You can now customize your movement keys using a configuration file added to your save game folder.

• KeyBindings.config contains the 6 input movements with the associated key.
• KeyBindingsReference.config contains the list of compatible key bindings you can use for your movement.
• NOTE: Ensure that you do not share the same keys between movement and other actions (for example, opening the inventory and moving forward).

Hello, It's been a long time :) and I finally released a new patch to fix some achievements that were not working. Also a few bugs have been fixed on that version. Thanks!

[ 2018-10-30 12:15:57 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello,

A patch that fixes some issues found recently:

• Fixed a problem with the free camera. When the player was falling from a hole and the free cam was used after, the player was teleported to his previous position.
• Blizzard spell had different information between the store and the inventory. It is now fixed.
• Fixed an issue with the loot that you could collect sometimes through the walls.
• Fixed a Culling issue in the Cave lvl 1.
• Fixed an issue in the spell panel for the memorize / remove buttons.
• Now all grates should prevent the player from being able to cast some spells on them.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, This new patch introduces a new language: Spanish. There are also two fixes for the game.

• There was a bug that was preventing you from saving your game if you used to exit the game while in a challenge (not in the DLC).
• We've never seen that before, but a user was able to report a bug where all the creatures in the level were spawned at an infinite position causing all creatures to spawn outside of the world. We now make sure that if that happens, the creatures are respawned at their default position.

Thanks for reporting any new issue you can find.

• Fixed Achievement for Collector

• At the end of the ranger path you now spawn at the correct location

Make sure you have the latest version (BuildID: 938680) Thanks.

Please note that with the new update, you will need to replace the equipped items on your character(s). With the addition of the new slot for the ranged attack, some items have been moved and you will have to remove and add them back so they work correctly. One user had his difficulty level and binding keys reset. EDIT: We just fix that specific issue. Some user might encounter a reset in the key bindings and the language (if they synced prior to this announcement). We apologize for it. New user won't be affected by the issue. If you encounter any issue regarding the new update, please let us know through email at: support a-t hammerglassstudio dot com with a short explanation of the issue. Thanks and sorry for the issue.

Hello everyone,

Here is a new update:

• We added a new slot for the ranged weapons. Many of you requested the ability to have a way to quickly equip a bow / crossbow during combat. Now you can equip a bow / crossbow and another weapon. You will still need to switch between all three of them (default is "x") in order to select the one you want to use (weapon1, weapon2, magic).
• The creature speed has been increased only in hard and insane difficulty. Some of you thought the game was too easy. So now all creatures in these two modes are faster (insane is a little bit faster than hard).
• Reloading the game upon death doesn't penalize your amount of hp anymore. Now that the game reloads automatically, there is no need to have the malus on your HP.
• You can now double click on the spells to equip / unequip them. No need to click on the memorize / remove button if you don't want to.

Hope you enjoy this new version!

Hi, The new version is out, and fixes the map issue. Here are the fixes:

Thanks to Antonín "Arm0r!" Schovanec for his work on the Czech Language. We wanted to share his Youtube account (music composer) here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Rapkix Steam Nickname: Arm0r! <3 Lisa Kelly Thanks!

A new Update!

Here is a new version that will help you avoid two blockers (the key - in a rare situation in the Temple lvl 3 and another situation when falling in another section of the Cave Lvl 1) Here is the list of fixes and improvements:

• The quest for the sample is now fixed.
• The Solid key issue has been fixed. If you managed to reach the Temple lvl3 without collecting all loots, you might have two bags in some of the sections. We updated the loot, but if you saved a previous version, then the loot will be duplicated (safer than deleting your game). If you managed to already open the door (to reach the puzzle with the 4 levers), this fix is not for you.
• In the Caves Lvl1, you could be stuck if you fall in the traps in one of the Mage section. This has been fixed (teleport + falling outside of the world).
• Now when you cast the spell Return Home, you can cast other spells when you reload your level (all spells were disabled).
• Now the spell Return Home is available at the level 10.
• The spell Show Secret is now available at the level 15.
• Stone arrow spell cool down has been lowered.
• Changed spell description for the lightning spells.
• Added a duration description for a few spells.
• Now the spells that you can use to buff your equipement have the proper timing (the duration in the spell panel is also correct now).
• The regeneration spells have been tweaked.
• There was an issue with the potions in the inventory (half of the UI was disappearing). This is now fixed.
• We added the poison potions in the store (there was only the healing and the mana potion).
• Fixed the prices for the potions in the merchant store.
• The "+" icon to let you know you have points to spend in your character is now removed when you press "esc" and have no more points to spend.
• Damages are now rounded correctly (no more decimal).
• We added a dark stone in the Cave lvl1. The respawn is fast and you need to destroy the stone if you don't want to see enemies again :)
• Now in NG+, the player receives more XP than before.
• In Insane, the difficulty has been lowered, but the damages done by the creature are still high.
• Some skeletons had a block ability, it has been removed as they don't have shields.
• The floating stones don't block anymore.
• The bestiary requirements to unlock the creatures have been lowered.

This is it for now, but we still have more items on our list and the map issue hasn't been resolved yet. We hope you like the new fixes and changes. Have a good week-end :)

[ 2015-12-12 06:23:05 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi, We wanted to let you know that an update will be coming soon to fix some of the issues / feedback we had on the forum. For example, the Sample Quest will be fixed, the potions will have their price adjusted, the antidotes will also be available at the store and other smaller things. There is also an issue that doesn't seem to happen all the time. The map is sometimes cleared and you have to move through the level again to unlock all the tiles. We are looking at this issue. But it is hard to reproduce. If you find a way to reproduce it, please let us know! Thanks in advance.

[ 2015-12-11 05:48:27 CET ] [ Original post ]

Quick Update. This version fixes the teleport issues in the Sanctuary Level 3 (if you jump in the holes without closing the traps). This situation could lead to a blocker. Thanks.

[ 2015-12-08 04:34:26 CET ] [ Original post ]

Here is a new update with some changes and fixes based on the community feedback.

List of Changes / Bug fixes

• Now the player can move while looking at the map.
• The player can also move while looking at the inventory.
• The map has now thicker and darker borders.
• Keys weight have been lowered.
• Some quests were not visually setup correctly, this is now fixed.
• When you want to add a note, the title has now the auto focus.
• Fixed some typos in French and English

Thank you!

Small Update:

• Now the name and the picture appear correctly when you create a game for the first time
• We couldn't turn using the keypad before, it has been fixed.
• Fixed some typos in French.

Enjoy!

A new version has been released.

It fixes some issues:

• If you saved on a floor trap, you respawned below it.
• The roaming skeleton quest spawns all the skeletons now.
• Fixed the cursor when you fall through a trap with your cursor on a lever
• We extended the area in the secret room (where the trap bug was happening) next to the door, so even if the trap is opened you can access the chest.
• The lever in the secret area was not properly updating the trap mechanism (even on reload)

We've also add the support for using the keypad (0-9) for your custom keys. Thanks.
