- Major Update Released! - 16 July 2023
Hello everyone! I've implemented a large number of fixes, both to hero and enemy skills, and I've tightening up the storyline a bit, too. Aedric's Call to Arms now only affects allies that haven't fallen Ensnared now has an idle animation, matching other disabling status effects Damien's Arcane Barrage now deals more damage Damien's Analyticus now debuffs willpower by 20%, and has a 4 round cooldown Damien's Astral Theft now deals more damage The Conscripted Samurai's Iron Will now has a 4 round cooldown Athena's Divine Grace will no longer revive fallen allies if Empower Spell is active Enemies should no longer attempt to dominate stunned heroes, locking them in an endless cycle Encinder's higher level animation now anchors below targets, allowing it to be seen clearly Fragility won't kill guest allies if they don't act in time on Storyteller or Normal difficulty Two instances where th…
- Demo Update! - 6 July 2023
The demo for the game has been updated, including many QoL features, re-balancing, and more! Fixes The header for Aedric's auras now says that only one can be active at any time. Sunrays no longer display through transitions and fades. Storyteller difficulty now grants immunity to Doom. As always, your feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
- 4th Mini Update - 4 July 2023
A few fixes this time... More spelling errors have been corrected. Gems can now be attached to starter gear. Aedric's elemental blades header now states that its damage caps at 10 points. The description for Fae Covenant now includes the user in its effect. The Brilliant Charm of Meditation can now only be worn by mages. Aedric's thoughts during the inn scenes now use the dark background, showing that he's thinking, instead of talking out loud. A guest character's level-up quotes have been changed to better reflect their personality. The speaker's name in an ending scene has been centered. Due to feedback, the first series of Chain Fights are now a little easier. If an enemy hits with an element-infused physical attack, it is now impossible to block the elemental damage if the first attack connected. Transitions in Act 2 and later should be smoother, now. As always, your feedback is app…
