Heroes of Book & Paper News

The release date of version 1.0, which will include all the stories, is approaching. A number of improvements and minor changes will also be added.

I would like to thank the community for their support, those of you who have played HB&P, and those of you who have given me your suggestions and ideas. Thank you, without you it wouldn't have been possible. I would also like to thank the community of independent game developers who have given me so much advice. It has been a journey where I have met a lot of good people.

But this journey does not end here. I still have a mountain of ideas for the game, and many of them are very usable, so I will continue to include new free content and new improvements even after launch.

See you on the pages, and thank you for reading!

RELEASE DATE

HEROES OF BOOK & PAPER will be out of Early Acess at the end of June.

If I have to highlight something from this long journey, it is the friends and great people I have met along the way to get here. Thanks to all of them. 👏

THANK YOU FOR READING

The game's release from Early Access is just around the corner. With the core of the game now almost complete, all that remains to be added are the last two quests and the finishing touches.

This new update, update number 25, brings a new adventure complete with 4 different endings and available for both free mode and campaign mode. The food cooking system has also been revised, making this option more interesting and above all more useful.

Here is the changelog v.0.9.3:

ADDED
- Added new adventure!, for free mode and campaign: The Dark Rock.
- Added new item: Food. It is a discarded item that allows players to recover 5 HP.

CHANGES
- The system of cooking at rest locations has changed. Now cooking mushrooms, meat or fungus, instead of directly giving the HP increase, generates a food item that can be used even later in the quest (or in other quests).
- The Dark Fungus item can now also be cooked.
- Healing potions now recover up to 7 HP instead of 5.
- In the story 'The Funeral March' the option to Rest (+3HP) has been changed to cooking food in the camp.
- Changed the Red Dragon's stats. It is now slightly more dangerous.
- Amplified torch sound.

BUGS FIXES
- Fixed a bug that prevented you from protecting yourself from goblin arrows with the shield if it was equipped. ('The Funeral March' story)
- Fixed a bug when buying +1 Bow in the markets. Instead of paying 7 coins, as indicated by the price, 6 coins were paid.

In this update, some images of the game have been modified and some minor bugs (mainly text bugs) have been fixed.

Changelog v.0.9.1.1:
IMPROVEMENTS
- Improved image of the ruins of the temple of Lepta. ('The Temple by the Sea' story)
- Improved the image of the Goron statue.
- Slightly improved the image of the pit.

CHANGES
- Changed three generic forest images.

BUGS FIXES
- Fixed a bug that prevented players from turning back when they encountered the rock-blocked path in the 'Your first Adventure's story cave.
- Fixed small text when opening the chest found in the story 'The Lost City'.
- Fixed some small texts.

This update gives players more possibilities to find resources to recover their lost HP, and to make the search for books in library locations more interesting. I have also added a gauge to let players know what level their character is.

Changelog v.0.9.1:

IMPROVEMENTS
- Now the Sobara desert in the story 'The Barbarian' can generate a different additional image.

ADDED
- A character level indicator has been added. This addition is purely cosmetic, but I know that players like to see their characters level up. (If you load a game prior to this version, the game will assume the character is level 1 regardless of how powerful they are. Sorry for the inconvenience).
- Added new item: Book of Magic. This item has a 1 to 15 chance of being generated in a library when searching for books, and gives a character with WIS 10 or higher a powerful spell when reading it (the higher the WIS, the more powerful the spell).
- Added an image of a crow that can appear procedurally perched in some trees (it makes sound too).

CHANGES
- Increased the chance of Weak or Average enemies dropping Healing Potions as loot when defeated.
- Changed the image of the Vulture Griffin.
- Slightly modified desert image #3.

BUGS FIXES
- Fixed a bug that occurred when obtaining an item with a full inventory. If the player did not replace the found item with an item from his inventory and closed the inventory, when entering and clicking on an item, that item would disappear.
- Corrected value obtained on die rolls when getting a spell on runic circles.
- Removed text that should not appear when finding a gold necklace when digging on the beach in the story 'The Cobra's Ark'.
- Some texts fixed.
