 Dev Log 10/1/15 **Sailing:** >!  That's right sailing is officially confirmed and already added into Veridian! This will open a lot of doors in exploration and possibilities. Upon release sailing will be for members only because it is currently under testing still. Members will be able use sailing to enter new areas as well such as the sunken city of Akrias. >! **World Map:** >! >!  This is still a work in progress with lots more to add once we get that far in the lore. It gives you a general idea of the layout of Veridian though.

@Agoraphobic Thanks alot! I've actually been getting alot done just between yesterday and today so I'm really happy about the progress so far. I can't wait for you guys to finally be able to play Veridian with all the work and time put into it. I'm just going to leave this here:  These are the basic sets they will be good to start with but your going to want better as the you get farther. All these sets will be able to be crafted at any Blacksmith as long as you have to required materials.

@Baron Mohenjo Daro You are absolutely correct. Members will get the first dibs on all new items before released to everyone else so you could use that to your advantage and sell these items for high prices and there will be some other benefits as well. @BeNjO Exactly I won't force anyone to pay at all. You don't even need to buy anything to play the game and there won't be any limits being a free player minus you'll have to wait a little longer for content updates but you will still have access to them when released. This is just for people who'd like to help support the game and help pay for server and web hosting.  Dev Update 9/2/15 * * * Time for the Dev update! Currently I'm still working on a few things like revamping some maps and finishing other maps. I've been making really good progress though at least I hope. Next step is filling in with NPCs and Quests and then Beta testing will be ready! I really hope you guys will like what I've been doing with Veridian as I've been putting a lot of work and effort to make it the best I can. Screenshot of the day: >! 

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to post an update to let you guys know Veridian is far from dead. I've still been working on it as much as I can and currently I've been working on populating _Norn Faldir_ with quests and other npcs and events, soon we will have the first chapter of Veridian released! That leads into my next topic. I've decided to release Veridian in parts, This means I'll have a small part of the game released upon release day but I'll be updating it quite frequently with more story and such, my thinking was every 2 weeks. This will give me one week for developing then 3-4 days for members to test everything and 2-3 days to fix all the bugs and get it ready for release. **Why I like this Idea:** >! This will allow fresh content to be constantly released to keep the game from getting stale and give you something to look forward too. Plus I've been planning ideas around this idea so it will flow really nice with the story telling. **Membership:** >! Along with planing the constant release Idea I've come up with a way of how to handle memberships. I never want Veridian to be a pay to win game because I've never liked those types of games myself. However Veridian does need to make some sort of income if it is to get better right? I've come up with the idea that membership will be more like paying to be a beta tester. Members will be the ones to test new content before it's released to the public and report bugs and they can talk to me or any of the other developers personally about any ideas they might have. **Preview:** >!  **_Let me know what you guys think of these ideas and anything else I'd love to get some feedback!_**

Wow your work looks really awesome! I can't wait to see more!

I personally really like you work I use alot of the music from your "Kingdom of light" pack in Veridian and it really does nice creating tones and emotions that help tell your story.

This is really looking awesome! Keep up the good work!

@GalacticGlum Thanks alot! It means alot to us and we hope we can make you guys proud and make a great game. * * *  **The Updated Entrance to Norn Faldir:** >!  I've currently been working mostly on mapping but I'm already getting close to all the maps we need for Alpha testing. All of the outdoor maps will be scrolling at about 40x40 which are decent sized maps. After mapping everything out I will be going into creating the quests (We already have a strong story written out and I plan on bringing all of it alive. Along with some fun side quests when you wish to take a break from the story.

**Night Raid:** Norn Faldir is normally a peaceful place to be until the sun disappears then you best be ready because these Rebels are no enemy to be taken lightly… >!  That's right now at night, Rebels will attack and it's up to you to help the Guards in defending this great city.

Hello everyone! We at DxxEntertainment would like to apologize for the lack of updates as of recently. We do however have alot of big news to share with you all! The biggest news is the engine change. This change has opened alot of new doors for Veridian and has broken the wall of the limitations we once had. Here is a list of all the new features we have thanks to this engine. >! * Optimization(This engine has very few bugs that we have found and I've tried just about everything.) * Amazing new features to the event system * Working Quest system * Day/night system * Terrain system * Dynamic weather system * Mount system * Projectiles * Fun ranged combat * The allowance to use RPG VX style(Which helps us out so much) * Membership system * And so many other amazing features thanks to Jaxx! In other News Veridian is moving along pretty well. Currently I've been the only one working on it since everyone else is busy with life and other things. Don't fear! I won't stop working on Veridian just bear with me on the updating since I am working on this project on my own and I do have work and a girlfriend so I can be busy. I will try my best to update you guys when I get significant work done. Anyway on to Veridian! I have some pretty awesome(Well I hope you guys will like it) news! With this engine we have been able to get a bounty system in Veridian. This bounty system will work more like the one you see in the Witcher 3\. You will find a bounty board in a town and sometimes there will be bounties other times there might not be. >! 

