The monthly updates are the frame work needed for the big gameplay updates people want. Tyriq could for example sit and grind out say five new items for the first area in the game each month...but then you'd never explore all the other zones, fight all the other enemies, unlock all the other spells, and use all the other unique items planned for this game. There needs to be a balance between gameplay and long term goals, for the overall health of the game.

These things need to get done, but once they do, it's going to improve every single unique enemy tyriq adds.

Heres a few examples of how the updates that just went in are going to impact the gameplay massively and in the next major update.

The AI update makes for much more interesting enemies straight up, but what it allows Tyriq to do is create tons of interesting things in the future for new enemies that navigate around the totally new areas that will be release in the next major update.

It's not just a a change of color, these areas will have a totally new feel to them that changes the way you'll play in them and move around them.

And those seemingly simple charge stars will evolve into special mechanics like transforming enemies into enchanted foes (Theres a hint of this in the game already), and a whole revamped spell charge system that lts tyriq add in all the other effects and traits.

The current charge system works well when theres just the catacombs, but there are many other planned zones and your journey wont end there. (well unless you die there I guess).

After each major update we get better, stronger, and able to improve the quality of each update in the future. Hopefully down the line we will be able to keep up with peoples need for more and more Catacomb Kids.
