Millenniapede's Goldenheart is honored to have been included in this event with dozens of unique Indie dungeon crawlers you may or may not have already heard of it! Unfortunately, Goldenheart won't be on sale during the event because I accidentally used up my allotted discounts for the current time period BUT HEY - look out for a nice discount around the corner! (Or help support the development…
This minor patch makes a couple of small changes to The Ancient City of Eshalar to prevent a rare scenario where a player could become stuck in a certain area after discovering a shortcut through the level. Please continue to report bugs and issues if you come across them! They are becoming more rare but we are still on the lookout! -kippercans
A couple people have mentioned this on the discussion board lately so I decided to go ahead and add Y-axis inversion even though I don't have anything else ready at this time. Sorry for those of you who were kept waiting! The setting is accessed from the pause menu. Please let me know if you have any issues or bugs! Thanks.
Greetings players and future players, Since release, we've spent time hanging out with players and watching streamers play. This has been an invaluable source of feedback! One common observation has been that, artistically speaking, the game seems to hark back to some retro era that didn't actually exist: This is a reality about Goldenheart that will never really change and was only somewhat in…
I patched the 1.2 beta build on the BETA branch to fix graphical issues I found in testing: -All small light sources have been checked and fixed for brightness issues, pending further testing. -The NPC clothing textures and skin tones have been fixed. -The Boss Health Bar has been updated to the new UI style. -The "Goldenheart" title image resolution has been fixed. When testing is finished, th…
Goldenheart v1.2 "Demastered" is now in BETA on the public beta branch. The "demastered" version is a major update that features a complete graphical overhaul of the game, introducing a retro stylization inspired by feedback we've gotten from players since release! It also brings optimizations and bug fixes. The public beta branch can be accessed from the Steam library: Goldenheart Library Page…
The Goldenheart OST is now available for purchase on the store page! The Goldenheart OST contains all 37 individual tracks included in the game. The tracks have been trimmed to normal and short lengths, trying to maintain the essence of each track. The total playtime is about 1 hour and 40 minutes and the order of the songs mimic the progression of the game. All music was created in-house by th…
This small patch attempts to correct an error from the v1.1 update that may have accidentally downgraded the player's collision detection, causing characters to more easily clip through walls when being "launched" by an enemy attack or other force. We'll continue to watch out for cases of this, please continue to report! Thank you :)
v1.1.1 small patch · Fixed a bug in the Oasis that could prevent the exit portal from loading in certain scenarios (if you got stuck here you should be able to resume playing as normal) · Fixed a bug that caused two NPCs to disappear in a certain scenario in the final level · Fixed a typo on an NPC's nametag in Mt. Tulderon Trail

Difficulty se…
This is just a heads up to say that the steam achievements will become visible on steam over the course of the day today but they won't be obtainable on the main branch for a couple days. They should be working on the beta branch by tonight or tomorrow (We are MST time). The new build will be moved to the main branch as soon as testing is finished and any problems are fixed. Anyone willing to r…
This update has been in the works for some time but was kept separate from yesterday's patch to help keep us from getting our wires crossed. These changes introduce several new features "under the hood" to help to make the game play more smoothly. Please let us know if you encounter any bugs! Air control added to jumping and falling physics: This makes all of the platforming a bit more forgivin…

Immersion Mode: Pressing "T" or "D-pad down" will now toggle the HUD visibility. This includes boss health meters, the action button, and the red outline around targeted enemies, as well as... everything else. It can be toggled at any time during play, except during the tutorial.

We discovered that our patch v1.005 on December 1st introduced a pretty serious bug that caused many doors in the game to save as "Opened" whenever the level was reloaded after reaching a save point. The bug has been fixed but if you are already part way through a level those doors could still be missing. You should be able to finish and the next level will be back to normal. If you got stuck i…
OpenDyslexic is a typeface designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia - It was recommended to us by a player. We found it to suit the game just fine and figured that a font designed to be easy to read will benefit everyone, so it has replaced the former YujiBoku as the font for the dialogue box in the game. · We standardized the rest of the text to use only Overlock for system text and A…

A bug with the climbing walls, triggered by being attacked by the wasps while climbing, has been fixed and the wasp behavior has been adjusted. · A bug that sometimes prevented the player from progressing after defeating a certain boss has been fixed. · A new save point has been added closer to where the final boss battle begins.
Thanks to volunteers from r/SteamDeck, we've been able to get an early confirmation that Goldenheart is running happily on the deck and the controls are working correctly with no configuration needed: "Runs at 60fps/60hz no problem while limiting to 10 watts on battery [...] I touched nothing. Default proton." We're nonetheless continuing work on optimizations for the Steam Deck, including supp…