The winner is(Que dramatic music)… @[member="Hackertatio"] The quest doesn't have to do with a murder because that skeleton has been dead for along time. Basically you walk in and the door locks behind you and you find that the skeleton and it's spirit have been locked in the house due to a curse(The symbols) After breaking the curse the spirit will ask you to put his body back to rest. That's all I'll give away so we don't have to many spoilers haha. Okay So Hackertatio remember when we hit alpha testing to hit me up with a PM on the forums and we will get you you're reward. Thank you everyone who participated! There will be more contests coming up so more opportunities for winners so stay tuned!

@[member="Hackertatio"] Thanks for your support and offering to help us it really does mean alot! @[member="Thomas Slusny"] Haha this is true. Don't worry though I'm really loving this engine and now we are putting custom features into it. Plus I'm with you guys, I'm tired of us starting over. So we have been working hard give you guys the best Veridian we can! @[member="Henrik"] Thanks alot! I really love your mapping as well sometime I look at your game thread when i need some inspiration. I'm glad you like the story as well, that is one of my favorite things about Veridian. **News[5/20/15]** Exciting news today for all you fans of Veridian! Today starts the first contest for Veridian! The winner of this contest will get some nice in-game items once Veridian releases. The contest is to see which of you can guess just by this picture what this quest will be about. If no one gets it then we will go to the closest one to the right answer.  **Prize:** 1000 crystals(Premium currency) In-game Contest winner title **How will you get the items?** Once Veridian is released then on our forums you will send me a pm with your in-game name and your account name on eclipse. Then I will send you your items.

@[member="Hackertatio"] I could but it would ruin that dark grittiness that we are going for. Plus it would be alot of editing with all of our NPC sprites that we have.

@[member="Hackertatio"] I don't think I can do anything to make them stand out anymore. Like i said in-game at least for me I have no problem distinguishing them. If you guys have any suggestions though please let me know and I'll definitely try.

@[member="Hackertatio"] Thank you so much! Like I said before it means alot to hear that you guys like what we are doing. @[member="Gwendalin"] Thank you so much! I hope we can keep doing a good job. I do see what you mean in the screenshot it does seem like they blend. Although in game at least for me it's really easy to distinguish them. Once we get you guys playing then you guys can tell us how it looks. Here is another screenshot for you guys! This is the _Norn Faldir Blacksmith/forgery_  *Note again this map is not finale and the character(s) are place holders*

@[member="Hackertatio"] @[member="JSventoraGD"] @[member="Dungeon Master"] Thank you guys we really appreciate the support! We can't wait until we can start letting you guys play. Since everyone keeps liking the screenshots I'm going to keep posting them :D Here is the local tavern in Norn Faldir:  *Note This map is not finale and the NPCs are just place holders at the moment*

Since you guys liked that screenshot I have another one for you :D Mid day in Norn Faldir  P.S Don't mind the guy named "Some Guy" He is just a place holder.

> If you still doubt me you can contact Artix Entertainment and they can verify we arent using any stolen assets. I have also played Aqworlds for a long time and even though the style is very similar there is definitely a difference even though it's subtle. If what he says is true then there is nothing wrong with what he is doing. I personally like this game it takes me back to when Aqworlds was good. :D

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show you the good news! We now have an awesome Day and Night system in Veridian.  This is a great feature for Veridian as it adds life to the world. Thanks to SkywardRiver! We will also soon be getting even more awesome features! so please stay tuned!

**Update for 4/29/2015** For the past several months we have been working hard in our spare time to create a world with a nearly limitless amount of things for you to do and it starts here with this little announcement! I would like to take a moment to update everyone on the current progress for story related items. I've spent quite a bit of time putting together a series of lore based information on certain factions within the game. Most of them, you, as players will be able to join them and enjoy new pathways for your characters. Players will also stumble across details on other factions that you may or may not be able to join. The names of these two new factions will be released further down the road as we gather a better understanding of how they will fit into our game. The B Team believes in a satisfying gaming experience full of things to do, locations to see, and monsters to slay. That's it for this update! Check back for more details as they develop! -The B Team

> If I might be so bold: > > > > I have always felt this project as a sister project that had always been in a healthy competition with Labyrinth Hearts. The story, mapping, and graphics are up to par with one another. From what I played, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and want to play it again. > > > > > > Glad to see people joining the team. ^_^ No your not being bold at all my friend lol. I also have felt the same way but I like our competition lol as you put it it's a healthy one. I also really like what your doing with Labyrinth Hearts I like to look at what you guys are doing to help inspire me. Thanks alot for being so supportive with Veridian it means a lot to us. Everyone who has been supportive with Veridian we thank you guys because that is what pushes us to make the best game we can make :D We love all of you guys even the critics because they help find things we may have missed and it just helps us make a better game. Thank you everyone!

> I am glad you are working on this again. ^_^ Thank you! I have a feeling Veridian is going to be alot better this time around haha and hopefully this will be the last break so we can finally get it released and stop making you guys wait. :D
