Fallen Knight Update
Greetings, Heroes!
Today Hero's Story is one step closer to release.
New update adds a third boss, in-game cutscenes and localization system.
Also, the size of the game installation files has been reduced by almost half - and nothing has been cut from the game! This is an important update that fixes many significant bugs, removes some restrictions and generally makes life better for players!
As always you will find the full list of changes below. I hope that you will enjoy this update :)

[h3]Bugfixes[/h3]
And now let's take a closer look at some points.
[h2]OLD KNIGHT[/h2]
The Kriege family crypt had once seen better days. Now this place is guarded only by king’s revived soldiers, restless servants and revived renegade magicians.
They say that the old knight himself still wanders in dungeons of the family crypt in Expanse! Who can get into the dungeon and put ghost of the past to rest forever?
[h2]LOCALIZATION SYSTEM[/h2]
In the new version game now will have a localization system. This means that players will now be able to change the language in game settings in the main menu.
Localization affects in-game texts, interface and various materials. There are only two options available for now, but more languages may be supported in the future.
The game itself will also try to determine most suitable language when you first launch the updated version.
[h2]IN-GAME CUTSCENES[/h2]
In-game cutscenes play important role in any modern game. They designed to, for example, indicate the path, introduce a new enemy or a boss and also simply make the story more entertaining!
It is worth noting that in the full version of Hero's Story there will be more in-game cutscenes. All in-game cutscenes are made using game engine.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Your Silent.
