FOR THE KING II

Were excited to bring forth this update as our Q1 Quality of Life update. The main focus of this update was to level up the current set of characters skill sets and kits and make certain characters a bit more fun to play. We also have a whole host of global changes - Find skills can now activate on vehicles, weve made some changes to how Taunt works, and the dreaded misclick on the overworld costing you focus can now be refunded!

Weve also made broad changes to the in-game encyclopedia, reworked tooltips to provide more pertinent information, added a few new settings, squashed a bunch of bugs and smoothed out a few areas of the game. We are once again asking the Kraken to drop more loot.

And check out our new franchise bundle!

Dear fellow adventurers and defenders of Fahruls freedom,

We will keep this short and sweet, no doubt, right now you all you want to be doing now is playing For The King II, and we cant wait for you to experience the game for yourselves.

Rest assured that at this very moment, there are thirteen people in a room in Vancouver eagerly watching the game come alive, following with keen interest your first steps into the re-imagined world of Farhul.

Thank you for trust, passion, support and appreciation while we have been crafting For The King II, we could not have done it without you.

While this feels for us like the end of a long journey, it is actually just the beginning. We will be working tirelessly over the coming days and weeks to release fixes, patches and updates as we receive your feedback. Whilst we have tested the game as thoroughly as possible to deliver a seamless experience, there is no match for hundreds of thousands of players putting the game through its paces in a live environment. Please do let us know what you think, either in our Discord or via in-game reports by pressing F1.

We are here, we are listening and we will be learning how to evolve and improve the game with every passing second that the game is live.

For The King II is already three times as large as For The King was when we launched, and we are already working on major content updates that we will be releasing in the coming months. We plan to bring significant free updates to the game to expand the world and provide new game modes to enjoy solo or with your friends, as well as frequent and significant paid expansions that will provide new adventures, items, weapons and classes to enjoy.

It has taken us many years to bring For The King II to you, but the adventure is only just beginning

Welcome back, Adventurers!

For The King II is launching at 10am PDT tomorrow! This is your last chance to pre-purchase the game and receive your exclusive rewards before setting forth into Farhul once again.

The time to act is now! We ask you, in our collective time of need to ready your landboats, muster your most trusted allies, take arms and go forth to dethrone the evil that has cloaked our fair isle in darkness. For tomorrow we fight for freedom Tomorrow we fight for Fahrul!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/1676840/For_The_King_II/

[h3]Book of Lore Chapter 5[/h3]
We are also thrilled to reveal Book of Lore 5! This Book of Lore gives you an insight into the game's new campaign structure to show how you'll be traversing through Fahrul when your adventure begins. We'll also be taking you on a journey to discover the enemies and bosses that you'll be valiantly facing on your journey.

[previewyoutube=XS10P4r4EUU;full][/previewyoutube]

[h3] New multi-chapter campaign that spans over 5 adventures! [/h3]
We have re-imagined a new way of playing For The King that will make your playthroughs more enjoyable and more rewarding, whether you play as a hardened Blacksmiths or a quick-witted Scholar.

In For the King 1, the main campaign spans around 9 hours of gameplay from beginning to end, a long journey which always makes starting from scratch really difficult to bear when your party inevitably meets a sticky end! In For The King II, we have extended the main campaign to over 30 hours, but have also broken this up into 5 adventure chapters, each progressing the narrative of the campaign. So, for example, when you complete chapter 1 you unlock chapter 2, enabling you to begin your next session from that chapter.

We hope that with this new campaign style, you will have more flexibility in how you and your friends play, gaining the satisfaction of completing shorter adventure chapters whilst also having a much longer challenge across the entire campaign.

At the beginning of each chapter you start with a new party and loadout enabling you to try new classes and traits as you play through the entire campaign, tailoring your party's capabilities to the challenge at hand. Whilst each chapter has its own objectives, mechanics and unique narrative, just like For The King 1 - you will want to go back and replay chapters to discover weapons, items and character classes to expand your Lore Store unlocks and starting loadouts.



[h3] The fearsome foes of Fahrul[/h3]
With each new chapter also comes a boss requiring your steely determination to conquer. You'll be fighting familiar foes as well as brand new adversaries with never-seen-before abilities that will truly test your fortitude, alone and as a party.

These boss battles are now multi-stage affairs, adding even more depth and excitement to each and every encounter. Prepare to fight for survival across several stages of combat, each escalating in difficulty compared to the last.

Some of these powerful foes possess the ability to summon waves of new enemies, ensuring your battles become ever more intense and volatile; whilst others use their size to dominate the battle grid.

One such aquatic antagonist sure to make waves that you may remember from For The King - is the Kraken! This colossal sucker will test your mettle like never before, promising you and your companions a battle so epic, your titanic exploits will make a monstrous splash in the annals of Fahrulian history.

There are also many more over-zealous villains waiting to be squished that we can't wait for you to meet, including one ultimate boss who lies in wait for you...



[h3]Play your way [/h3]
If the bosses are proving too difficult or if you're slaying enemies without breaking a sweat, don't worry! You can now adjust the difficulty and starting settings of each chapter, enabling you to tailor your adventure to your skill level.

In For The King II you can play how you want to play, if you don't like how you have completed a chapter, go back and revisit it, explore further, fight in a different way; and ultimately unlock more shiny rewards. Once you're happy with your progress, move forward to the next chapter until you are swamped in glory and renown!



For now, so long, the Resistance has sent out its call and we must answer - will you join us in the fight for Fahrul's freedom?

Begin your adventure, November 2nd!

If you havent already, make sure to add For The King II to your Steam wishlist and keep checking back for more Book of Lore content as weve got more lined up for you after release

For The King II is coming to Steam on November 2nd and we could not be more excited that you will be setting foot once again into Fahrul on an adventure of a lifetime.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1676840/For_The_King_II/

The game has taken a small team of thirteen over three years to craft and bring to life. Being a rogue-lite game that encourages you to replay again and again, we hope that you and your friends will enjoy For The King II for years to come as you explore all that Farhul has to offer. We cant wait for you to loot all the items, weapons and attire that you can lay your hands on, and unravel all the mysteries that await you, all whilst realising your true potential as a freedom fighter within the Resistance.

[h3]Exclusive Pre-Purchase Rewards[/h3]

We have created an exclusive offer for adventurers who pre-purchase the game before launch day. This special offer is for the brave souls willing to sign up early to join the Resistance and be the first to set foot on the path to freedom once the fight begins on November 2nd.

We have assembled the finest gifts to aid you on your quest to ensure you traverse Fahruls paths, forests, swamps, seas and dungeons in style, with the rousing chorus of the Resistance orchestra in your ears to spur you on in the darkest of moments.

Alongside these bounteous gifts, pre-purchasers will also enjoy a 10% discount on the price of the game! This discount will be available for a limited time during For The King IIs launch.




