Two new levels and better character customisation, for starters
Developers Might And Delight callBook Of Travelsa TMORPG, a “tiny” MMO that’s focused on fleeting interactions with other players, as opposed to lots of them. It’s a lovely looking adventure with a neat concept, so it was sad to hear that they’d been hit withlayoffsafter a difficult launch. However, some heartening news! More levels are on the way, as well as new character customisation tools. They also reaffirmed that despite being a much smaller team than before, they’re committed to working on the game for the foreseeable.

Might And Delightsaythey’re adding two more levels to be explored. “A mountainous forest level to the west and a hidden underground outmark called the ‘Underbelly’”. There’s no clear release date for these things, but they say they’re aiming to have them “completed and rolled out in the near future”. We’ve also been treated to a single screenshot of what’s presumably the forest level. I can’t tell if it’s spooky or tranquil. I suppose a tentative night walk will confirm things.
The devs again acknowledge that they’re a much smaller team than before, but despite this, they are committed to promises they made in the past. “Everything that we’ve confirmed we’re going to do is still on the table” Might And Delight say. “Our workflow has obviously seen changes recently but again: Book Of Travels will stay on course to becoming the RPG experience of our dreams”.
Just really nice news, to be honest. Book Of Travels looks like a delightful MMO and it’s one brave enough to go “tiny” over the usual “massive”. Lauren Morton (RPS in peace)interviewedcreative director Jakob Tuchten and believed it might be the cure for her break-up with MMOs.
