Heroes of a Broken Land 2 News

Version 0.4.8 brings more world content, a whopping 7 new events and one new location. Event levels should now be better leveled to your game progression too.

I'll probably slow down on new events for the next patch, and plan on focusing on some of the reported bugs that I have in my back log.

• 7 new events
  
• 1 new location
  
• Adjusted game progression calculation for event levels
  
• Fix the Volcano Eruption event
  

Version 0.4.7 is now out. The 0.4.x updates are still focused on world events and locations. This patch brings the total number of events to 17 and total locations to 13. My goal is to have ~40 events and ~20 locations in the final game. I may not finish them all before I move on to the 0.5.x series of updates, but I expect to have at least 80% of them before calling 0.4.x done.

There are still some fundamental features missing in world events, and event levels will need balancing still. Also I'd love to hear feedback on the events.

Too frequent? Too long or too short? Too easy or hard? Fun? Boring? Let me know!

• 5 new events
  
• 1 new location
  
• Fix some typos
  
• Event levels are now based roughly on game progression
  
• Add message to dungeon map if dungeon is cleared already
  
• Higher level recruits now test job requirements
  

Fixing some bugs reported in 0.4.6 - thanks for the bug reports!

• Fix hang when entering certain event dungeons
  
• Fixes for the Archaeologist event
  
• Fix some typos
  
• Tweak Quest list UI
  

Version 0.4.6 enables the last missing major feature of the game: World Events.



These are random events that occur from time to time. They range in size and complexity from a random dungeon to a choose-your-own adventure style narrative. They should make the game world seem more alive and dynamic and add some random variety to the game.

There's many more of these to be added (I'm aiming for 40+ of various lengths), and some new functionality needs to be added to enable this variety, but I think 13 events is finally enough to enable this feature.

• Enabled world events and added 13 event scripts
  
• Fix bug where resurrecting party members killed in combat could make them disappear
  
• Fix bug where audio levels were not always restored on game start
  
• Adjust counter skill activation chance, lowering from 100%
  

A bunch of fixes have landed. Fixing some new issues as well as some longer standing bugs. This is beginning to become a pattern now: a release adds new features and content and a fix release comes out soon after.

Thank you to everyone who has been filing bugs! Easy to reproduce issues get fixed *much* faster making the game better for everyone!
