Game update · published 6 Jul 2023, 13:30:53 UTC

Small maintenance update

Added a new render-buffer flush mechanic to the window manager which aims to tackle the render-buffer getting out-of-sync after minimizing the game on some Windows hardware configurations. Due to none of my testing hardware being affected by the issue, this solution is somewhat of a theoretical approach and not fully confirmed as effective, but community testing results look promising Added add…

Minor update following the June QoL update

Various hotfixes to tackle launch day issues with the QoL patch · Fixed an issue in the new restart generation feature that caused story completion times to not properly reset, which could lead to incorrect displayed times (those prior to the restart). This effect was purely visual/informational, and had no impact on progression. This fix takes one or two restarts or reincarnations to correct i…

June's quality of life and player feedback update

With this update I wanted to work through a significant amount of my feedback-backlog, primarily focusing on features that were too big to "pick up" during focused-developement cycles, such as content updates. It doesn't tackle the entirely of my list, but takes care of most things that don't have roadmap-benefits to hold off until more content is fleshed out. Let's get straight to todays chang…

March's player feedback update

Let me start off by thanking you for all the feedback that followed the release of chapters 10 & 11! With different people taking vastly different approaches to the same content, it was somewhat of a challenge to define the rough edges. But nothing is as helpful as in-depth thought-sharing of your experience to determine what to improve upon! So let’s get to the changes, I hope you’ll enjoy the…

Far more of you returned to the game than I ever dared to expect, and the game even peaked into the top 250 games with most concurrent players on Steam.

Improved the accuracy of combat-safeties. They now include food cooldowns into the computation when it's a close call. Tackling the frustration of being forced to stop when you were sure you could make it · Combat safety no longer checks for 25% health, as it no longer has a benefit for the formula and could potentially lead to false-positives with low maximum health (Temporarily disabled with…

Closed beta registrations are now open!

Why closed beta instead of starting Early Access? Development has reached a state where I feel there's still too little content to feel comfortable releasing it as Early Access. At the same time it has also reached a state where the content will benefit from player feedback. For this reason, it made sense to move into Beta. The Beta initially features the first three chapters (roughly 6.5 times…
