Quite a surprise after all these years, but seems cool.

It's been years since I played flare. Seems there's been work on game balance, which sounds nice. Procedural generation for maps sounds like a good addition for replayability, too, though from reading the notes, seems like it's limited to a new side dungeon.

Happy for the release, but I preferred the old viewport (which was zoomed out in comparison to this version?)

Played a bit of the random dungeons, they are OK.

Maybe this is a good time to replay the Empyrean Campaign. ;-) I finished it once a long time ago, but maybe I try hardcore next. I also got to try out the new "bonus" dungeon.

I have toyed with the idea of making my own FLARE game one day, using the default media files but with a completely new story. Basically a token of appreciation for building this nice engine. But it may be a long time until then, I still have many other active projects. :P

Empyrean Campaign was very fun but I always found the story to be one of its weaker points. But maybe that changed in 1.15.

I will probably write again once I replayed it.