[h3]The Long Road Ahead[/h3]
Our commitment to For The King II will span many years. Our ambition has always been to create a game that will grow and evolve with you, expanding with new adventures and new ways to play as the community grows within it.

We have lofty ambitions for where For The King II will be in the years to come, and we hope to continue creating content for the game way beyond the lifespan of the original For The King, a game that grew significantly after launch into the experience you know it to be now. When we first came out of For The Kings Early Access, we had one campaign around nine hours of adventure content and it took us three years to create a game with multiple adventures and game modes.

For The King II is already three times as large as For The King was when we launched, and we are already working on content that we will be releasing after launch. We plan to bring significant free updates to the game to expand the world and provide new game modes to enjoy solo or with your friends, as well as frequent and significant paid expansions that will provide new adventures, items, weapons and classes to enjoy.

It has taken us many years to bring For The King II to you, but the adventure is only just beginning.

See you in Fahrul friends!

Weve been working hard making For The King II and are so grateful for your words of encouragement and the building excitement we feel from you about the game coming this year. We are a small Indie development team and it really does mean everything to have both your feedback and support.

We are making this game for you and want to deliver the best experience we can, which is why we now need your help to really test the game into Beta.

Sign-ups are now open and the Closed Beta will run from the 10th 16th May so please join us and bring your friends!

We know multiplayer functionality is so important and is part of what makes For The King such a fun game to play. We have been testing with a small group of Alpha players but this Beta will help us understand how the game performs live with significantly more players and all of the variables that come with the real world player experience.

As such, please expect that you may have some stability issues and you may discover gameplay bugs, this is a Beta in which we want to push the game as much as possible so we can find as many issues as we can pre-launch.

With your help we will be able to polish and buff For The King II, we cant wait to discover what you think of the game!

See you in Fahrul and remember to spread the word Adventurers!

Welcome back to the Book of Lore, Adventurers!

Today, we're talking about the story of For The King II. Just a heads up, there may be some light For The King I spoilers, but don't worry, there won't be any For The King II spoilers. We just want to set the scene for you.

You'll also meet a few new and returning playable classes. Let's get into it!

[previewyoutube=Ax_S9l1QiMo;full][/previewyoutube]

Fahrul owes you a great debt after the events of the first game. And if you haven't beaten it yet... there's still time!

With the original For The King, we wanted to create a whimsical world inhabited by fun and quirky characters. But our story was also quite dark and ominous.

We really liked that juxtaposition--it allowed us to break the tension of what otherwise could have been a grim experience, especially considering how challenging the game can be.

Things seem quite peaceful after the first adventure though. But now a new danger threatens the land and the people of Fahrul. Theyll need your help once again.



[h2]Setting the Scene [/h2]
We wont spoil too much, but once again Fahrul has been plunged into darkness. The once peaceful and prosperous land is now a place of paranoia and tyranny.

Queen Rosomon, in her new reign, has grown wicked, and has ordinary Fahrulians feeling uneasy. While some citizens now live in fear, others have formed a resistance.

And that's where our story begins. Our heroes have joined the resistance, aiming to rid Fahrul of this ruthlessness and distress and bring it back to its once peaceful ways.

We're looking to push the extremes in For The King II. The story is darker overall, but we're also leaning more heavily into the whimsical characters and scenarios they find themselves in. We also want to show how Fahrul has changed in the time between the first and second games. There is a significant time jump, so it'll be interesting to see returning heroes and locations!

[h2]Unsung Heroes [/h2]
If you played the original For The King, you'll notice some familiar classes returning to the front line.



The Blacksmith is the squad's tank. Troubled times bring demand for weapons, so they have no shortage of work these days. Many Blacksmiths have decided theyd rather not sell to the Queens Guard, a position that is not appreciated by Rosomons new favored enforcers.

The Hunter is our ranged specialist. They are not well-loved in Rosomons new order. Theyre armed, self-sufficient, and at a moments notice they can melt away into the wilderness. Just the type to chafe at her cloying new laws. Also just the type to resist.

The Scholar is an expert in the use of magic. The Queens Guard have descended on the schools and universities of Fahrul looking to sniff out any brewing dissent. Smart scholars, of which there are many, have decided this is a fine time for an extended sabbatical.

But these are just some of our returning heroes. For The King II brings with it a slew of new blood.

Now that the overworld is much larger (and I mean MUCH larger), we felt we needed a class that specialized in mapping and terrain traversal.

The Pathfinder also wields a boomerang, so how could we not have her here?

And finally, the Alchemist brings a blend of magic and chemistry to the fight. In For The King II, we've added many different types of potion bombs. We felt the need for a class to specialize in these new throwables, so enter the guy with the crazy hair!

We'll keep the rest of For The King II's new classes a mystery for now though. Thank you all for tuning in, once again. We've got more Book of Lore videos coming at you very soon, so keep checking back.

Catch you in the next one, adventurers!

Starting from today and ending on Sunday 13, grab For The King for an amazing 70% off!

Thirsty for more? Take a look at what For The King 2 has in store...
Welcome to the Book of Lore, Adventurers!

This brand new devlog series will periodically update you on what the IronOak team is working on and what you can expect from For The King II next year. Today, were talking four-player coop and the revamped combat system.

[previewyoutube=SWTLISZ31Nk;full][/previewyoutube]

When we were making the first For The King, three players felt right. We spent a lot of time wondering if we should add a 4th player, but we were a smaller team then, and it always ended up breaking the experience we were trying to build.

Three was a more manageable number for us then.

But now the IronOak team is bigger, more experienced and, honestly, a little more wild. Four-player coop is by far the most requested feature for the sequel, and were giving it to you.



[h2]Party of Four[/h2]
We've managed to make many of the more cooperative elements of For The King II feel like the first game, just with an extra player. Sharing loot and gold works similarly, navigating the overworld feels right, and the overall tactical gameplay is sharper than ever. We've done a lot to improve and revamp these things, but they'll have a nice familiarity to them.

But weve also included some welcome changes.

Splitting your party feels much more effective this time around. With three players, it always felt very risky to go in separate directions: that risk is still there now, but with an extra player, you can be a little more intentional about how you go about it. There's a lot of versatility in the way you can mix and match different characters. We want you to be able to cover more ground while remaining competitive in battle.



Multiplayer downtime has been a large focus for us, which may now be extended with an additional player. Because of this, we're giving you a little more freedom during the off-turns by allowing you to browse your inventory, read stats and purchase items.

It's also important for us to keep any UI driving the action synced across all four players so that you can discuss options without having to narrate what is happening on screen to one another. HUDs have also been reworked to present the additional information on screen more efficiently.

One of the biggest challenges with adding an extra player, though, is how it impacts combat. So instead of trying to just fit another player onto the screen, we've entirely revamped it.



