Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors · published · build 22331540
First of all, thank you for your patience. And secondly, no, we have not abandoned the game. Over the past couple of months we ran into a few particularly tough nuts on the coding side. That unfortunately kept us quieter than we wanted to be. Some of you might know the drill of developing games in your room, lights off, completely locked in, trying to make everyone happy. :D
The good news is that we are back on track and today we are dropping the first regular update of the year, with more updates already planned.
Here is what this one brings.
Added the Loom of Fate to the player hub. Here you can spend pigments to receive random Warpaints of specific rarity tiers in return.
Added a new realm: Jotunheim. The frozen land of the giants comes with new enemies, a new boss, and also introduces the endboss for Svartalfheim.
Added a minimap icon for chests.
Adjusted the rarity curve for upgrade tiers. Previously, rarities were forced to appear at specific levels which turned out to be too powerful and difficult to balance. Now only the common rarity is removed from the pool at a certain level. Higher rarities still become more likely as you progress, but they are no longer guaranteed. The main way to influence rarity outcomes is now by increasing the Luck stat.
Fixed an issue that prevented the Inventory from opening after a successful run.
Fixed an issue that prevented the Compendium from opening.
Thank you so, so much for your continued support. We will keep our heads up and aim to deliver updates more steadily and frequently from here on out.
We're aware of the issues surrounding the Warpaint system and want to sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.
While investigating the problem, we discovered several underlying security issues in the way Warpaints were being saved. Because of this, we’ve decided to completely rewrite the saving system—not only for the Warpaint feature but for the entire game. In rare cases, these issues could also lead to progress loss outside of the Warpaint system.
Unfortunately, implementing this new system will require another progress reset.
Since we are getting closer to the end of Early Access, we’ve decided to introduce this change with the 1.0 launch. Version 1.0 will add new mechanics that require players to progress through earlier content again, so a full reset at that point ensures that everyone starts from the same place.
Of course, players who supported the game during Early Access will receive special rewards as a thank-you gift for being part of the journey.
Once again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your patience and support. We hope you continue to enjoy the game!
Until next time.
