Yeah that would be great! I appreciate the support!

We're going to be doing two things; ratcheting up the difficulty as you succeed at combat events and letting you ratchet it up or down by a little bit between events. The game will give you some control but always be nudging you to perform better and more skillfully. Oh that's a bummer! Let...

It's hard to see in the teaser video but there will definitely be activity in the backgrounds because I want players to feel like they're inside a real world. And sort of! There will be a female body that you can use if you'd like, but there gear is the same regardless.

Working hard on Aztez!
