Painted figure preview
During last update, we made a poll to get your opinion about having Ayla fully painted (for no extra cost) and making it available on our Backerkit store to cover the additional costs from manufacturer.
You were 98.2% voting yes! So the figure is available again on the store.
We also received the first pictures, not final, from Limited Run Games manufacturer painted version and we love it!

New Playtest version is here - 0.21.0
Thanks so much to everyone who joined our Playtests sessions on our Discord Server. We registered 171 unique testers and 56 of you took time to answer our gameplay survey. This helped us a lot!
Playstests allow us to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the game and a lot of changes were made according to the feedbacks we received. Seeing many people sharing an opinion confirms that something needs to be changed on a specific feature. An example of that is that several players reported utility spells were slow to use so we made them instant and you can now do it while performing any other animation and it is much better!

We have just launched 0.21.0 on Steam Playtests branch (visible on game main menu). It also comes with a new survey if you have the time to fill it after playing it would be very nice.
To keep track of all the changes that we do, we decided to create Patch notes for each updates that we make. You can see the Patch notes dedicated to this new update here. This version should be the one used for Steam Next Festival starting October 1st.
These Playtests sessions are like a pre early access as we are able to collect many meaningful feedbacks and we are training to make frequent and stables updates so we can keep a similar rhythm during Early Access.
If you have not joined the Playtests yet and want to, please check our previous update to see the steps to join.
More news
We have created many things for 0.21.0 like new level design elements that will give more variety to the fights and exploration as you can see below:
Exploding Dandelion weaken the enemies defenses
We have also created a new gambit type that allows you to unlock a gambit slot on a spell. This will be very useful for long runs to create the best possible builds.
Past months were mostly focused on improve the existing content of the game but we think we have recently reached (with 0.21.0 update) the level of quality we wanted to have in the game.
Early Access is our next milestone and will now put all our efforts toward it with new summoning, new challenges, world 2 integration and new bosses fight for Virgo, Leo and Sagittarius.
Finally we would like to let you know that we absolutely love how the game is shaping up and your recent feedbacks were very good and motivating too.
Don't forget about our Backerkit shop and our Discord Server to discuss about the game development,
Have an excellent day,
- The Hibernian Workshop Team
