Glorious Companions News

Hotfix for recently discovered security vulnerability in unity.

[h3]Dear Companions![/h3][p]We recently announced a new patch, and now, right in time for the Autumn Sale, we are releasing a new batch of fixes for Glorious Companions!

Version 1.0 is a huge step forward compared to how the game looked five years ago. It warms my heart, and I’m happy that no matter what, we are still able to come back to this game and keep improving it. This is not a game made to sell - it’s a project born from love for RPGs and fun adventures, exactly how we like it. Even though you might associate us more with simulation-type games, we are RPG players at heart! :)[/p][p]
[/p][p]Looking back, there were times when Glorious Companions didn’t get the love and care it deserved, which is why updates and fixes were on hold for so long. Things have changed, as the previous heads of our studio stopped calling the shots and now we’re excited to start turning that around. This patch is the beginning of a fresh chapter, and we can’t wait to keep building on it together.[/p][p]This new patch is full of important changes, including: properly tracking all achievements, adding quest markers and dynamic quest targets for easier exploration, adjusted trading bonuses and increased world-map movement speed, and many more! But what’s most important, all the blockers and quest issues from 1.0 release were removed![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
This is the best occasion to get back to Terscara, as for the first time we’ve discounted the game by 70% SALE to give you the best deal to try this great, hidden gem of a game!

[/p][p]Let us know if you’ve tried the new patch and what you still want to see in Glorious Companions![/p][p]Thank You,
Ancient Forge Team[/p][p] ~ Apricot[/p][p][/p]

As our company has evolved in the last months after the Early Access release of our flagship title Hotel Galactic we continue to work on, we found additional resources to return to Glorious Companions with a patch full of the fixes you asked for.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Starting later this week, the main developer responsible for the Glorious Companions launch in December, will be back in Terscara to fight all the bugs, quest issues, and optimization problems that you have encountered since the 1.0 release.[/p][p][/p][p]We plan to release the first update this month.[/p][p][/p][p]At the first strike, he will focus on the objective-related problems for quests such as:[/p]

Steam Achievements are on the list as well.[/p][p][/p][p]We cannot wait to return once again to Terscara. For a side project created many years ago, the rework done was absolutely amazing, and we are still proud to see what this game has become.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Champions are still fighting in the world of Terscara![/p][p][/p][p]Thank you,
