Age of Failon – A Major Development Update
It has been a while since the last update here on Steam, but development of Age of Failon: Birth of the Hero certainly hasn’t stopped.Quite the opposite.Over the past months, the game has gone through some of the largest changes since development began. Several core systems have been rebuilt, the visual direction has changed significantly, and Age of Failon is now much closer to the game I originally wanted to create.With the next stage of development approaching, this is a good time to look at what has changed.🌍 A Completely Rebuilt WorldOne of the most visible changes is the world itself.The original version made the underlying square grid very visible. While the grid still exists and remains fundamental to movement, exploration and gameplay calculations, it no longer defines how the world looks.Terrain is now rendered using shaders, while forests, mountains, decorations, resources, roads and neutral locations have all been reworked.The result is a much more natural top-down fantasy world while keeping the deterministic grid-based gameplay underneath.🗺️ One Journey Across 357 MapsThe progression system has been fundamentally redesigned.Instead of treating maps as mostly isolated scenarios, Age of Failon now follows one persistent journey across 357 campaign maps.Your hero, army and castle continue developing throughout the campaign.Traditional weekly unit growth has been replaced by a progression economy built around rewards earned through exploration, objectives and battles.Unit Cards increase the units available to your army, Building Points allow your castle to develop, while additional rewards advance your hero, skills and spells.Age of Failon uses cards as a progression resource — it is not a deckbuilding game.⚔️ Maps Now Have ObjectivesExploration is no longer simply about clearing everything on the map.Campaign maps contain objectives that determine how the scenario develops.You may be asked to defeat enemy armies, capture or destroy guarded locations, coll...Read full article on Community Announcements (milos.tutko)AnnouncementsOfficial

We’ve introduced custom-forged iron textures, mystical violet glows, and a completely new layout for our core screens.Check out the transformation below:⚔️ Main Menu OverhaulThe first thing you see when entering the game now sets the stage for an epic journey. We replaced the earthy tones with an ethereal purple mountainscape and redesigned the buttons to feel "hand-crafted." 🧙 Create Your LegendThe Hero Creation screen is now much more intuitive. We’ve added custom icons for all attributes and a layout that focuses on your character’s journey.🛡️ Select Your HeroThe selection screen has been revamped to show off your hero's progress and stats with new runic borders and a darker, more cohesive look.What else is new?New Icons: Hand-crafted symbols for Attack, Defense, Intellect, and more.Improved Typography: Better readability across all resolutions.Atmospheric Effects: Subtle fog and magical glows integrated directly into the UI.This is just one step on our road to a final release, but it’s a big one for the overall feel of the game.
