Lost Flame News

[p]Hey all,[/p][p]1.0 version of Lost Flame will be released on 17th of February 2026. Early next year I've have decided to take a few weeks off my daily job to fully focus on wrapping up the game, hence the delay from this year. There are a number of pending changes on beta branch already (with some changes to some of the endings, some new NPC voice lines, a bunch of QoL changes, and lost of flavor texts added) and more will come in the next weeks.[/p][p]The game is like 97% complete, and most of the changes left are - more polish, fixing any bugs that I find, enhancing the leaderboards and playthrough stats, and adding 1 "side quest".[/p][p]Sorry for keeping you waiting some more, but I think those few full-time weeks will be extremely valuable for the 1.0 release.[/p][p]In the meantime I have uploaded an updated trailer to the Steam Page. If you want to chat about the game, or follow beta changes, join Lost Flame's discord channel![/p][p]Best,[/p][p]Bartosz [/p]

Hey,
This is a small update fixing an issue where attempting to cleanse uncursed consumables at Arabelle would remove them from inventory.

Hey,
This small update adds the possibility to bind typical weapon skills in the controls menu on Steam Deck.
It also fixes:
* a small bug where NPCs would not say their "thank you" lines after you buy/craft something from them.
* a small bug where the "your gold" label would not update as you are buying items
