On the back of the last update (Plague Bearer's Mask) - DoTs had been reduced to not ticking correctly in their phases. - DoTs now tick correctly โ Fixed 3 stale references in combat log messages that were causing a runtime crash, silently killing all DoT resolution phases (Ablaze, Venom, Frostbite, Blight, etc.) It should work back as normal now! - Deck button repositioned on the Victory Reward screen. - Deck overlay fixed โ now shows your deck instead of the empty draw pile.
- Bug Fix, Balance Change, UI Updates! - 11 May 2026
Thank you everyone for being patient! I know there have been a lot of updates but this should be the last big batch for now! Next week I will be updating enemies and balancing them. At the moment it does sometimes feel you can blow up the entire game, or unfortunately die to a Maniac Imp carelessly! ๐ฅ Balance Changes Plague Bearer's Mask โ Reworked (Way Too Poweful!) Removed the "DoTs tick an extra time" effect. This was causing DoT damage to spiral out of control (30+ stacks in 1-2 casts). The relic now simply gives +2 bonus stacks whenever you apply any DoT (Ablaze, Venom, Frostbite, Blight, Deathbloom), plus you still gain 1 Blight on yourself every other turn. โ๏ธ Bug Fixes Combat - Fixed enemies still attacking after being killed by burn/poison damage. If DoTs finish off all enemies, the battle now ends immediately without them getting a last hit in. - Fixed summoned units still atโฆ

- Thank You Everyone! - 10 May 2026
Hi Everyone! I hope those of you that have Melovar's Tale, enjoy it and can appreciate my efforts. I will do my best to fix any issues coming up as quickly as I can whenever possible and to stay interactive with the community as much as I can.Creating Melovarโs Tale has genuinely been one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences Iโve ever had. From the very beginning, this project was never just about making โanother gameโ. For me, it was about bringing a world, a character, and a style of gameplay that Iโve always loved, into something players could truly immerse themselves in. Inspired heavily by the strategic brilliance of games like Slay the Spire, Iโve always been drawn to that feeling of surviving on the fly! Managing limited resources, adapting your strategy under pressure, and finding ways to overcome opponents through clever thinking. That constant tension between risk anโฆ

A safety system now detects stuck combats and automatically ends the fight within a few seconds, ensuring you always receive your rewards. Thank you for the regular feedback!
- ๐ง Bug Fixes & Improvements - 9 May 2026
๐ง Bug Fixes & Improvements ๐ง A little more of a detailed update following some bug reports I've received! Just for better clarity, when reporting bugs please try to give me as much information and screenshot if possible so I can pinpoint the issues. - Steam Overlay Settings: Fixed an issue where the Steam Overlay could not be opened on certain screens such as Hero Select and the Map Screen. It should now work consistently across the entire game. - Background Bleed: Fixed a visual issue where the background from one screen would bleed through onto overlay screens like Collections, Leaderboard, and Settings, especially noticeable in fullscreen mode. The Game is designed for 1920x1080 so larger screens will have a larger black border / background bleed. - Combat Map Overlay: Fixed the in-combat Map View being cut off at the bottom of the screen. The map now displays correctly at all windโฆ
