Update v0.7.6.5

Hi survivors!

Today’s update is focusing on fixes and translation improvements:

Some users have been reporting a stuck loading screen. With this update this shouldn’t occur anymore (or at least less often) and we also created a backup folder that will be storing your previous 3 game data. If there’s still any problem related to this do not hesitate to reach us at [email protected] . We will be glad to help you :)
Edit (27/01/2023): This issue should be now fixed with a second update of v0.7.6.5. Many users are reporting an “infinite scroll” input bug which apparently is being caused by some specific software/drivers from these devices (for example, Synapse from Razer). It may be worth to try and uninstall the drivers to see whether it fixes the issue or not. Anyway we are still working on it to avoid it happening in any case.
Fixed an unlikely bug that made the settings panel to display incorrectly.
Some Global and Graphic settings weren't correctly working or being saved.
New translation added: Brazilian Portuguese. Thanks to MAGNUSnoos!
Many corrections languages in:
- French: Kyscen
- German: Grospii, OrkBolg, langehaaregrueneaugen, kev_0gw, m4gerqu4rk, Hestrie, Fridu, Draeia | Phil
- Dutch: JenTheBluePanda and Tryhardosaurus
- Korean: Beata

Svartalfheim News!

Today we bring you some hot news about the next major update! Here's what's coming on February 9th!
We won’t reveal all of the content as we’d like to keep some as a surprise :D

[h2]Svartalfheim[/h2]
This update introduces the third Realm, Svartalfheim! New and powerful minions, Elites and Bosses await you here. In this realm you will find new Relics, Yggdrasil Leaves, a new Survivor and a new Merchant in Gnöki’s Realm! At last, all the gold you earned during the last wave will be useful!

[h2]Expert+[/h2]
For some of you, Expert mode was too easy to conquer.
Don’t worry those who feel Hard is hard enough, for me too (Naya, the game artist).
We know your deep desire to reach your limits and unleash the power of your builds. With this new game mode, you will compete in a Ranking with other players. Will you be able to reach the highest tier?

[h2]Fire and Poison[/h2]
We’ve made a few changes about how these two status effects work. And yes, they will now affect bosses ;)

[h2]Shrines, Artifacts and Relics[/h2]
This expansion comes with new shrines that will allow you to get even more Relics. Also, new Artifacts to make you more powerful in case you need them. And let's not forget about brand new Relics + their Ascensions to complete your build.

[h2]Beta[/h2]
We want to polish this update as best as possible, so we will grant a beta access to those players who wish to try the game before its release. That way we will be able to fix the upcoming issues.
Anyone willing to participate will be able to join through a link we will provide via our Discord channel. Thanks so much in advance! The beta will open 1 week before the major release, that is, February 2nd aka next week!

Thanks again for all your suggestions, even though we don’t answer all your requests, be sure that we read them all and take them into account.
Until next time!

Update v0.7.6

Greetings Survivors! Today we bring you an update focused on polishing details before releasing Svartalfheim, the new Realm!

[h2]Young Helga![/h2]
We sometimes like to create content for fun because we really enjoy developing this game. While taking a long walk last Friday, the idea of a skin for Helga popped into our minds. We thought it would be so fun to create a younger version of our Helga, as she’s also a very loved character. Her owls Ase and Eir would be baby birds at that point in Helga’s timeline, and the idea came to life on the weekend! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

[h3]Ultrawide[/h3]
We want the game to be as accessible as possible, so we have been working on making it viewable on all kinds of screens, including Ultrawide.

[h3]Others[/h3]

Scroll added to the Constellation passive Relics!
Ascensions are now available in the Glossary too!
Descriptions of how to unlock Ascensions now show the name of the Relic they belong to.
You may now delete your progress in the options panel.
Game saving and loading has been improved, giving priority to Steam saving to avoid possible game losses.

[h2]Translations[/h2]
Many thanks to our discord community that is helping us to translate the game.

New language, Dutch, has been added. Thanks to JenTheBluePanda.
German texts in the Interface and Characters have been fixed. Thanks to Grospii, OrkBolg, langehaaregrueneaugen, kev_0gw, m4gerqu4rk, Hestrie and Fridu.
Polish texts have been fixed. Thanks to gerrard725.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

In some cases, Steam got disconnected while playing and some achievements wouldn’t appear as completed.
Yggdrasil: points from certain upgrades couldn’t be removed in some cases.
Some upgrades that shouldn’t be available would stay unlocked as the Yggdrasil links were not working properly.
Twitch options available in the configuration panel have been improved.
Fixed a bug that while standing still with Axeldör's hammer, some projectiles did not fire.

Update v0.7.5.5

Hotfix ready to amend a few issues released in version 0.7.5.

The Slingshot Ascension was making runs too laggy and was too OP. We have changed its functionality a little and improved the performance.
Twitch functionality has been fixed.
When using Axeldör, Thyra and Hafgrim’s skins, stat texts were not working properly.
Mouse control was not working in Gnöki’s Realm.
Ragnar's Sword Relic sound was not synchronized properly.
The game interface is no longer detected when the game is running in background.
We have changed the Midgard’s music track. It was causing copyright problems to some Content Creators. We had paid for the license, but for some reason it is penalizing some people. We’re still working on that issue to solve it as soon as possible.
