Alpha Lion Cub — 3Q 2019

This version is a technological demo which contains large parts of final game mechanics, open world map generator for example.

Goal is to breathe first life force into the game. At alpha stage game will be capable of just moving around maps of open world and dungeons (also between them), primitive combat with some fearsome opponents and a couple of player abilities.

All graphics and other content (except open world maps) are placeholders.

Nuts are in full support of multiplayer from the beginning. You will be able to play with your friends in one continuous space.
