Valmora Devlog — Your companions deserve something more (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Come get comfortable, we have a few things to show you :)

We’ve been busy with Valmora’s interfaces, and the video above gives you a more generous peek at what’s taking shape. This time, we’re spending a little longer with your companions, exploring the reworked menus and taking our first steps back into the skill tree.

More attention for your companions

Adventuring together is only part of the story. Between one dangerous encounter and the next, your companions deserve a little attention too.

We’ve been reworking the follower manager, updating its appearance and functionality to make managing your followers feel more comfortable. Their information and the available controls are getting a clearer presentation, with a style that fits the rest of Valmora.

You can see the current version in action in the video. We’re curious to hear how it feels to you, and what you’d most like to have close at hand when checking on your companions.

Making ourselves at home in the menus

The follower manager is part of a wider rework across several interfaces. We’ve been refining layouts, spacing and visual details, alongside the way you interact with the screens.

These are places you’ll return to throughout your adventure, so we want to give them the care they deserve. Browsing a menu should feel comfortable, and it should carry a little of Valmora’s atmosphere with it.

There’s still polishing and testing to do, but seeing the screens come together in-game has been a satisfying part of the work.

A first taste of the skill tree

We’ve also started revisiting the skill tree. It’s early days for this part, but we wanted you to see where the work begins.

You’ll catch a glimpse in the video, and we’ll have more to share as it develops. For now, consider it a small taste of something we’re beginning to give more attention.

Thank you for being here and supporting Valmora. Getting to share these moments with you makes the work feel a little less behind closed doors :)

Tell us what caught your attention, and what you’d like us to show you next.
