PROJECT STATUS: BETA
The game is fully polished up to the end of the main story (defeating Attraidies). Development is currently focused on balancing and revamping the sizeable post-Attraidies content. We recommend waiting to play this third chapter when we're out of beta, unless you'd like to be a part of the journey to 1.0.

GAME MANUAL:
*On death, you will drop all your Dark Souls and have one chance to recover them. For a more forgiving experience, you can turn this off in the mod's Config options.
*The new dodge roll action with i-frames is an essential part of TSORC. It can be bound to any key in TModLoader's controller settings, under the mod section. Left Shift works well, with Left Alt being Auto Select.
*Multiplayer is supported for 4 players. Class diversity is recommended. Post issues you find under #bug-reports. Thanks!

HISTORY
The original Story of Red Cloud was released in 2012 by Tim Hjersed and was in development for 2 years. The Revamp project started in 2020, with the help of Zeodexic, Recursive Collapse and others. Since then it has been fully ported to TModLoader and Terraria 1.4 with a huge map overhaul, significant upgrades to the mod, and dozens of new songs added to the custom soundtrack! It's currently still in BETA, as there's still many bosses we want to revamp.
