- Core improvements to Golel. Demo 2.4.11 - 11 September 2026
Hello everyone,How is your day?Game wide featuresI have implemented a few important features to Golel.First, you can now control the resolution of full screen mode.I didn't realize that every time you go to full screen resolution, the game selects that native resolution of your screen.If you want to play on lower resolution because of GPU limitations or because you are streaming, this did not allow you to do it.Now you can select the resolution you want the full screen mode to be at.You know have some control on FOV. A lot of people want FOV controls for comfort.I also keep improving gamepad support.Gamepad is still the weakest way to play the game.Expect more button assignment and analog stick assignment in the future.Experimental features?I am trying to add more indications on the screen.My attitude is that I do not want the screen to be cluttered with numbers and Hud elements.On the…
- Golel Progress. Demo and full game. - 27 August 2026
Good day everyone.Game wide improvementsI have made a lot game wide improvements that also apply to the full game.A little nicer menus at the start of the game, and game creation.IMPORTANT: You can now select the language from within the game, instead of having to launch configuration separately.A lot of people were unable to find where to change the game's language.More UI and UX improvements and bug fixes.There is now highlighting when an item cures poison. A lot of people don't realize which items cure poison.There are now gamepad controls improvements, but keyboard and mouse or VR are still better options.Performance is smoother. Less "hiccups".For instance some audio files are now preloaded, instead of being loaded "on demand".This prevents in game hiccups, and is especially important for VR.Demo updateDemo is keep being updated as well. With the game wide improvements.Full GameI a…

Good day everyone,Supporting new languagesIn build 2.3.6, Golel now support Ukrainian, Portuguese(Portugal) and Czech.Localisation is done via AI, and also requires some manual tweaking afterwards.Full pass through the translation will be done before full release, so there might be some issues with the localization before that.Let me know if there are any other languages you would like to support next?Or if you find issues in your own native language.Full Game progressIn the full game progress, I am working on Chapter 3.Chapter 2 is more or less quite finished.The Boss battle was updated to be more interesting.Chapter 3 shape up to be quite nice.I also add a few surprises for Chapter 3. So Chapter 3 won't look like just another version of Chapter 1 and 2.Those are small changes that mix up things. So it won't feel like a filler chapter.Release dateRight now the release date is December…

I am able to fix some of the big, long trail issues, I haven't fixed yet.Chapter 2 is basically finished at this point, but I still need to change the battle of the final boss of chapter 2. It is pretty ok, but I need to make it more interesting and less tedious.I have started working on chapter 3. I think it will be super cool as well. The game has quite a variety, every new chapter is quite different.Game wide issuesThere are a few game wide issues I need to improve and fix.Gameplay support is not good enough. I also need to improve VR support.Linux still doesn't support VR. I hope I will be…
- Demo update, full game progress. - 15 March 2026
Hello,I have updated the demo but also made progress in the full game.Demo update and bugsI update features that apply to the entire game, and the Demo as well.I have also made a few improvements to the Demo itself in terms of decoration and a small significant change in the final boss.A lot of bugs have been fixed, a lot of performance improvement.I tried to improve support for gamepad, making it more convenient to play with, and fix some gamepad related bugs.However, gamepad support is still not at it's final state.What I want to say is that I keep updating the Demo, and from time to time I also introduce new bugs. So the Demo may contain bugs from time to time. Sometime I even submit pretty big new bugs that I missed.For instance the VR didn't work in one build.If you are trying the Demo for the first time, or a returning "Demo fan", be aware that things constantly change and there m…
- Back from Thailand, and update. - 23 January 2026
Hello,I have been on a trip to Thailand so work on Golel was delayed.The trip was inspiring, and I also decided to add the Thai language support.Every new language I add, I use AI to translate, but it requires fixes after the translation. Choosing shorter terms and see everything sits in place.So the Thai translation is basic right now.Changes to DemoIn Demo build 2.1.7, I have made quite a few changes.There are more bug fixes and performance improvement.There is a little more loot when you end the Demo.One of the big changes is with the way you select the local language and start a new game.I no longer have separate screen for quick start, and it's all part of the character creation screen.For the language selection, there is now an option to launch in Config mode, in which you can select the languages, and it will remember the languages until you change it again.This includes for VR,…