[h2]The Act of War[/h2]
One of the first things you'll notice about the For The King II combat improvements are the two battle lanes: the battlefield now consists of 2 4x2 battle grids; one on your side and one on your opponent's.

Adding multiple rows to combat has added this concept of empty space to the mix, and with that, there is now a whole bunch of new of options when it comes to decision making.

The back row provides an evasion bonus while the front allows characters with shields to guard those behind them. Positioning is now just as important as anything else.



Attackers can now target empty space to maximize splash damage, and defenders can spread themselves apart to negate splash patterns of incoming attacks. The empty spaces also allow players to move out of harm's way or reposition to gain a tactical advantage.

Some attacks are spatially dependent now. These can only be performed from certain rows, so different action options will be available or unavailable depending on where your character is positioned.

Some abilities can now provide bonuses to certain squares in the grid. Move a character to that square to take advantage of the bonus.

We've also added push and pull actions in combat. Push actions will move enemies in the front row to the back and pull actions will bring enemies in the back row to the front. You can really mess with your enemies plans by moving them around to give yourself the upper hand; omit opponent attack options, bring them out from protection, move them into a splash damage zone, cancel any stat bonuses.

The battle grid lets you approach combat in more ways than ever, both in how you attack but also how you defend. We cannot wait for you to try it out next year.

If you haven't already, make sure you add For The King II to your Steam wishlist and keep checking back for more the Book of Lore content, we've got a bunch more planned for you. Thanks again for all the support.

See you soon, adventurers!

Happy golfing, adventurers?

People of Fahrul,

Since the death of my husband, our beloved king, we have been a broken kingdom.
Devastated, oppressed, and exploited by the chaos wrought by our enemies.

4 years ago, I sent out a call for heroes, and you, the ordinary citizens of Fahrul, the blood of these lands, the defenders of my realm stepped forth.

Over 3 million of you laid down your lives to realise my dream of restoring our kingdom to its rightful glory, and now the threats that once stalked across open fields, threatening the very core of our kingdom, have been destroyed.

But now is not the time to rest on our laurels, we must be vigilant for those that would seek to undermine what we have built.

Just as wretched insects scatter into the safety of the dark, so too have our enemies hidden themselves amongst our ranks. Setting wicked plans in motion from the shadows that threaten to topple our kingdom once again.

But I will not idly stand by as Fahruls enemies mobilize.

I will not let the sacrifices of those that came before be in vain.

And I will not let Fahruls fate slip from my hands!

Hence forth, I will personally be taking over all communications to ensure my word, and only my word, is spoken.

To all my remaining loyal subjects in Fahrul, let this be a warning that the peace of a once proud kingdom and the hopes of an oppressed people now depend on you.

Your Queen,
Rosomon

The End.

The crowd gathered around the campfire stared in stunned silence, as the storyteller sat back down; their heads swimming with the images of the creatures they had just heard about.


Greetings!

Wed like to send a massive thank you to the whole For The King community for sending in your awesome, creative and downright scary Fahrul Christmas Creatures for our recent competition.

We had so many entries across Twitter and Discord that it made picking 3 winners very difficult

However, we have reached our decision!
In no particular order:


[h3]WINNER 1[/h3]


Our first winner is Mango with their terrifying Frightful Fir!

Seeing this creation fully realised in 3d was terrifying! They had done such a great job it was almost like they had plucked this beast straight from the game itself!


[h3]WINNER 2[/h3]


Our second winner is Scourge with their epic tale of 3 brave heroes battling Winters fury!

This brilliant story really captured the feel of Fahrul and kept us hooked until the end - We also loved your creative rhyming!


[h3]WINNER 3[/h3]


Our third and final winner is Lvl 1 Sweaty Nerd with the scary (yet adorable) Yule Cat Scourge!

With lovely art, an accompanying story and ideas about item drops, world effects and battle you really pulled out all the stops with this one!


Thank you again to everyone who entered the competition and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for more fun community contests coming soon!

Adventurers!

It's been more than a month since the Lost Civilization Adventure was launched, and we welcomed brutal arena fights into our hearts. We want to thank you for your ongoing support!

Since then, we've released a flurry of updates to smooth your path to imminent doom victory, so we thought we'd summarize some of the major changes below.


[h3]KEY UPDATES[/h3]
We've made some balancing adjustments to the way disease spreads, group life drain and the friendly neighborhood Golems. Those loveable hulks are probably just misunderstood.



Some of the most reported issues we've addressed:

• The Dark Carnival is open for business and, you know, instant death
  
• Enemies in multiplayer are back in sync
  
• Royal Chests can be identified by their shiny royalness, so save those identify scrolls!
  
• You shouldn't get stuck in the Forgotten Cellar, Water Temple, or a city, unless of course there's a decent tavern on site
  
• Encounters no longer spawn in the same hex
  
• The Sally Forth achievement has been repaired
  
• Ports don't go missing any more
  
• And we've found the Armory keys for now
  

Fixes issue where some players could not end turn, or progress, this was due to invalid placements on hexes like Poison, or Cursed
- Fixed an issue where entering Parid would result in a failure loop that constantly assigned a quest for the Kings Maze

Also, in the previous patch notes: I forgot to mention that the Sally Forth achievement has been reconnected as well.

Thank you

Fixes issues with placement of objects in the adventures
- Some encounters/quests were placed on inaccessible hexes - this has been addressed. In addition: if you have a save game with some quest destinations located in a forest, or un-walkable hex: this will correct those save games upon load
- This patch has an added benefit of making generating the adventures themselves faster, as we re-factored some logic there

Sorry to say that for those who encountered the bug where the cult device, and the cult battle in the For The King Adventure spawned in the same place: we could not correct your save game. You will need to create a new one.


Thank you Adventurers!


EDIT
I forgot to mention that that Sally Forth achievement has been fixed as well!

Fixes the problem when leaving a sea cave during the Pirates Den quest

Hail Heroes!

We've got an update to address a number of issues. This includes moving the xbranch over to the main branch with it's changes.

The version you're looking to be on now is 1.1.00.11309, and it is rolling out across pc platforms now.

