Here are some of the updates for Crescent Quest 1.6.8.

It's not quite the ten year anniversary yet but we will still make this event a splendid one, come join us in the game and obtain 9th anniversary costumes, consumables, spells, and other items!

It has been a long time since I first started planning out the game in 2014 and releasing prototype versions of it for my friends to enjoy, I know I have mentioned this a few times but the game was not always called "Crescent Quest", there were many names I came up with until I decided on the name it is now. Even though some of the areas, items, and characters are the same the game was quite a bit different, I suppose it was a lot more simple back then. I appreciate all who have walked through the world of Reltionus whether you arrived in it nine years ago or today, thank you all.

Here's some updates, as usual I keep most updates secret for the players.

* Working on adding the "Crescent Quest Radio" item, this is a non-canon item that can be enabled under your key items tab and upon enabling it you may listen to the music of the game and recorded broadcasts from me and my friends, us acting out as characters in the game, as ourselves giving you trivia or even offering you Chyfrinx eggs and other items.

* Added a new kind of ore and log to the game, these can be made into different kinds of equipment and can be mined or chopped at lower experience levels.

* Added classes to the game upon leaving the starting isle of New Lusnayin. I was debating on implementing this for many years now as I think every player starting almost the same is a good thing but I also feel as though if I did add classes to the game it would allow for more variety. Classes do not effect the late game at all, it will only effect the first few hours of the game as each class gives you different tools and a small amount of experience.

* Added bucklers, a new type of shield for those that like to use crossbows or other ranged weapons. As with other ranged armor you won't be able to use melee while wearing it.

* Added combat types to the spells selection, you can choose what experience you prefer receiving more with this setting. These will also increase one or more of your stats.

* Someone new has shown up around the abandoned Keedbalt Factory, he moved some of the fences and is planning to build something there.

* Certain areas now have more detail. I will continue to enhance the look of more towns and cities throughout the game.

* The Christmas event is still going on, I have updated the items you receive from the sleigh during the event and fixed a few more graphical issues on New Cressora. If you experienced a situation where you could not complete the quest at the inn then speak with the new character sitting at one of the tables.

Going to fix up my fursuit slightly to look like my spiritual Therian self more. I'm also going to get a second bodysuit, one that I can show off publicly.

   

Crescent Quest is now available to be played at / in internet cafes and other public spaces. The cafe version of Crescent Quest will be running a few versions behind the standard Steam version unless there is an upcoming holiday event in which case both will be up to date with the latest release so nobody misses out.


The cafe version will contain slight differences in the form of one character named Gaita who will trade you exclusive items which can then be transferred back to the standard version of Crescent Quest through your save file. These cosmetic only items include a Crescent Coffee and the Tea Hat. One is worn in your paw / hand and the other is worn on your head.


If you are the owner of an online cafe, arcade, or another fitting public space with computers where your visitors and or customers are welcomed inside to sit down and play a few games then consider purchasing a Crescent Quest Commercial License here...

Hello, Crescent Knights. Welcome to the introduction of Crescent Quest Mail where you can send in your own questions, ideas, or fan created content to be included in the mail bag. If you would like to submit something then email me at logan@timelierg.com. You can be anonymous or include your username along with the questions, idea, or fan content. By submitting a question, idea, or piece of artwork you agree that you own the rights to said work and also agree to give me the rights to use said work.


It is currently December 3rd 2023, let's read some older questions or ideas that players had before the introduction of Crescent Quest Mail. I will be paraphrasing within the quotes.


* "If I recall, this is a furry game so add an out of the place goblin girl who has her ------- ---- ----- ------- ------ ------ ------- like a two part cape."


~ From Anonymous.


I had to censor some of that there, it's rather... risque. Crescent Quest is indeed partially a furry game, you can play as yourself if you are a furry and use your fursona to truly be your spiritual self, I have been working on adding more variety when it comes to that as the anthro customization mostly just looks like a combination of a wolf and fox currently with no other options for other species such as avians, reptiles, dragons, insects like spiders, and so on. It's not too hard to make, I have my own self in the game as well that's inaccessible to other players, unless someone tries to name themselves after me... Don't get any ideas now!


Moving on to the suggestion, I simply cannot include that sort of sprite in the game! There is an age rating I must follow. However, I have added goblins to the game due to your suggestion, there's even a Christmas event quest with a goblin in it now, all thanks to you. The goblins in question don't have "two part capes" though, as you call them.


* "i thinkus there should be hp bars above the enemies so i know when they are aboutus dyus"


~ From Pongus.


Hello, Pongus. That was in the game at one point but I have since removed it, the HP would sometimes appear on top of the foes sprites. I have always wanted that feature in the game, it was always meant to be there but I never had gotten around to it. I would like players to react based on the amount of health the foe has, it allows them to strategize more and also have those moments where a boss and the player are almost at one percent of their health and they either pull through or lose. I suppose you could memorize the amount of HP a character has, aha. I will see if I can implement health bars again.


* "Will there be more kinds of trees to cut, fish to fish, and rocks to mine eventually?"


~ From Vorneus28


Greetings, Vorneus28. There are already different types of trees and ores I am working on now, so much so that they are already in the game data, I just haven't implemented them yet. There are no new types of fish, however. New species of fish will be added in the future. In a few days one new kind of tree and one new kind of ore will be added, it won't be the best thing to cut or mine and is for lower experience levels. In regards to mining, Crescent Ore will still be the most powerful ore you can mine and smith for a long time.


* "what is the rarest drop in the game and how long would it take to grind for it?"


