That video is now done, and you can watch it on Youtube or right here below!

So without further ado, for your enjoyment, here is Your Questions Answered! I want to wish you a very good weekend and thank every one of you who submitted questions for me to sift through, it's very much appreciated.

Thank You!Mar 1, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDear Traveller, Happy Friday! Hope you're all doing well. Combat in Book of Travels is one of those things that currently does not function the way we want it to and that's why we've been working on a complete overhaul of the system. As you may remember, we recently announced that our new combat system is available for testing on a preview build of the game. We're very thankful for every single one of you who took time out of your day to try it out and provide us with invaluable feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35811177/4f2332aa7af9ae25a52c48419190b5d8154a355b.jpg Very soon we'll be ready to implement the new combat system into the regular production build of the game, so you won't have to wait much longer. You'll hear from us again when it's time, with more information - but today I wanted to give you a sample of things that have been changed or improved in combat as a direct result of your feedback specifically. You will be able to see your allies' and enemies' stats while in combat Targetting is easier to do, and easier to visually follow Health has been reworked to synchronize better with other combat features The defense skill is longer in duration More feedback when making actions in combat So, once again, thank you! This right here is yet another example of proof that your time spent in the game and your communication with us leads to the betterment of Book of Travels. We appreciate you! Until next time, Traveller, have a great weekend. Personally I'm off to play some more of a certain new Japanese RPG and see the new sand worm movie.