The full list of all changes is below:

Changes
- Disease propagation in the overworld dropped to 25%
- Disease in dungeons and encounters no longer spreads
- Nerfed Golems
- Nerfed Group Life Drain

Fixes
- Made a change that prevents encounters, and ports from spawning in water bodies that are less than 3 mega hexes
- Re worked the balloon rescue logic in the event that there are no living players in a balloon but the balloon is still flying
- Fixed a bug where some unique encounters were being generated twice (eg: the Whale Dungeon)
- Fixed a rare occurrence where a confusion spell could cause a soft lock when the confused character used an item that also causes confusion... (Confused yet?)
- Fixed an issue that could cause a soft lock when fighting the High Shaman if the user was spam clicking
- Fixed a log spam (and performance drop) when a boat was destroyed that had an active Kraken Timer on it
- Fixed a number of issues where loading games would not get pas the Creating Adventure section, or character selection
- Fixed an issue on mac and linux that resulted in crashes when entering Harazuel
- Added a solution that should fix an issue on mac and linux that resulted in a soft lock when entering a Tavern fight
- Fixed an issue where a soft lock could occur when a chest is revealed after various encounters
- Fixed an issue where a soft lock could occur when an identify scroll is used on a chest after various encounters

Hi all,

We've been working hard on fixes, but with our new internal process: the builds are coming out slower due to being reviewed by our testing department.
Since some of the bugs we've fixed are pretty damaging to some players, we've decided to re-introduce the "xbranch" that we used to have to let you get access before it has gone through our full QA department for sign off. (We test internally as developers, but it hasn't gone through a third party audit.)


Of course the disclaimer is that since they're untested: we don't guarantee anything. It could crash, call you names, or tear a hole in the space-time continuum. We really can't say...


All that being said, the xbranch is now available in the BETAS section of your game properties (right-click->properties in steam)

Here's some of the fixes we have in the xbranch now:

- Fixed a number of issues where loading games would not get pas the Creating Adventure section, or character selection
- Fixed an issue on mac and linux that resulted in crashes when entering Harazuel
- Fixed an issue on mac and linux that resulted in a soft lock when entering a Tavern fight
- Re worked the balloon rescue logic in the event that there are no living players in a balloon but the balloon is still flying
- Rebalance on disease propagation
- Rebalance on Golems, and life drain
- Fixed an issue where a soft lock could occur when a chest is revealed after various encounters
- Fixed an issue where a soft lock could occur when an identify scroll is used on a chest after various encounters

Greetings New and Old Adventurers!

Weve had a recent influx of new players from the Epic Store, and needless to say we were a bit overwhelmed.
But fear not! Weve made some improvements to the Lobby by adding better sorting and a much needed search function.


There are still some issues with some games not showing up initially in the Europe Server so you may need to hit refresh to get the most up-to-date list of games. Were looking into a fix for this. As a thanks for all the new players, were unlocking ALL the seasonal goodies in the Lore Store for the next 2 weeks. Youll need to actually purchase them in the Lore Store to keep them unlocked, so get out there and start banking Lore!

Greetings Adventurers Old and New Alike!

Weve had a recent influx of new fodder adventurers so to show our appreciation well be temporarily unlocking ALL SEASONAL UNLOCKS for 2 weeks. So if youre the completionist type, or just really want to play as a Merling with Angel Wings and a Santa Hat, make sure you purchase the special unlocks from the Lore Store within the next 2 weeks.

Weve also received our shipment of For The King Art Books for our Kickstarter backers, and they look amazing! We order extra copies which will be available via our website. This is a one time very limited run, so if youre interested, head over there now to check them out.

https://ironoakgames.com/product/for-the-king-art-book/


120 full color pages with a gorgeous matte black cover and gold foil logo make this the perfect coffee table book. Inside theres tons of images from early development onwards explaining our processes and showing off some never before seen concept art and fully rendered spreads.

Fixes

• Fixed a potential issue with the ground texture in Harazuel
  

• Temporarily unlocking all Seasonal Unlocks!
  
• Lore Store unlocks are no longer shared between accounts on the same computer
  

Hey all!

This is an update that has been very detail oriented and slow to produce... But it's mainly to focus on compatibility between our various PC Platforms/Store Fronts.

FTK is now available on Steam, GOG, Microsoft Store, and (soon tm) Origin.

For those that have the game on the Microsoft Store right now as part of PC Game Pass: you will have noticed that you could not play with your friends on other stores. This was always temporary - and now it's fixed - pending certification from the MS Store.

Release Schedule

• Steam and GOG released today (2019-08-21)


• Microsoft Store must go through certification on each update - so we're assuming this will get released early next week


• Origin is not yet officially released, but pending their cert process - within two weeks

Hi all,
A minor update today. Mainly for some edits to some localization, as well as a back-end file size update.

Updates / Fixes

• fixed bug where rain / snow appeared above clouds


• added ragdoll to forest mystics


• improved death fx for wraiths and some boss enemies


• improved Japanese translation


• fixed a few errors in Korean translation


• optimized weather FX


• reduced file size by 0.3GB

Hello Adventurers!

We've got a nice juicy update for you today. Lately, we've been focusing hard on console ports, and that's taken up a lot of time.

But all the while we've been slowly working on some balance changes, and quality of life upgrades.

Let's get into some specific highlights.

New Languages!
Japanese, and Korean localization have been added!

Trading Cards
Weve added 6 trading cards!

Boat Reclamation / Boat Selling
Boats can now be "reclaimed" back into deeds, and carried, or sold. To do so: you can put any boat next to a port/water town, and use the services menu to reclaim it. It costs nothing to do so, but the boat must be fully repaired before you can reclaim it.


Now in the event that you buy a boat in a smaller body of water, you can simply reclaim it, and take it somewhere else. Let the portaging begin!


Difficulty Changes
We've made some rules changes to all our adventures. Apprentice, and Journeyman are now easier by way of increased lives, and Chaos times. This should translate to making the initial difficulty curve of the adventures more survivable.

For the specifics of the changes: scroll to the bottom of this post.

The aim here is to get more people playing Journeyman! This is our favourite way to play, and we're hoping you'll all agree.

AND DON'T FORGET... You can always customize the difficulty of the game with the House Rules button:



Changes to Vexor - FTK Mode
Vexor and his Chaos Hounds on Apprentice and Journeyman have changed. In general, they've both been slowed down a bit, and do less damage. The Hounds are also less evasive, and have less crit chance.
Vexor has been made to exchange some attacks with buffs, and will also do fewer group Chaos attacks.


Updates / Fixes

• Japanese and Korean languages added


• Boat Reclamation - turn boats back in to deeds to carry or sell


• New dead character display in overworld, and on character HUD


• Fixed an issue where Snow Caves would spawn the royal chest in a room other than the last one


• Fixed an exploit where infinite gold could be generated in multiplayer


• Ability to skip the intro videos on game start


• Fixed an instance where the item card could be stuck on screen between turns online


• Fixed an issue that resulted in an impassible sea hex


• Fixed an issue that resulted in poison/curse particles not going away in dungeons


• Fixed an issue where backpacks would not be visible after a revive in a dungeon


• Fixed an issue where hud text when getting poisoned would appear twice


• Fixed a rare issue where mashing the options button on a controller while an adventure was starting could result in lost focus and soft lock


• Removed the ability to accidentally buy the top level pipe that would do nothing, but still spend gold


• Removed the buy option for pipes, which resulted in some confusion

Hey all,
We hope your holiday times are going well.

Starting now until January 7th, there is a new Lore Store Unlock in honour of New Years!

