Attention Guildies!
Before we get into this latest update, we wanted to highlight that we are almost at 200 reviews! Your feedback is invaluable to improving the game; if you haven't already done so, please consider leaving us a review on Steam and help us get to 200.
The Experimental Branch has just been updated! In this optional but public steam version of the game, if you’re interested, you can try out experimental features and changes and let us know your thoughts.
Here are the key highlights from the January update:
- Tactician difficulty: initial implementation with enemy/player stat modifications, future iterations to make changes to enemy skillsets and decision-making.
- Attack of opportunity: implementation complete with additional UI/polish.
- Ranged skill debuff mechanic: characters wielding melee weapons inflict the Threatened status on adjacent characters, causing their effectiveness with ranged projectile attacks to be reduced.
- Game speed can now be modified in the settings, allowing for up to 1.5x regular speed.
- Tactical reposition: every character now has 1AP inherent skill which lets them swap places with an adjacent ally once per turn.
- Respec: Unapply all attribute points for any party member by visiting an NPC in Gladeheim, allowing players to easily modify their builds.
- Various fixes of bugs present in the previous experimental branch update, including fixing various issues with skill levels and summons.
- Skill and item rebalancing.
Experimental Branch Q&A
Please be advised that the Experimental Branch will contain bugs, save incompatibilities, crashes, and other issues that may impact the player experience. It is strongly recommended to play normally on the default branch, and only venture into the Experimental Branch if you want to try out some of the new features that are coming, often in a crude/developing state, and offer your feedback--or to track development progress in between major Early Access updates.
How can I play on the Experimental Branch? Simply go to your Steam library, right click the game, and select "Properties". Now, navigate to "Betas" and select "Beta Participation - experimental". If you ever want to switch back, simply return to this menu and select Beta Participation - None".
When can I expect more to be added? We don't have a set schedule for Experimental Branch updates, but we anticipate new updates coming every 1 to 2 months during EA, with the potential for more frequent or less frequent updates month-to-month.
Should I report bugs found in the Experimental Branch? Yes please! You can submit bug reports here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2184350/discussions/0/6497096716248585393/
