I’ve been following Hero’s Journey for some time, but it’s been a painful journey!  Lack of updates and information has been killer at times.  Even the forums have been pretty much dead.  Now I know it’s because they put the game on the back burner and focused on the Hero Engine, but it’s still been a bit frustrating.  I had hoped they were hard at work on the actual game, and now there is an update to prove it.  No, it’s not juicy info about game systems and such, but several new screenshots have been released:

West of the Grenmeer Lowlands and south of the region now known as Nishaal, Rivanir Hollows is well-known to Elanthians as the locale of one of the most destructive events of the Sundering: the falling of the Floatshale City, Eiroton.   The broken remains of the city still litter the area to this day, and the buried secrets and power that still remain amidst the ruins are a tremendous prize to both the Triumvirate and its enemies.

I keep going back and forth between hoping HJ will be a sleeper hit, but then thinking that it may get passed by and lost in the crowd among the bigger titles coming out.  They really do have some nice ideas when it comes to their quest system, and they are building off some rich lore. 

 I just hope we don’t have to wait another three months for the next update!
