Update 1.2015.06.13 - Particles
Some of you may have noticed particle effects in the old Shadow Hunter video, but not in the game. Welp... that's because somewhere along the line I was doing some work, and forgot to turn them back on. So... now they're back! :) I still want to do some work on them, because I th

Update 1.2015.06.12 - Fear Conversion
Hi all, This one is a bit of a game changer. So, you might want to create a new Initiate (no need to reset the world). The main feature of this update is to introduce "Removing Tiles of their Fear" (i.e. removing courage costs from them), by chaining Combos. This will also lead m

Upcoming Update - Courage
Hello everyone! So, I've been reading a ton by the lot of you... and really liked the input I've received (both good and bad)! Based on this, I've decided to divert and take the game down one of the original design roads I had planned. Here is some of what's on the upcoming chang
Hello everyone!
So, I've been reading a ton by the lot of you... and really liked the input I've received (both good and bad)! Based on this, I've decided to divert and take the game down one of the original design roads I had planned.
Here is some of what's on the upcoming change log...
::UPCOMING CHANGES AND ADDITIONS::

Added Beacons. For 1000 gold, you can toss a Beacon into an area to receive extra hints. This will help set up combos, and level the playing field.
Food has been Removed! No more Starvation or Soup for joo!
You now have Courage... and all actions require it!
You no longer run out of Torches and Stones. Using these items now cost Courage. Fail, and you lose a little faith. Prevail, and you gain more than when you started.
Some areas require Courage to walk on... some none at all.
Courage is awarded when you win a Logic or Memory Puzzle. Your wits should carry you.
Aside from Searching... Everything that requires Courage, has a Logic or Memory Puzzle associated with it.
Replaced Info Font with something easier to read.
Replaced Menu Font with something easier to read.
Increased chance for a searchable wall to appear.
Decreased chance for random Shadow Scroll quest.
Added more descriptive Event Card Text.
Changed Unlock Bonus Base payout to 100gp
You now gain Courage when winning a battle.
You now gain Courage when unlocking a door.
Changed bonus gold base for using the exit stairs, from 1000 to 100.
Fixed inability to search a "searchable" object before you made your first move
I still need to do some GUI/HUD Changes, in addition to rewording some of the tutorial/information text. But I'm hoping to have all this done by next weekend, or sooner!
If you wish to be a beta tester for the next version, please let me know. I currently have 10 keys... but could get more if there was a demand.
Thanks all!

Quick Update 1.2015.05.25
I wanted to add the ability to break locks on doors, for those who would rather use memory than logic... and get on with Shadow Hunting. :) ::Version:: 1.2015.05.25 ::Changes:: - Reworked controls for future input expansion ::Additions:: - The ability to break the lock manually.
