Heroes of a Broken Land 2 News

I had a short break and it took a while to get back into a rhythm for updates.

This update isn't that large, new status icons and tool tips are the most impactful changes. Of course there's the regular set of fixes and minor improvements.

I still have a few more features to complete the in 0.8.x series but things are looking up! Please continue to suggest improvements in the forums or by the bug report button.

Version 0.8.13:

• Status icons updated
  
• Status icons now give some information about the duration, affect, etc.
  
• Fix some typos
  
• Fix Elemental Aura not applying resistance properly
  
• Fix for hang after cancelling some skills
  
• Fix bug where using item on an empty profile could cause issues
  
• Re-enable party wide auto attack in addition to individual control
  
• Fix Earth cave giving Air resistance
  
• Fix Ranger's camp dialog/quest status
  

The latest update adds some new item modifies - attribute boosting enchantments - and also reworks item generation to prefer stronger enchantments over more enchantments. This should reduce the amount of low-power equipment found. A few quality of life changes to the battle gauges, it should now be a bit more obvious which player is waiting for commands.

This release is getting me pretty close to the end of the 0.8.x series of updates, which means I consider the game almost feature complete right now. Is there a feature missing? Have you requesting something and it hasn't been added, I can't promise anything extra but now is the time to ask (or remind me!)

Version 0.8.11 changes:

• Active player gauge blinks and highlights
  
• Improved targeting indicator on world item usage
  
• Added more equipment modifiers
  
• Adjusted item generation to prefer less but more powerful modifiers
  
• Fix some world sounds not playing properly
  

Version 0.8.10.1

• Fix Druid's resist elements level
  
• Fix item targeting on the world map
  

This update fixes a game braking bug related to item use. There is also a new interface for auto attacking, making it per-player setting rather than a global option. Let me know what you think!

Version 0.8.10:

• Fix monsters not fading on death properly
  
• Fix randomized faces not properly applying settings
  
• Auto attack is not per-player and saved properly
  
• Fix hang when using items
  

This update a few usability tweaks and lots of fixes and improvements to skill descriptions. Many skills now show more information about exactly they affect your characters.

Step by step I'm fixing all the little gaps and unfinished features, and I'll try and keep up this steadier pace of updates. I have a long back log of issues to address and am trying to focus on broken or missing features before I move on to balance and polish chagnes.

Version 0.8.9 brings:

• Fix many, many skill tool tips
  
• Add building info dialog from more town screens
  
• Fix for Light Pillar acting as undead
  
• Fix Sword Export not applying property
  
• Fix equipment based skills not showing stats in certain cases
  
• Adjust Riposte success rate
  
• Fix Elemental Affinity skills not applying bonus correctly
