Both the Gladefolk and Withering Dead storylines are now playable from start to end, albeit in a rough first pass. Much of the work has focused on extending Workbench, the visual scripting editor to support the functionality required by campaign.


Heroes receive ability targeting including AOE circles and directional arcs, making it easier to see which monsters will be affected. Lilith the necromancer is now unlockable in the campaign by siding with the Withering Dead. Units can now also move short distances to engage in melee combat, reducing instances of them standing around while a battle rages just a few feet away.


The 'Needs Wall' (especially noticable with basic clothing and mead) has been addressed. Unhappiness is much slower to set in, is capped, and can be offset by doing well in other areas or through the use of rationing. Rationing now has a lagging effect. While the UI looks the same, indicators have been added to the rationing bars to indicate whether happiness is rising or falling. The yellow warnings have also been removed as they were a distraction.


The key binding UI is now implemented under the settings menu, especially useful for players with non-English layout keyboards (e.g. Sweden, France). Controls have changed slightly to be better aligned with RTS conventions. Holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse now pans the camera. Rotation has been remapped entirely off the mouse and onto Q+E or the LeftAlt key.


The tutorial has been completely remade across two entirely new maps (including a short dungeon) to cover many of the new gameplay elements. The narrator voice over has been omitted for the time being as we'll be adding to the tutorial in future patches.


The Editor, and more specifically Workbench (the built-in visual scripting tool), continues to grow in power with new node additions and general improvements. Several new kits have been added and will be used in the next campaign faction storylines. New content assets continue to be added which we'll be using as we continue to expand the campaign.

http://www.gamesfoundry.com/patches/#alpha27

The primary changes are an overhaul of happiness calculations to address the needs wall for clothing and mead, selected units (e.g. heroes) can move small distances to engage in combat instead of standing around, and the Gladefolk and Withering Dead campaigns are now playable - albeit in rough form - from start to end.

Experimental Build:

Fix: Campaign: It’s now possible to correctly betray Willow

• After a few hours play with a busy village, the frame rate may start slowing down. If you experience this, to restore performance save your game, quit, restart and reload your game.
  
  
• Bonefinger does no damage.
  
  
• We’re in the process of implementing spell tomes for Lilith. For now, opening her inventory will show a solid white icon in her hands. Please ignore this.

The first rough pass of both the Gladefolk and Withering Dead campaigns is now available. Emphasis on the word ‘rough’. Bosses, enemy heroes and behemoths are missing their abilities, visual and sound effects. Monsters don’t currently scale their levels so the challenge may not be balanced.

There’s a lot of running back and forth in the campaign at the moment. This is where the world map will come into play in a future patch.

There’s a lot of running back and forth in the campaign at the moment. This is where the world map will come into play in a future patch.

The primary changes are the addition of key mapping under settings and AOE ability targeting (including directional arcs). Players can now set their own hotkeys if they don’t like the defaults. This is also required by international players with non-English keyboards.

Experimental Build:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/224440/discussions/0/541906348034355622/

Settings: Added controls settings UI

Editor: Added wp_animation to the systems kit (aka Work Point Animation)
Workbench: Added OrderInteract node to send character to selected wp_animation
Workbench: VSOrderMove now has an 'aborted' output event as well as a 'reached' output event. The 'reached' event will no longer be triggered when the character does not reach the target
Workbench: Added duration scale field to WorldText node
Fix: Crane was missing from the top of the Stonecutter Lodge
Fix: Kobold hit reaction was incorrectly configured
Fix: Typo 'Pupulation' -> 'Population' in topbar tooltip
Fix: A field wasn’t being serialized
Fix: Quixl's eviscerate being able to target all characters instead of only aggressive enemies
Fix: Changed alignment of portal entry point when entering Mordrich’s Factory via Bonefinger’s Lair so heroes face correct direction
Fix: Dropping Cemetery Kit / Mausoleum 01 into a map and dragging it caused a crash to desktop
Fix: Quest progress is now also hidden using numpad 0
Fix: Swamp ambience zone looks better once more
Change: Willow's thorns now only prevent the target from moving and attacking, but does not play any particular animation on the target
Change: Animation speed buffs now only affect movement animations
Change: Added a message when the UI is hidden with the keypad 0 key

Stair pieces in the Swamp Ruins kit appear to be broken and can’t be right clicked on.

The new animation scripting kit piece and Workbench node is designed to support characters walking to a point and then performing an animation (which can play once, or loop). A list of characters and supported animations will be published at a later date, as it is still subject to considerable change.

The primary change is an overhaul of keymappings and camera control to follow RTS conventions. Holding down the middle mouse button and dragging now pans. This is going to throw active players off in the short term, and will require a period of adjustment.

Please note that save games from earlier versions are not compatible.

A number of loot items have been renamed for consistency. If you have referenced any items in chests/crates/pots etc, these may now show up as missing in the Editor Inspector. It is recommended you check your chests and destructibles.

The crane is missing from the top of the Stonecutter Lodge
Willow sometimes gets stuck in the Goblin Village in the Sandbox (Medium) map - casting heal should release her
Ser Gregory’s Power Slam sometimes is out of range and won’t cause damage. Moving a little closer to targets will prevent this.
Kobolds in the towers of the kobold village (sandbox map) can’t exit
Zombie Harvesters will sometimes glide into combat

The new control system brings us more in-line with RTS convention, but will require a period of adjustment for active players. As combat gets more hectic players will start to see the benefit of having QWERT mapped to hero abilities. Unfortunately we’ve not had time to implement the keyboard remapping UI yet, but you can always edit the keymap.json file to suite your needs.

The new tutorial takes a very different tone to the dryness of the previous incantation. It’s very much tongue in cheek. We’re not recording voice over for it for a while, because the tutorial will be subject to change.

For level designers, there are several key improvements. The addition of the WorldText node allows in-world text to be displayed. Very useful for providing players with hints - check out the new tutorial kobold mines map to see how it’s used, especially on doors. The improved loot item search system now allows deeper access to the 750+ items we have. We’re working on a reference guide to list all available icons, and will release it once Workbench receives the ability to script the creation of magic items.

This is an update to the experimental opt-in build. The primary change is a continuation of the campaign, especially for the Gladefolk.

Please note, save games created with earlier versions are not compatible with this release.

We have re-enabled the unobtrusive Steam DRM to help reduce piracy. This requires that you have Steam running locally on your machine (which can be run in offline mode if you have no internet connection).
