Scarred Steel Bug Fix: 23/03/2026

Scarred Steel Demo · published

Hey guys, have had various people play and stream Scarred Steel and give really useful feedback to help me fix bugs. I’ve also adjusted combat in the hope of making it shorter and less “tedious”.I also fixed a huge bug which was deleting items and making the game unplayable… I basically had the playerstate in the wrong place (not in the beginning) so saves didn’t have the playerstate when loading… Pretty silly of me but should now be fixed. :)

Anyway, here’s the changes I’ve made:

  • Fixed a bug with loading into a save and items not spawning or being able to move on the map

  • Increased base damage from target hit zones

  • Arms Target Zone: 0.6x damage → 0.8x damage

  • Legs Target Zone: 0.8x damage → 1x damage

  • Torso Target Zone: 0.9 damage → 1x damage

  • Base hit chance increased moderately

  • Increased stamina recovery amount on using recover

  • Slightly reduced cost of combat actions

  • Cleaned up save UI

  • Added way to rename saves

  • Fixed inventory duplication issues

  • Fixed inventory character visual issues

  • Fixed various other saving issues with Kingdom and Town scene

  • Added way to quicken time when moving on Kingdom map

Appreciate the patience and feedback once again, this is my first project and I’m still making silly mistakes (even with all of AI’s help).

If you find any bugs or issues with any of my games, feel free to reach out on discord.

Am hoping to get more people playtesting my games moving forward to reduce the bugs and issues with games moving forward.

Many thanks,

Ethan.
