Improvement

Added FPS limitation, to have an effective limitation the slider must be set to 59 or lower.
The player's voice sounds when jumping take into account voice sounds instead of effects.
It is possible to put the quest area on the right of the screen with an opaque background.
In the spellbook, purchasable spells are grayed out if the player does not yet have the required stats to learn them.
In the upgrade spell window, spells that can rank up are grayed out if the player does not have enough scroll to rank up them.
Bug fix

It is no longer possible to get stuck in the mountain brigand terrain between the stairs and the terrain to retrieve a shard of Ortharion. Pylons in the same area remain constantly visible.
The monster fireballs on the way to the big bridge make less noise.
In Lone Wolf game mode, items that are stored in the chest are correctly saved.
Runes that add energy are correctly removed.
When you click on a quest on the interface on the right side of the screen, the quest log opens with the correct quest directly.

A new game has been in production for some time, you can find information about it as well as add it to your wishlist:
Ortharion : The Last Battle
The game is currently in the Pre-Alpha phase and will be in development for about 1 year before going into Early access, so late 2022 see early 2023.
The game will be an improvement of Ortharion Project, here is a non-exhaustive list of additions or modifications that will be made:

Top quality, I put it first in the list for reasons that I think are obvious, especially for those who have played Ortharion Project.
Land 4 times larger and more numerous than on Ortharion Project, for a game size approximately 10 times greater than the current Ortharion Project.
Choices that have consequences, allowing you or not to win "The Last Battle".
A ranking system between players, "speed Run" and a game system with season and off season. There will therefore be aspects of multiplayer, but the game will not allow you to play several at the same time and the game can always be played without an internet connection.
An adventurer's guild management, with a crafting system. You can ask certain adventurers to become your adventure companions.
A rethinking combat system, some research allowed me to see that the type of movement, of camera management that I envision the most would be close to Elyon, on which I intend to be inspired.
Improved exploration, with fog of war, of terrains using more verticality, with much larger interior areas, hidden areas to discover, puzzles requiring knowledge of the world.
A system of specialization further push, Choose 7 subclasses from the 30 in total offered, with talent trees for each subclass for greater diversity.
Added many new stats with Tier stats like on Path of Exile and a more advanced crafting system.
Do not hesitate if you have any questions / suggestions, if you ever have something that you did not like about Ortharion Project that you would like to see completely rethought.

Some changes to the orientation of the game:

The game on the combat / non-combat phase changes was too easy to exploit, the non-combat phases allowing for too much stamina as well as health and Mana regeneration, favoring a very aggressive approach and killing pack by pack. The goal instead is to give you the choice of how to play: pack by pack or always staying in combat so with builds more based on the ability to dodge, block or inflict large amounts of damage depending on the number enemies around you.
The choice of builds was often oriented with 1 or 2 active skills then several buffs / aura / passive spells, the goal instead would be to make builds with several skills as strong as the builds that are played only with buffs.
New content

Added loot filter and automatic loot pickup.
Added 26 runes.
Added 2 new talents, one of which allows you to use enhancement spells without the use of animation, so very profitable combined with auto-cast.
The player can start the game in "lone wolf" mode in which case all of the player's progression systems are individual.
Chests with better loot rewards are available but their openings also create monsters all around the player, there are usually 2 or 3 per land in random locations.
The player can choose to run wave missions with a certain number of waves as well as determine the time between each monster call if the current wave is not totally destroyed.
Addition of 9 achievements, including 2 related to the lone wolf game mode, these 2 specific achievements can only be performed in lone wolf mode but are beneficial to the entire account unlike other achievements earned in lone wolf game mode which will not benefit the rest of the account.
Improvements

The player will lose the saves of those specific runes, which are categorized differently in the rune window, as several balance changes have been made.
It is possible to let the dash spell press to relaunch it.
Dungeons now earn additional gear and use the same interface as quest and mission rewards.
It is possible to directly restart a mission, a dungeon or return to the camp after having done a mission or a dungeon.
In wave missions it is not possible to have more than 50 monsters present at the same time, in this case the counter before the next wave pauses.
Performance improvement when fighting with a lot of enemies, changes still need to be made.
Change in the descriptions of the loading pages to give only interesting information.
Allied NPCs find enemies to attack faster after they've just killed an enemy.
Addition of a teleporter in the desert, it will necessarily be active for all characters.
Spells that absolutely require a target are easier to use with near target recognition if you don't have a primary target.
Weapons and equipment are sorted by subcategory from the inventory.
Camera shakes can be removed from the options.
The aiming zones on the ground remain visible if the player keeps the spell pressed.

