Tainted Grail News

Hello everyone! You already know what's coming in today's update, right? ;)

Yes, we're finally ready to show you bits and pieces of what we've been working on since we've wrapped up most of the development related to Conquest!

But before we get to the main part of today's update, let us say this: thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your faith and support. It's absolutely mind-blowing that so many of you played and enjoyed Conquest! That our first game as a studio was able to grab your attention and that you've been so kind that we're staying between 90-92% positive reviews on Steam. And, let's be honest here, YOUR opinions are the only ones that matter.

That said, we're sorry to say that we won't be able to bring more content to Conquest this year — we're planning a patch for Q1 2022 (and at least one big surprise related to the game). Still, we hope that you'll understand why we couldn't work on more stuff related to Conquest when you check out the things we've prepared for you today...

And what we prepared is the very first look at Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.

Some of you were pretty impatient. Some even called it abandonware — but we'd like to tell you that... Well, certain things take time. If we were a "normal" game development studio, we wouldn't say a word about this game for at least another six months. We'd work on scheduling the announcement for some big event and whatnot.

But we just feel that we owe it to you, the players, to say what's happening — after all, it's your passion and support that makes it all possible. Here's our winter holiday gift for y'all :)

So, without further ado, we're really excited and terrified now... but here goes the teaser —

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

So... Yes! Everything about the game's presentation has changed.

At the same time: no, we're not changing the game's core. Tainted Grail will be a dark fantasy epic full of meaningful choices. Only now we're able to make it even bigger and better than ever before.

Our goals for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon were always pretty simple: we want to honor the choices of our players and give them as much freedom as we possibly can.



We want you to be able to customize your character, live with the consequences of your in-game choices, and let you play the game any way you want. We want this game to be a proper RPG — at least our first foray into this territory. We're pretty sure we're not going to succeed with everything we want to do! :D

This means that we're not following the storyline of the board game, and we're not making you play as characters from the board game. It's up to you who you want to be in the world of Tainted Grail and how you will decide to handle the problems you'll face.

And yes, what you see now is precisely the game we always dreamt about making but its scope… made us wonder whether we can make it.



But right now... we're really optimistic that we will. So what you see in this teaser — and we're going to show longer shots here and on our Discord — is just the start of our journey and we want to put so much more love into this game!

This means that we're currently in the really early stages of development: we have first versions of plenty of mechanics and systems, but not many of them "feel right" yet. That's going to take a while. But we just couldn't wait to show you bits and pieces of what we already have so that you know what's happening with the game!

And yes, even though the game's changed a lot and is a much bigger project than anybody anticipated, we're not changing the deal we've had with you. So all who bought Conquest before the cut-off date (27th of November 2020 on Steam and a bit later on GOG.com) are still getting The Fall of Avalon for free.



One last thing — every screenshot you see here was taken straight from the editor, we didn’t touch any single one with Photoshop. The only “lie” is that they were taken in 4K resolution (but if someone has a monstrous machine they’d be able to get this quality). Obviously, though, we’re still so early in development that things may change! We’re doing all we can in order not to downgrade the quality of the visuals :)

In the upcoming months, we will be talking more about the game, what will be unique about it, and we'll try to prepare you for (hopefully) an amazing, epic adventure in the dark world of Tainted Grail.

Our whole team is EXTREMELY hyped to create an unforgettable adventure and we hope you'd like to join us!

Hello everyone! It took us a while… but we’re back with a HUGE patch with a lot of cool things inside!

But let us start by thanking you all for playing the game and being such an awesome community! Your support made it possible for us to work extra on the game and add a lot of awesome stuff with Patch 1.1... But we are not done and today we are super excited to invite you to Patch 1.2!

There are three main things we’re bringing today —

• new translations of the game
  
• new content and balancing
  
• official soundtrack!
  

So, let’s dive into the contents of this gigantic patch :)



You’ve been asking for this for a while now and we’re finally ready to update the game with Simplified Chinese, Russian, and Spanish.

We hope that thanks to those translations, a lot of new people will gain access to the game and have some good fun with it ;) We will really appreciate those of you who are in those regions to spread the word about the game being available in extra languages!





Well, who doesn’t like more free content and variety…? ;)

We were able to add over 100 new cards and passives to the game! This means - tons of new strategies to explore, more variety, and more fun! We hope you will be able to explore the new gameplay content and create some new crazy strategies with those new tools!



