What's next?
We're almost done with the 1.0 content, and we can't wait to finally bring it to you all! We'll be posting the release date here soon, so keep an eye out.

Hello everyone!
We are thrilled to announce that controller support is now available for all Hadean Tactics players! This has been a very big task that required a deep dive into the game's infrastructure. After a lot of refinements, we're finally ready to roll it out for everyone. This update also brings the Compendium rework - every unit in Hadean Tactics now has its very own file in the Ethernal Records. Unlock the entries as you play and uncover more about the units that shape your journey.
What's next?
We've also been working on the final 1.0 update behind the scenes - this upcoming release will feature the final boss battle, and the ending of the game. In the meantime, over the next few weeks, we'll post a few more updates as we continue to enhance the Hadean Tactics experience. We're bringing official localization to Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese (more languages to come in the future), and working towards Steam Deck verification, among other improvements.
Timeline
We are aiming to release the 1.0 update by the end of this month, if not next month. We'll keep you posted on our progress, so stay tuned!

Hello everyone!
Happy Summer! We've just put version 0.6 up on the beta branch! The most significant feature of this update is the controller support. Implementing this has been a big challenge, but we're thrilled to say that it's finally ready for testing! Right now this update is very fresh so you may encounter some roughness and bugs, but we'll work on it together over the next few weeks to polish and fine-tune it. This is part of our bigger 1.0 update, which beyond having a lot of polish, QOL, and balancing, will also feature the true final battle and ending of the game. We'll be adding these to the beta over the next couple of months.
How to access the beta
Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.
The game should update automatically to the beta branch.

Hello everyone!
We hope you've been enjoying your time with Hadean Tactics! Just wanted to say hi and provide an update on what's been keeping us busy lately.
Firstly, we have been working on the controller support and console port. It's been a challenging process and has required a great deal of our time and attention. Good news is we're approaching the final stages for the controller support and soon it will be available on the beta branch. We will share another announcement here as soon as it's up.
We've also been preparing the game's texts for translation. As said before, we will initially be localizing to Simplified Chinese, German, and Brazilian Portuguese, and we plan to gradually add more languages as time goes on.
We also want to give you a heads up that the price of Hadean Tactics will be increasing soon, before the 1.0 release. We've added a ton of content and value since the beginning of Early Access, so we believe the new price will reflect that.
Last but not least - from May 14th until May 21st, you can grab Hadean Tactics at a 25% discount. This is a great opportunity to dive into the game if you haven't already.
As a reminder, if you want to get the most immediate news and updates from us, you can join our Discord. We have an amazing group of players there who share strategies, discuss updates, and help the game grow.
Thank you all for your continued support and patience. We're very excited to show you what's coming with the 1.0!

Hello everyone!
Today's the day! We've just put the Warlock update up on the beta branch!
This initial beta release includes the Warlock Hero with around 70 new cards, the Events revamp with 40+ new events, two different Random modes for runs, etc.
We've changed a few things that we believe will make it better to handle balancing in the future. The most impactful were Boss relics and non-Hero units' upgrades. Those things were tweaked to prevent the player's power spike after the first Circle that was causing a lot of trouble. Keep in mind that these are not set in stone, so if you have any feedback about them please feel free to share.
Right now everything is very fresh so it may feel a bit rough with loads of bugs, but we will work on it together to finetune it. We also will be adding the remaining content gradually in the next couple of weeks to the beta branch that includes Alatar's variants (the Spellslinger and the Necromancer), more cards, new units to recruit, even more events, and such.
How to access: Switch to the beta branch on the game's properties on Steam.
The game should update automatically to the beta branch.
You can report bugs and give us suggestions on our Discord.
Have fun!
Thank you all for the patience and believing in us, it means a lot.
You guys are the best!
Cheers!

Hello everyone! Today we've got a couple of news for you. First, Hadean Tactics is participating in Tacticon! Tacticon is an online event featured right here on Steam, all about tactical and strategy games, and we are very happy to be a part of it! To celebrate, we will be running a 25% discount for the duration of Tacticon, from September 22nd to September 26th. Now's your chance to grab the game before the 1.0 release! Next, after the long wait, we want you all to know that, tomorrow, we are dropping the beta version for the Warlock update, version 0.5! We apologize for the delay - we ran into some office space issues that slowed us down considerably. Now that we are almost all set up, the final stretch of development to launch should run smoothly. After this update, the plan is to focus on polishing, balancing, QoL, official localization, the true final boss, and the ending of the game. The game will achieve it's final form around February 2023. We will be posting another announcement here on Steam as soon as the beta is up, and will also be pinging all Beta players on our Discord, if you want to be notified directly. Thank you all for the patience and see you tomorrow! Cheers! Doug and Lili @ Emberfish Games

No more waiting for a major update before getting your bugs fixed! This will greatly benefit the game in the long run. With the new change in workflow, we've just pushed a build with a few fixes for you!
Major Update
Warlock's Update, although taking a bit more time than we anticipated, is coming along nicely. I know you guys are excited to get your hands on the new Hero so, to go along with the sneak peeks from part 1, here are some more previews of it!
Warlock's Gameplay
Defeat your enemies using combinations of Fire, Ice, and Lightning spells, summon elemental Spirits from the underworld, or raise the dead to fight for your side!
More events!
In addition to regular text events, we've added a number of in-battle events as well. Throughout your adventure, you may find creatures in need of assistance, or maybe some rare enemies...
Moving your units
To give you even more options to control the flow of the combat, you can now move your units during battle!
All these and much more will be coming soon to the beta branch, so if you want to be notified as soon as it drops, make sure to join our Discord! Thank y'all for the support! - Doug & Lili @ Emberfish Games

Hello everyone! We have started the process of localization, which was a major goal for us. So far, we have Brazilian Portuguese, German, Simplified Chinese, Russian, and French. This translation is not yet complete - it's starting out with a machine translation, so a lot of things are wonky right now. Our community is working with us to iron out the kinks. If you want to contribute, please consider joining our Discord! Your feedback is super important to us, so, based on that, we're working hard to improve the look of the game. So, the Circles have gotten a visual revamp! Most of the previous assets have been replaced, and we'd love to know what you think. As for gameplay and quality of life, we've also added a damage preview for the Slides and other damage cards, and you can now hold Shift+Z to select a target for all of your units; there are also many other fixes, gameplay changes, and balancing. And aside from all that, we're also working on our next major content update - there is a lot of new and cool stuff on the horizon that we're excited to bring to you all. If you have any feedback on the game, feel free to reach out to us on our Discord server or here on the Steam community. We've also recently hit 200 Steam reviews and 700 Discord members!!! Thank you all so, so, SO much for all of the support you've been giving our little game, it means the world to us and we hope to continue bringing you more fun content in the future. To celebrate these two milestones, we'll be hosting a giveaway on our Discord server! The winners can choose between a copy of Hadean Tactics or any game up to the same price (we love to support other devs)! Go to the #giveaways channel and react to the most recent message by the Giveaway bot. Good luck, and again thank you all so much for supporting us! -Doug and Lili
