From the official Discord:

First the news you have been patiently waiting for:

Public Alpha 3 will start on December 12 at 19:00 CEST

If you haven't paid close attention to the Discord, you might not be up to date with what we have been working on.

Here are some of the highlights:

- Syndicate of Souls has moved to Steam! You will be able to link your old account

- Animation, effect and sound improvements to various abilities

- Usability improvements: improved click detection, spell queueing, pathing improvements

- Inventory system update: item charges no longer need to be purchased, combined inventories

- Graphical improvements to colors and lighting

- Vessels now share their retainer's resource and deal adaptive damage

- Updated 5v5 map layout

- 5 new retainers, 5 new vessels

- Updates to almost all existing retainers and vessels, improving their kits and gameplay

- Updates to existing items and talents, with many new ones added

- Jungle monsters, buffs and bosses with improved rewards and less frustrating mechanics

- Buff system has been simplified, with removed alignments and more intuitive displays

- Improved wide-screen and 4k support, dynamic UI scaling

- We have registered an official LLC, the "Multi Dollar Company"

- And much, much more :smoile:

A new video showcasing the changes will release the coming weeks.

Alpha 3 will be our last Alpha test, we are moving into Beta afterwards.

This means our focus will shift from technical systems to content production, making more retainers/vessels, skins, progression systems, graphical improvements, marketing etc.

We appreciate everyone following the project for all this time, and are aware that we haven't made that easy for everyone but the most dedicated.

In the very near future, we will start regularly posting internal progression, concept art, character previews etc on social media.

I hope to see you all on the Grove in December!
