Ahead of our Community Alpha Test 6, we've just dropped Patch 0.10.18 with tons of enhancements, refinements, and new content. One stretch goal the amazing Redbeardflynn hinted at in his recent video can now be confirmed. 🏹 Our tooling and modular design philosophy allowed us to quickly get up and running expanding the roster of Willowbrook!
Introducing Halfling Ranger
Hailing from the Dunnock Hills, these hardy halflings, belonging to the Hillwatcher guild, protect the Eastern front of the Ardent Vale from invasion, and monitor the hamlet of Ehrensdale for any threats. Enemies of the Halflings should beware the many towers of the Hillwatchers, and the settlement they train their rangers from.
Choose this or one of our dozens of Race / Class combos!

Dunnock Hills Development
Ranger was a debated Race / Class Combo for Halfling. Some of the team had concerns, mostly surrounding physiology. Warrior however already has access to Archery, and as we continued to flesh out the final Race for the eastern region of Adrullan, we found Ranger options anemic. Ahead of our test, we tasked ourselves with seeing if we could get this new combination in. Though there is still a lot to flesh out, we're thrilled to say we took the area form a depressing blank run from Frostfall Foothills down to The Moorhavens, to a fully realized zone, satellite town, and class starting experience in less than a weeks time. Led by Landon, the chief auteur of Willowbrook, Skeeter, and Riggles jumped in. Leveraging our MineCraft tooling and ever growing modular prop kit, we're thrilled as we know, ultimately, the games success will be a content arms race. I'd be lying if I said we weren't scared, but experiences like this prove we made the right choices for rapid implementation and iteration.
We hope you can check it when you play as Halfling Ranger or another of the dozens of Class / Race combos available July 11th!
