The story, on the other hand, will only be <strong>partially extended<\/strong>. Once the end of the plot is reached the game will switch into a <strong>gameplay preview<\/strong>, allowing you to play through more content without the story. We will try to keep any progress made within the preview (such as collected chests and solved puzzles) valid once the story is added in later updates, but in general we recommend replaying the content of the preview mode again once the story is added for the best experience. If you enjoy the gameplay of Alabaster Dawn and have no problem replaying content, we\u2019d very much appreciate your feedback on all content available through the preview.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, certain other updates (like version 0.5.0 and 0.8.0) will <strong>focus on the story<\/strong>, adding cutscenes and main-story quests for all available areas and dungeons. If you see yourself playing the game for the story, we recommend waiting for these updates as they allow you to experience all new content with proper context and close to the complete state.<\/p>\n<p>Structuring updates like this helps us a great deal when developing the story, since it gives us more time to work out the finer details, avoid changing dialogs and re-doing scenes later during development. At the same time, we believe that delivering the plot in bigger chunks will give you a better experience, as it allows you to emerge yourself into the story for a longer time.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that the <strong>roadmap might change<\/strong>. We might decide to change certain milestones, or add smaller updates in-between. Whenever the plan changes, we\u2019ll let you know in advance!<\/p>\n<h1><!-- notionvc: 53ef1b24-bc72-492f-97ad-951d365482d4 --><\/h1>\n<h2>Version 0.2.0 Milestone<\/h2>\n<p>Next up on the list after 0.1.0 would, by common logic, be <strong>0.2.0<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>The central focus of this update we will be an entirely\u00a0<strong>new area<\/strong>, the swamp called <em>\u201cScala Moor\u201d,<\/em> to the east of Sundalan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8071\" src=\"http:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot-600x338.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/swamp-screenshot.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- notionvc: 03df903b-94a1-4666-a135-7fe468e1e601 --><\/p>\n<p>Of course, as a new area, it will also contain various <strong>new enemies<\/strong> that have adapted to this wet environment, with their own unique attacks and behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, your progress will be rewarded with another weapon, the <strong>Spear<\/strong>. Or is it a Lance&#8230;? Either way, it\u2019s a long pointy stick, so it will serve as Juno\u2019s first melee weapon with the Pierce attack type!<\/p>\n<p>Now, with a new weapon incoming, you surely wonder if there will also be <strong>another elemental aspect<\/strong>. And yes, you will find one in the <strong>new dungeon<\/strong> within the new Swamp region. A new dungeon, containing new puzzle elements, enemies and maybe even a boss!<\/p>\n<p>Aside from everything in the new area, we are planning to complete the <strong>missing quests and extra content<\/strong> in the already existing ones. This mostly means more quests in Sundalan and the Aurum Plains, but we should also finally get rid of the \u201cUnfinished Content\u201c sign posts elsewhere\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the extended content, we are planning to <strong>extend the weapon skill trees<\/strong>, which, as you might have noticed, can be completed very quickly right now. In upcoming releases, you will also be able to unlock bonus effects related to the combo actions you unlock, giving you more varying paths to spend your skill points on.<\/p>\n<p>Another highly requested feature is the ability to mark places on the world map with markers. <strong>\u201cMap Markers\u201d<\/strong>, if you will. Those have been around in CrossCode and will make their return in a the upcoming version of Alabaster Dawn!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8073\" src=\"http:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot-600x338.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dojo-screenshot.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there will also be a new\u00a0<strong>Dojo<\/strong> feature which\u2019ll allow players to <strong>try out combos<\/strong> in a safe environment while receiving informative data about their damage and such.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, with extended content, the <strong>Roguelite Mode &#8220;Somu&#8217;s Dream&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0will also continue to be extended in parallel, which means more floors and enemies for your runs!<\/p>\n<p>As for the version\u2019s release date, we are currently aiming for <strong>August of this year<\/strong>, so in <strong>about 3 months<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h2>AMA ON Reddit<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8086\" src=\"http:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ama-ad-600x398.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ama-ad-600x398.png 600w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ama-ad-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.radicalfishgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ama-ad-768x510.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the dust around our Early Access launch cleared, we decided to do an <strong>\u201cAsk Me Anything\u201d<\/strong> on the <strong>r\/JRPG subreddit<\/strong>!
