Hello, We hope most of you are enjoying the game. When we decided to break the copy/paste tradition on present gaming market and try something new, we were expecting that not everyone will like it. Judging by the reactions so far, most of you do like it. We are very happy about that. When you play and finish the game, please leave us a review - your feedback is very important for us. This is our first project and we need your input to make sure that Tower of TIme is the game You want to play, and not only the pet project of “know-it-all developers”. We received a lot of Report Issue logs or emails in the last week. Only thanks to them we were able to identify the problems that we could not otherwise reproduce. Big thanks for that !! The patch notes are as follows:

Technical

Crashes at start some experienced We couldn’t reproduce them but there seems to be a pattern between our compression codecs and players’ codecs. We did two things here - we added a timeout if video doesn’t play at all (that should not cause game to crash) and we rendered all cinematics again. We do hope it will solve the problem - if not - please let us know and we will try another solution with next week patch
Performance should improve in several areas pointed out as problematic
High GPU/CPU usage - if you are experiencing those, please try vsync option on and off. If that doesn’t help - please be so kind and Report Issue so we can nail this problem.
Fixed Tutorial Tips scaling on 21:9 and higher ratios. (we also are looking into increasing text size for those of you that play on large screens - that would take a little longer)
Fixed issue with black screen appearing sometimes when movie is skipped

Gameplay

Selected unit will not move at all even if in aggressive stance mode. You can keep them all in healing totem range. Just deselect champion(s) again (or press “A”) to let him run towards enemies.
Fixed issues with item upgrades that had values clamp to integer value
Fixed teleporter problem ( teleports no longer block themselves after returning to city while teleportation was in progress )
Floor 1 -- Fixed rare issue with Magic Barrier and Devron
Floor 5 - Fixed issue with closed door / pinpad and Mech that was preventing access

Combat

We didn’t touch the champions yet, even if some builds are obviously steamrolling things on hard and even epic. Great creativity! The only change was to the cost of Elemental Barrage - it was capped at 60 mana for level 3, 4, 5 of the skill. Now it is 60 mana for L3, 70 mana for L4 and 80 mana for L5.

Reaper Guard, Floor 1 - can be blinded again (stops drain life channel)
Two fights, Floor 2 - in Library and end level portals - decreased difficulty
Sewer fight, Floor 3 - decreased difficulty
Air Elemental Boss - changed fight mechanics, increased difficulty
Screamers - blind grenade duration reduced from 4 to 3 seconds

Item Forge

(edit) There is a change to mana and health regeneration change per upgrade. We had rounding error before.

Mana - 1 upgrade granted 1 mana regen point - now it grants 0.1 (as was always intended).
Health - 1 upgrade granted 1 health point - now it grants 0.5 (as was always intended).

It is a significant change in case you had invested into those statistics - and we apologize for this. If you have problem with your builds now - please let us know.

Next Patch

For the next week patch we plan to focus on the further performance improvement and few other quality of life features. If you want to chat with us or other players - please join our Discord and share your thoughts. https://discord.gg/8hpkCgD

Small Hotfix - 19 April

When in Save Game screen, sometimes the buttons where grayed out - implying they couldn't be used. They could - but now the color is back as well. (did not do separate announcement for that since its minor change) Thank you for playing Tower of Time! Cheers, Event Horizon Team On the side note - you can download all our music tracks for free - there should be a DLC area. Since there is no price box, it is not so visible.

Tower of Time is a new take on classic RPGs. It has hand-crafted levels filled with various enemies, challenging puzzles, and engaging story-lines. Its dynamic real-time combat with slow mode requires tactical awareness and careful preparation of the party.

At the moment the content is for approximately 15 hours of game-play time on normal or lower difficulty, excluding optional battle challenges.

Before you buy:

If you are looking for a game that is trying to bring something new to RPG genre - Tower of Time is an attempt at just that. If you are not sure if you like the combat we implemented - before you buy - please check some YT clips or visit our YT channel, where we uploaded the combat gameplay recorded and commented by an actual player. This is not a turn-based combat, rather a combination of RPG and RTS on a small scale, where you have the ability to slow time at will.

On Hard difficulty the game is meant to be hard, requiring your undivided attention throughout the entire combat encounter.

On Epic difficulty - there is only one party/skill/item composition for each enemy/boss type that we know of - one mistake will likely wipe your party. You must be in full control of the battle every second. Experimentation and thinking outside-of-the-box will ensure your success here.

Features:

Engaging story – set in a world where technology met magic with devastating consequences. Hundreds of lore books and scattered pieces of information slowly reveal the history of Artara as the protagonist approaches his fate.
Novel combat system – unique real-time action with a slow-time feature, where each match is played on one of many separate tactical maps. Plan ahead and position your party accordingly. Use slow-time to react to new threats or negate enemy skills. No two encounters are ever the same.
Five difficulty levels: You can choose whether you want only to enjoy the story or test your tactical thinking and skills.
Build your party around typical tank/dps/support composition or try something entirely new.
Different combat scenarios - e.g. Swarm or Only Elite - will ensure that combat is not repetitive.
Find secret locations, cleverly hidden in the environment. Travel through hand-crafted levels where every single place is carefully designed.
Seven classes to choose from, and your party can be adjusted at will and anytime, depending on the challenges you face. Each champion has unique skills that can be upgraded and re-trained at will. (In Early Access six champions are available, as the seventh joins your party at lower levels).
New character progression system: there is no experience to gain. Instead, discover ancient knowledge to unlock new skills and carefully design your characters. Each character could be turned into a powerful and durable attacker or a skill-based champion.
Defeat powerful elite enemies (bosses) wielding diverse skills and spells. Assess their strengths and weaknesses carefully to succeed.
Complete combat challenges for item rewards and unique enchanting recipes, or just to test your new party setup.
Random loot system. Craft item of your choice and power, using crafting crystals of various types. Discover ancient enchanting recipes that can change the nature of the combat, granting regeneration aura or immunity to special effects.
Upgrade your city as the main training/equipment hub and repository of all the lore you find.

Story:

For long ages past, Artara was a place of great peace and beauty. Then, a mysterious event took place. Within a few generations, the land was broken and the skies darkened. More than a thousand years of decline has passed since then.

As a young boy, you came upon the base of an immense Tower, uncovered by yet another violent earthquake. Deep below sleeps an ancient power. Since that day, you have been drawn inexorably to this place. Your task is to lead a group of champions and reach whatever resides in the depths of the Tower. There you will face the ultimate choice…
