That is a suitable changelog for now but expect more of these in the future with even more Development blogs. Last DB I promised that we would have actual screenshots of the game and we are pretty close to it now. The team was able to place a dozen new characters on the screen (thanks to Hoodster2k) and take screenhots with them on it. The tiles are all default and the maps are not actually going to be used so just focus on the characters, heh. Here they are!


Here is a screenshots showing all the characters we've completed so far. Starting from the left is: Lost Soul, Human, Velnora, Ghoul, Zombie, Elf, Dwarf, Slakarth, Goblin, and Ent.


These are the newer versions of the Ent, Zombie, Goblin, Dwarf, and Lost Soul.


A side view of the mysterious, tribal Slakarth race.


The common human race and the side view of the beautifull Velnora.


Another screenshot of a few characters.

I have also been doing some search for music IG and managed to find an incredible song that fits VG perfectly. Expect to hear it in the next Development blog along with more screenshots and information on Valhalla's Gate: Story of Aiden.
