We are currently rolling out announcements and new info about the features in Melon Quest!
Here's the latest of the first six features we've announced on melonquest.juicycupcake.com:
Towns, Villages & Quests
Throughout your adventure you will stumble upon safe towns full of quirky characters, and merchants to interact with. Some towns might be dangerous, filled with bandits and foes that will put your combat skills to the test.
You will have the option to take on branching quests from characters that you meet throughout your adventure. Some quests may lead you off the main path, while others might be just in your sight.
You could be passing by a camp with helpless creatures that need saving from terrifying beasts. Maybe saving the helpless creatures will get you into more trouble, and they are in fact the real threat. There are plenty of things out to kill you in Melon Quest.
Small town - Pre-alpha in-engine concept
