Hi folks!
Time flies! It's been a full year since we launched into Early Access, and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for being part of the Spiritfall community.
Today we're delighted to announce that the Spiritfall Soundtrack is now available if you would like to continue to support our small team. with the OST you can feel empowered while exercising, relax with the peaceful ambiance of the Sanctum, and even wall-splat your enemies friends at parties. We hope you enjoy it!
You can view the tracklist and get the Soundtrack here.
A new update also just dropped, focused on performance improvements (long start time when booting up the game especially). There are also some QOL changes, balance changes, and bug fixes. Here's the full list of changes:
Version 1.1.14
Performance Improvements
- We have overhauled how the game works behind the scenes to improve asset and memory management. This should resolve the slow startup time many are experiencing when running the game, as well as allow lower-end PCs to run the game with reduced memory requirements.
- We have also focused on making the file size smaller, by making our assets packing more efficient and removing some clutter. These changes significantly reduce the install size of the game.
QOL Improvements
- Blessings that contribute to a Synergy will display a symbol on them when offered (unless you have never picked this blessing before), allowing you to view any potential synergies that can be unlocked if this blessing is picked. You can also view this information on while in each pirit’s Blessing List in the Codex by selecting a specific blessing.
- Added a “Clear Selected Binding” option to the control rebinding menu.
- Blessings you currently have will be marked in the main Blessing List (press interact when a spirit is selected in the Codex). Previously, blessings were only marked in the requirements panel of this sub-menu.
- Added an additional backup save feature that can restore save data when it gets corrupted due to a power-outage or other similar issues.
- Removed the low health screen-tint effect when browsing certain menus.
Gameplay / Balance Changes
Assists requirement removed.
Assists will no longer require at least one blessing from their respective spirit before showing up as an option. They now have no requirement, similar to the other core blessings (Attack, Launcher, Bolt, Dash).
