Hello all!

As of right now, the latest update is now live! ːsteamhappyː

So, what's changed? Well, quite a lot of new content has been added!

The best way to describe the changes is in the most recent blog:



However, if you'd like a brief summary, allow me to discuss the major changes:

1. TWO brand new maps: the Home Base, where the player will be able to advance their Units, and the next explorable Map, where a host of new content has been added, including...
   
2. A new Miniboss, Arunaiya the Disciple Dragon: she's quick, with a deadly lightning bolt, and the ability to maneuver and dodge your spells unlike any other miniboss previously.
   
3. New Enemies: the dreaded Disciple Dragon, whom cast a powerful fireball, and the Blighted Flower, whom summons poisonous clouds.
   
4. New Worldly Beings: with the return of the Fountain, a healing structure, among many new plants to destroy, the concept of Elemental Combat is making its return with this early installment of attempting to teach the player about the Elemental affiliation behind each spell.
   
5. Newly fleshed out class, the Apprentice. Advanced from the Disciple after defeating the wicked Barein, the Apprentice has a new slew of spells to make use of. To name a few- the Great Fireball makes its return as the Empowered Fireball, a devastating Fire spell that scorches the land around. The Greater Mystic Bolt, a powerful Mystic spell that can decimate a target caught in its blast. A poisonous cloud, which slowly boils its foes to nothing with deadly poison. An entangling spell... for those enemies that just can't stop moving! And many more!
   

...the above changes of course come with a significant amount of bug fixes, balance adjustments, and overall improvements to the game.

Curious about what the new map is like? Well, look no further- I have a full playthrough of said map in great detail, showcasing it alongside all of the new spells. Check it out below:



With the launch of this update, Fragment's Moonrise has transitioned out of Free to Play. But worry not- I didn't start the initial price off at anything too high, and I only plan on steadily increasing it as I feel a sufficient amount of new content is added to the game.

Because of the transition out of Free to Play, Valve has informed me that the review score for the game has been reset. I would very much so appreciate a new review! My main goal is to continue building and improving upon the current game to create something that truly earns a positive score, and is a game worth investing your time into.

Now, for a bit of sad news- with the latest released update, your existing save file has been reset. While I didn't want to do this, and was trying to write update routines to remedy this and account for the numerous changes from Demo 1.0 to Demo 2.0, it was just not reliably plausible. I hope this is okay, and I hope you still enjoy this latest update!

So, with all that being said, thanks for checking out Fragment's Moonrise!