Rune of non-sacrifice for the mana spell of sacrifice: energy used changed from -100% to -50%.
Duration buff runes are available for spells that have a very short duration, such as invulnerability.

Rune of the Area Multiplier grants 50% area damage size instead of 2 yards.

Spell balances-nerf :

Invulnerability: Resource cost + 120%, Cooldown: changed from 40 to 50 seconds, damage reduced by 80% instead of 100%. The goal is to make it not possible to have him 100% of the time active with 100% damage reduction.
Shield of the Weak: Damage bonus increased from + 40% to + 32%.
Improved speed: Resource cost + 25%, Cooldown changed from 30 to 25 seconds. Attack speed increased from 25% to 22.5% at max level, with level 1 not being hit.
Progressive Power: Maximum stack increased from 8 to 6.
Mana trance: level 1 with 1 stack causes a loss of 0.4 mana per second instead of 1, but causes a loss of 1.4 instead of 1 at maximum level and the spell is lost if the mana drops below 20% instead of 5% and works fine.
Unison with the Forest:% Life regeneration and% Mana per second have been reduced by 50%.
Sorcerer: The damage bonus at maximum level has been reduced from 36% to 8.4% per stack active on the player. The total damage bonus with a good build remains among the best you can get even after the nerf.

Gear: Cooldown reduction from + 23% on average at level 100 to + 16%.
Various balancing:

The difference in Energy and Vitality stats has been reduced for class selection, for example, the maximum being 8 Energy for 6 Vitality instead of 4 Energy for 10 Vitality.
Damage + 80% and life + 20% for level 1 monsters, the difference becomes less as you level up and is closer to + 0% at level 5.
There is no longer a difference in stamina management when the player is in combat or out of combat. Base stamina at level 1 has been reduced by 20%, so it's an up for when the player is in combat and a nerf for non-combat phases. The number visible on the character description now actually matches what the player earns per second.
Enemies have + 30% additional range to follow the player before they are inactive again.
Granock Forest Mushrooms can be sold for 50 gold.

1.2 is under development and should be released between the last week of June and the first week of July and here are the highlights what you'll find there. Other improvements will be added but you will discover all in patch 1.2.

Added loot filter and added auto pickup option.
The player can directly redo the missions or dungeon when he has finished an area.
Missions may have factors defined by the player before starting.
Chests protected by waves of monsters will be available randomly in several maps. Difficulty such as number of waves, number of monsters and type of monsters will not be disclosed to the player but will influence the rewards present in the chest.
New runes will be added with more spell-specific runes. Spell-specific runes will be visible differently on the choice of spell runes and new runes will be added.
A new mode of character creation: "Lone Wolf" which will allow you to create a character who will have his own chest and achievements. Achievements specific to this game mode will be created to benefit the rest of the account.
The backups will be done locally and no longer on the registry editor, normally allowing the use of steam cloud and slightly improving load times. However, tests still need to be carried out before we can be sure of doing so.
Improved aiming systems with individual target projectiles and spells.

Toggle option to add camera Invert rotation X and Y.
Toggle option to add Camera "free" zoom in and out.
Added information on learning classes.
Runes now use intial value for restriction instead of actual value avoiding seeing runes that no longer work when your character gets better.
The chances of having magic items during the missions become multiplying factors instead of additional ones, so the rewards of the missions on the higher level of difficulty will be more profitable and conversely the missions on the lower level of difficulty will give less rewards. Level 10 to 3 star before: + 310% goes to + 250%. Level 100 to 3 stars before: +550% goes to +750%.

The next update should be the 1.2 which I will announce next week.
Improvement

Summons created by the player persist when loading a new area.

Quest and NPC balances:

The Dash spell is given by the 2nd quest of the game with the ghost escort.

