Ritus Exorcismus News

[p]Hello Exorcists! This is a quick update with some pretty cool stuff![/p][p][/p][p]First, our discord server is up! If you'd like to chat with us, give us your feedback or stay in the loop of what is being developed, you can join the server by clicking here[/p][p]We'd love to see you there![/p][p][/p][p]Second, as we work on larger villages (spoilers!) we decided that it is time to add a run keybind. We know some people think the game is too slow, so here it is![/p]

• [p]Walking is the default speed, you can hold SHIFT to run[/p]
• [p]Book keybind was changed to F[/p]

[p]A couple of fixes also shipping in this version:[/p]

• [p]Fix training dialogue sometimes not appearing after selecting a relic[/p]
• [p]Fix minigame feedback SFX being cut[/p]

[p][/p][p]That's it for this version, our next update should be e bigger one, so stay tuned![/p][p][/p][p]Until next time, cheers![/p]

[p]Greetings, exorcists![/p][p][/p][p]Update 0.4.25 is here to empower your relics and make sure no demon can defeat you! We'd like to introduce the relic upgrades system.[/p][p][/p][p]In the center of the Abbey you can find the Agnus Dei Statue. Interacting with the statue will open the upgrades screen, and this is where the fun begins.[/p][p]Each relic has 3 different upgrades, and each upgrade has 2 or 3 tiers. So you can go all out in one relic, or upgrade a bit of every relic.[/p][p]You can upgrade things like:[/p]

• [p]Faster candle movement speed.[/p]
• [p]Gain time back when performing correct inputs in the holy water minigame.[/p]
• [p]Crucifix minigame completes faster.[/p]
• [p]Slower oil target area.[/p]
• [p]Many more![/p]

[p]Upgrades cost offerings, and you gain offerings by completing exorcisms. So when going back to the Abbey from your travels, make sure stop by the statue to get your relics upgraded![/p][p]Upgrades carry over to martyr relics too. For example, if you upgrade the standard Crucifix and later you equip St. Beatrice's Crucifix, the upgrades will still apply to the new crucifix![/p][p]The inventory UI was updated to show how many offerings you currently have, and which upgrades have been unlocked for each relic. Hovering the asterisk* icon on the relic name tag will show the relic popup.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoy the new upgrades system and we'd love to hear your feedback! Feel free to reach out in our community hub.[/p][p]If you liked the demo, leaving a review and adding the game to your wishlist will help us a lot![/p][p][/p][p]Stay strong, exorcists. Until next time![/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel]

[p]Hello, exorcists! Version 0.4.12 is bringing various small changes:[/p][h3]New villager[/h3][p]In this update we're introducing a new villager, the old bearded man, to start adding more variety to the game.[/p][h3][/h3][h3]Better RNG[/h3][p]Some people were getting really bad RNG and were always seeing the same villagers and the same demons. So in this update we are also making sure that won't happen anymore. You are guaranteed to see different things before villagers and demons start repeating.[/p][h3]Improved dialogue and objectives[/h3][p]Objectives now are less vague and will do a better job at guiding players through the early game. We also tweaked some of the core lines of dialogue to give players more information about where to go next.[/p][h3]Other changes[/h3]

• [p]Dialogue box is now at the bottom of the screen. The training exorcism dialogue is still at the top so it won't block any of the gameplay elements.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a candle bug that could lock players in the minigame.[/p]
• [p]Fixed two Calebs spawning in Caleb's room.[/p]

[p]That's it for 0.4.12, we hope you enjoy the changes and give them demons what they deserve![/p][p]See you next time![/p]

[p]Hello exorcists! This new patch brings a few QoL changes. The main one being the candle minigame.[/p][p]Prior to version 0.4.11, if you moved the candle too fast it would go out, you would then have to hold it still and press Q/RMB until it was lit again. This was a bit confusing and it was also making the candle minigame more complex than the other relics.[/p][p]In this version the candle won't go out anymore. If you move too fast, the candle will start flickering and you won't be able to find the symbol (nor use the distance hint). You have to slow down until the flickering stops.[/p][p]Some other changes include:[/p]

• [p]World Map: Double clicking a village will highlight the travel button.[/p]
  • [p]Helper for new players trying to understand how the map works.[/p]
• [p]The Concilium now appears as a single entity in the abbey, instead of the 3 members individually.[/p]
• [p]Remove horse SFX when you arrive at a location. It was hard to hear on top of the map SFX and some players were mistaking it for a demonic sound.[/p]
• [p]Fix typos and layout in the prophecy cutscene.[/p]

[p]All these changes were implemented based on player experience. If you have any feedback don't hesitate to reach out, it helps us a lot![/p][p]See you next time![/p]

[p]Hello exorcists! Update 0.4.10 brings a few changes aimed at speeding up the early game, allowing you to get to real exorcisms as soon as possible:[/p]

• [p]Increase movement speed by 30%.[/p]
• [p]Add option to skip training exorcism.[/p]
  • [p]Not recommended if it is your first time playing! But if you think you got the gist of it you can hold Q to stop the training in the middle of the exorcism.[/p]
• [p]Show exorcism input hints until you exorcise a demon.[/p]
  • [p]Just a helping hand, especially for those that skipped the training exorcism.[/p]
• [p]Remove F1 key bind from tutorial popup. H is the only key that opens the tutorial.[/p]
  • [p]No reason for having 2 keys assigned to that action. H can be used on keyboards without function keys.[/p]

[p]We hope these changes help in getting players to the core loop faster. If you have any feedback feel free to reach out![/p][p]See you next time![/p]