Firstly, we've added an extra EU region based in Ireland - so we now have EU West and EU Central servers. This update also includes new game content on top of the usual fixes and changes. The hollowed out caves on the southern beaches once held a rich bounty of alken ore. Now they provide occasional shelter for fisherfolk seeking to escape from the outside rain. A Khelim with an interest in rare fish may find value in the stories told by the experienced fishers huddling around their campfire. Updated the char smith apprentices event Added ambience to new room areas Fixed a bug where a player could recieve unlimited porcelain buckles after defeating the bug battling kids Updated the visuals of the "Bug catcher's net" and fixed the availability of the "Bear toad" Added the "Huddling Fishers" event + A Sleeping Warden to new rooms Fixing camera zoom in Outhouse, Bat Saha Added two new events to the rooms in Crossings Fixed wrong trade value being shown when the value should be 0 Fixed wrong keybind showing while hovering the skillbook icon Happy Holidays + "Play Together" TrailerDec 22, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDear Traveller, Might and Delight would like to wholeheartedly wish you all a very happy holidays, with lots of cosy quality time with friends, family and (obviously) terrific games. This is our last community post of the year as the studio will close down for the holidays and we will take some time to recharge. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35811177/de49d0e689b4e1419b81b959f252fadd18a54618.jpg We're grateful for the support and enthusiasm that you've shown us this year. We're also proud of the work we've done in 2023, with tons of fixes and changes, new exciting content and fresh features added to Book of Travels. Our overhauled combat system is currently in preview being tested both internally and by some of you, and next year we're looking forward to incorporating it in the production build of the game so that all of you can try your hand at being a successful duelist in Braided Shore. We're making good progress to our goal of reaching version 1.0 and thus leaving Early Access. And beyond that we have some cool announcements to make, but today is not the day for that. The point is - 2024 looks promising, and we can't wait to clue you in as soon as we're ready. In the meantime you can take a look at our new trailer titled "Play Together". It's short and sweet. Share it with your friends! That's all for today - and for 2023. Pardon us for sounding like a broken record, but again - we're very grateful to have such a wholesome community. Keep playing and keep sharing your screenshots, your own art crafts and stories with us. They give us life. Until next time Traveller - may your tea never grow cold. Best wishes, Oliver & the team at Might and DelightLive Update 0.45.3 Change ListDec 12, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsNote: As we look further ahead we are solidifying our localization plans. Part of this will include rolling out new server regions, the first of which will be an additional EU server in the coming weeks. This release introduces three new rooms, two new questlines, and a variety of other updates and bug fixes. In Crossings there are two new rooms: the top floor of the Teahouse and the top floor of the Smith’s house on the eastern side of the town square. In The Jade Urn, there is one new room that can be found along the western edge of the level. A group of children playing a certain game have moved into the upper part of the Kasa Cistern. An opportunity for an enterprising Khelim to win a prize perhaps? The Kasa Cistern holds much more than just the refuse of the city above. Those dwelling in the sewers sometimes get their hands on artifacts that the shore above thought long lost to time. Updates Added the Bug catching and Talzyre questlines Added new item icons Added ambience sounds to new rooms NPC ghosts now have proper ghost materials Endeavours unlocking will now be player bound (you can still do them together with other players if you interact at the same time) Sefra Shrines & Haunted Gravestones are now player bound. There is a one-time use with 30 minutes cooldown Random endeavours (i.e. lockboxes, tangled plants, mechanical parts etc.) will now start their despawn when any player engages with a 30 minute despawn timer Visual changes to gambling Sefra in Little Slip. New animation and materials Created a post profile for 4k monitors Changed Passage rules slightly Implemented new food props Added five new edible bugs Fixes Fixed targeting issues when using skills/knots on NPCs and players Fixed issue of camera zooming out when entering rooms Fixed an error caused by a blacksmith sound Fixed a bug where the hud wouldn’t show up properly if the hud was toggled while using a skill Fixed issues of player icons appearing on unknown maps and disappearing from the regular maps Fixed issues of writing in the journal/notes that would make hotkeys react to the player Fixed issue of teleporting to wrong entrance when transitioning to another level Fixed overall endeavour instability issues Fixed some Passage UI issues Fixed issue of map pin not saving if open when exiting the atlas Fixed issue where skills were not saving time equipped correctly; these skills should no longer lose a level on log out Typo fixes Combat System Overhaul - We Want Your Feedback!Dec 5, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHello Traveller, For the past several months, we've been hard at work updating and remaking the combat system. Our goal is to create a new system that is scalable, and where we can easily introduce new types of enemies, weapons, skills, and add new multiplayer features. We now have a version of this system ready to test, and we want your input. While we're hard at work behind the scenes finalizing UI, animations, sound and VFX, we want your input on the system itself. The new combat system is up on the Preview branch of Book of Travels. You can access it by doing the following: Right-click on Book of Travels in Steam. Open ‘Properties’. Go to ‘Betas’. Enter the code: ThereBeDragons Press the button that appears, ‘Opt into: preview - Feature and tech previews’. Let the game update. You can switch the branch from the same menu at any time, using the drop down at the top of the Betas menu. Once you have tested the version, we would be delighted if you could fill out our survey regarding the combat system: Click here to get to the survey! Note: We will start off with 5 rooms with 8 preview seats each, making it 40 seats total. This may change this as we go: most likely is that we will increase this number, as we want to do stress tests. But depending on the results of these stress tests, it's not out of the question that we will decrease that number as well. Also note that these preview rooms are only available on the EU server. With that out of the way, here is an overview of how the new Combat system works! The new combat system The new system is currently in an Alpha state and contains both temporary and missing certain UI, UX, sound, animations and VFX. Please approach the system with this in mind. Below is a screenshot of a combat scenario. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35811177/4f2332aa7af9ae25a52c48419190b5d8154a355b.jpg Do note that the HUD is a draft and will change in both presentation and placement. Starting Combat To start a combat scenario, you first need to equip a weapon. You can find one in your inventory, alongside some sets of equipment so you can try out combat with differing stats. You also get access to the skills ‘Weapon Proficiency’ and ‘Armor Proficiency’. Besides a weapon, you need to find one or more NPCs that can fight. Players or hostile NPCs can initiate a combat scenario. When an enemy is within range, a player can initiate combat by using the Battle Stance skill. This will activate a Tension meter at the bottom of the screen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35811177/bf31a8fc9e5cb16f9f887049792265d2d9f59249.gif Starting combat and the Tension meter. The Tension meter is the same for all combatants, and its the “grace time” you get before combat starts. When its full, combat begins. If you run out of the red circle before the tension meter is full, you do not enter combat. When the meter is full, combatants will jump to their positions, and then combat begins.

