- Reliefs The Time of The Lemures Diary of devs #31 - 21 April 2025
Hello everyone! It's been over 1 year and 6 months since version 1.0 of the game was released on the various platforms, and the last patch for the game was released in June 2024. A new patch, 1.0.03, was due to be released at the end of 2024, but some recent improvements to the game engine have delayed and finally cancelled this patch. The limitations of the game engine: In the version currently available, the game uses the Unity 2020.3.47 game engine. At the end of 2024, the Unity 6 game engine became available and a number of improvements to this engine mean that I can now add certain features to the game that had been removed due to performance and capacity problems. When Reliefs The Time of the Lemures was first imagined, it was intended to be a realistic open world. As game engines changed during development, realism became increasingly important, to the detriment of the open world…
- Patch 1.0.02 - 27 June 2024
This corrective patch 1.0.02 is here to fix a few important crashes for the Mac version only. - Fixed a crash in the Mac version of the game that could freeze after logos in a black screen with music (or not) in the background. This problem was due to the incorrect identification of an important file path. - Fixed a crash in the Mac version of the game which could automatically close the game after the logos. This problem was due to an important file that was missing on recent Mac versions and processors (M3). These problems were identified and corrected after a few weeks' work, with the help of Joe M's tests, whom I thank enormously!

I hope you enjoy the work, the adventure, the atmosphere and the universe! ____________________________________________________________ Early access version saves: To all those who started a game during early access, before version 1.0.00. I recommend starting a new game if you want to get an overall feel for the game. Although your save games may work on this version, many changes to the setting and story elements mean that I can't guarantee that your previous save games will work.

Hello everybody ! The March Update is now available! This month, significant change in game rendering, addition of new Steam and non-Steam achievements, horse improvement and many bug fixes! Summary of the update: This update was supposed to add a new region to explore. Unfortunately, this region is not yet complete and therefore will not be available today. The work on improving the game's graphics took much longer than expected and all previously made regions had to be painstakingly corrected in order to adapt to this new rendering. The level of Neptune (update 0.4.08) has been greatly improved with the addition of many details and some new places to explore in order to unlock the 4 new achievements available.

- Reliefs The time of The Lemures 0.4.08 released! - 28 February 2023
Hello everybody ! The doors of the world of Neptune open these doors to you! New month and therefore new update that adds a new region to explore, the level of Neptune. This new environment gives you great freedom of exploration and action in a huge semi-open level. Neptune is the god of oceans, water and horses, the puzzles are logically based on the use of water. I wish you a good adventure! Also a small important note: Basically, when the game was designed, each level should be explored only once, after having passed this level, the player should never return to it. This game mechanic has been changed and the player can now explore the same levels to complete as many times as they wish. This is very useful for achievements for example. Update note: Graphics: - Improved rendering of decals (elements used to modify the appearance of buildings, to old them for example), their appearance…
