Hello adventurers! It's been awhile but the game will be featured in the upcoming Steam Nextfest! Because of this and the many changes the game's engine has gone through, a more polished and updated build is being provided!

Feature Updates

• Training dummies are now located in the camp to test damage and builds.
• Engine optimizations for more responsive gameplay and runs on weaker hardware.

System Changes

• Equipment can no longer be changed during stages.
• Music updates!

Bugfixes

• Game crash on Linux build has been fixed when quitting to the main menu.
• Player save files being completely broken bug has been identified and fixed.
• Player save files will now attempt to retry if they fail to write for some reason to prevent data loss.

New Classes!

Thief

• The Thief has very high mobility to weave through fights and eliminate enemies and can also throw daggers at monsters. A very versatile fighter.

Trapper

• The Trapper is always two steps ahead of their opponents, laying down traps and luring their prey towards a swift death. Trappers also can mark their targets to deal bonus damage.

Witch

• The Witch uses poisons, debuffs, and death spells to wittle down and debilitate their monsters through a battle of attrition.

Enhance your rings to reach their full stat potentials!

Obtain additional effects on your accessories! Some may even change your abilities and playstyle.

Hello Adventurers! As the game continues development (Chapter 2 is almost complete now!) we are rolling out some quality-of-life changes and bugfixes for players on the demo side of things, making sure that any bugs found during development don't impact the live player experience.

Additions

• Added an indicator on the borders of the screen when a boss is no longer in view of the player for easier tracking.

Bugfixes

• Fix knockback effects that had bonus knockback (such as enemy charge attacks) not being applied to the player or monsters.
• Fix a bug where knockbacks that occur at the exact same location as a player or monster would cause a division by zero error.
• Fix the Health % stat, it simply was not working before...

Hello Adventurers, There is a new and highly requested feature in this update: Minimaps! While playing you may have noticed it was easy to get lost in the winding paths of the forest. To make navigation a little more sane, we have provided a minimap that updates itself as you explore! This way you can scout out potential locations you may have missed! [quote]
The minimap normally appears in the upper-right corner and reveals itself as you explore the map. [/quote] [quote]
When revisiting a map in the future, the outline of the map you've already explored shows up faded, so you can still identify which paths you haven't taken on a new run. [/quote] [quote]
For those that prefer something a little more in-their-face, the new Minimap Toggle hotkey will let you switch between minimap modes now. This center overlay view lets you see the layout of the map directly over the screen. [/quote]

Other Additions:

• New Artwork for the Wizard class added. (Thanks Scarlet!)
• Added an auto pause feature, which will pause the game if the player gets hit while the window is unfocused (toggleable in Settings)
• Map starting and ending locations no longer have visible edges, but instead have blocked zones.

Bugfixes:

• Frog tongues are no longer detached from the Frogs themselves.
• Fix a bug that caused monsters to be hit multiple times by a piercing attack while spawning new monsters.

Updates:

- Ground textures have been updated with more detail and variety.

- Added damage vignette to HUD overlay when taking damage for more damage feedback.

• Fixed Bosses getting stuck in terrain outside of boss arenas.
• Bandages item description now clarifies that it is a cast.
• Merchant inventories and player inventories have slightly more room for item descriptions now and display equipment descriptions correctly.
• Auto-aim range slightly increased to improve usability.
• Chapter 2 weapons were removed from the demo Blacksmith crafting lists (Didn't have the materials to craft them anyways).

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a memory leak
• Fixed a rare bug where save files would not properly be reloaded.
• Pressing negating movement directions now properly halts the player's animation instead of walking in place.

Come get a first look at the playable demo of Adventures in Lestoria! Available on March 30th, the public will have a chance to play in a dungeon-crawling classic action RPG experience!

Experience and play through the entirety of the first chapter of the game! We look forward to hearing about your adventures and how the game experience feels. We have been hard at work to craft a fun and enjoyable experience to give you a taste of what is to come. The demo will continue to remain available after the event period ends!
