SKALD: Against the Black Priory Update - Beta 1.1.2 Live

Scape-IT’s backer beta for their old-school RPG SKALD: Against the Black Priory has received a new update that fixes some assorted bugs and issues. And with that out of the way, the team can now focus on producing a “larger, meatier demo.” Together with that quick announcement, the latest Kickstarter update shares a couple of gifs that compare the game in its current state with its original iteration.

Be sure to check those out, and here are just the text bits:

Hi everyone!

I just uploaded a new version of the BETA to Itch.io. This one is a minor update and mostly consists of fixes that have been made in response to BETA 1.1.0 feedback.

In other words, there is no new content in the demo but I still very much appreciate all and any playtesting!

That being said, a larger, meatier demo is not far off for you backers (and the press) so just stay posted!

As a short aside, have a look at this vintage SKALD GIF compared to the new one - I love seeing how far the game has come!

Could you imagine how the game would have done if it had gone to crowdfunding looking like it does now (the GIF above is from the 2019 Kickstarter)?

In any case, the above GIF shows off the first forays into multi-tile characters. It's really hard making 16x16 models look scary and being able to use larger models sure go a long way!

It's back to work for me - have a great day!