There is no longer worn platform, avoiding getting stuck sometimes.
Some parts in the desert have been reworked, courses removed so as not to encourage the player to go to certain places.
Access to the dungeon has been reduced from level 26 to 16, the number of Ortharion required has not been changed.
Items obtained from vendors and as rewards from quests have the chance to drop higher quality items.
Chance to improve an item's rarity at the Enchanter has been increased from 40% to 35%.

Bug fixes:

The game no longer crashes when the rarity of multiple items is improved at the Enchanter.
The player is no longer frozen or stunned when dead, which then prevented proper resuscitation.
The player is no longer stuck under certain conditions upon death, so the interface to resurrect is displayed correctly.
The IDs of Ortharion shards in the Forest of the Dead cave have been corrected.
Both "Fire Aura" and "Cold Armor" spells can properly activate runes linked to them, such as Burn, Frostbite, and Freeze on enemies.
The 3 successes related to killing any monsters in the game can be performed correctly.
The options are correctly saved before launching the arena.
It is no longer possible to repurchase certain items sold several times.
Blood stains on the screen are properly removed when the player is resurrected.
Energy shield takes into account the energy shield bonus to 100% regeneration
Sounds that are played at the player's location no longer create an orientation problem in space, before that if the player moved left some sounds could be heard on the right.
The rate increases on the different uses of spells are taken into account directly, thus avoiding problems when the player has a very high value in attack speed or cast speed.
It is no longer possible to change the stats of "defense", "power", "life" "minimum damage", "maximum damage", "block", "block recovery" and "blocked damage" from the enchanter. .
Chain fire correctly stops when the 4th animation is performed.
The talent "Freeze of Death" is working correctly.
The block recovery time bonus is taken into account correctly so blocks will be correctly performed every 3 seconds or so if a block is possible.
The talent "mana regeneration and lives on the move" has a maximum level of 1 and is functioning correctly.
Some spells that are activated by talents are correctly recharged and can therefore be reused.
Fixed a bug on equipment spells that were triggered based on maximum stack of upgrade spells, such as understanding spell book spellings.
Fixed weakened armor text bug.
Item enhancement at the Enchanter now correctly grants 15% set spell + spell on gear upgrade instead of 100%.
On the stat change in the Enchanter it is no longer possible to have stats for weapons on the spell books and shield.
Damage taken from weakened armor is correctly accounted for.
It is no longer possible to apply buff, debuff, damage over time effects to dead people, preventing the player from starting with burns or slows, for example.
Enemies always regain their places when the player dies.
Dungeon bosses correctly orient themselves towards the player as they move.
The rune of multi-projectile is only available for multi-projectile.
The stamina cost of the dash is correctly reduced by leveling up.
Quest, Achievement, and Tutorial UI views are still correctly visible in their entirety.

1.1 should be released between April 5 and 15 and here is the work done in recent weeks with some new information.
I am only putting the most interesting changes here, an update note will be made when 1.1 is released.
If you missed the previous announcements, it's here:
1.1 in progress 1/3
1.1 in progress 2/3

Correction of the movement system, I am talking here only of collisions and management of jumps. Many parameters have been revised and several features completely redone.
Talent tree modified, navigation will be easier, visuals have been added on the talents that you have already learned, as well as on the talents that you have completed. The talent tree will be available from the 1st Ortharion Shard collected, allowing players to have more points to distribute.
22 new talents, the talent tree has therefore been reset.
Talent refund, you will be able to refund your talent points for a small amount of gold with a single click.

