- Res Judicata: Vale of Myth Mega-Patch 2.0.0. - 6 September 2020
Res Judicata: Vale of Myth Mega Patch 2.0.0 When restoring game files to address the nw.js driver crash, the game files that were restored were from an incorrect version. I believe this is because of a complication of the RPGMaker MV save process conflicting with code repository software. While playing the game, I discovered many previously fixed bugs had re-manifested. Since I was already working on it, I corrected any new bugs and added content to improve the game experience. DLC Changes Official Sound Track Converted OST DLC to Steam Soundtrack Strategy Guide Updated to include all 2.0.0 new content and balance changes Added never before seen character and world sections! Vale of Myth Changes (Demo and Full game) Critical Fixes Fixed 5 crashes and 11 soft locks: DrawGauge override crash Disease damage calculation crash Kronos filename crash Rare Crash due to Bleed and Poison states a…
- Mega Patch 2.0.0 is now in Beta! - 15 July 2020
Mega Patch 2.0.0 is now in Beta. It covers all core and optional game content. The original post stated the patch would be out in a few days, but I underestimated the scope of the patch. The patch has been three weeks work. The Mega Patch now fixes nine game crashes and softlocks (up from the six previously reported), the number of bugs fixed has tripled, and the Mega Patch now adds new content as well! I've also added a number of quality of life improvements, for example, bracer and shield descriptions now include (previously hidden) block rate and damage reduction stats. I'm excited to tell you all the details, but I'm trying to save the big reveals for the patch release. Wear a mask, and stay safe.
- Vale of Myth Mega Patch Coming Soon - 24 June 2020
So, I've been playing through the latest revision of Vale of Myth to gather footage for a new trailer in time for the summer. In doing so, I have noticed to my horror that many bugs are present in the game. When restoring the game files from SVN in order to address the NW.js driver crash issue, it seems that the code in the SVN was not up-to-date. Long story short, the mega patch will bring Vale of Myth from 1.4.0 to 2.0.0. It fixes six game crashes, fixes pages of bugs of all severity levels, and overhauls the random enemy encounters to be much more varied. Mr. S. will now have a unique battle appearance matching his face set, and several quality of life improvements are being added as well. The mega patch will be out in the next few days. It's been six day's work so far, and I'm looking forward to really cleaning things up. Wear a mask, and stay safe.

- Game Library Assets Updated - 16 December 2019
Hey everyone, for those annoyed by the placeholder images, Vale of Myth is now using proper art for the new collection system.
- Anniversary Content Goes Live! - 23 October 2018
Hey everyone, the OST, Strategy Guide, 1.4.0 release AND the Gaia bundle will all be live tomorrow morning. The Gaia bundle contains the full game, and all DLC to date for one low price. Some promised content for the anniversary did not make the deadline - I'm still working on the bonus dungeons and investigating a Linux release. The bonus dungeon content will be released for free. Features in 1.4.0: *The Temporal Rift is now available. It can be accessed through one of roughly a dozen different rift gates. *Damage number readability has been improved *Critical hits and multiple hit damage are now more visible *A WEAK popup now appears when hitting an enemy weakness *Enemy weaknesses are now tracked and shown for players during battle *The Stalwart achievement now activates properly in-game (a mis-capitalization caused it not to activate) *Sectioned health bars are removed *A number of…
- Bonus Dungeon Delay - 21 October 2018
Hey Everyone, The Gaea Edition, OST, and Strategy Guide are complete and ready for release on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to release the bonus dungeons at that time. They are still on the way, of course, and I've added in some new scripts to help battle be more engaging and easy to use. Life has gotten a little out of hand lately, and I apologize for the delays. Just to be extra clear, the bonus content is and will be free of charge for all players.
- OSX and Linux Releases - 4 October 2018
It is with a conflicted heart that I have to amend the one anniversary release for Vale of Myth. I will not be able to ship the OS X and Linux editions on time. I’ve needed to make room for the rest of my career, and fixing a rare bug in the windows release has kept me busy. The Gaea Bundle, OST and Strategy Guide, along with other promised features are still planned for release on October 22. It is my intent to still release OS X and Linux builds, time allowing, I just don’t have the time to release them before the 22nd. Some of you may be wondering why I skip fixing the bug - since the windows, OSX and Linux versions all use the same basic structure, it is likely the same bug may appear in the OSX an Linux builds as well. Getting it fixed first means smoother OSX and Linux releases later.
- Vacation - 2 July 2018
Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a heads-up that I'll be heading on Vacation - my first vacation in a decade, in fact, and during that time I unfortunately won't be able to answer emails, comments, discussion posts, or messages. Once I return, I will resume all duties in full, of course! I will be away from July 4th, to July 18th, inclusive. I'll ask a friend to keep an eye on the forums and respond to what he can. Thank you all, and have a wonderful two weeks!
- About that Contest - 30 June 2018
Originally we had hoped to run a contest that would reward players for taking time to review the game. Because so many games compete for player's time, we felt a reward would encourage players to leave reviews. The intent was to create an ethical reward that would not encourage undue bias. We discussed the matter in detail with the Sentinels of the Store, as we are friendly with them, and we know they've seen all kinds of practices. The discussion helped us to see the contest in a new light. After spirited discussion, we came to an agreement that it just isn't possible to offer an ethical review contest. It causes a similar issue to observation bias - that is to say, if people know they are being observed (or in this case, being rewarded), it will affect their behaviour - and they may not be aware that their behaviour has changed. It is an imperative for me to run Res Judicata and its c…
