In our latest patch today we added a greater variety of music, with more music changes around towns and taverns, and a few previously unused songs now play in a couple of places. We also fixed collision in a few spots where you could get stuck or fall out of the map.

There were two bugged shops in the Icy Reach. If you tried to enter either of them, you may have loaded a shop level that did not unload. When you load a saved game after trying to visit the bugged shops, you may end up in a shop you weren't in when you saved the game. If that happens, open the console with ~ or F1. Then type in this command and press enter:

ce UnloadAlchemistShop

That should close the shop level and teleport you back to the start of the town map. If you need to get back to the world map, then type this command next:

ce ReturnToWorldMap

That should get you back to where you need to be.

If any of you still have this issue or something similar, please let me know right away.

Hi everyone. We've got a quick patch for you right now. It adds two options for you.

If your game crashes when illusionists attack, or when you see a lot of status effects popup at the same time, use this console command. To open the console, press ~ or F1. Type in "SetDisableStatusPopups true" (without quotes) and press enter. That should stop the crashes during combat. And some of you who aren't experiencing crashes might try this too and may decide you like the less cluttered combat space.

Next is an option to end your combat turn automatically when all of your lances have moved. To enable this, open the console with ~ or F1. Type in "SetAutoEndTurn true" (without quotes) and press enter.

We will put these options in the options menu soon. And we will continue trying to track down the root cause of the illusionist-related crash.

We will probably add to this as the day goes. For now, here's what we're patching:

• Fixed male sprite template and facial hair sprites that were not aligned in the attack animation when viewed from the side. Hopefully all sprites are aligned now. The sprites got misaligned when we changed the sprite template a few days ago to accommodate large epic weapons.
  

We've been adding a lot over the last few days as we get ready for full release on 31 January. Today one of the big changes is that we repositioned all of the sprites to make more room on the sheet for some of the late-game epic weapons. We think everything should be in place, but let us know if you see anything misaligned, specifically during the left- and right-facing attack frames.

Also, we added new equipment for pumpkinheads, wolves, cactus kids, and boars. Look for the new recipes in the desert and forest battle maps. Also, we have new late-game weapons and crafting recipes. And we blocked off pretty much everywhere you might be able to fall out of the map from a building interior.

Full release is coming soon. Please let us know right away if you see anything that needs fixing and we'll do our best to fix it before version 1.0.
