Hi,

I just moved the latest hotfix to the default branch. Here are the full patch notes:

* Added gamma/brightness options
* You can now exit the Chapel of Incarnation from the inside
* The player character's torch should be less blinding now
* Added store signs (also for currently closed stores)
* You can no longer enter the mysterious ankh room by corrupting your save file with invalid characters
* Harold will now accept your money if you come back for the deal
* Fixed some character names

As mentioned, there might still be some inconsistencies between the brightness in the heartlands and the rest of the game. If you are experiencing any other issues, please let me know!

Best wishes,
Michael

Hi!

I just uploaded the latest build to the testing branch. Here are the first patch notes:

* Added gamma/brightness options
* You can now exit the Chapel of Incarnation from the inside
* The player character's torch should be less blinding now
* Added store signs (also for currently closed stores)
* You can no longer enter the mysterious ankh room by corrupting your save file with invalid characters

If you are experiencing any problems, please let me know. The Heartlands base lighting is a little too dark and corrected via post-processing gamma at the moment. You might see some incoherence between it and the other areas if you turn up the brightness. This will be fixed with the next lighting update.

Best wishes,
Michael

Hi!
I just uploaded the latest hotfix to the default branch. The focus was further balancing enemies and spells, having the blacksmith repair your items, improving performance, and fixing the mouse skipping. Here are the full patch notes:

* Map pins should initialize correctly now
* Lowered vitality of Piscoids & Water Elementals
* Adjusted intelligence requirements for some spells
* Bounty hunters are now a separate faction
* Fixed notes on runeplates
* Rodri the blacksmith can now repair all your equipment
* Added a hint for the expanding orb puzzle
* Added a flag to turn off frame-adjusted mouse data
* Slight performance improvements in the heartlands

I had to rebuild the lighting in the heartlands so the patch size is a bit bigger. Sorry for that. Performance should be a bit better as well. Please let me know if you have any further issues with mouse skipping. The frame-adjusted mouse data (which causes the skipping on some systems) should be off by default.

Best wishes,
Michael

Hi,

I just uploaded a new hotfix. However, it is not on the default branch yet. I have created a new beta branch called "testing" to stage the latest builds of the game and optimize newly implemented features for deployment if necessary.

If you'd like to take a look at it, you can access the testing branch by right-clicking on your Monomyth Steam library entry and opening the properties. Under "Betas" select the "testing" branch in the Beta Participation dropdown menu.



Once you are done testing, be sure to switch back to the default branch (None).
Here are the current changes for EA1.0.0c:

* Map pins should initialize correctly now
* Lowered vitality of Piscoids & Water Elementals
* Adjusted intelligence requirements for some spells
* Added option to turn off frame-adjusted mouse data
* Slight performance improvements in the heartlands

For the moment, frame adjustments are turned off by default (unlike in EA1.0.0b). Please let me know if you experience any more severe mouse skipping or other issues. If not, this will become the default setting in the future.

The hotfix is a little bigger because I had to rebuild some lighting. I will write another update with the final patch notes once the build goes live on the default branch.

Best wishes,
Michael
