Redaxium 2 Released into Early Access. It's basically a superior Redaxium 1.

There is no save compatibility between the two games.

Redaxium 2 is the official successor to Redaxium 1.
You should atleast appreciate the new visuals.

It uses a more modern Unity3D version and with that came a performance boost!

Thankyou for everyone's support and interest in Redaxium!

Btw for those who don't know i'm already looking into Redaxium 2.

I'm going through many hypothetical rough drafts for it.

IF you have feedback on Redaxium 1 that you think should apply to a sequel, let
me know on the game's steam forums.

Cultists Rituals!
There are 4 cultists ritual sites.
Destroy ALL the pillars before 13 days are up or you suffer a permanent curse for each.
A completed pillar ritual takes away 2 GP every 50% chance daily permanent basis!
It also removes your ability to travel to that location by map. You'll need other methods.
Cultist Curse has 50% chance to adds 1 additional fatigue or incase of full fatigue: -4% health.
You daily 50% chance lose 100 achievement points per completed pillar too!
Yes these effects are stacking!
As a reward stopping a cultist site you gain 8 GP and 2 PP.

I've bumped the build version to 1.03.

The game is now in permanent maintenance mode.

Redaxium has been a fully released game since December 27th 2021.

New content too often breaks something especially saved games.
1.02 did this multiple times and i'm completely out of patience now.

The only cure is to stop adding new content. Thus maintenance mode.

I'll fix bugs once in a LONG WHILE, but i'm looking forward to Redaxium 2.
You should as well.

The silver lining is there's two bosses now, and an official end game!
I even tweaked the UI this past week. Although i'm sure it still has issues.

Take care.

As many of you probably know now Redaxium has left Early Access.
It did so on December 27th 2021.

Redaxium is also currently on the eve of version 1.0!

Also Tomorrow is January 1st 2022!

For the TL;DR skip to the bottom where it says "[Schedule]".

Unless more bugs show up, i'm planning a big content addition to celebrate the new year.

However i'm not going to rush. So if it takes a few more days i'm going to make sure I do things right.

I've definitely learnt a lot during Early Access. Frustratingly much.
The kind of lessons that make you have to laugh all the time just to cope.

I'm absolutely still going to maintain Redaxium until I feel it reaches my true vision.

One of the reasons the game is as large as it is so I can freely add to it without weighing other things down.
I suppose it's a too big to fail type of plan in that regard.

In any case i'll probably continue work and support Redaxium all the way to the month of May.

If you feel the game is short on content or lacks depth, don't get depressed.
I may be 1 person but I move faster than a team, I have no red tape to cut through.
..Even if that has lead to some decisions that don't make sense like leaving Early Access kind of early.

That said i'll layout some kind of schedule so you all understand what's coming.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Schedule]:
-January 1st: the new year. yippee!
-Week 1 to Week 2 of January: Expect new content.
Focus will be on quests and world building.
Specifically finishing the factions and getting the prewritten story into the game is very important to me.
-Mid January to End of March: I've done polls and have a general idea of what people want.
I also have a few large todo lists related to random things.
-Start of May: it is expected end of new content.

Depending on sales I will begin work on a sequel or a whole new game.

Last but not least I want to share with you a thought:

At some point every developer has to choose between: comfort and composure, or chaos and high chance of utter defeat.
If your pride or philosophy doesn't allow the latter pair, you've wasted your own time.

I'm looking at Halloween to be a pretty big milestone of Early Access.

Change of Plan.

First, I will be refactoring and cleaning up the code for each part of the game.
Almost every part has gotten crufty.

Second, I will still be announcing almost daily any bugfixes or changes to the game thanks to the
re-write.

Third, I will however not be uploading or pushing out any patches EXCEPT at the end of a week.
I'm dangerously close to reaching the 1.0 version because of frequent patching.
It would be a shame if I got there too early because I simply patch too often.

Fourth, A slowdown in updates is overdue. Fact is: I cannot transition into
making important content if my pace is to release daily. So it must change.

There are now skyboxes for multiple times of day not just day/night.
Regardless all skyboxes have had their texture tweaked.
-Added another Renewer between the People's Nexus and Lagorigana Cacophony.
(Nearish to Friendzone Park.)
-Since Melee skills are pretty weak, i've decided their proficiency shall increase from combat use as well.

attack a nearby target.
-New: Doctor's Field Pak. Purchaseable from doctors for 1000 jipjips.

Change:
Defense proficiency effects (affects effectiveness of your defense skills):
Boosts defense skill's duration by 10% of your proficiency.
Boosts defense skill's additional defense by 10% of your proficiency.

This is only factored during battle.

Change:
Attack proficiency effects (affects effectiveness of your attack skills):
Boost attack skill's damage by 1/2 of your proficiency.

This is only factored during battle.

Change:
Proficiency gain rate is now 50% chance to increase by 1 for every hit.

note: your Hit chance is affected by proficiency.

note: For attacks, proficiency increase is also faster if your affinity matches the skill choice.
Also more so if you're level was lower than that of your target.


In summary:
Melee, Weapon, Defense skills are only increased from skill books.
Attack skills increases from use of the attack or skill books.
Roleplaying skills like Analyze/Steal, are WIP when it comes to increasing proficiency.

NPCs can level up from winning battles and increase their proficiency too from attacking.
Don't be too careless, especially if you have respawning enabled for your player.

Broke saves again when improving support for Melee/Weapon skill boosting.
(I guess it should be my next priority to add better support for save upgrades.)

--also 2 new tracks. one for morning (5 to 6am), and one for night.

Fixed: Character Sheet during character creation had buttons accidentally pushed downward from the text.

The Linux build spontaneously broke. Unity's fault this time i think. Sorry to Linux users!
