Nice! It's clear you've already put a lot of work into the project and it shows. Very cool that you also have basic network multiplayer already working!

Thx for the early feedback   ::)

In what direction does the story go?
From Octav:
The story is the richest element in our game. I plan on writing a book about it later on, after the game is done, it's difficult to sum up because it's simply so rich, but it's about a civil war in the fictional world of Erden. You step into the boots of a wizard's apprentice, unknown to this world and you begin uncovering a strange dark plot that goes back many years in the past, to the very roots of civilization. The story is full of beautifully designed characters, it's a game of beauty and grotesque, we show the player a beautiful village which they get attached to, only to see it burn to the ground in the next scene. It's a rich world and we're only getting started on it.
