Public Alpha v0.1

Given that games are meant to be played, it seems to be of paradigm importance that they are distributed to as many people as possible.  That is one of the reasons why we have and will always be creating Days of Ragnarok for the public to enjoy.

Though those who support the project directly are provided key input into how the game is developed, along with early access to its content and various versions, the full game will be freely distributed after each period of early access -- without restriction.

Since we are releasing v0.4 in the upcoming weeks, we are now making v0.1 public.

Public Alpha v0.1

The game should run on Linux, Windows, and Apple computers.

We hope you enjoy it :)

All the Best,


The Days of Ragnarok Team

The Running Animation

One of the things that we noticed about the early alphas of the game was that Sigrid's movement wasn't as quick as we would like for it to be.  Though it was nice to have the opportunity to enjoy LadyStripes' beautiful background imagery, Sigrid's firm walk left something to be desired.

Thus, we decided to create a Run Animation.

Though not incredibly fast, it certainly helps her get from place to place much more expediently than her walk -- or for that matter, her battle walk.

We hope you like it!

The New Status UI

The last of the four UIs to be updated was Sigrid's status user interface.  As with before, the top section of the interface shows more short-term stats, such as her health and fertility.  The bottom section focuses on the longer-term stats, such as her strength and agility.

The New Journal UI

The updated Journal UI really reminds us of Myst -- though we promise that it's not nearly as confusing!

The New Equipment UI

Along with the map, we also updated the equipment / pack user interface, which looks a lot nicer now.

Note that the preview of Sigrid's current armour goes on the left, along with her armour and weapon slots, while her items sit in the right slots. Her available currency is shown on the bottom left.

The New Map UI

Though the map was an excellent UI for the purposes of our early development, we took the opportunity between Alpha v0.1 and v0.2 to update the entire user interface to match with the new look that LadyStripes came up with for the Ragnopaedia.

Here's what the new map looks like!

The New Ingrid

Given that we went to so much effort to re-work Sigrid, we thought it would be a good idea to touch up Ingrid as well.

Ingrid is, as you all know, a famous shield-maiden and Sigrid's mother.  Her husband, Sigrid's father, is a smith, and she also has another daughter and two sons.  Though it's been many years since she fought in any major battles, her fighting spirit is still strong, and she's just as brash as ever...
