Patch Notes 0.5.0 - Open World

Play now

Greetings, Vikings! After months of hard work and persistence, we have some exciting news to share.

Open World Release

“The biggest news for today is that players are now able to walk around and explore the breathtaking world of Valhalla. The possibilities are endless - meet new characters, search for Veras, explore new places or just enjoy the beautiful scenery.”

Areas

“From sprawling beaches to soaring cliffs, what mysteries can this brand new world unfold? The world of Valhalla contains different areas with distinct looks and feels, including standalone dynamic music and soundscape.”

  • Beaches - open sandy areas that flow into the great sea.
  • Cliffs - majestic (and very steep) elevations with picturesque views.
  • Hillside - vast space, filled with different vegetation and natural formations.
  • Town - bustling settlement of the people in Valhalla, inspired by Viking architecture.

Discover Veras

“Players now have a chance to encounter Veras in the world when wandering around specific places.”

Amulets & Taming

“Introducing amulets - magically-infused items that can tame even the mightiest Vera! Amulets have different types and rarities, each influencing the chance to tame a Vera. Players must carefully choose an amulet to bring to battle, as only one can be used per battle, and failing to tame a Vera might have severe consequences.”

Equipped Veras

“Players can carry multiple Veras while traversing the World. Before a battle starts, the player can choose which one to use.”

Vera Daycare

“A brand new place where players can store additional tamed Veras, until it is their time to shine. Here, players can also re-organize their equipped Veras. The Daycare space is limited, however, it can be expanded as players progress through the adventures of Valhalla.”

Shop

“Players are now able to supply themselves with potent items to aid them in battle for a fair price. Moreover, players can decide to sell unused items and gain some profit.”

Procedural-Generated Playable Characters

“Upon entering the world of Valhalla, players answer a questionnaire to manifest their spirit into a unique playable viking. Any renounced hero needs a distinct look to be remembered by.” Professor “The professor aids the player in discovering new knowledge while studying the mysterious events of the world of Valhalla.”

Incremental updates

As this is the first major release of the open world, we’ve been testing the boundaries of what’s possible on the Web. As such, there might be some hiccups as the world gets inhabited by you, as Vikings. We will be performing a number of incremental updates over the coming days to smoothen out the edges, increase performance and make Valhalla a more lively place. What may seem safe today, might be dangerous tomorrow.. use this exclusive privelege to travel across the ‘revealed’ part of the island.

Known issues

Some issues that have a high chance of occuring while we stretch the limit of the webversion of Valhalla are:

  • Sound performance issues
  • Frame rate drops
  • Crash due to memory (browser specific)
  • Survive under water.

Balancing

Vera level cap: 2

We will be increasing the level cap every 24-48 hours.
