We're excited to release our first update in nearly 4 years to Hero Generations: ReGen! We're addressing one of our biggest player requests by adding a new, more forgiving play mode! "Easy Mode" games have two rule changes.

Clouds do not reset on new generations, letting you avoid having to scout the same tiles again.
Town improvements (buildings around towns) do not decay.
Easy Mode offers a new way to play that lets you more easily make progress and explore all 6 biomes in a generated world. It also lets you more easily create some of the 20 town crafting upgrades. Give it a try and let us know how else we can improve this mode to fit your playstyle!
Call For Feedback And Reviews!
It's important to us that we address your feedback. If this update does that, we greatly appreciate you giving the game a positive review on our store page, or updating your existing review to reflect this! Doing this helps us reach more players, and justify development time away from our new game in development, We Are The Caretakers. We would love to spend more time continuing to improve and add to the game!
Full Version 2.21 Change Log

New "Easy" Mode! Easy Mode games have two rule changes: Clouds do not reset on new generations, and town improvements (buildings) do not decay. A new way to play that lets you more easily make progress and explore all 6 biomes in a generated world.
Mode Select option on new games. Choose Easy Mode or Basic Mode when starting a new game. Easy Mode save games will have a "present" icon on their entry.
Bug fixes in menu flow that prevent blocking (quests, tech tree, etc) screens from overlapping.
Special camera effects (Vintage and Black & White) are unlocked immediately for all players. Fixed bugs where players could not see camera effect settings and get stuck in a vfx mode.
Upgraded the project to Unity version 2019.4, enabling bug fixes and easier future updates. Also gained some performance improvements in the process.
Behind the scenes refactoring and adjustments to make debugging and updating easier.
Extended the length of the upcoming Winter event (begins at the start of Dec)
Heart Shaped Games Splash Screen added.

ReGen October Update is live (v1.03 - New content, speed improvements, combat changes, bug fixes and more!)

Our latest Hero Generations: ReGen update is now live on Steam and will be coming shortly to our other platforms! This update includes a number of new additions to the game as well as changes that address common feedback we’ve received from players. Please let us know what you think!

Combat sequence has been sped up (faster entry, faster exit, faster resolution animations).
Heroes and enemy NPCs can achieve critical hits if their strength roll result is 50 or more above their opponent’s. Critical hits add 5 to damage. We spent some time looking for ways to make combat faster, more interesting, and less tedious later in the game. Critical hits reward you for building up your strength, and remove many repeat combat sequences later in the game when you have grown beyond most enemies in your world area.
Sai, a new weapon that has a 25% chance of adding a +5 lifespan damage critical hit in combat.
Raider, a new trait that enables hero to steal items from the enemy in combat.
Gift of longevity now makes all cards in the mating flip game hold lifespan bonuses, if the item is held at the end of a generation.
Added two special graphics modes (PC/Mac/Linux only due to performance impact on mobile): Black & White and Vintage. Modes can be toggled in settings and are unlocked by finishing (dying) games.
Oracle now passes on wisdom about secrets in the game when it receives a letter.
Improved clarity of deliver letter quest by highlighting the drop off destination with a cut scene.
Clearing an Oasis has a different set of loot to drop, and is now more likely to give Keys.
Gift shops now periodically have trait books for sale.
Character items and traits now shown in save game slot.
Fixed French language bug that caused crash after 2nd generation.
Fixed crash bug with boss destroying barracks nodes.
Fixed out of sync music bug.
Fixed color animation text bug.
Added new tip message about crafting towns for new players.
Steam Achievement bugs should now be addressed.
Reduced the size of the game package and reduced loading times.
Minor improvements to translations across all supported languages based on feedback.
Some objects in the game with low res sidebar portraits have been improved.
Also, please remember that anyone that purchased the original Hero Generations has a 67% off coupon for ReGen in their inventory.
We’ll be releasing our next update roadmap soon. Let us know what you think of the update, and anything you’d love to see added to the game next!

Hi everyone,
We have just released our first update to Hero Generations: ReGen (v1.02)! Restart your Steam client to trigger the update. This update contains a number of minor bug fixes and gameplay enhancements.
v1.02 Full Change List

A new camera Cutscene plays to highlight the end bosses' special attack. A new "toast" message with a clue also appears.
Highlight effects on mates could sometimes not appear when selecting them in towns.
All clear style quests (Oasis, Lairs, Sword In The Stone, etc) now behave as expected, and do not continue to give fame at the start of new generations while in the cleared state.
Oasis quests in the Island world now clear individually, instead of when all Oasis nodes are cleared.
Fixed situation where "Traits Full" option window would stay present past town screen.
Added error catching for any save game loading issues. A message box appears with more info and instructions on how to report bugs.
Removed debug command for toggling the UI on/off from production.
World quests such as "Kill All Bosses" now track/reload properly. Existing save files will update to track existing progress.
Special Events list for new generations save properly, so events that are chosen are consistent.
Backend changes that should improve reliability of Steam achievements. For some players, this seems to fix the issue of many achievements unlocking at startup unexpectedly. Continuing to investigate the need for further fixes.
PDF Art Book Free For All ReGen Owners!
On top of the above minor bug fixes, we've added a 36-page Art Book to the package for FREE ($5 value)! It's a sort of behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of the Hero Generations art style. Previously a part of our HG1 special edition, we are now making it available as an added bonus for all Hero Generations: ReGen players. To find it, simply navigate to the game folder within the Steam directory on you computer, and it will be there after grabbing this update.
Thank You Coupons
Finally, new 67% off coupons, that do not stack with other offers, should start dropping today for those HG1 owners who have not redeemed the previous launch coupon. You may also need to restart your Steam client for the new coupon to appear in your inventory.
Thanks, and we hope you enjoy the new changes!
