An Update on Early Access
Since the first Alpha playtests, our vision for Six Temples has expanded. With your help during playtesting, we found some things that work really well and others that don’t. At this point, we know exactly what we want Six Temples to be: a magical Strategy game set in a massive o

JUST A PEEK
We’ve been spending long days and nights inside Camel Cup Labs cooking up the next update for Six Temples, and we wanted to give you a preview of how things are shaping up. The Open Beta until now has focused on combat, but we hope you’re ready to take things to a whole new level! [previewyoutube=JKYreYrN3as;full][/previewyoutube]
A BRAND NEW WORLD
The next update’s main focus is bringing a sprawling new map to Six Temples. At over 400 sq. km, the world of Six Temples rivals the largest open worlds in scale, and it will be playable from end to end without any loading zones, boundaries, or artificial limits. We’re working hard to have a preview of the entire world, in all its beauty, ready for Early Access soon.
CUSTOM CHARACTERS
Also coming in the next update, the new character creator lets you customize your characters in any way you can imagine. From a dwarfish strongman to a slender princess, create the facial features, body size, skin tone, and sex of your choice. You can start creating and customizing characters as soon as the next update releases, which will remain in your account through full release.
A LIVING LANDSCAPE
The new map includes multiple biomes, river systems, a vast sea, a smaller sea, mountain ranges, and more, spread over hundreds of miles. We can’t show off the full map just yet, but believe us when we say it’s massive. Each server's world will remain online indefinitely, allowing your characters to freely build and change the world, as the game progresses toward victory on the grandest scale!
THE NEXT LEVEL OF STRATEGY
With the new world, a new Grand Strategy mode is coming to Six Temples, but this is not your typical grand strategy game. Supporting up to 100-250 players per server and private servers as well as public servers, Six Temples will be played over the course of days, weeks, or months depending on the community of each server.
NEXT UP
We will be revealing much more of the open world, character creator, and more over the next few weeks, as we sail toward the Open World Preview launch! You can expect to hear from us soon:

This small patch fixes a few bugs we found in Update 0.6.5, and adds improvements to Combat and UI. Expect significant new changes, improvements, and a good deal of new content in our next Major Update, slated for next week!
COMBAT

EFFECTS IMPROVEMENTS
We added a comprehensive new system to handle hit impact effects on various surface types, including flesh, armor, wood, sand, bone, and many more! For example, striking Skeleton Warriors now produces a cloud of bone dust, and a corresponding bone-crunching sound effect. The system also applies to footstep impacts with various surface types, producing highly satisfying dust clouds, splashes, and other effects as you traverse each map. Now that this system is in place, we plan to improve the look and feel of impacts throughout the game with custom particles and other effects. Expect much more in the next major update! In addition to the new impact effects, we've tweaked audio in other areas including UI and Hero sounds.
AI IMPROVEMENTS
As part of a future update coming in May, we updated the AI behavior logic for both AI players and mobs to address issues we noticed in Duel games.

Threat radius adjusted for mobs to recognize players sooner
Behavior commitment logic adjusted for AI players to reassess threats and other goals more frequently, so they are less single-minded on existing goals

COMBAT IMPROVEMENTS

Adjusted the Executioner's Axe and Count's Impaling Stake to improve hit detection

UI IMPROVEMENTS

Added new HUD indicators to show locations of Relics in Fortify games
Increased max visibility distance of teammates' names and health bars to better see your team's position on the map

BUGS FIXED

Major bug affecting some AMD Radeon GPUs has been resolved, allowing the affected GPUs to launch the game
Custom Game setup menu would set default team size incorrectly for Duel games
Picking up items in Custom Games would not play a sound
Opening the Pause Menu during the Match Countdown would place it behind the countdown
Being Dazed while in the air would sometimes cause the Dazed affect to be applied every time you land from a jump thereafter
Notification messages would sometimes be displayed multiple times in Custom Games
Landing from a jump would sometimes apply a permanent lean to your character

Major Update 0.6.4 - New Faces, New Arena

NEW FACES
You may have noticed a certain lack of female charm in the Six Temples cast of heroes. Well, that ends today as we proudly announce two new heroes! Entering the battle for the first time are:
The Hunter - The cunning and beautiful Hunter brings the ancient art of archery to Six Temples. She has all the qualities you'd expect from an experienced hunter: she can set Traps and comes armed with Hunting Knives. Don't even think about trying to sneak up on her. Her ultimate moves equip her with Fire Arrows and Exploding Arrows that can take down even the most well-armored opponent.
The Priestess - Rounding out the Hero roster (for now), the benevolent Priestess has a dedicated Healing Staff to fix all your boo-boo's, and her healing Ultimate Abilities help ensure her fellow teammates remain on their feet.

