BlackThorne Keep is landing on Itch.IO!

After a few months of solo development, the project is finally in a shape where it is roughly playable. Since the updates are so frequent, I decided bring the project to itch.IO in order to expedite updates to the backers - exciting!

As for the current situation of the project, its still very VERY early stages at this point. Some of the systems are in place but it lacks a LOT of polishing and of course, the vast majority of the systems are not yet working properly - or not in game at all but it is playable at its current form. 

What is in the game?

Game Modes: 
-Fate of the BlackThorne:  this is the campaign mode, and the main game mode for now. Its supposed to be a grand campaign telling the story of Thommas BlackThorne while he quests to find meaning in an old family obsession, the BlackThorne Keep - but right now its just a few quests and a big world to look around. Looks cool, but nothing much yet. Riding horse is nice!

-Temple of Helyanwe: Its a template for quest testing. Not finished, will be iterated upon pretty constantly.

-Arena Mode: A place to test and practice combat. It is working as intended but will be expanded heavily trough development.
