Aveyond 2.0 Released!
Just in time for a fun weekend of adventuring: the top-selling indie Roleplaying Game, Aveyond, has a new version.

Amanda sent me the latest built last night, and pretty much killed my productivity for the evening.

A lot has changed - many of the suggestions by players over the last six months have been added to this new version, as well as some bug fixes. Besides improved graphics with tighter art direction, there are new and modified maps, new items, new and expanded quests, in-game hints and tips to help new players get started, and enhanced functionality. One thing I noticed immediately (besides the new title graphics) is that in the lower left-hand corner you are now told what area you are in, and how much gold you have. Both are very handy little tools to have access to.

Unfortunately, the downside is that saved games and the "goodies" from the first version won't work. This is to be expected with all the quest changes. But if you aren't far along in the game yet, it may be worth your while to start a new game with version 2.0.

If you've already purchased the older version, this new one is a free upgrade.

I also HIGHLY recommend downloading the free music pack to go with the game. The higher-quality music just sounds MUCH better.
