   Features
   This is Driftmoon. It is a roleplaying game that tells the story of the Pendant of Life, and how it was reforged to end the evil reign of King Ixal. It is also a tale about how Robert lost everything but his bones, but that didn't stop him. And it is a story about the little firefly who wanted to be a big star, but was stuck in a crypt.

   The world of Driftmoon is filled with exciting adventures and exploration, captivating stories and quests, charming characters and countless delightful details for you to discover.

   The Legend - There were still some who remembered, some who believed. Most of Driftmoon had once fallen into terrible slavery and despair, but the memories of those days had almost faded away. You knew nothing of the Dark King Ixal, or of your family's mysterious past, but you were soon about to find out...
   Adventure - Experience a grand adventure and many fascinating quests, as you strive to unite the forces of good, and fight the dark powers threatening to enslave the whole of Driftmoon.
   Enchanting world - The world of Driftmoon is filled with personality, wit and goodwill! Explore the dungeons, wilderness and villages of Driftmoon: You'll discover hidden places, treasures, quirky characters, quests, puzzles, unique magical items, secret doors, artifacts, and more.
   Friends & Foes - Fight the forces of evil and meet charismatic and personal creatures, some of which may accompany you on your quest. The inhabitants of Driftmoon have distinct personalities, histories, humour, and abilities.
   Character Development - Learn many impressive and powerful skills: Your choices will affect your possibilities, when facing foes or travelling the world.
   Rich Soundscape - Carefully constructed sound effects, and atmospheric background ambience. Including a memorable and melodic soundtrack by the talented Gareth Meek.
   Powerful Editor Included - Driftmoon comes with the full editor tools used to create the game, and the possibility to play mods created by other users. The editor includes an easy scripting language, animation tools, and a great level editor with numerous other possibilities!

   I definitely want to check this out once I get caught up with all my other unfinished
   chores.{:}

   some comments to whet your appetite:

   “I couldn't wait any longer. It's an amazing game.”
   -skavenhorde
   “I pre-ordered yesterday after seeing this vid, and my Level 8 character is currently hacking monsters to bits with my trusty Hoe of Doom. For a game that is supposedly in alpha, it’s extremely polished. I’m impressed. It’s been great fun so far, and I highly recommend it.”
   -KilgoreTrout_XL
   “AWESOME = My description”
   -reaver894
   “Started playing, and I really liked it. Nicely done, the dialogues are not too long, the story is interesting and there are quite a few things I missed the first time playing it, just because I was too hasty. (and you did read a lot of terry pratchett books imho… )”
   -manu
   “I freakin’ love this topdown camera style. Reminds me of 90s titles like Blood Omen. Sniff.”
   -BathroomCitizen
   “Just bought the game and finished, let me just say I loved it.”
   -figalot
   “This looks great. I actually quite like the top-down perspective – the graphics style is strong and clear, and I think the perspective will make interacting with mouse much easier. No need to rotate the camera to select obscured objects.”
   -peanut
   “The quests/puzzles are fun, plenty to explore and find…”
   -Ash360
   “Driftmoon has intelligent and complex Gameplay-Mechanisms. But above all it has Atmosphere.”
   -zappaghost
   “Driftmoon is a very cool game and it reminds me of a little bit of Baldur's Gate 2.”
   -Death Knight

   Nice one Txgoogoo. :)

   We've posted some of the freeware games that this developer has created previously (eg Notrium and Wazzal). It may be a good idea to post all of the free games as they are all top quality. Will pre-order this game once I've recovered from the Christmas spending. The game looks excellent.

   I'd forgotten about this new game. Remember reading about it when I first visited their site some time ago now. It's definitely one to consider purchasing.

   A number of updates and screenshots this past week at their website.. Following is a blurb from rpgwatch.

