To those who've played Mines of Volantis might have been wondering if this game is dead. The last update was in July last year and I had released updates faily regularly.

After the last summer update the game was very very slow and I made the decision to completely redo the world generation. This took months to complete (with a few hours every weeks), and the end result did not offer anything new in the area of gameplay. With the new world generation, I created the lava caves to give at least something new.

And then, the unexpected happened. I got an offer for a full time game development position! I couldn't be happier, as this is grealy accelerating my experience with creating games.

After working on the job for a while I learned so much I could apply to Mines of Volantis that I took the extra time to apply my new knowledge to the user experience of MoV.

So now I'm finally done with the new build! I hope you enjoy it!
