Dear fans,
Thank you for playing One Way Heroics.
We have a new update for the game today.
It might not look that different, but there have been several big internal changes including an upgrade to the game engine, so if you encounter any problems or notice anything strange during gameplay, please contact us here on the Steam forums:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/266210/discussions/0/3810659494971526626/
Updates:

[OWH/OWH+] The game engine has been updated. - Overall processing speed and startup time has been improved - In-game text will now be rendered in Unicode (UTF-8) - However, characters that are incompatible with the font will still not display properly - The game now behaves differently on the character naming screen. Now, you can continue typing even if you exceed the character limit, but when you press Enter to confirm, the text will be cut off at the character limit. - Save files created after this update will have a different format than previous saves. This will not cause any problems as long as you're playing the newest version on Steam, but if you're playing on a different platform, your older saves may not load properly when they're copied over. - The system requirements for the game have changed. Windows 2000, XP, and Vista have been removed, and Windows 11 has been added to the list of compatible systems.
[OWH/OWH+ English version only] The in-game text will now display in a similar but different font when your system locale is set to Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, or Korean. This was added because of an issue that caused the text to overflow off-screen in these locales.
[OWH/OWH+] We tried to fix the bug where the text log would sometimes fail to show up.
You can now choose to forgo using the game launcher and instead launch the game in the Steam client from the Steam launch options.
Thank you, and we hope you continue to enjoy the game!

[OWH/OWH+] Added a buffer period after using certain items. This was to fix the issue where the enemy’s turn starts right after using certain items, causing the recovery amount to overlap with enemy damage amount which leads to poor visibility.