NEW ARENA MAP
We've added a new game mode featuring a smaller arena map, and it's the perfect mode to play if you've got a score to settle with someone. The new Duel mode features 1v1 competition on a new, purpose-built map, Karabah. The first player to reach 6 points by scoring kills on the other wins the match, while Ultimate Abilities and items remain available. We like this map/mode because it easily pushes 144fps, and really lets you feel out the timing of the Directional Melee Combat system (read: you will be on your toes trying to block the Insane Mode AI). Duel is now available in Online and Offline modes, and auto-populates with AI players of varying difficulty levels, so jump in and give it a shot!
MORE UPDATES
Combat System
Blocking, Parrying, and Stunning have been reworked to allow split-second reactions on successful blocks.
Knockdowns and other physical effects are now more accurately based on the strength and realistic weapon weight of each Hero.
Air attacks and rolling dodges are now possible. Find the keyboard/controller bindings in the Settings menu.
Bug Fixes
Fixed bug where Hero Selection screens would run at reduced framerate
Fixed bug with 'Invert Y Axis Look Direction' setting
Fixed bug where Heroes would draw their weapons twice on the Main Menu
Fixed bug with Nameplates over player's heads, where nameplates would sometimes not appear
Too many more to list, check out the Patch Notes here!

Jumping and Dodging
Key bindings for both Jumping and Dodging are now available in Settings. Just look for "Jump" and "Dodge" respectively. These should default to:

Jump - Space Bar / Bottom Face Button

UI Bugs & Improvements

Fixed bug where Relic captures in Fortify games would sometimes not update on the scoreboard HUD
Added option to close the "Join Server" dialog when connecting to a server
Fixed issue where Hero Selection screen would sometimes fail to load the Hero

Gameplay Bugs & Improvements

Practice Mode - Fixed bugs with spawning into games and selecting Heroes. All 3 game modes (Fortify, Skirmish, and Duel) are now available to play in Practice mode, with customizable NPC settings allowing up to 32 NPCs per game.
Ultimate XP gain increased in Fortify games to allow reaching in-game Ultimate Levels faster

VFX/SFX Bugs & Improvements

Fully updated animations for the Count's Rapier
Fixed bug where some characters would have flat/unlit textures on Low settings
Fixed bug with Healing Potions that would cause them to grow in size when activated

Known Bugs

Changing Settings on the Main Menu sometimes results in a "Load Error" that reloads the menu
The presets in Video Settings do not match the currently set values the first time the game is launched
Heroes appear to begin drawing their weapon twice when loading into the Main Menu or a new game

We are proud to announce the release of our biggest update yet! While the core of the game remains the same, we've added several new features that place Six Temples in a genre of its own. The new update includes gruesome and terrifying mobs, a skill progression system, treasure and item upgrades, as well as several combat system improvements. These changes are all results of your beta testing feedback. We thank everyone who has downloaded and played the beta for their valuable feedback as we approach the Early Access release of Six Temples on Steam. If you haven’t joined the beta yet, now’s your last chance as we are entering the final Closed Beta phase of Six Temples before Early Access launched on April 17th. Join the beta here and don’t forget to join our Discord!
MOBS, BOSSES, AND TREASURE
Mobs – Dynamic skeleton mobs guard new graveyards. These graveyards must be captured by each team, and once captured, the skeletons will join the team. I guess loyalty doesn't exist in the afterlife.
Bosses – The intimidating Sultan of Greed guards each team's respective Temple and protects its treasure. Defeating the Sultan brings instant victory to the attacking team. Beware, he's no pushover!
Treasure – Mobs that spawn throughout the map drop treasure once defeated, which can be redeemed at the Temple for valuable items that will turn the tide of battle!

COMBAT JUST GOT REAL
Dazing – Charge up your main attack by holding down the attack button to unleash a powerful strike on your opponent which might leave him dazed. Landing a hit on an opponent has a chance to leave him dazed for 1-3 seconds, or it can completely send him flying!
Parrying – Parrying and Attack Canceling have been added to improve combat, both in terms of fun and balance. Parrying an attack provides you with a 1-second opening to strike your opponent, while Attack Canceling occurs when two players attack each other at the same time, thus canceling both attacks and causing a 1-second combat delay.
A Hit is a Hit – Vastly improved hit detection means your strikes hit where you intended them to hit.
Physically Accurate - Improved hit reactions and physics-powered animations give a more visceral and realistic feel to combat.

SKILLS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR

Skills – Six Temples now has an in-game skill progression system! Gain XP levels by killing mobs, looting treasure, and defeating opponents from the other team.
Paths– As you gain XP levels, you can further progress through your hero's unique skill paths, unlocking unique abilities to use in each match. Skills are chosen and upgraded within each match (not permanently), so you can roll Heroes exactly how you like them in each situation.

THIS ISN’T THE ALKAZAR I KNOW

Temple DIY – We've overhauled Acropolis, now called Alkazar, to fit the massive Sultan who now lives in the map's resplendent temples. He made us do it and we were not in a position to say no.
Graveyards and Fortifications – As mentioned previously, we've added one forward respawn area for each team, a neutral zone, and many new walls and defensive points.
More is Better – We've increased the default players per team to 16 to achieve better density on the map. Now it's a party!

BOT GET SMARTER?