We hope that you're enjoying your autumn season and are playing lots of good games. How is it going on our end, I hear you ask? Well, we’re making good progress on Book of Travels and are hitting a new milestone very soon! This month marks our second anniversary since we launched the game into Early Access on Steam, and we have some exciting news to share with you today. In celebration of this anniversary, today we’re releasing the biggest content update of the year for Book of Travels. Firstly, we have 15 new achievements for you to work towards as well as 8 new events that will lead you to new areas and introduce you to new characters and merchants. Amongst these new areas are the update’s 5 new locations; the Cistern, Knalla Tunnel, a mysterious shipwreck, a dark outhouse and the Siram Watchtower. You’ll also find several new items that will aid you on your journey in Braided Shore. Another exciting ingredient to this update, which we think lines up perfectly with the Halloween season, is the reintroduction of death in Book of Travels. Braided Shore is a place of magic and spirits. Here, death doesn’t have to be permanent. If you find yourself slain by bandits, or poisoned by blowfish, your spirit will not find rest. Instead, you will traverse the realm beyond death, and search for the passage back. You took a risk and gambled with your life - now, you may risk it all to return from beyond the grave. There’s also a reward for fans who venture out to Traveller’s Meadow, where (for a limited time of two weeks) there will be an encounter that upon completion gives you a flower crown. It’s made from the petals of the flowers found in Traveller’s Meadow, which fans will remember was covered with one flower for every individual Kickstarter backer - so we consider it very special. This anniversary marks a milestone, as we’re now moving ahead with a steady release cycle of new content - moving closer to exiting Early Access and entering 1.0 release. Our focus is on expanding the game world with new locations, encounters and storylines, while we, in parallel, work on polishing old features, as well as introduce completely new game mechanics. Our goal during this time is to realise the full vision of the game, and make sure that every core feature of the original design is represented. The team and I think you’ll enjoy what we have to offer with this update but we’re not done yet, as there are things still on the horizon to look forward to. We’ve mentioned previously that we are actively working on redesigning combat, and soon we will have something to show for our hard work. Within a few weeks time, we will publish a Preview of combat, separate from the main game. With this, you will be able to test the system itself. It will still have placeholder UI, UX, audio and animations, and you will be limited to only using a sword for the time being. Over time, we will update the preview with more com...Live Update 0.42.1 Change ListOct 23, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsFixes Fixed issues of loot/reagents being inconsistent to click on Fixing a bug with point lights not affecting player Fixed dark sprite and prop fade issue of the the fishmonger’s house in Myr Fixed a bug that caused characters to become nauseous when they caught a fish using soil worms Fixed issue that caused some characters to not load Fix to some small footstep sounds Changes Added setting to mute audio when the game window is not in focus Added additional functionality to fishing areas based on the weather and time of day.

Since our last community update, our team has expanded quite a bit, and we have been hard at work on many different parts of the game. As you all know, there have been technical challenges for us to overcome, and we’re slowly but steadily reaching a point where our work is not just happening on a systems and tools level that is mostly out of sight to our players, but where we can actively put out new gameplay content, and expand the world of Braided Shore. We are now at a point where we have a wonderfully diverse team of engineers, artists, writers, user experience, level and audio designers, and this has enabled us to work on many features and events in parallel. For now, we will focus on the work that’s been done in recent months, but know that you’ll get to know more members of our team soon! We have put a lot of work into our backend, development tools, and improving the game performance overall. This work has enabled us to finally inch our way to opening the gates to not only Kasa, but other new areas in Braided Shore as well. Right this moment, there are ways to sneak into the locked city, and as the mysteries of Kasa develop, you will find new stories to pursue, and new areas to explore. There are both technical and narrative reasons as to why we’re rolling out the city in these “chapters”, but we’re confident that the slow burn will be worth it, and we hope that you’ll find the new adventures rewarding. Before we get into some of the other features being worked on, we have a note from the narrative team: Greetings from the scholars of Braided Shore! Kasa is a city with a long history. With parts stretching beyond even the Asken Folk’s arrival on Braided Shore. Even though parts of its history happened many ages ago, it can still be felt in her inhabitants and current events. A dire incident has recently closed down the city, and has impacted not just the ones stuck outside, but also the ones trapped within the city walls. With the helpful recent addition of a new Quest and Flag system, we now have a lot more tools to work with in order to design more reactive, varied and branching events. With these new tools we have been hard at work, writing and designing events and quests for the recent addition of Kasa and beyond! Just the Old Town district of Kasa has currently surpassed the Event count of the town of Crossings, with more being worked on and added in coming updates. It may take many trips into the locked city to uncover all her secrets and lore. Expect to meet Moonsoakers, Alley Grocers, Visiting Historians and more. Other parts of Braided Shore have also received new events with new items, along with updates to older ones. A Mystical Gravedigger, an Old Travelling Smith and a Fall Gem Searcher are just a few of the additions and updates to the outside. To complement the new fishing update that we rolled out a little bit ago, we have also included 20 new fish and fishable creatures to the waters around Braided Shore...
