Zenith's Call

So we've been working on a lot of the polish. We're trying to gear up to at least have a single area completely finished by the time we let a few members of our community in to try it out. The first area is called Snowvale, and it is our official 'testing' town. It has quests, monsters, vendors and shops for us to test out. Once we have this testing area finished, we'll begin to tackle more and more content as we move on down the development line towards our MVP. With that being said, here are our changes for this week.
