The closed beta for One Step From Eden has been out. Follow the twitter @OneStepFromEden for chances to get in!

I've been away at Tokyo Game Show 2019! Where we were selected for the SOWN awards and won Best Game Design!

But I'm finally back now and will be actively working on the game and updating the beta.




Wasn't sure the best way to get patch notes outside of discord. Hopefully this helps!

Patch Notes #1
1. Restructured battle end logic, no more soft locks on normal battles!
2. Fixed boss executions being interrupted and softlocking. Boss executions should now always kill you, if not #3.
3. After 10 seconds of being "downed" at 1 hp, you will regain control of your character, to prevent any softlocking
4. Addded final checks to ensure tiles exist before attempting to move there and soft locking
5. Structures and enemies will no longer explode when being cleared from the field
6. Added enhancements (below)
7. Limited some enhancements to encourage diversity
8. Fixed some incorrect descriptions and added stuff like damage of blade throws
9. Sparing bosses counts as a battle for pacts
10. Fixed black screen when loading a game
11. Added some tutorial tips
12. Shiso now starts with align instead of pull

Thank you for bearing with me on the bugs, it should get better and better as we keep going! :)