Greetings Adventurers!

We have a nice little holiday surprise for you today.

Hurry before they disappear on the 7th! Or you'll have to wait a whole year.



Happy Holidays,
IronOak Games

Hi guys,

A simple hotfix here.

We fixed a problem with the Sea Kings boat damages. They were doubling up in some instances, and this was a bug... We apologize for this, and it certainly caused undue frustration.

Also, there was a problem with a treasure chest that would crash if it turned in to a mimic - this is fixed as well.

Happy weekend!

Greetings all,
Some updates for you today.

Weve received a number of reports from people who are getting shipwrecked and believe their run is over - but we just wanna remind everyone that the safety stone in your inventory can get you out of dangerous situations like that.

Fixes / changes

• Added shipwreck notification to remind players of the safety stone


• Fixed a bug where a particular treasure chest in Gold Rush was not collectible


• Fixed an issue where during the loot phase, the item card could disappear and not reappear if the player was mousing over belt items


• Polished the model of the Female Hunter


• Added missing remote location info over the player HUD (eg: In Market) for when playing online and another player is in a haunt, sanctum, or stone hero

Hi guys,

We've got some hotfixes for today.

• Fixed an issue where purchasing a boat with a controller would result in lost control


• Fixed an issue where resuming a game from Dungeon Crawl could result in a black screen


• Fixed an issue where the item menu could remain open in combat permitting exploitation

Hello Adventurers,

Weve got a small update that includes a fix for the Item Use Bug. We thank you so much for your patience with this one. I say a fix, but we instead decided to rebuild the whole interaction of items. We really like it, and we hope you do to!

Now in both the stores, and player inventory: youll be greeted with a handy vertical context menu.



And YES. It closes with escape, or b on the controller, or by clicking anywhere off of it. ;)

Fixes / changes

• Fixed the inability to use/equip/buy items with a brand new snazzy item interaction menu


• Fixed a bug where you could not use the safety stone with a controller


• Added a snazzy new intro splash logo and screen

Ahoy, buckos!

We have some juicy fixes for you. Sadly: we have not yet fixed the inventory item use bug because we just cant seem to reproduce it. So were going ahead with some dramatic reconstruction of that whole system which should bypass that issue altogether. We expect that will be ready some time this week.

Fixes / changes

• Fixed an issue online where the Treasure Hunter would not be unlockable if the host already had it


• Fixed an issue where getting killed by a powder monkey by splash damage would not trigger the Achievement


• Fixed an issue where the new lore store items could become non-unlockable


• Fixed a freeze when a treasure chest, or treasure clam that turned into a mimic would result in a hang online[*/]

Ahoy, ye scurvy bilge rats!

err, pardon?

Sorry Joe Player Ive just been spending so much time in character playing our New Adventure...

You mean its here?!

Aye! Were pleased to announce the latest and greatest ocean themed adventure:

Into The Deep

An ancient evil rises. Take to the sea and freely roam the waters and island realms of Fahrul to gear up, level up, and tech up to save Fahrul from its imminent watery doom.

Key Features us, please

In addition to the standard things we release with any new adventure like: new weapons, and new items - weve also got things like new enemies, new water based encounters, a new character to unlock, a new magic/immunity type, new ocean/island based map generation, new boats, and a totally new weapon type: guns!

Lets break some key points down.

Guns
Guns are high damage dealing weapons that usually have lower number of slots to roll. There are one handed pistols, two handed long guns, and handheld cannons. Once you fire a shot with a gun, you have to reload it via a combat action. Some guns will have a basic melee attack that doesnt need reloading. There is no such thing as ammo for the gun, you just need to reload after each shot.

Water Encounters/Water Combat
Weve spent a lot of time filling the ocean realms with as much to do as you have on land. Weve taken loads of encounters from the land, and made water versions of them. In addition: weve added many totally new water encounters. On the combat side: weve added both water bround creatures to engage, and grouped enemies on boats.
Youll fight on a diorama of your boat when you engage water based enemies. Some enemies can do damage to your boat during combat.

Boats and Boat changes
The keen observers of you will have noticed weve released a few new features centered around boats in the last few updates. We used the Into The Deep adventure to give us an excuse to expand the features of boats. While most of these changes arent new as of today: well still explain them for the sake of completeness.
There are multiple types of boats that can be purchased. Each one has different stats from the last, directly scaling with price. Boats can now be repaired at any port, or town adjacent to a water hex. You can even buy boats from towns adjacent to water hexes - no longer are the limited to purchase at ports only.

Water magic / Wet status
Weve added a new magic type, and corresponding immunity type. The wet status temporarily removes all immunities on both players, and enemies. Thats right. You can poison a jelly, bleed a skelly, and even remove evasion from Fergus. Of course, it wouldnt be FTK if we didnt add items that grant water immunity, and edit some items retroactively.

Combat Revival
Yup. Its what it says. You can now spend a combat action to revive a fallen character (assuming you have lives left). The character is rushed as well, so he can heal himself, or roll the dice.

Turbo Mode and Attack skipping
In the options menu, you can enable Turbo Mode that will speed the entire game up to 1.5x speed. This only works for offline games - meaning single player, and local coop. On top of that: you can now speed combat animations when double clicking/double pressing your attack. This works online AND offline


New Features / changes

• New Into The Deep Adventure


• 8 new Achievements


• 4 additional boat types. Boats have varying degrees of movement rolls, HP, and even armor.


• New chest types and of course, new mimics


• On ship combat


• Enemy ships


• New magic type, Water. Wet status temporarily removes all immunities for both players AND enemies. Bleed skellys bleed!


• New weapon type, Guns. There are 3 sub classes of guns, Blunderbuss, Musket, and Cannon. Guns typically require a single slot and are very powerful. However they must be reloaded after firing.


• New enemy type, Suicidal. Suicidal enemies will cause massive damage but kill themselves in the process.


• New Island Realms. Ashfall Islands and Forest Isles.


• New Island tech. Some realms now have outlying islands off their coast. Larger continents may now be broken up into smaller archipelagos.


• New and improved Sea Caves.


• New rapier animations for the inner swashbuckler in you.


• Various tweaks to the Kraken battle to take advantage of new Wet status and new boat types.


• Some enemies can now cause boat damage with their attacks.


• 20 new items, 23 new weapons, 1 new character class, 32 new enemies (8 new races), 12 new lore store unlocks, and 24 new encounters


• Boats now purchasable from towns with at least 1 adjacent sea hex


• Improved Shipwreck logic, all characters will now shipwreck to same hex

• Combat Revival: revive and rush a fallen character in combat as a combat action


• You can take gold and unequipped items from dead players


• Mouseover belt items of offturn characters


• Escape button now closes menus before opening the game options menu


• Menu interaction cleanup: when opening the sub menu of an item, the sub menu will remain open after your chosen option is selected (assuming there is more than one of the items available) - This works in stores, and character inventories

• Normalized camera shake in combat, reducing it for most cases.