   Instant Kingdom let us know they have released a new Alpha for their upcoming indie cRPG, Driftmoon. Here's the statement they sent over:

   Get ready for Driftmoon Alpha 7! Half a year in the making, it's now ready for our preorderers. If you haven't preordered yet, you can still get your copy for 20% off, and at the same time show us your support! [Smile] If you'd rather wait until Driftmoon is ready, why not sign up to be notified when the game is released?

   We nearly completed all of the new areas last August. But when testing the whole game through back then, we discovered some areas of the game-play and the content, that we wanted to tune a bit further to make them just right. It was a relatively large and time-consuming task, but now that we've spent the last two weeks playing and replaying, we're really happy we decided to do it. Why? Simply because we ourselves have now had so much fun with our own beta-testing play-throughs. And if we've really enjoyed adventuring in Driftmoon ourselves (even though we know beforehand pretty much everything that'll happen), we have high hopes that you will too! [Smile]

   Next on our plate is to release a new trailer with some of the new features and areas, and a demo! After that we'll retreat to our secret chambers to make the final areas of the game. We'll release one more alpha version before the final release, so Driftmoon is not far from being completed!

   PS. If you've got the previous alpha version, you should be able to update to the new alpha just by starting the game. We hope you can still give us plenty of feedback on where to improve the game, so don't hesitate to use the feedback button in the lower right corner of the game! [Smile]

   Among the hundreds of new things in this version, we have two new large areas (and another smaller area), a murder mystery, new enemy types, boss fights, tons of new quests, and as a whole a much more polished experience. To put it plain, there's a lot more to play, and the bits we already had, we've made better. See the changelog for more details.

   New areas: Monastery and Crypt, along with a mystery of treason, murder and theft! The quests and the many characters you can meet and chat with are the part we've spent most of our time with, but unfortunately we cannot tell you much about them without giving away too much.

   New companions: Velvet the Queen Panther, Stone Dwarf, Stone Giant and Stone Titan. The stone-faced guy is a summon you gain early on, and it keeps getting more powerful (and bigger) as you progress.

   Combat enhancements:
   We worked on making new enemy types and enhancing our existing ones for weeks. We made sure each enemy type adds to the combat in unique ways, making each fight different depending on what kinds of monsters are involved. You can even use the enemies against each other! We also have critical hits, new combat skills, a system for mana, the list goes on. The screens show only a small portion of the new creatures we've created. I'll tell you more about them in another post.

   he first, official Driftmoon demo has just been released! If you've been waiting to see how you like the gameplay, here's your chance!

   The long demo comes with our powerful editor & mod-sharing system, along with all of the currently released mods. The current full alpha already includes about 5-10 hours of quality playtime, and more is certainly coming! The rest of the adventure will be finished in the following few months.

   The first review of Driftmoon (based on the previous alpha version) gives the game a 9/10:
   "The game delivers an eye-opening amount of classic dialogue quips and addicting gameplay in order to get this train up, over, and into the hearts of players."
   Read the full preview at LazyAssGamer

   So, if you haven't preordered yet, now is your chance to download the Driftmoon demo, and embark on a good-hearted and unique adventure, quite unlike any other RPG you've played before.

   Update 0.835
   26.02.2012

   In memory of my old canine friend, we've added Belinda the Wolf Mother to Northrop. Be kind to her. Another highlight from the new version is that you can now configure the keys used in the game. Using the keyboard is of course optional in Driftmoon, you can fully play Driftmoon with just your mouse hand (and I know of a few Driftmoon players who actually don't have the use of both hands). But this might help you if you're used to having the inventory open with the caps lock for instance.

   Also we've tackled a few cheaters who have been escaping to other maps and even to the world map to escape fights. Others have been fooling our poor shopkeepers by buying cheap ingredients, then using the blueprints to make new items which can be sold back at a profit! Actually I find that highly amusing, but the item prices have been tuned all the same. Driftmoon is not a trade simulator!

