Update #17 - Portable Save Files and Episode 3 Fixes
This update brings a much requested feature: the ability to drag and drop save files into and out of your save folder from machine to machine. This will help folks transfer save files wherever they like (assuming it's under the same Steam user account), and also help with support

This update brings a much requested feature: the ability to drag and drop save files into and out of your save folder from machine to machine. This will help folks transfer save files wherever they like (assuming it's under the same Steam user account), and also help with support. This is a step towards full Steam Cloud Saves for Eon Altar, coming soon!
It also contains a large number of fixes for Episode 3 content. Some folks ran into bugs that blocked their progress in Episode 3, and we've nailed each one that's been reported so far in this update. No need to worry, existing save files are covered and will also get these fixes! Thanks to our amazing community for help here, it's been awesome!

The Mysterious Stranger should now load correctly on reload, including for existing saves that were broken previously, though it may take him a few moments to find you. He will be much, much harder to lose, despite maybe wanting to drop him in a mine shaft.
You can now leave or re-enter the Paths of Madness after reloading the level. Existing save files should also no longer exhibit this issue.
You should no longer get stuck in the Pit Mine on one side of the bridge unable to continue. Existing save files should also no longer exhibit this issue.
Finally, we've made Episode 3 better all around, with a few more visuals, some combat re-tuning, and more optimizations to make the levels run faster.
A full list of the issues addressed can be found here.

Update #16 - Episode 3: The Watcher in the Dark

Eon Altar: Episode 3 - The Watcher in the Dark is now out for your playing pleasure!
Episode 3 contains two new sessions: The Paths of Madness and Hall of the Builders.
After the defeat of Lady Allevia and putting an end to her centuries-old torment, a mysterious, powerful figure has saved you from Guild Lord Davian's attack and left you in the dark caves below. Explore the mined-out caverns below the Catacombs of Tarnum as you try to get back on Davian's trail, starting in The Paths of Madness--a place of terror that's claimed many miners' lives. What creatures await you in the dark? What does this mysterious benefactor want, and can he help you escape? Or is escape what he's even after? Come heroes of Arilia, your destiny awaits!

More Story! Your characters continue their journey to the Eon Altar. Will Shasek find the treasure he seeks? Will Silent Thorn finally end her target? Find more about two ancient races that have inhabited Arilia for centuries, hidden.
Puzzles! The Hall of the Builders was created by a now seemingly extinct race. What contraptions have they created to guard the path to the Eon Altar?
More Player-To-Player interaction! From quests that bring your players into direct conflict, to conversations where you can come to a mutual understanding. Will Baryson and Muran ever truly get along?
Update #16 also includes some bug fixes, optimizations, and an overhaul to Silent Thorn's Assassin powers!
Poor Silent Thorn has been a little underpowered for a while. Overall her Archery Tree was okay, with Void Arrow and Volley having niche uses, and Double Shot being the meat and potatos of Silent Thorn's rotation. But her Shadowstep/Assassinate loop was a little slow and unfun compared to other characters, to the point that the right tactical answer was always "Archery tree". We wanted to speed up the Shadowstep/Assassinate loop, and also differentiate Eviscerate from Assassinate a little further to make their combat niches a lot more pronounced. Making Shadowstep a Free Action helps with this, but given the damage boost, untargetability, and extra move action it gives, we needed to frontload some Energy cost to it to prevent spamming it off cooldown becoming the optimal strategy.
This change should let you weave in Shadowstep, Eviscerate, and Assassinate into your rotation a lot more often, and keep them differentiated from the Archery tree.
With the changes to Eviscerate, Void Arrow's Blinded lasting 3 Rounds already, Double Shot potentially applying Slowed twice, and Rank III Shadowstep applying Demoralized twice, Silent Thorn's Debuffs stacking was becoming a serious balance issue, so we've also made it such that named Debuffs such as Slowed, Blinded, Hindered, Demoralized, etc. no longer stack. Rather, the last one of that name will get overwritten by the new application. So no more applying Slowed twice to make the enemy have 0 Movement, for example.
Note right now we think these changes may have left her a little overpowered--even with the Debuff stacking change--so we're going to keep an eye on that.

Shadowstep is now a Free Action, but costs 5 Energy. It also still has a 1-Round Cooldown. Eviscerate and Assassinate will reset the cooldown of Shadowstep immediately so it can be used again next round.
Eviscerate will now cost 0 Energy (previously 5 Energy cost), but generate no energy. Its damage has been nerfed slightly, but the debuffs it applies have been extended to 3 Rounds duration instead of 1 to further differentiate it from Assassinate.
Assassinate will now cost 5 Energy (previously 12 Energy cost).
Concealed (and the damage bonus that comes with Shadowstep) both fall off at the beginning of the next round instead of the end to adjust to Shadowstep's Free Action. This will still allow you a round of untargetability.
Debuffs no longer stack; rather, the last one of that type (ie: Slowed, Blinded, Hindered, etc.) applied wins, even if it's a lower duration. This does not affect Buffs, Heal over Time (HoTs), or Damage Over Time (DoTs)
Some of the other notable changes are as follows:

Trading with someone in Dialogue should no longer cause your Movement Marker to disappear on the handset.
Initiating Dialogue with someone Trading should no longer cause their Movement Marker to disappear on the handset.
Further code/graphical optimization to increase framerate.
And more!

Update #15 - Are you Ready for Giving?
Welcome to Update #15! As usual, while we've been busy with Episode 3, we've also been busy building new features and making Eon Altar better for our existing and new players! Just in time for the holidays, you can now give items and resources to your friends in-game! While some
Welcome to Update #15! As usual, while we've been busy with Episode 3, we've also been busy building new features and making Eon Altar better for our existing and new players!
Just in time for the holidays, you can now give items and resources to your friends in-game! While some items are unique to a given character and cannot be traded away, most items can. And you can now trade in the combat arenas, as well. So give the gift of healing and hand over those Vials of Copperweed!
You can also now finally start a game without hitting the Start button on the computer! Once you're in a campaign and everyone has joined, everyone can hit "Ready" on their own controller and the game will boot up in 5 seconds!.
In other features, the game's been tracking your player-to-player relationships this whole time quietly, but we haven't been showing this information to players...until now! When you're in a player-to-player dialogue, you can now see the effects of certain dialogue options on your relationship, and you can see the totals in your Stats screen in the controller app. Right now these values don't do anything, but come Episode 3 they might just have an effect.
Finally, Free Run. Boy, that's been a bit of a neglected feature. We basically implemented it early on in our development cycle and haven't changed it since, and, well, it shows. It's been a little rough around the edges, and by rough I mean it would...stop on edges. No longer! Now, Free Run will run around narrow objects and not be as pedantic when you're running near walls. It should feel a lot better when free running around now! I mean, it'll still feel like you're driving a land boat, but at least now it's a land boat with some smarts about moving around things.
Some of the other notable changes are as follows:

Potion of Mastery is now in the game! Congratulations to Oleg Trylis on his winning Crafting Challenge entry!
We now correctly store your choice about the fate of a certain someone at the end of The Wolf of Yriel such that Together We Fall actually makes sense.
A Special Thanks to MaxLimitz in the credits for all the help he's continually given us over the past few months. You've been amazing!