• Slowing an enemy speeds him up. In a specific set of circumstances: casting a slow on an enemy could cause him to speed up


• Fixed an issue where Dungeon Crawl could spawn the party on a very small island


• Fixed a bug where the Frozen Pool would deal double damage on failure


• Polished the Noble Dress outfit so its not so poofy


• Added missing SFX to combat revive


• Fixed Encyclopedia entries that incorrectly stated that 10 is the minimum stat (30 is the minimum)


• Fixed Encyclopedia entries that incorrectly stated that Elite Disarm only requires a single slot (it requires fewer slots with less punishing outcomes)


• Fixed some logical issues with what items can be used between dungeon rooms, or at stairs of dungeons


• Certain weapons now use blended overworld animations to avoid clipping and awkward weapon holding


• Streamlined various controller issues

Hello Adventurers,
Before the new adventure: weve got a quick hotfix here for you.

This is mainly regarding the dreaded DisconnectByClientTimeout error. With some more community help, weve managed to make some changes to how games are loaded online that has fixed this issue for our testers.

Weve also had a couple behind the scenes updates that we didnt put up notes for, so Ill include them here now.

Fixes / changes

• Further attempts at addressing DisconnectByClientTimeout error for online resume games


• Altered the Female Woodcutters appearance


• Fixed some minor modeling errors


• Fixed some blurry UI elements

Hello Adventurers,
Weve got a hotfix for you today.

Mainly there was a problem a few people reported where they lost control of their characters and they made attacks without input. This was actually that another player had taken over their turn, and was making attacks on their behalf without really noticing. Anywho - thanks to those that helped track it down.

Fixes / changes

• Fixed an issue that allowed a player to use an orb, and attack in the same turn and commandeer a subsequent players/characters turn


• Fixed an issue that would result in a crash if a player tried to hand in Gold in Gold Rush


• Fixed missing text string for boggling


• Fixed lighting bug in final dungeon


• Reduce damage of Witch's Broom by 1 and added standard attack


• Staff of the Goat Wizard now requires 4 slots for Ice AOE attack instead of 3


• Tome of Wonder now requires 4 slots for Group Rush instead of 3


• Fixed the placement of a few loot items in Item Cards

Hey all,
A quick hotfix for you.

• Fixed an issue where the Load Game screen would freeze the game


• Fix for the Sea Cave trap texture

Greeting Adventurers. May the Doot doot be with you.

Its Gold Rush! A new multiplayer only Uncooperative Mode!

What does Uncooperative Mode mean, JayNic?

Well Im glad you asked, Joe Player. In Gold Rush, you play against other players and are tasked by everyone's favourite scourge Fergus the Mad to be the first to deliver 100 gold coins to his hidden vault. Youre in the (brand new) realm of The Midnight Woods. A land of perpetual darkness, and spoopy night time enemies.

The winner is granted a random one of three brand new cosmetic Lore Unlocks.

• Strategically dragging your party in to a dungeon when theyre across the map

• Its very compact, and dense. The whole game can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes


• The world is landlocked, and small


• Unlimited lives. Death is just a temporary setback


• Sale, sale, sale! The realm is desperate for customers. Towns, Merchants, and Dungeon Shops are all cheap.


• XP boost. There is a minor XP boost to make things go even quicker


• Loot, loot, loot. Theres more loot to scoop up.


• The amount of gold to collect is available as a House Rules slider, so you can adjust your game length as you like.

• A new realm: the Midnight Woods


• A new Achievement for winning Gold Rush


• Weapon switching in combat


• Safety Stone: teleport to safety at an increasing cost of penalty to stats

• New ocean tiles with smaller islands to break up the look of the sea


• Added more items to the Magic Merchant

• Fixed an issue where enemies would spawn too densely


• Fixed an exploit where using more info on a hidden hex would take the player to the encyclopedia for what was hidden there


• Fixed a bug where you could upgrade the Dragon Pipe without needing it


• When receiving a main quest with a hidden location: the camera will pan to the middle of the destinations realm, instead of on top of the hidden location


• Encyclopedia Menu tweaked, possibly in preparation for something in the future...


• Fixed a bug where the Walloper sold for too little


• Fixed an issue where +1 focus appeared twice from some encounter results


• Fixed a bug where a chaos attack that was supposed to drain focus, would not drain focus


• Using Pickup Party in a boat will now pickup members in other boats


• Fixed an issue that would result in incorrect roll slot percentages communicated between clients online


• Fixed a bug where players could not use belt items at the end of a dungeon floor

• Fleeing and leaving your friends all alone in combat


• Hoarding all the loot


• Stealing Sanctums


• Risking it all at a gambling den

Hail Adventurers,

We’ve got a small update for you today, and a tease on a new feature that’s to come that many people have requested.

First, the update. Thanks to everyone who reached out regarding their experiences with the DisconnectByClientTimeout error during game load. We’ve made some even deeper adjustments, and after extensive testing: we’re happy to release it.

Fixes/Changes

• Further work on the DisconnectByClientTimeout error when loading an online game


• Fixed a game hang where a character who was poisoned dies in a dungeon without any lives left, but still has a sanctum would not get revived, and cause an endless loop of autosaving and turn switching

• Any character with an additional weapon in his inventory will have the new icon and option available


• You’ll be able to pick your desired weapon from a list to equip it


• This action will take a full combat turn but will still permit belt item use

Hey everyone! We have a small - but potentially high impact update for you.

Notably: we’ve done a lot of hard research on problems that some people have when loading a co-op online game, and getting a DisconnectByClientTimeout error.

It’s a really strange one to work on, because it seems to have a lot of moving parts including the quality of internet connection, wifi vs ethernet, the progress of the save, and the speed of the various computers involved.

We’ve made a change that should alleviate some of these occurrences, and we’re eager to see how many people it helps.

It should be noted that this may increase game load times to about 20-ish seconds. We really couldn’t avoid this at this stage, and we hope it’s not too impactful for you.

Fixes/Changes

• Potential fix for DisconnectByClientTimeout error when loading an online game


• Fixed a game hang when a character dies on his turn, and at the same time: a Chaos Shrine is revealed


• Added some behind the scenes play-data analytics gathering (no personal information is collected)

Save 33% on For The King during this week's Midweek Madness*!

*Offer ends Friday at 10AM Pacific Time

Hey everyone! We hope your summer is going well. We have a small update for you.

Fixes/Changes

• Fixed a bug in Hildebrant’s Cellar that resulted in the Rooms display going out of sync after a while in online co-op


• Adjusted difficulty of Hildebrant’s cellar beyond Level 10


• In the cellar end game screen - (because you’ve all gotten so good) - we’ve added the ability to show more room tokens

Greetings Adventurers,

We’re so happy to see so many new players enjoying the game. Not only that, but our dedicated lifers continue to cleanse Fahrul.