We’ve been working on giving all the classes the same possibilities — some of them had more cards and passives than others. Now they’re all mostly equal. This means that we’ve added A LOT of new cards to Watchers and Moonring, and a lot of new passives all over the board.



Since you have some new cards and passives… well, it would be good to also have some new enemies to combat as well, right? Good news! We were able to add 3 absolutely new monsters with unique designs and new interesting mechanics.

Again, this means more free content, more replayability, and variety! Hopefully, you will be able to defeat them without a problem ;)





And, in addition to that, we’ve finally wrapped up work on something you’ve been asking for since the game was released:



You can check out the soundtrack in various places:

1. on Steam (and if you’re still buying music, then this is the full release – it contains tracks we’ve licensed for the game from Danheim.)
   
2. on Bandcamp
3. on Spotify
4. on Youtube

The soundtrack in various forms should be available everywhere else, too, so it’s up to you where you want to listen to it.

There's also some additional music available now — if you'd like to listen to tracks played by the Bard in the player's village, head here.



Last but not least, something for those of you, who like to travel through wyrdness with style! We have a bunch of new cosmetics for you all including hair, tattoos, and a new shiny armor (unlockable by levelling up with Watchers of Tuathan)!



Ok! That’s it! We hope that y’all will be happy with all the new stuff and good luck out there in the Wyrdness!

Hey!

After a safe beta-testing period (huge thanks to everyone who participated and shared feedback with us!), we are ready to post our very first MAJOR patch after launch.

Welcome to Patch 1.1 - Shattered Reality!



We are super excited to bring quite a big chunk of extra content to Tainted Grail. Before we will get to the “meat” of the patch that will bring you many hours of extra playtime - let us start with some of the things that might not be instantly visible.

First of all - our team worked on extra optimization of the game and we were able to get the game working better, especially at the lower-end specification. Nothing really groundbreaking, but hopefully a noticeable change ;)

Secondly - we did a lot of (really small) balancing tweaks, fixed quite a lot of bugs, and added some visual improvements here and there. Again, nothing groundbreaking, but the devil is in the details! ;)

NOW! Let's go to the big things!





We are extremely happy to invite you to take part in the weekly events. From now on, every week you will have a new challenge with some really crazy modifiers that will take a normal Conquest game to a new level.

We really hope that it will give you tons of extra fun for months to come - especially since events will be quite different from each other.

We are not talking about some small modifiers - we are talking some crazy stuff like "you start the game with 1HP, every card you play gets duplicated, monsters have doubled health", and so on!

So in general - there will be TONS of extremely… WYRD… interactions and some memorable moments ;)

For some of you, who like to compete for the highest score, we have also added a dedicated leaderboard for every event, so that you can compete for 1st place worldwide! ;)





Also, we have prepared 2 Endless modes for those of you who are interseted only in PURE GAMEPLAY without the story / exploration bits. In those modes, you are just fighting with enemies one by one until… Well, it is endless, so there is no end :D

After every combat you get some small rewards and choices to make, so you can quickly test a lot of different strategies. Now, why “Misery”? Mostly because this mode is the most hardcore one ;) There is no forgiveness on the enemy's side and surviving every fight can be quite a challenge!



This is our “chill mode”. Is it raining outside and you just want to chill a bit with some silly combos and crazy fights? Endless Powers is here for you! In this mode, fights you are going to face are not your “usual” ones - so be prepared to face 3 golems at once or some other crazy combinations ;)

In this mode, your power level will grow to pretty absurd levels and you can do some quite crazy combos ending up in 1-shooting some extremely strong enemies ;D

Overall, we are quite proud of this patch and we really hope you will enjoy the new modes! If you will enjoy it - remember that spreading the word about the game or leaving us a positive review can go a loooooong way and we will really appreciate it! :)





Now, time for another piece of news, that we hope some of you will be really excited about!
We’ve officially started translating the game to Russian, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese :)

This will be a professionally prepared translation with high quality - done by the same company that translated the game to German, French, and Polish (and we've heard a lot of good comments about our current translations!).

We hope these three new languages will be available within the next two months so we ask for your patience! :)

(And we’d kindly ask you not to use fan-made translations for pirated copies – over the past month we’ve received 49 million automated error reports (some are sent after every “frame”, meaning pretty much all the time when the game’s played) from these and our storage space for crash logs got pretty cluttered :D)
