the turn-based fights. It's been a fun system to develop.
Request:
On a related topic as I'm tweaking the combat engine, I wanted to request some specific info from alpha testers. I'm trying to get a sense of how players progress through the game. I requested this info from a handful of specific testers, but I've only heard back from half of them. Thus I thought I would throw the request out to the broader tester community. I want to get a statistical sense of where most players are at (in terms of skills, equipment, boons and so forth) when they feel they complete most of the current content. This should likely take place between levels 8 to 10 for most players as they work through the zones, ending in the forest which is currently the highest level zone designed for level 8 exploration. Here is the info I'd like to get from several more testers that have played through most content, whatever level they may be at that point.

Simply send a private message to me if you can provide this information. Please don't send if you have used substantial cheats as that would skew results.