Fun fact! According to our analytics: the average player makes it to room 17.6 in Hildebrant’s Cellar before their Party Wipe. Neat.

Here’s your weekend hotfixes and updates:

Fixes/Changes

• Reduced Goblin max damage from 9 to 8


• Fixed an issue where Orbs (eg: Smoke Orb, or Precious Pearl, etc...) were not sending their buff status effects across the network


• Fixed a crash that could occur when dying at the end of Frost Adventure


• Fix an issue where you would not get control back of your character if he was confused and randomly used a panax to cure himself. The panax will now cure the confuse status.


• Fixed an issue where having an immunity to confuse would still cause you to become confused by Hildebrant’s Reserve


• Fixed an issue where in a very specific set of circumstances: a hex may be shown as “explored” but would not reveal any hidden POI’s or Encounters on it. Resulting in some users not being able to find dungeons in dungeon crawl mode.


• Fixed nighttime lighting on character select screen


• Fixed the hobo becoming invisible if you selected the Demon Skin in character selection. Now you can enjoy the demon in all his shirtless wonder.


• Fixed a bug where a crash could occur at the end of a dungeon that subsequently is cleared from the world


• Added a touch of color to the dungeon room map


• Fixed an issue where you could not change the locality if loading a game from the Online Server Browser

Hey all!
Hope your wallets are not suffering too much from the summer sale.

Thanks to reports, and feedback: we have a few fixes today.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where your trophies for completing adventures in various game modes / difficulties were not showing up


• Fixed a display issue where the online server browser would show improper values in the game description section


• Fixed an issue with Sanctums not syncing online in Hildebrant’s Cellar

• Fixed online lobby viewport size

Hi everyone, we squashed a few notable bugs.

Fixes

• Polish language will now return the correct language


• Crashing at the end of a dungeon with a Busker


• Dungeon loot not leveling up


• Hildebrant's Cellar crash at level 10

Greetings Adventurers!

We’re proud to announce another meaty update! We’ve teased you with our last two roadmap announcements that showed off some of the key major features in this update. Now we’re happy to come at you with the full list.

"Great timing! Just in time for -"

Nothing, Joe Player - just in time for nothing... There is no significance in the timing of this update whatsoever, because nothing has been officially announced.

"Oh… uhh, right."

Anywho… If you haven’t followed our last couple roadmap announcements, I’ll give a quick run down of the major features.

New Endless Dungeon Adventure
Titled Hildebrant’s Cellar engage in a never ending dungeon that will drive you to the depths of the world until your inevitable doom. In here you unlock new items costumes and achievements. You’ll even encounter new traps, and new enemies.



House Rules
A new feature when starting a game that allows you to customize some of the key difficulty aspects of the game. Namely: Chaos Frequency, Starting life pool, and Economy inflation. We explained this in the previous roadmap announcement, but I’ll explain it again here.

House rules

• Chaos frequency will increase or decrease the number of rounds between when Chaos is set to increment. Assuming, of course, that the game mode has Chaos in it.


• Life Pool will let you increase, or decrease the starting lives. To be clear: this does not change the amount of lives you’ll find in your adventures. And as always: there is no cap to how many you can gather.


• Economy Inflation Oh, don’t lie: you skipped right to this one, didn’t you!? This will permit you to adjust the percentage increase of inflating items over time. This does not change base prices of items, and does not change starting gold, gold drops, or item drops in any way. It’s only the inflation of the small set of items that naturally inflate in price over time.

• We’ve added Polish language support! Zwycięstwo!


• Pipe upgrades are now done through the market. They show as an item in the list, and are purchased and equipped for the active player. The pipes themselves don’t change, but we wanted to make sure people weren’t missing out on this essential upgrade in games. This has enabled us to add a shop to the Pipesmith encounter just like other wandering merchants. She sells some herbs now too!


Pipe in a shop!


• Proc-ing in dungeons has changed for the better! Now, every character after every dungeon encounter has their chance to proc their special abilities. Where previously, a character could only proc his abilities if he was the active player (his name was in the top left). This cuts both ways, however. Poison damage will also have its effect each room. But, so will things like health regeneration. Because of the frequency of this chance to proc: we’ve slightly reduced the likelihood of ability procs in dungeons only. This affects all adventures, not just Hildebrant’s Cellar.


• The Reset Lore button is back by popular demand… after being removed… by popular demand… To be explicitly clear: this is not a respec! Resetting your lore returns the Lore store to its original ‘factory’ state, and clears your banked Lore. You do not get refunded your Lore purchases.

• New adventure: Hildebrant’s Cellar - endless dungeon mode


• New in Hildebrant’s Cellar: encounters from the overworld: Sanctums, Stone Heros, and Dead Adventurers


• New House Rules so players can customize certain game rules (more to come in the future!)


• New water temple dungeon


• New chaos skull enemy


• New acid blob enemies


• New armored ogre enemy


• New hellhound enemy


• New poison barrel, acid bucket, spikes, tentacles, statue and magnet traps added to various dungeons


• New trinket and amulet to protect against acid


• Cornelius encounter made easier


• Added gold drop multiplier to be used with certain game modes


• Dead players can now trade with other players to avoid situations where you might lose access to gold or items

• Included missing player skills from encyclopedia


• Online lobby polish, now shows game rules and more details per game


• Fixed issue where certain helmets didn’t fit Forest Mystic’s head properly


• Fixed bug where Fire Skelly Mage was doing high level burn damage instead of low level burn damage


• Fixed bug where some backpacks would not fall off upon death


• Reduced extra screen shaking upon some character deaths


• Fixed rendering bugs with hexes on min spec


• Fixed occasional game hang on Lich Crypt chest


• Fixed bug with fleeing in online games


• Market list update fix for online games

• Polish Language support


• Haunts lock level when revealed


• All pipe upgrades are done through the market


• Boats are slightly cheaper


• Changes to end game sequence and imagery


• New ghoul animation set


• New detailed character stats page


• Added 14 new items to lore, including new high end custom clothing for only the most discerning of customers


• Added mead helmet for totally non discerning customers


• Added ability to customize armor when creating a character


• New post combat animations to reflect player’s actions


• Texture optimization pass


• Lore unlocks and purchases are stored outside of Steam/GOG. This is good for GOG users who don’t want to use Galaxy


• Re-enabled the Reset Lore Button. Don’t push this button unless you want to lose all your lore. You’ve been warned.

Hello Adventurers,

Today we’re happy to announce the content of our next major update!

"Oh… more teasers?"

No, Joe Player... We ain’t a tease. We got the goods to show!

"Daaaayum"

First, and foremost: the previously mentioned Highly Requested ‘Game Mode’ is…. drumroll please...

