Here’s a bit of information about the upcoming update for the Othello Mod. The author shares a lot of news exclusively on their Patreon for members, so I won’t be posting those updates here. Firstly, I’m not a member, and secondly, even if I were, I wouldn’t share them publicly. So, let’s take a look at what we do know.
The author mentions changes to the Marksman (bow/crossbow user).
The author claims that this update will include massive changes and gameplay improvements.
Another path (a simplified one) has been added to Kalom’s dungeon for new players.
There will be a focus on fixes and improvements in the final chapters (as mentioned in the previous update).

Level 2 -> cost reduced from 500 to 450
Level 3 -> cost increased from 750 to 900
New belts (for mages) have been added to the game.
