Public Release (v0.1.4b)


Alright, we're public after a little playtesting and bugfixing.

If you're reading this, thanks for checking out my game, and thanks to folks who playtested early for finding a bunch of bugs (and things that may not have technically been bugs, but made me consider or make changes to improve the play experience)

Without being too much of a spoiler, here are the skills that are trainable in this version of the game

  • Lumberjacking
  • Physical Fitness
  • Axe Mastery
  • Fire Resistance
  • Evasion
  • Perception
  • Deception
  • Swimming
  • Blacksmithing
  • Woodworking
  • Mana Control
  • Poison Resistance
  • Shield Mastery
  • Draconic Knowledge

Skill titles are: Novice (below 10), Apprentice (10), Journeyman (25), Expert (50) and Master (90). In this version of the game, getting anything past Journeyman level is just for your own amusement. Most skills only give increased benefits at new titles, but some scale more smoothly. Cutscenes happen at loops 10, 30 and 60.


I will continue adding content (as well as fixing any bugs people find), and Learning Curve 0.1.5 should be here before the end of July.

how do you gain swimming? I have been unable to find a way

It's not a very important or useful skill right now, but there's really only one water source in the early parts of the game, and there's a very good reason you might want to jump in...

I'm having trouble equipping armor and shield despite being able to use the two axes. Also, I am having problems leveling axe mastery, its only at level 1 despite lumberjacking being at 70

Thanks for playing - Axe Mastery is a known bug I'll be fixing soon. You can't equip armor until you've gone into the mines at least once, so that may be your problem? Otherwise I'd need more info to figure out what's going wrong.
