[h3]Regarding height calibration issues.[/h3]

[h3]Dear Adventures:[/h3]

Recently, we have received a lot of feedback regarding issues with height calibration. This bug mainly appeared with using Virtual Desktop and Steam Link to play the game. After testing and troubleshooting, we have located the source and fixed it with is hotfix. If you still encounter related problems please post it in the community chat or join our Discord to report it.
We appreciate your feedback, thank you for your long-term support.

[h3]Dear Adventurers:[/h3]
We are so excited to announce that version 0.4.7 has been integrated. In this update, we modified the weapon system. Now, when you wield two-handed weapons with both hands, your damage will be higher. With a bit more practice, you'll be able to defeat enemies more easily.
Two weeks ago, we launched the standalone device version of Grimlord (on Quest Applab). Everything is working perfectly so far, and the standalone version will provide almost the same experience as the PC version, except for some graphics differences. We know that everyone is waiting for the second chapter. Everything is going well so far. We did some internal testing and are happy to report that several sections in the level can already be played with minimum issues. We are also preparing the AI for new enemy types and BOSS battles. Another important piece of news is that we started the production of the third chapter a few weeks ago. We will evaluate chapters 2 and 3 as a whole for the completeness of the story, maybe the two chapters will be launched at the same time and bring the story home with a memorizing climax. There is much to be considered, and we hope you, our beloved fans, will wait patiently for a little bit longer.
While level designers and visual artists are working hard to make those levels, our engineers are also optimizing certain systems and mechanics, and we hope to continue to enhance the physical combat experience, which runs very well on standalone devices. We are also expanding and modifying the talent tree, and it is expected that new test content will be available soon.

Dear Fellow Adventurers:
Merry Christmas! Thank you for your love and support for Grimlord! We have some gifts for you!
We know the long wait for the new chapter to come out requires tons of patience, but in order to have an ideal and optimized experience we have to spend more time polishing it.
As a token of our gratitude and to celebrate this holiday, we present to you a content update, which fixed certain game breaking bugs. We also made a new weapon - the crossbow. It requires some maneuvering to reload, but is very powerful and can easily pierce through enemy’s chainmail. We have also made a new necklace accessory system. You get one early on and once you put in on, you have the ability to teleport to the hub area. We will add more accessories with various functions in future updates to enrich our strategies in combat and adventure. You can find a jewelry box back in the hub area, there you can choose the necklace you want to put on. Hope you guys enjoy these new weapons and features.
We're going full steam ahead to development Grimlord. We want to make it as epic as possible and there's still a ton of new content in the making and planned out.
