Enarian - large update release details (An ARPG Style MUD)

A couple of months ago I opened up Enarian to players and the feedback, help and support has been fantastic.

That feedback has lead to a vast array of changes and improvements across the game.

The game now boasts all new Windows and Android custom clients featuring:

• All new design, layouts, and other UI improvements.
• Menu based shortcuts to commonly used commands, including key-bound shortcuts in the windows app.
• A full orchestral score soundtrack, ambient tracks and a range of sfx for everything from combat to gambling.
  • Check out the full score here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNhHqVXthP8&list=PLPksaj3qQc2CARcCu52zWm5pg78AWO1xe&index=2
• Visual introductions to the boss fights in the form of cinematic videos.
  • Check out the examples on the Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/IZ_YLy8g8xk
• Menu based inventory management allowing you to click on or mouse over items to see their details, use quick buttons for commands such as pickup, equip, compare etc.

Download the clients from the website:

For those who need to use a third-party client, the game now automatically strips out all the custom elements allowing the use of a large majority of clients, Fado is currently the only exception as I still cant get it to work properly.

Connection details:
212.159.186.174

I also added commands for those using screen readers.

• hp - current and max hp.
• mn - current and max mana.
• scan - see what's in all the surrounding rooms.
• tnl - exp to next level.

Stability issues, and countless bugs have been squashed.
Multiple balancing passes.

• Ironheart +25% Physical Damage, −35% Physical Damage Taken
• Stormfury +25% AoE Damage, Immune to AoE Damage

Significantly expanded on the help and guidance elements of the game.

So for any that tried it before and ran into problems, or those who missed it, now is the perfect time to jump in and give it a go.

Here is a brief run down on the game itself:
Introduction:

Dive into a rich, text-based ARPG MUD experience that fuses classic adventure mechanics with modern action-packed gameplay. Inspired by legends like Diablo and Path of Exile, Enarian’s world is ever-changing, ensuring that every expedition is a new challenge. Whether you’re a veteran of text-based MUDs or a newcomer eager for a dynamic adventure.

About the game:

In Enarian Online, you find yourself rudely torn from your own realm and dumped unceremoniously into a camp occupied by the few other survivors who have also been left here to fend for themselves. To escape you will need to recover your lost strength and explore the shattered realms via the portal. These fragments are procedurally generated—from landscapes to the monsters that roam them—offering a unique experience every time you play. Enjoy familiar commands with exciting twists that evolve traditional MUD mechanics by integrating modern ARPG features.

Features:

• Blend of auto casting and manual casting spells and abilities.
• Endless loot including equipment sets, and truly unique items.
• Group with up to 3 other players for a greater challenge and rewards.
• Find scrolls to unlock over a hundred different abilities.
• Rescue pets that will accompany you on your adventures.
• Reforge your items using runes to empower them.
• Gamble in the bar for new items or gold.
• Take on powerful bosses.
• Trade with other players.