- Demo update 2.0.7, and Chapter 2. - 12 September 2025
Hello,Demo build 2.0.7Improvements to the Demo, which are also improvements for the overall game.I have changed weapon damage from the 1d6+2 notation, into a range of damage.So 1d6+2 would be 3-8 instead.There is now graphical indication of the condition's time until they are over.You won't have to look at the condition tooltip to see how longer it will take for it to disappear.In addition a better presentation of the time it takes an ability to be available again:I have improved the collision objects of some enemies, because it was difficult to click them when they died inside a pit.I have also made the graphics options have a wider frame, since there was very little room to see the options.I have also added the possibility to really limit the frame rate.So even if you have a 1440p 144Hz monitor, you can limit the FPS to 60, which would make it easier to render.Another thing that was r…

Hello, What's new in Demo update 1.9.6? Golel Demo update 1.9.6 has a few improvements. Used Quick items that reach 0, do not disappear from the quick item menu.

There are some UI improvements when dragging to quick item and talents. Other bug fixes. Chapter 2 I have made a lot of progress in Chapter 2. I already have 5 new monsters.

What else? I will continue to work on chapter 2. And will make improvements to the Demo as well. I have also created a new box art. What do you think of it? As always, please let me know if you have any questio…
- Golel Demo 1.8.6 and News. - 20 February 2025
Hello, News I have been working on the Demo, but also making progress in the full version. There have been some bugs and issues that I had to dedicate quite a few days to solve and improve. Some bugs even in the Unity engine itself that I had to report. Now I am already back to progressing the development. Demo 1.8.6 Bug fixes. Quality improvements in the visuals and performance. I have add support to the Turkish language as well. Water might look a little nicer now. There are still many fixes I need to do to language support. Mostly, words that are too long for the UI. I will have to go over all languages and make sure they all fit in the UI. For now, it is decent support as is. Full game I had to work quite some time on bugs that were related to the Unity engine. But I also made progress in chapter two. Adding new monsters, riddles, items and more level design. Progress seems to be go…

What's next for the Demo? I want to add more language support to the Demo. I want to make official full support for gamepad. I want to make a Linux build, the Linux build is not working properly right now. I delay this until I get a Linux machine. I would potentially also want to make a Mac build. There are some issues with different languages, like words g…
- Demo Build 1.7.7, new features. - 1 February 2025
Hello, Golel Demo 1.7.7 new features. I have been fixing issues, and adding visual and audio cues that were missing. One feature that took me at least a week to add, is gamepad support. Golel Demo now supports gamepad. You can play the entire game using gamepad only. You will need to enable the "gamepad mode" from the menu(the menu can be accessed with the gamepad even without gamepad mode). You can see the gamepad mapping here: (Notice gamepad mapping not localized yet, and is only available in English) What's next? I would like to keep improving the gamepad support. There are still ways it can be improved and make a better experience. I also need to update language localization for new terms, like the gamepad mapping. I am also going to add support for cloud saves, and the ability to delete existing saves. Also going to add more language localization. What about the full game? As much…
- Demo Build version 1.7.6 - 20 January 2025
Hello, Golel Demo build 1.7.6 is now available. A few recent issues fixed In this version, a few issues with VR were fixed. Recent versions of the VR did not work properly.

Progress on the full game have been a little slow, but I will put more effort in it soon as well. If you have any questions, issues, feedback, please let me know in the discussions. Are you satisfied with the pr…

More bug fixes to the Demo. There is also a red - to the talent cursor, when the monster has immunity to at least some of it's effects: Undead cannot get critical damage(critical stab). Undead and big monsters cannot be stunned. Some big monsters cannot be pushed back. Undead cannot get bleeding condition. Those are a few examples. Some environments now look better than before. Some other small decoration additions here and there. NPC dialog trigger is better now. If before walking into a tile would always trigger a dialog. Now trying to wal…
