Greetings, Wanderers.
We want to thank you all again for your continued feedback and support for Gord. Your input has been invaluable and has been the driving force in these recent updates.
Today, we're happy to launch patch 1.3 on PC. This update addresses some of the most requested changes by the community, and has a big focus on automation and micromanagement. Once applied to your game, you should see a big reduction in how much you need to hand hold your populace. They should automatically return to work, automatically go to the Balia and Meadery to replenish Health and Sanity, run from danger and much more. A lot of these changes are optional and can be turned on/off in the subject info panel.
We hope this update improves your experience of Gord, and can't wait to hear what you all think! You can find the full list of changes below.
New features
Automatically leaving Balia and Meadery when recovered - Subjects will automatically leave Balia or Meadery when their Health or Sanity is fully recovered.

This is now a basic subject behavior and can be interrupted by issuing any other order.

Automatic Combat Assistance toggle - It is now possible to turn combat assistance behavior on or off for every subject. This behavior makes the subject engage in combat that is happening in their vicinity.
Automatic Recovery of Health and Sanity inside gord - Subjects will automatically go to Balia or Meadery when they are idling inside gord for about a minute.
Automatic Sanity and Health recovery during gathering – When subjects Sanity is below 25% and Health below 45% at the moment of depositing resources, they will first try to recover those parameters to at least 80% before continuing work. There is an additional toggle added to the Subject Info Panel that allows you to turn these automations off.
Automatic Health recovery during gathering - When subjects receive damage during the gathering process and their Health drops below 45%, they will Panic Run back to the gord to recover their Health to 80% before resuming their work.
Better communicating items rarity on levels -Rarity of items in treasures is now indicated by color of their lightbeam.
Updated Minimap - Minimap frame is now smaller with an additional filtering button that allows filtering of particular resources and separates Herbs from other pickables. Places where combat is happening are now marked on the Minimap. Minimap doesn't hide when Subject Info Panel is open.
Smaller Subject Info panel - Subject Info Panel takes less space on the HUD than previously and is no longer covering the Minimap when opened. Also, automation toggles were added to its top right corner.
Easier item exchange - Subjects no longer need to stand near each other to exchange items.
Exchanging items by drag and drop - it is now possible to exchanging items by dragging them from inventory to another subject on the level.
Selecting target of order by clicking on portrait - It is now possible to select target of the order or incantation by clicking RMB on subject's portrait.

We wanted to update you on our plan moving forwards, which is to look through all the hot topics and implement fixes to important systems as soon as we can. We’re also going to include a permanent demo so that everyone can play before purchase.

The origins of the Whisperers was described best on the pages of the Chronicle:
Dolya is fair! She is full of wisdom and might! Praise be to Dolya until the end of time, as there is no friend of the humans greater than her!
Angered by the deeds of the gods, Dolya went to choose her best warriors. Having recognised her, they knelt by her feet and swore loyalty, and she put her hands to their heads. The minds of humankind, however, are unfathomable, and it was impossible to tell who was worthy of Dolya's teachings.
Thus, she did not pour her power into them and instead connected them with gods by a marvellous thread that resembled a root growing into fertile soil to drink its juices. They could henceforth draw the power from the gods, and those more zealous in their faith could achieve even more. To allow them to make use of this blessing, Dolya taught them the language of the gods so that they could weave their new power into any shape they desired.
And since this power was enormous, they took an oath to keep it secret and always uttered their spells under their breath: this was why they were called Whisperers.
And we are their descendants, and they spoke Dolya's godly words into our ears. Praise be to our ancestors!
