Update 0.8.6

27 Jun

1) New Class: Necromancer

Perks:

Life Tap (ability - Lose 10 HP, gain 1 Momentum)
+100 upgrade points when any unit dies (including summoned)
Immunity to Bleed and Poison

Upgrades:

+20% Lifesteal to all attacks
+1 momentum on enemy taking bleed damage (reaction)
+30% base damage for summoned units

Skills:

Bone Arrow (ranged physical attack: apply bleed on impact)
Steal Effect (ability: steal one random positive effect from target unit)
Death Ripple (spell: deal elemental damage to all non-undead units)
Medium Stance (ability - stance: while active, summon a ghost at the start of your turn) (ghost level scales with necromancer's elemental strength at the moment of summoning)
Blood Curse (spell: apply Blood Curse to target enemy (prevent healing once))
Undead Rage (spell: apply Undead Rage to target undead unit (gains initiative but loses hp per turn))
Bone Shield (ability: gain block)
Spirit bomb (ranged elemental attack with AOE: increased damage for each unit killed this combat)(including summoned)

This brings a lot of new posibilities, I can't wait to see how you combine it with other classes!

2) New Prop Spawning System

Now, each environment has a set of pre-defined props that can spawn on the platform, and other set for the low ground.

The exact amount of each prop and their positions are randomized at the start of each match.

On average, there are more props than before. Now it's easier to take cover, block enemy movement, etc.

Remember that most props can be displaced, use this to your advantage!

(pickups / collectibles are not affected by this change)

New prop, Qualdron: +30% elemental strength to all adjacent units. When destroyed, apply 3 stacks of Acid to all adjacent units.

(the only prop that's both benefical and dangerous!)

3) Swamp Environment

Units get 1 stack of poison for starting or ending a turn on low ground.

Platform props: explosive barrel, low rock, cauldron

Low ground props: tall rock, cauldron, tree stump

4) Blight Environment

Undead units Heal 10 HP for starting or ending a turn on low ground.

All other units Lose 10 HP.

Platform props: tall rock, cauldron

Low ground props: none

Update 0.8.5

22 Jun

1) Village Environment

New environment for "Imperial City" region.

Wooden Logs: Grant 100 Upgrade Points when picked up. (they spawn at combat start, not over time)
Water Wells: +1 momentum per turn to adjacent units. Always spawn off platform. Very hard to destroy, can't be displaced.
Haystacks: Block movement and sight. Can spawn anywhere. Very easy to destroy or displace.
No special penalties for going off platform. (only the normal damage/resistance penalty)

2) New Skills

Barbarian:

Iron Skin (spell): Increase Physical and Elemental Resistance but decrease Evasion.
Vengeance (passive): Increase Initiative for each friendly unit killed this combat (including summons).
Warcry (ability): Grants Blood Lust to all nearby friendly units.
Fire Dash (ability): Charges towards target unit 2 or 3 tiles away. Deal elemental damage, apply Burn and displace target.

3) New Relics

Spyglass: +1 free information level on stage selection

Ring of Nature: Gain a Wolf minion each stage.

4) Improved Performance

Upgraded to Unity 6 and made a lot of adjustments, which led to much better performance.

FPS seems to be up to 50% higher (specially when there are lots of units simultaneosly).

Nobody has ever complained about performance. However, as the game grows, I think it's important to do constant maintenance so it continues to run smoothly!

And plenty of fixing minor issues and combat balancing.

The game is almost ready for Early Access, only a few weeks from now!

Thanks a lot to all the players that have been giving great feedback!

More updates coming soon

Update 0.8.4

14 Jun

1) Corrupted Environment

New environment for the Final Region.

Floor tiles do damage equal to corruption level whenever a non-corrupted enter or end a turn in these tiles. (corrupted units are not affected).

2) New items

Sorcerer's Tunic: -10 AP cost for all spells. +20 Elemental Resistance

Sorcerer's Helm: +1 Range for all spells. +10 Elemental Resistance

3) Skill Hotkeys

Activate any action of the top row with keys F1 to F12, bottom row with numbers from 1 to 0.

For actions that do not require target, it will ask you to press the same key again to confirm.

By default, keys are not shown (for aesthethic reasons). Once you press any hotkey, all of them become visible for the entire turn.

4) Re-roll main rewards

You'll get 3 new options (from the same category).

The chance of corrupted rewards appearing is calculated again on rerolling.

5) Notifications when unlocking a new class or new skills

6) Game progress bar

Fill the stage slots as you progress through the run (the current stage flickers).

Length varies depending on game mode.

7) Combat balancing

Energy Orb: Momentum gain now scales with item level

Slash: Now applies 2 stacks of bleed (used to be 1)

Goblin Thief: Can steal up to 100 upgrade points from the opposite squad (ability)

Tribal Hunter: Slightly reduced Accuracy, Evasion, Physical Strength and Base Damage

maps not loading

every time I start a new map enemies are not loaded in. In the past I could force close the game, open it again and use continue, then the problem disappeared, however I haven't been able to do it lately. A new map means no enemies, nothing is loaded in.
