The game is now named "The Last Dogma - Wilder Wein Edition" to reflect many significant updates it got since release.
I didn't post any updates in the last months due to lack of feedback, but now it seems there are problems with Chapter Select menu and some new in-game texts, which will be fixed in the next patch.
If you found some bug or a typo, please let me know.

I'm back working on the game, despite not having any motivation to do so (Valve, US laws and banks take more than 50% of all money I earn on Steam, which is very devastating).
There are just some crucial things need to be done to make the game better which I want to do for the game's sake and for people who still didn't play it.
Textures, for example. I'm currently changing all in-game textures, especially the ones which were very low-res (like 512x512).

This how terrain on the first level looks now:
http://imgur.com/a/JbJpD

And this is how it looked before:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=634962390

Most importantly, these new textures still create the same atmosphere of desolation which I wanted, despite being more "bright".

The character movement was changed significantly and the new movement system feels somewhat similar to The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Speaking of which, the game as whole moves to the side of being "walking simulator", just the very first level is no longer has any enemies and weapons.

I'll change the title of the game to "The Last Dogma - Late Access" until I finish working on all these new updates. It's not "October Edition" anymore, obviously.

I'm working on the final big update for the Unity4-based version of the game (which will be labeled "Director's Cut"). After that I'll be working on a Unity5-based remake and looking for a US publisher to release it (I'm done with marketing and I don't want to deal with atrocious Steam payment system anymore).
Transiting from Unity 4 to Unity 5 can just kill the game (messing up every single object and make all scripts obsolete), so Unity5 remake might be in development for months or won't be released at all (if I won't find the publisher).
Fun fact: transiting from just Unity 4.2 to 4.3 back in a day destroyed the project completely (at least I had a backup).

So...

Planned features / goals for Director's Cut:
- Alternate version of the main campaign without any shooting (with an alternate story) + some other plot changes
- More polish (including fancy animated interludes), more consistent style
- Bigger levels
- Need to make sure there aren't any spelling errors / typos left, for that I'm looking for a third proofreader
- Updated sounds / graphics / GUI / controls
- New videos / updated old ones
- System which will inform you how many secrets you found on the level (at least there would be a pop-up saying what secret you found when you find it)

What most definitely will be in Unity 5 remake:
- Better graphics with physics-based shaders (because we are all know that 99% of people play 3D first person games for cutting edge graphics)
- Controller support
- Mouse invert
- New characters / secrets
- More animations / effects / scripts
- Fuck if I know, time will tell

Bonus (Update 1.5.7 patch notes)

Update 1.5.7 (November 21)
- New main menu background
- Spelling fixes (textures)
- Font fixes
- Credits GUI fix
- Other fixes

New 32 mb is now available. It's practically a big fix for the first level, which changes its color palette, image effects, player movement and also includes some other minor things. I wasn't satisfied with colors there and Glow effect was too heavy. I'm not a fan of Glow Effect in games, but it's an essential component for the first level to create an atmosphere I wanted. I hope I managed to reach a compromise with Glow settings in the new update.

- Color correction on the first level (now everything looks different and has much more bright colors, more pleasing to the eyes)
- Dialogue with laughing cultist is now different and fits new writing direction
- Gun animation parameters have been changed (first level)
- Bloom has been disabled (first level)
- Gloom has been heavily reduced and now has different color settings (first level)
- Fall damaged has been removed (first level)
- First level object fixes (size, shininess, etc.)
- Shader fixes (first level)
- Small main menu fix ("cartridge" replaced with "developer commentary")

Update 1.5 is now available for both PC and Linux. Subtitles were added to both Main and Secret campaigns. The update also includes numerous fixes and small overhauls.

Free DLC game "Sacred Line" is now also available for download, PC only. Since The Last Dogma is based on both Sacred Line and Sacred Line Genesis games, it made perfect sense to make it available as a bonus DLC.

Update 1.5 Part I is now available for PC and Linux.
Part II will add subtitles for Secret World campaign, it should be ready in a week.

- The game now has subtitles
- Physics fixes
- Texture fixes
- The camera now slightly moves during the intro and ending scenes
- Minor spelling fixes
- Faily News updated: new details and minor fixes
- Story Note overhaul
- Poem 2 was removed
- Running squirrel was removed

Subtitles
Next big update will finally bring subtitles to the game, which will help a lot to non-Native English speakers and people who don't speak English at all (I'm not a Native speaker myself).
I realized that it was a mistake for me not focusing on players from North Europe and Southern Europe. For all these years of development I've seen only one American who would not hate the game, but I've also seen a lot of positive responses/reviews/curiosity from European underground and major press. One fan from Italy even became a very active tester and helped me a lot with the game development, not even knowing English and communicating with the help of Google Translate.

If you want to help to translate the game to your language, please write me to sashadarko(a)gmail(dot)com

New content
Some sounds will be replaced and some models will get new textures.

FPS System
Another important thing I'll think about is action system and enemies. They either will be entirely cut or overhauled.

Achievements - Cancelled
I was also working on Steam achievements to motivate players to look for secrets, but I have zero motivation to do anything extra for Steam (for the obvious reasons) and working on such useless thing is just a waste of time anyway also because there are lots of Steam users who use Steam Achievement Manager.

Major 80+ mb update 1.4 is available now for both PC and Linux.

You can now make money out of this game or pay for a virtual image file to be featured on your profile, getting some virtual XP numbers.
But I urge you to be just a little bit old school and actually trade your other cards instead of dealing with money.

Badge levels are following: "Disbeliever", "Atheist", "Heretic", "Blasphemer" and finally "Satanist".

Free "Sacred Line" DLC is ready for release and features 1.3 build of the game (which is available only at Computer Bild website at the moment), but hasn't been reviewed by Valve employees (it's been a week now).

This new trailer was supposed to be available right before launch, but the project file got corrupted so it forced me to re-create the whole trailer project from the scratch, also changing things I wanted to change in the process. It took some days, but here it is now.

The game is now available for PC and Linux.

To celebrate, the very original prototype of the game which started it all (Sacred Line), will be available for free as a DLC (1.3b build) in a few days.

Major 83 mb update is now available.
A small hotfix for it will be uploaded later.