Noob or Pro – Thanks to player feedback regarding bots, we were able to determine that the bots in the game were just not cutting it. Now bots may spawn with one of four possible difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and INSANE. Bots will now provide more of a challenge and act more human-like, which sounds pretty scary now that I think about it.
What’s in a Name? – Massive thanks to our community for coming up with some clever and unique bot names, which are now being added to the game! You guys are really creative.

UP NEXT
The major updates to Six Temples are far from finished. What's next?

Group Features – We're finally at a point where we feel comfortable with the core systems and frameworks behind Six Temples, such as combat, skills, and stats. That said, there are a few major things like Matchmaking and Parties still to come.
Quality Updates, Lots of Them – Now that the base of the game is substantially completed, we can start devoting much more time to the little things that make the game shine. We're excited to fully update the HUD and UI, animations, visual effects, and sound effects where needed.
New Heroes – The sagely Priestess and the cunning Hunter will soon be available to play, rounding out the first 8 heroes of Six Temples!
Anything in particular you want to see? Let us know. We're listening!

Update 6 is focused on technical improvements and bugs found during last weekend’s play test. After implementing several major changes to the game last week, we’ve continued to smooth out graphical and gameplay bugs.
GRAPHICS

Character hair and eye shaders have been optimized to add realism.
Character skin shaders have been improved to add realism.
Resolved a major shader issue that affected lighting of all Hero characters.
The Barbarian’s sword has been updated to a cleaner look.

GAMEPLAY

Relics can now be dropped by pressing F, or by attempting to Attack.
You can now sprint while carrying Relics, up to a maximum speed of approximately 80% of normal sprint speed.
You can now switch between items/weapons instantly (animation time not considered).
Charged-up Attacks have been completely refactored to allow more control. We will be fine-tuning the animations more.
Added Sprint Toggle key binding in addition to the default “Hold to Sprint” key binding. Sprint Toggle is enabled by default on controllers on Left Thumbstick Button (L3).
Healing Fountains are now much more effective (an error in the last update made them heal only 1 HP per second).

BUG FIXES

Relics: Particle effects will disappear while Relics are being carried, for ease of visibility. Relics emit a visible particle effect anywhere else on the map.
Relics: Fixed issues with character deformation when bringing relics into water.
Mercenary: Fixed animation blend issue when running forward-left.
Resolved issue where falling into the ocean as a ragdoll would depossess the player.
Resolved issue where Team voice channels were not working.

ROADMAP
The next major update will feature a number of important changes, including:

New Hero Characters – The Shaman, The Count, and The Executioner
HUD and Menu Screens – Complete overhaul
Please bear with us if this next update is 2-3 weeks away, as there is a lot of new content involved in these changes.
We are also working actively on performance optimization and graphics settings that will help make the game playable on most PCs and laptops.

Private Beta - Update 5 is now live on Private Beta servers, marking the beginning of Private Beta Wave 2! With this update we introduced multiple new elements, which we think significantly improve the flow and feel of the game. As always, we welcome your feedback through our Discord community and in-game Feedback Report.
Directional Melee
In Build 5 we made significant improvements to the combat system. In particular we added the ability to swing melee weapons in a given direction, along with the ability to direct Blocks toward a given direction. The melee weapon wielding Heroes (currently Barbarian and Mercenary) each have four directions they can attack: Left, Right, Overhead (Up), and Forward (Down). Using each of these attacks is as simple as moving the mouse in the corresponding direction while executing an Attack (or moving Right Stick on controller). Overview

The new directional combat system has four key attack directions: Left, Right, Overhead (Up), and Thrust (Down).
Directional blocking corresponds to the same four directions.
To successfully block an incoming attack, the block must be made in the same direction as the attack.

'Fortified' Game Mode
The Fortified game mode features 24 players on 2 teams, each with a Temple on one end of the map. Throughout the game, teams need to recover magic Relics from the interior of the map, bringing them back to their Temple to gain points and improve their defenses. The first team to activate all the relics available on the map inside their own Temple wins the game. Overview

Magical Relics spawn in the map on certain intervals
Bringing Relics back to your home Temple scores points and activates special defensive abilities

Acropolis Update
The Acropolis map has been heavily redesigned. In addition to a fixed 2-temple format, the map now includes 7 small "zones" that can be captured by either team, providing passive bonuses while held.

Healing Fountains: Areas where the controlling team will gain passive health regeneration.
Power Zones: Areas where the controlling team will gain passive Power regeneration.
Graveyard: Serves as a forward Respawn Point for the controlling team.

Bug Fixes
There are so many minor improvements and changes that it would be exhausting to list them here, but we focused changes in several major areas, including:

Character Assets: Significant updates and changes to character clothing, hair, cloth simulation, and other assets
HUD/User Interface: Updates to sound effects, sizing, and positioning of UI elements on screen
Items: Picking up, using, and running with Items is much smoother
Environment: Fixed numerous issues with lighting and shaders affecting the appearance of landscape textures; updates to sound effects, bounds, water
