:chopyouup: Is there a list of known issues? Yep, here it is!
I would like to remind you that leaving a review helps the game tremendously in a sense that it will be shown to other players more often. As a small indie game developer it is hard to reach out to others so all the help is more than appreciated!

Courier of the Crypts leaving Early Access soon
Almost four years have passed since the Early Access release and more than a year from the last content update. It has been a long time but there is finally a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. The game is finally leaving the Early Access! Even though there were no update
Almost four years have passed since the Early Access release and more than a year from the last content update. It has been a long time but there is finally a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
The game is finally leaving the Early Access!
Even though there were no updates in more than a year, the development went on, working on plenty of improvements and building all the missing content to bring you the best game the Courier of the Crypts can be, a full-blown adventure!
Transition notes
If you have played the game before or if you are keeping the game on your wishlist, here are some things to consider:

All of your progress from the Early Access version will be lost due to numerous changes in progress saving & world structure. I'm sorry about that!
Current Early Access price will be increased for the release although the exact price is not yet set in stone.
I want to keep the news short and spoiler free but if you have further questions feel free to leave a comment, stop by at the forums or join the official Courier of the Crypts Discord Channel.
Thank you all for patience and for your amazing support, you are the best! :oheart:
See you at the end of the March 2019! ;)

Almost 6 months passed since the last PC content update. At that time I have promised to fix OSX version of the game which wasn't working for most of you who bought it. So first, I would like to apologize to everyone for keeping you waiting this long. At the end of the day I'm 1 man team with full time job so every change/fix/update takes time. I'll do my best to offer better support for MAC users from here on.

Startup crash fix The game didn't work for most of the users and it crashed immediately when launched. Other fixes were done in content updates which are included (you can find more info below).

Content update #9 (original patch notes) - New map - Polishing & fixes
Content update #10 (original patch notes) - New map - Polishing & fixes
OSX version is now synced with PC one (v0.4.0) - both having the same content.
If you still can't launch the game please drop me a line on the forums immediately or contact me directly at [email protected].
Note for everyone
In last six months, the OSX fix is not the only thing I did for the game. Actually, I'm preparing for the final release and a lot of changes and updates were added to the game since then. I listened to all your feedback, watched countless of games played and tried to update the game in accordance with that. Polishing, more interesting puzzles, more secrets, revamp of the whole map selection screen, new maps and more was done and the TODO list is long.
I just wanted to say that the development is not dead as some may think and that the game looks and feels so much better than what is available to you at this phase. I just want to keep it fresh and awesome once it moves out from Early Access.
If you want to discuss the development or want to leave a feedback you are always welcome to drop the line at the forums! I can't make any wish come true but I do process every critic and thought.
Hold tight, the adventure starts soon!
Thank you for staying around,
Primoz the Developer

Last Early Access update before the final release
Like I said, I have some big news for you all. This is the last content update before the release.

And yes, this will be the heaviest update of them all!
With that being said, I'm most likely to release another minor update with some other bug fixes and some other stuff but nothing grand.
MAC users
I didn't forget about you and I feel bad that the first MAC version didn't work for quite some of you but I'm going to fix that now. Update for you will come with the latest content and I will do my best to do more testing prior the release so it really works next time. Thank you for your patience!
What more can we expect for the final release?
Do you remember that long promised post about the future plans? Yes? Well, now I really have to do it. It is too much to write on that matter here so I will leave it for a separate post - soon.
Thank you again for bearing with me through yet another update.
We are getting close, almost there! :oheart:

First of all, I apologize to you all for keeping you waiting! Now I can finaly present to you a new content update (Windows only). After the MAC release the life got busy and I had to work really slow on the new content. It is featuring fresh new enemies, new puzzles and lots of new art - the development took even more time because of that. I hope you will enjoy the update!

Map - The Mines - Adventure will take you even deeper through the deep mines. Labyrinth of mine cliffs, some fresh puzzles and deadly foes are waiting.
Two enemies - I will rather keep it a secret and leave it to you to find them. But they are a fresh addition to the game, enemies for which new skills will be needed.
New font system - new font system was implemented which makes the text more readable and fit for the game.
Reading scrolls updated - with new fonts, the scrolls got an update as well. Now the font is bigger and you will be able to switch the scroll to the backside.
Switching ammo sounds - new sounds were added when switching ammo so you can be more aware of the selection.

Bug fix - Earthquake sound not stopping in Crumbling Halls.
Bug fix - Some graphical glitches fixed.
Bug fix - Some collisions fixed.
Polishing - Piles of coins got a slight gfx improvement.
Polishing - Urn got some additional smoke particles.
Polishing - Additional sounds added / some changed.
Balancing - More apples were added to the Crumbling Halls map since it turned out quite a painful.
Content for the future update is already in the development and there will be some really cool stuff! Plan for it was done 2 years ago and to give you some hints, there will be a new environment and new enemies. If possible, I will release 2 maps together since they are tied to each other. I'm excited to start working on it actively!
As I've promised in the past, I will publish an article with my plans for the future of the game and what exact is my vision.
Until then, have a lot of fun and if you feel like it, leave me some feedback. I love to hear everyone out, always!
MAC users: I can't say when exactly I will make this update available for you. I'm sorry for that but I will keep you updated!
Best regards,
Primoz