   Game Changelog
   Added Belinda the Wolf Mother to Northrop.
   Keys are now configurable! You can also use the key bindings screen to see the current keys. The tutorial messages don't reflect your configured keys just yet.
   Saving to an empty slot no longer warns that the slot is in use.
   Fawn couldn't die on the harder difficulty levels, fixed.
   You can no longer drag objects through spider webs.
   Can no longer escape to the world map when player is engaged in combat.
   Prices of all craftable items and ingredients have been balanced, now the crafted result should be about as valuable as the ingredients.
   Feagle has received more training (and should therefore arrive on time more often than before)!
   Advanced and Master level of Blades now work properly, and the Blades don't prevent quick travel anymore.
   The labyrinth switches now look like they mean business.
   Light effects on rocks look much better.
   Fixed visual glitches that appeared with rocks.

   Modding Changelog
   Killbot action now works properly on harder difficulty levels.
   Scripts referring to actor 0 now helpfully tell that actor 0 is the player.
   Actions openWorldMap and changeMap now default to not allowing moving to new maps when the player is under attack.
   You can now double click to select a script action or condition from a list.
   Reduced size of levels files by up to 60%.
   Race variable imitateHostAttackTarget allows you to set whether the player's followers imitate the player's attack targets.
   Fixed error with givePlayerItem specified slot being ignored.

   Driftmoon - New Alpha
   by Dhruin, 03:32

   Instant Kingdom sends word of a new Alpha for Driftmoon that features a major new area:

   The new Driftmoon alpha is now downloadable! If you haven't preordered yet, this is a great time to support the development of a unique indie roleplaying game! If you'd rather wait until Driftmoon is ready, you can always sign up to be notified when the game is released.

   Welcome to Nomon Docks! Nomon is the new major area available with the new version, where you will find the Steam Whale Company. You get to meet Sarah, Seria, and many others, including Eelie the incredibly shy Zap-Eel. My own favourite is Captain Catdog, who is always ready with a new exclamation. Skinny sumowhales! Loopy lowlife Lobsters! Just watch out when he sneezes.

   So if you haven't tried Driftmoon yet, try out our long, free demo!

   If you've already played through the previous alpha, you can load your last saved game, and head straight on to Nomon Docks. But if you definitely want to catch every new little thing in the beginning of the adventure (and make sure your character is developed to the max), you're naturally free to start from the beginning as well.

   Hi!

   You've ordered the indie RPG Driftmoon newsletter, and we have some good news to share with you! The new alpha version of Driftmoon, "The Lost Island", is now available at the Driftmoon website,
   http://www.instantkingdom.com

   The new version of Driftmoon comes packed with the brand new playable area of Eione, as well as Nomon Docks, which was announced at our website earlier (not to mention all the previously available content). Driftmoon is now nearly complete! The current full alpha includes hours and hours of fun-filled adventure time, with the last chapter of the story coming soon. The long Driftmoon demo, our powerful editor, and all the cool mods our modders have come up with, are freely available to everyone!

   If you've already preordered (or have just tried the demo), now is an excellent time to tell all your friends about it. We greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word, so thank you in advance! :) And if you think of anything you want to share with us while playing, we're always happy to receive your feedback through the in-game feedback button.

   So what is Driftmoon like? Well, we've been told it's loads of fun: Our players have described Driftmoon as an enjoyable, refreshing, good-hearted and brilliant game, with awesome gameplay, good humor, and a unique, charming atmosphere. Now that's enought to leave us not only smiling and motivated, but also blushing. :) So (unless you're in the middle of wrestling with an alligator or piloting an aeroplane), you can download & start playing Driftmoon this instant! Once you finish the long, free demo, it's easy to continue the adventure right where you left off. So head on to the world of Driftmoon, and immerse yourself on a refreshingly quirky adventure, which will surprise you, and leave you smiling!

   Ps. This could be your final chance to get the discount code embedded in the demo. ;)

   Hope you have fun playing!
