The final touches are being placed on Knights of Tartarus before release next week. Many have asked me if I will keep making updates for the game after release day. The answer is yes, the game will receive updates every now and then. Currently, I'm trying to get the game localized in a couple of languages and I need all the help I could get. Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you who have played, followed, reviewed and or take the time to report a bug. All your input has helped a bunch, I seriously couldn't have done it without you all. Thank you for playing!

Happy holidays knights! I wanted to give you guys a special update for this holiday season New maps:

Crypt-

The crypt is a very dark place located north of the forest and it contains much good loot. Even though the monsters are at a high level you can access the crypt for a chance to get good items and equipment at early points of the game. This area has 3 new monsters and a key item which you will need to proceed to further.

Ice Lair, Tartarus

The fourth big dungeon (and Boss). New puzzles and mechanics, and 4 new monsters in this region. After this update, I will start polishing the game a bit and fixing minor issues I have pending before adding the finale. Like always if you have any issues feel free to contact me, Ill respond as quickly as possible.

[ 2018-12-20 01:57:12 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hotfixes:

-Transform + Frenzy bug: As a mage, if you had the transform skill (a skill that turns enemies into a slime monster if hit by a spell) and also The frenzy spell (a move that hits multiple times), It could activate transform on each hit causing many bugs. Combo spells now only activate the transform skill on the last hit. -Fireball collision + monster appearances bug: If you got hit by a fireball at the same time that you had a monster encounter, the game would soft lock. -Item usage bugs: BRN HEAL couldn't be used outside of battle. MED POTION had no effect in battle.

Changes:

-Tartarus Shop A new shop has opened in Tartarus. -Options menu added to pause menu You don't have to quit to the title screen to change volume, resolution, etc. -Level up STATS display: When you level up you can see your stat growth. -Victory music: A nice song plays when you win a battle. -Fireball collision: The last patch made it so if you're using the hook you would not get damaged by the fireballs. Now you are invulnerable if you're reeling in. In any other condition, you will get hurt. -Goblin Tower barrels: The barrels now fall from above instead of magically appearing in front of you. -Switches and Chests Chests and switches have sound effects. A nice jingle plays when you find some loot.

[ 2018-11-29 23:32:30 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hotfixes:

• The first puzzle in the fire lair was disappearing boulders if certain conditions were met. This made it so you had to leave the dungeon in order to continue.
• Rhadamanthis didn't want to say goodbye: A bug causing our friend to stay in the lair even after defeat. This also caused an error with achievement activation.
• Mud throw spell description and move range are now fixed.

Changes:

• First portal removed from Fire Lair.
• Fire Boulder damage nerf 10% of max health > 8% of max health.
• Grappling into a block gives you invincibility to fire boulders that you bumped into during the hook.
• Forest NPCs now react to your goblin form.
• Rival split scene remade (has an animation and sound effect).

[ 2018-11-23 13:30:37 CET ] [ Original post ]

Bug fixes and changes:

-Meteorites get placed in crafting bag instead of item bag. -The shop now displays a menu scroll indicator. -You can buy BRN HEAL. -Weapon stats text adjusted to be consistent on all menus. -Quit menu selection bug and text bug was removed. -Leaf effect in Sage Town school was removed. -There were two contradicting skills: 1. Fighter skill that raises ATT if critted 2. Sentry skill that makes it so you're never critted. The sentry skill was changed to nullify the crit damage. So essentially you get critted but you take normal damage (which was the intention in the first place), instead of blocking the chance of a critical hit move before it happens. -Several text errors in the skill menu description. -Confusion status was not working at all. When confused you chance a chance to hurt yourself (33%) and damage is 20% of your max health. -Confusion cures itself after a battle or after a few turns. -Battle ending transition to player view was reduced.

[ 2018-11-21 00:18:22 CET ] [ Original post ]

[ 2018-11-07 19:26:40 CET ] [ Original post ]

It was displaying every turn.

[ 2018-11-02 02:08:36 CET ] [ Original post ]

Features: -Mac and Linux Build. -Crafting Gameplay changes: -You gain normal amounts of exp even if you are 7 levels above the foe's level (it was 5 before). -Items were reworked and you can craft 95% pct of all items using crafting materials that are dropped by monsters.

[ 2018-10-05 23:53:41 CET ] [ Original post ]

Some major bugs were fixed:

• Bug that was causing file to get deleted due to carrying many items.
• Bug that occurred when a monster encounter happened while triggering the rival event at the start of the game.
• Bug that occurred while stepping on a portal and a monster appeared.

Nerfs:

Aeacus' attack rating caused the last buff to it's spell to be too much. BASE ATT 230 > 210

Gameplay Changes

You can't open chests if your item bag is full. Also the town and your item menu has some slight changes due to the crafting patch that is due.

[ 2018-09-29 06:09:56 CET ] [ Original post ]

Achievements:

The game now has achievements. The icons are placeholders and more will be added as development continues.

Buffs:

Hero level up now restores 25% of maximum MP. Knight Aeacus Buffing Aeacus a bit since everyone says it's too easy. BASE HP 180 >190 Silver Arrow power 30 > 45

Nerfs:

Hero skill upgrade changes: You get too strong after you put in a few points into the skill tree. So after reaching lv 30 you, the hero basically wipe the floor with everything. A nerf is due. Fighters BASE ATT at Level.0: 0 > 5 BASE ATT 20 per point > 20/40/55/70/80 Mages BASE S.ATT 20 per point > 20/40/55/70/80 Transform changes: Transformed monsters now keep their spells. Sentry and Saint BASE Defenses at Level.0: 0 > 5 BASE HP 10 per point > 15/25/30/35/40 BASE Defenses 20 per point > 20/40/55/70/80 Goblin Warrior I think we can agree that this brave warrior was a bit too much. Even though it can be fun to watch it destroy you with one frenzy at early levels it gets annoying after the 3rd time. BASE ATT 95 > 80 Green Slime This nerf is to make up for the transform changes and it will also make it easier for new players to get through the forest. BASE HP 45 > 30 BASE ATT 50 > 40 BASE DEF 70> 65 BASE S.ATT 70 > 65 BASE S.DEF 110 > 80 Gryphon The gryphon should be a really strong monster but it's too strong for the early game. I want the player to be able to visit Sky Tartarus if they wish to get the cyclone ring early so this nerf will help a bit. Level 27 > 25 BASE ATT 155 > 145

Bug Fixes:

Mana stats not updating after level up is fixed. Golem Transform bug fixed.

NPC changes:

Paollo has left to sell his art somewhere else. (Probably will be gone forever)

[ 2018-09-27 15:04:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

New Maps: You can now enter the Gloomy Swamps, a placed filled with hags and magical bullfrogs. This area also connects to Sky Tartarus where a Knight of Tartarus resides.

The ones that don't will drop crafting items in a future patch. New Key Item: You can find the Cyclone Ring in Sky Tartarus. A magical ring that gives the wearer the ability to throw cyclones. Key Item Swapping: You can swap between Key Items by pressing Shift on the keyboard or Select if you use a gamepad. Town Shop Items: PRZ Heal can now be bought in town shop. Bugs: The -12 billion transform bug. This was a bug that occured when a mage transformed an enemy into a slime monster. The next spell would do -12 billion damage.

[ 2018-09-20 17:00:47 CET ] [ Original post ]

Bug fix:

• Mino no longer disappears after fighting it. If you saved the game after this bug, it will be defeated in your save file. For this, I have added a way to reset Mino temporarily. To do this just enter the Tartarus dungeon press f4 and exit the dungeon. When you re-enter the dungeon Mino will be there.
