Verdantwake: Idle Frontiers takes shape.

The current playable Windows development build brings together the Hearthwind village, personalized arrival sequence, character creation, Frontiers map, combat fields, guardian trials, crafting, talents, gathering professions and eligible offline progression.

Recent development work includes a ten-Frontier map, shadowed discovery presentation, updated town interactions, animated scene elements, expanded creator options and animation fixes.

Next up: validating production Steam sign-in, preparing secure account services, and continued gameplay, balance, accessibility and performance testing ahead of planned Early Access.
