Hi there Herodonians, welcome to new post about our MMORPG in developement – Herodonia.com. Here, we will be focusing on version Alpha v.0.2.0. We’re working hard to finally and proudly call our game a Beta MMORPG, however, there is still much to do despite so many changes and fixes! Let’s start then.
MMORPG in developement – Alpha New Features
In game MMORPG with Cooking Recipes
As you can see in the picture above you can now craft some delicious dishes that will give you health and mana. How can you craft those? Simply go to Yagoda – the Inn Keepers’ Daughter and ask for help with crafting food. She will help you with finding the right ingredients, cooking, and, at the end, will reward you with New Recipe. Porridge, Barley Soup or Slavic Kutya? Now you can learn on how to make those and make them on every fire. In our free to play adventure rpg you can find up to 15 recipes but new ones are still added. To cook a dish you will also need a piece of firewood so keep that in mind when collecting branches and wood around the place.
Collecting Items from Map Rework
From now on you can harvest many collectables by using dedicated tools. Those include, for instance, a hoe or a scythe. In order to use them on an item you have to set it as your shortcut (you can imagine that shortcuts are a metaphor of what you have in your hand). Secondly, some plants needs to be clicked more than once to be collected. Items on map have “stamina” bar which will decrement when you’ll be collecting particular item.
What is worth mentioning is the fact, that some plants might grow and be collected only in the specific day frame. Furthermore, you could find some items only at nighttime, other only during the day and so on. I think that it is even more exciting when you had collected some rare items only to find our their rareness.

You have chance to find cute, small animals
New monsters? Yes, but not really! We introduce young monsters – chicks, small bears and small pigs and calves. You can’t kill them, but you can adore them…until they are ready to fight. There are still plenty of monsters that we want to add to our MMORPG in development, and here are some of those. You can find them on further areas of the village, being around level 6 or more.
Critical Hit
Crit!!! From now on the critical hit is marked and bold adding this sweet, sweet feeling of getting stronger and dealing more and more damage. To be honest, the critical hit was present in the MMORPG in development right from the start, however, it was not visible enough in the heat of the battle. So, to sum it up, the overall experience of the gameplay should increase and you can check it by yourself.
Player attacks got new effects
New effects include also fighting in various styles. Thus, depending on your weapon of choice the effects will vary. We encourage you to craft more than one weapon in order to check how well it will suit you in the combat.