Added 9 equipment spells.
Added 14 runes.
Added 16 gems.
Added 9 spells.
Added a consumable that will allow you to repair your items with low durability.
Changed the visuals of 8 spells, mostly ice.
27 bug fixes, or all of what was known.
A new object improvement interface, it will allow you to add or modify the powers, set and bonus level of your epic and legendary equipment.
I also made many changes to the balances as well as additions for a better quality of play.
What remains to be done :

Still 2 to 3 days of improvements.
Complete the prototypes of the missions with offensive and defensive turrets.
Settle the difficulties and rewards of the missions.
Improve the decorations of the dungeon rooms, I will do a test on progressive discovery with a fog of war for the dungeons but I do not promise anything.
Have fun

1.1 in progress : 2/3
1.1 continues to progress and here is the work done in recent weeks with some new information. If you missed the 1st announcement of 1.1 it's here 1.1 in progress 1/3 New visibility on the spellbook , you will be able to see all the spells available in play at any time and the sp
1.1 continues to progress and here is the work done in recent weeks with some new information.
If you missed the 1st announcement of 1.1 it's here 1.1 in progress 1/3

New visibility on the spellbook, you will be able to see all the spells available in play at any time and the spells have been classified in order to be more quickly identifiable.

Spells can be learned directly from the spellbook, provided you pay a more or less important amount, advanced class spells for example will cost less.
Autocast, some improvement spells can be used directly by checking an option from the spellbook (autocast).
This new management is not only visual but above all technical: the fights will have to turn much more easily at 60 FPS, the difference is easily visible with high level characters.
Spells will benefit from bonus levels, you can have them on new gems, new talents or on your equipment. Equipment that already has a power, set, or both will be less likely to have bonus levels. Bonus levels will not apply to all spells.
I will do the new item creation interface as well as adding content for the next two weeks and a new announcement.
I have already planned these new content, there should be:

20 new talents
8 new epic and legendary gear
10 new spells
16 new runes
15 new gems
6 new consumables, this is not potion but a more specific item.
I'm not talking about the minor bugs and improvements that are already done here, you will have a real note updates when 1.1 is released in early April.

1.1 in progress

Version 1.1 has been in progress for almost a month now and a lot of work remains to be done, 1.1 will be after February, probably end of March.
Here's a preview of what you'll see:
New visuals and new lights
I am using a new version of software and rendering, allowing to improve performance, use more assets that were not compatible with the versions and renderings that I was using before, but all of the renderings had to be redone for the game, asking me a lot of work but which should save me later, because less bugs on my software, less compilation time for debugs, less problems technical because easier to use, it should also allow access to visual rendering options.
Change on terrain
Procedural dungeons have been removed, leaving room for non-procedural areas, areas are larger, with new rooms, old rooms have been upgraded, shadows have been improved, there will be no more enemies under the ground nor inactive enemy, with a great performance improvement on the graphics card.
Adventurer missions
A new terrain is available, designed for a new game mode: Adventurer missions, you will have missions promoting the creation of certain builds, with a dedicated progression system.
This is what this new terrain looks like, with the new light rendering due to the version change:
The missions currently under test are:

Kill a maximum of enemies in 5 minutes.
Destroy structures defended by enemies.
Protect structure.
Protect turrets.
The more you perform, the more you will be rewarded.
These 4 categories don't stop there, enemies can have behavior modifiers such as only attacking structures, turrets can benefit from your healing and aura enhancement, areas to protect can be scattered around the map , the higher your level of adventurer, the more it will be necessary to specialize.
Various improvement
In addition to these three main changes which are already finished many other changes will emerge, thank you to everyone who gave me their feedback on the Steam Community.
Here is a list of some changes that I wanted to share with you but the list doesn't end there:

A new NPC, create the equipment of your dreams, the more the number of specifical stats you want, the more the amount requested will be.
The Rune Vendor will sell you runes you don't have, depending on the rarity you want.
The Scroll Vendor may sell you random scrolls specific to your class, or one of your evolutions.
Unlocking a new class will give you the spells corresponding to the class.
Added specific Lightning, Nature, and Physical talent and other one.
Have the possibility to withdraw talent points.
New consumables, such as increased item level or repaired durability.
Have blocking-based builds, with an "unblockable / blockable" character state, added shield category with very fast small shields wich can block less damage, and slower shields wich can block more damage .
Having builds based on the energy shield, therefore with a character state "on recharge / recharged" bringing new possibilities.
New mana management: A stable state that you already know, a "out of mana" state and finally an "overload" state where your mana overflows you and increases less easily.
As explained above this is only a part of the new content, new legendary runes, spells and gear will also be added.
On top of that I have a list of 85 quality of life / bugs / changes to make the game more polish than it is currently.
Have fun