Endless Dungeon Mode
That’s right. This new adventure entitled Hildebrant’s Cellar lets you fight down through the depths of your favourite realm agent’s house. See how far you can get until your inevitable demise. Fight a plethora of enemies, avoid traps, mimics, and smash doors. All the things you know and love (or know, anyways… re:mimics) from exploring and conquering dungeons and caves in our other adventures.



"Sweeet"

But that’s not all, Joe Player... You’ll find things down below you thought only existed in the overworld. We’ve added encounters like Sanctums, Dead Adventurers, Stone Heros, and more to the dungeon.

We’ve also got new stuff!

"Stuff?! I LOVE stuff!"

• 4 new traps


• New enemies


• 4 new items


• 9 new character customizations


• 3 new Achievements

• Chaos frequency will increase or decrease the number of rounds between when Chaos is set to increment. Assuming, of course, that the game mode has Chaos in it.


• Life Pool will let you increase, or decrease the starting lives. To be clear: this does not change the amount of lives you’ll find in your adventures. And as always: there is no cap to how many you can gather.


• Economy Inflation Oh, don’t lie: you skipped right to this one, didn’t you!? This will permit you to adjust the percentage increase of inflating items over time. This does not change base prices of items, and does not change starting gold, gold drops, or item drops in any way. It’s only the inflation of the small set of items that naturally inflate in price over time.

Good day, Adventurers!

Very soon… err… well right now, actually: we’ll be starting a new announcement series aimed at keeping the community updated with some roadmap details, and content teasers in general.

"Oh, sounds like a good idea."

We thought so, Joe Player. Now being that we’re a small studio, we won’t be able to provide massive detailed, and itemized lists of tasks, and timelines. Up to this point: we’ve been happy and successful in staying as agile as possible, and adjusting our priorities based on the vibe of the community, and ourselves. With that in mind, we will be sharing our upcoming roadmap details in smaller chunks, more frequently.

We’ll make sure to prefix all these announcements with the word “ROADMAP” so it’s clear to you whether or not it’s patch notes, roadmap, or any other generic announcement.

All that being said, let’s get to the first inaugural ROADMAP post!


House Rules
TIMELINE: imminent
In order to give as many people as possible the most enjoyable experience we can: we’ll be implementing a new feature, House Rules. Similar to playing any traditional tabletop game where players can massage some of the rules and constraints of the game. Namely with ours, (you guessed it) the difficulty. Through your feedback we’ll be adding more customization options to our House Rules over time.


Teaser screenie!



New Highly Requested ‘Game Mode’
TIMELINE: imminent
Yup, a whole new game mode to play. A more contained, and focused mode than full fledged adventure, and something you can sink as much or as little time in to as you wish. Complete with new Lore Store items, special unlocks and new achievements.


New Story Adventure
TIMELINE: Fall (2018)
A whole new adventure! Kinda like the Frost Adventure… except… without the frost. Also complete with new Lore Store items, special unlocks and new achievements.


Those who are about to party wipe: we salute you.

-IronOak Games

Good tidings to you, Slayers of Beastmen.

"They’re an infestation! We’re performing a service..."

Indeed, Joe Player, indeed.

Today we have another update. Focusing on common issues, stability, and gameplay tweaks.

Citizens of Fahrul!

It is an honour to introduce to you our first post-release patch notes!

"Umm.. yay?"

It’s something to be celebrated, Joe Player. As can be expected after launch: we’re mainly focused on bug squashing. As time goes on: we’ll move on to other things, but for now: we want to make sure the game is smooth and playable.


Fixes

• Fixed an issue where people who have already achieved certain achievements pre full release were not getting new unlocks. Your unlocks should now appear when you next start the game.


• Fixed issue where elemental ailment SFX would persist indefinitely


• Fixed issue where slowing an already slowed character would result in them losing their slow status


• Fixed an issue with the enemy/encounter ratio of dungeons


• Hobo invasion! He will now spawn only once, and stop asking you for money...


• Removed the Roc Nest encounter from being incorrectly included too soon (if you see this in your old save games, please avoid it, but it will no longer spawn from now on)


• End Turn Tutorial now properly localized


• Minor Spelling and Grammar fixes


• Equipped shields consistent among characters and crash less with backpack


• Border Edge fixed on Stone Hero Portraits

• Spiders have less/no armor, slightly reduced health, and do slightly less damage


• Ghouls Piercing Attack changed to Regular Attack, reduced evasion, reduced crit chance, lower max damage, slight increase in resistance


• General Reduction in Crit Chances for high crit enemies across the board. Typically now only birds some special enemies have crit chances above 10%


• Leprechaun -5% crit chance (now 10%)


• Pirate -10% crit chance (now 10%)


• Goblin Assassin -15% crit chance (now 10%)


• Death Knight Boss -10% crit chance (now 10%)


• Forest Knoll -10% crit chance (now 10%)


• Crow -5% crit chance (now 10%)


• Bandits -10% crit chance (now 5%)


• Thief -15% evasion


• Swamp Fly -10% evasion


• Snow Goblin Assassin -25% evasion (now 25%)

Yes that’s right, Adventurers: Full Release is here!

"Is it everything we’ve dreamed?!"

We sure hope so, Joe Player. We’re so excited and thankful for our wonderful helpful community throughout Early Access.

We’ve experienced the trials and tribulations of all that Early Access had to offer. From great feedback, amazing stories of victory, to terrible bugs that had to be quashed and everything between.

"It was an adventure all on its own"

It sure was. And we’re happy say that we’re not done yet. Of course, we’re going to be in full on support mode for the next while. But once things level off, we will start scheming internally on the next best way to make you all party wipe.

For now, enjoy our three adventures!
For The King


Dungeon Crawl


Frost Adventure



Again, thank you so much to our Kickstarter Backers, Early Access Community, and to all you newcomers joining the quest. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Sincerely IronOak Games

Greetings Adventurers!

"Full release on Thursday! #hype"

Yes! We're excited as well, Joe Player. Officially, we're all set up for release this
Thursday, April 19th at 8AM Pacific Time

This has been our longest time between patches. Namely so we could really focus on the quality of the final product containing so much new content, and of course a whole new Adventure.

Those loyalists of you who joined Early Access and have been playing will really just treat this update like any other patch. With that in mind: we want to share patch notes with you now as we will not be posting patch notes on Thursday.

"Let's have it then"

Sure thing. I should mention, that since this is one of (if not the) most robust updates ever: I will not be listing out everying in utmost details - just noteworthy items.

Noteable New Features/Changes
New Adventure - Frost Adventure
Yup. That's right. Now included as another adventure to augment the original "For The King" mode, and "Dungeon Crawl" comes the Frost Adventure. Taking place on the sunny beaches of the Rogue Isles, quest to bring the Queen the perfect Mai Tai while you try to find a bathing suit that doesn't make you self-conscious.
