[Initial News]
I just uploaded the beta of update #5 to the "new-beta" branch for you to get your hands on! Since it introduces big changes to the rogue rider mode it will run for some days or even a week till it is all done and tweaked as the final Update #5.
To download the beta simply go in Library > right click Last Knight > Properties > Betas Tab > select "Beta-new". You can then also go back out of it there as you like.
It is the most important update yet, here is a quick rundown of the biggest changes:
- First version of the inventory
>With food, power ups and diamonds.
- Traders and treasures
>Added to the map and inventory screen, prices might still need more balancing
- Wide range of different food that prevents you from starving to death.
>Easy areas have them scattered around and you can get emergency food, that you can carry on the horse's back, through traders. Again, more balancing might be needed. Let me know if you starve too often or not at all. Here is a taste of it:

- Cinematic cameras
>For deaths, areas and levels finished and jousting when there is enough space. It might work not everywhere like it should. Let me know if it is annoying or in front of specific obstacles.
- Ghost power up less overpowered
>You now slowly seep through the ground as a ghost but you can simply go up again by jumping. Additionally you can not eat in the rogue rider mode as a ghost because obviously all the food falls through your belly.
The new achievements are still missing and not all fixes of this version have been tested yet. The traders are currently just silhouettes, since that is not important and quite a bit of work I keep that for next update. There is also just placeholder text for the food currently, if you have ideas let me know. The beta of Update #5 is only for PC since I still have 2 big issues to fix on the Mac version.
I created a thread here where you can post feedback: http://steamcommunity.com/app/262210/discussions/0/46476691341660233/
See ya!
