The Age of Decadence January Update

For the latest monthly update for The Age of Decadence, the folks at Iron Tower Studio outline the improvements and addition contained in the last updates, and their plans for the future. Here's a snip:

So update #2 adds:

  • 65 Achievements to track your progress and playstyles
  • 3 characters you can talk to (a storyteller in the local inn his story is related to what Cassius tells you in Teron, if you escort him to the palace; a beggar (near the entrance to the Slums) who served Antidas during his war with House Aurelian, and a clerk working for one of the caravan masters in the Gate district).
  • A small adventure for loremasters and explorers of long-forgotten places; to initiate, enter the Slums and talk to the man standing near a well to the left of the entrance.
  • An arrival of a caravan (an intro quest; just walk towards the arena when you enter the city)
  • A quest revolving around a gem surprisingly similar to the one Feng tries to sell you. To initiate, talk to the owner of the rug store in the Trade district.
  • 2 unique weapons we didn't have time to do before; explore the lower level of the tower of Zamedi to get this ball rolling (disclaimer: crafting skill required)
  • Training with Kemnebi and Erebus.
  • Increased carry weight (you're welcome).
  • Historically accurate (wolf) helmet and capes generous contribution from Lexx, one of the community members.
  • Bug fixes, balance fixes, reputation tweaks, quest reward tweaks (money and skill points), etc.


Update #3 (Feb update)

We're planning to:

  • finally finish the journal (the missing pages that say 'not in the demo' at the moment) and organize all the info you're getting in a convenient and accessible manner.
  • add more ingredients you can gather in different locations
  • make some Maadoran fights more challenging
  • finish the reputation adjustments and reaction
  • add more quest solutions as suggested by Brandon and other folks
  • visual improvements to Maadoran
  • more characters to talk to as suggested by Codex's very own Miss Bee - special thanks for taking her time to give us very detailed and very helpful feedback