~ From Mint


Hello there, Mint. I cannot give many details on that as I like keeping secrets out there, but there is an item underneath the Keedbalt Kingdom that is dropped by a certain type of creature. This item has a one in a million chance of being obtained after defeating said creature. Aside from that, as I said before, I would list off more sensible "rarest drops" but I'd rather not. I will let the players such as yourself come to the conclusion on this one.


~ End of the Mail ~


Thank you for your questions, I know it was a very small amount but this will serve as an introduction to the mailbag. Now that everyone knows they can submit mail and have it featured here there is going to be much more to read soon! Have a wonderful Christmas, Crescent Knights.

Here are the update notes for Crescent Quest version 1.6.7.

* Merry, jolly, and holy Christmas! Crescent Knights, will you be joining us after spending time with your friends, family, and soul mate? If you don't have any of those things, the time will come, fret not. This years Christmas event is now active and you can access it in Cressora Town through the usual portal. Speaking of the portal you can access the item distribution and receive a Festive Jolly Pendant, it will be discontinued / unobtainable after the event so make sure to obtain it before the event ends if you desire it!

* Like all prior events, the Christmas event quests, cosmetics, and so from previous years are all returning with a few added touches. How about obtaining a few festive keys and visiting Santa's gift sleigh for a chance at a few rare event items? You can get festive keys from the imps under the ice crystal in the lake on New Cressora after entering the event portal.

* Made the train next to Eirafyl Town accessible in the Keedbalt Station, it will now take you to two new areas. These new areas are for later updates, there's not much to see or do in them yet except explore.


* Fixed an oversight with one of the Christmas wallpapers.


* Added two limited time pets, Festiva the Bunny and Festivo the Rabbit. These will not be discontinued and will be able to be obtained every year around December.

Some santa hats perhaps.

Here are the update notes for Crescent Quest 1.6.6.


* Hello, Crescent Knights. The Halloween event has ended and a new event has started. You can claim two limited time consumable items, the Keedspelt Bread and Bean Stew. When used you can return to the Cressora Town event portal for more until the event is over where they will become unobtainable. While not part of the event you will also be able to obtain the limited time Wolfie Cake from the same event portal.


* Deorliht Shards can now be found after the Deorliht Hilt is discovered, I planned to add these in late 2015 but I didn't get around to it. The shards cannot be used as of now, they are simply a collectable.


* Adjusted the amount of health and energy recovered from certain consumables.


* Smelter Angels have appeared in eastern Wythdire, they bring new equipment and items for those with enough Slaying experience. It's recommended to bring some divine protection.


* Updated the sprites of certain equipment such as boots, leggings, pendants, and more.


* Fixed multiple issues with the new player house feature.

Here are the update notes for Crescent Quest 1.6.5.


~ 11/5/2023 ~


* The Winter Tribunal is here, an expansion to Crescent Quest. You can find a new guild of frozen warriors who have a bone to pick with frost covered creatures from a region with a colder climate, even colder than that of Keedbalt! If you decide to join this guild you cannot go back on your oath, these frozen warriors are all about loyalty and seeing it through to the Spiritual Realm. Speaking of which, there have been recent rumors of a great, scaled creature flying through the skies of Keedbalt to the north east, if you were to run into that your deal with the new guild in town may just be over!


* The guild known as The Winter Tribunal can be found in the ruins above Malatirgus Town, upon joining you will endure many hardships, your Crescent Rank experience obtained after combat will be decreased, foes will be much more difficult to overcome, and on top of it all you cannot leave! But, stay strong and you will have access to a new region, new equipment, new titles, new cosmetics, and more. Once you are in the guild you will be given the "Winter Tribunal" title, and if you are in Henodran Mode then you will obtain an additional title known as the "Henodran Tribunal".


* Player houses are here, add furniture and decorations to your house! The entrance to the home is in the Keedbalt ruins above the town of Malatirgus within the portal. There are a few things you can add to your home currently such as a food table, a bed, a jukebox, a bookshelf, two flag poles for unlockable flags, and more. To access the home you must speak with the Ulfuronian within the house next to the portal. You might notice a few inaccessible rooms inside of the house within the portal, those are for later!


* The Halloween event will be extended further into November 2023, this is for all of the new Crescent Knights to obtain the soon to be discontinued Spitehound Ears. Speaking of which, I will make those into a wearable cosmetic costume (Cilvisage Emblem) within another update. Make sure you obtain a few other Halloween items and quest completions before they are gone as well, you unlock certain things outside of the event for doing so! Two of these things are for the new player house.


* New Lusnayin has been updated, for those that don't want to leave the tutorial isle you will have a better time living there! Speaking of New Lusnayin Isle, I wonder if there is a way to return there...?


* A draconic egg is appearing for a limited time from 11/11/2023 - 11/23/2023 in the world of Crescent Quest, it can be obtained from the event portal in Cressora Town. This is the first Chyfrinx distribution as well as the first Chyfrinx to have a particle effect! I wonder if there's a chance for something to happen while obtaining this egg through the distribution... obtain this Chyfrinx Egg before it becomes discontinued for good! 


* More on Chyfrinx Eggs, I have graphically updated them as well as changed how they work slightly, instead of losing the eggs after hatching them you will still have a copy of the egg meaning you can keep withdrawing whichever Chyfrinx you have instead of losing it after releasing them.


* A fix has been made regarding the Ancient Knight equipment, if you were lucky enough to receive and use this armor but unlucky enough for it to break then it would cause a game breaking issue to occur. I don't think any player has obtained any of these four armor sets so it's all fine. Speaking of equipment, a lot more has been added to the game.
