Greetings, Spellweavers,

Version 0.6.34-demo is now live! This update adds more interactive elements to the dungeons with explosive new hazards, optional challenges for extra rewards, and another round of visual and performance enhancements.

• Exploding Barrels:

  • Volatile barrels can now be found throughout the dungeons, opening up new tactical avenues and playstyles! These containers are highly unstable and will detonate when damaged.

  • In the early stages of a run, these barrels offer a powerful advantage. A well-placed shot can clear a room of weaker foes when your spell arsenal is still limited, providing a much-needed burst of resources.

  • Later on, they become strategic tools for advanced play. Lure powerful enemies into a cluster of Thunder Barrels for a stunning chain reaction, use a Wormhole Barrel to reposition a dangerous boss, or shatter Ice Barrels to control the battlefield. Their effects can be combined with your own spells for devastating results.

  • Destroy them from a safe distance to claim the loot inside, but be careful-they are extremely dangerous and can end a promising run if you're not cautious!

• Secret Challenge Rooms:

  • After clearing a room, you may discover a secret entrance to a special challenge room.

  • Test your skills in three different challenges: Gold Rush, Minefield, and Dummy Target Practice!

  • Succeed in these challenges to escape with valuable goodies!

• Improved Sprite Effects:

  • Many sprite effects have been updated for better visual feedback and aesthetics.

• Performance Enhancements:

  • Further optimizations have been implemented to improve overall game performance.

Let me know what you think, and as always, happy Spellweaving

La sortie d'Alquiem approche à grand pas et pour préparer cela je vous propose de faire un résumé de tous les ajouts majeurs dont a bénéficié le jeu depuis plus de 1 an et demi de travail constant. Vos retours ont été très précieux et je remercie personnalement tous les joueurs vétérans du discord, dont l'investissement a été remarquable !

Alquiem était de base un projet simple : un rpg dans lequel on peut accomplir des quêtes passives, récolter des matériaux, choisir une classe avec des arbres de talent, partir au combat pour looter et crafter des équipements afin de concevoir des builds toujours plus puissants.

Une recette simple mais sublimée par mes soins pour approcher ma vision de départ (je suis un peu perfectionniste je l'avoue donc ça aurait pu prendre beaucoup plus de temps). Mais avec l'expérience et une concentration optimale j'ai réussi à produire tout ce que vous voyez sur les images et trailer en moins de 6 mois. 

De nombreux bugs ont été corrigé bien sur, + Quality of Life et Améliorations majeures ont été ajoutés durant les mois qui ont suivi la première parution en alpha du projet. Cela a beaucoup plus aux premiers joueurs (mise à jour 1.2.4)

Une prouesse louable mais il manquait encore quelque chose au jeu pour être addictif sur la durée et convenir aux joueurs les plus déterminés.

📌Après des mois supplémentaires de travail est sortie la Mise à jour 1.3 : qui a introduit le Prestige. Un système de métaprogression entre vos parties décuplant la rejouabilité du titre et offrant un sentiment de progression bien plus ambitieux.

La Nouvelle classe du Croisé a également rejoint l'aventure (une classe représente environ 3 mois de travail à elle seule, de la conception théorique à l'implémentation in game, sons, fx, debug, test, équilibrage et refontes potentielles après la sortie).

Sans parler de la Refonte des métiers avec un système d'énergie bc plus amusant et dynamique ! Avant il fallait attendre qu'une récolte se fasse (quelques secondes) un peu comme dans WoW ou New World mais à la longue ça pouvait être lassant. 

Désormais les récoltes sont instantannées par contre elle coûte de l'énergie. Et pour en obtenir vous devez accomplir des quêtes, certain quêtes spéciales en donne encore plus que la normale ! De nombreux bâtiments (améliorations de métaprogression du système de prestige) synergisent bien sur avec le système, comme la boulangerie qui génère de l'énergie tous les jours.

Et je vous passe les détails supplémentaires mais vraiment cette mise à jour a été un gros morceau.

S'en est suivi des tonnes de correctifs et d'ajout de quality of life divers suite aux retours des joueurs. J'étais très heureux de voir les plus investis concevoir et poster leur propre vidéo youtube de build prouvant que le theorycraft du jeu fonctionnait.

📌 Quelques mois plus tard est sortie la Mise à jour 1.3.2

Elle a introduit en jeu des éléments multijoueurs comme le classement en ligne ou le système de chat en temps réel !

Ainsi que de nombreux correctifs et ajouts mineurs bien entendu. Vous pouvez consulter en détail toutes ces mises à jour sur le serveur discord officiel

https://discord.gg/cfUQHqPXv7

📌 Jusqu'à la Mise à jour 1.3.3 et 1.3.5 qui ont ajouté et amélioré un nouveau système endgame pour dépasser les limites de ses  équipements : le Perfectionnage.

Ainsi que pleins d'autres améliorations visuelles, rajouts de tutoriels pour toujours plus approcher le jeu de sa version release.

Et nous y somme aujourd'hui les amis ! Admirez le trailer réalisé pour l'occasion :

Voilà j'espère ce résumé vous a plu et je vous donne rendez-vous très bientôt sur discord et youtube pour l'annonce de la date de sortie officielle 🧡

We want to thank everyone who has enjoyed Arrow Survival: 15 Seconds, a game designed for fans of the arcade genre. We’ve received a lot of feedback and have read all the reviews so far, in addition to identifying some bugs. With that in mind, we’re excited to share the first update for the game.

• Fixed an issue where the music and sound effects volume settings were displayed in English, even when another language was selected.

• Fixed a bug that caused arrows to pass through the ground.

• Optimized the game’s code, resulting in overall performance improvements.

We received numerous comments about the difficulty of level 18, which, in some cases, hindered player progression. However, while some players pointed out the high difficulty, others enjoyed the challenge and managed to complete it in just a few attempts or within a few minutes.

To strike a balance that maintains the challenge without making it overly difficult, we decided to remove one of the two bees present in level 18. Now, the level will feature only one bee. In testing, we found that having two bees could trap players in a way that felt disproportionate. This change creates a more balanced experience.

This is a small update, and we’re committed to continuing to refine the game to ensure fun and balanced gameplay for everyone!

This update brings good news!! First good news!! With patch 1.5.7, we've now officially translated the Japanese language!! (*Yay!!)

Thank you for your support over the past 2 years and good news number 3, GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe DEMO will be available for free!! Of course, we announced on 26/02/2025 about a new game in development but it's been quiet for 8 months now. Let's find out why it's still delayed and it will be interesting to know more.

Q1: Why did it take 8 months for the GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe DEMO to be confirmed as an imminent release?

A1: On 28/02/2025, we launched a Live Steam on Mainsolar on YouTube (it was a Thai gameplay showcase). In that Live Stream, there was a demo game GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe. The gameplay is ready, but there is one thing that needs to be answered. The reason why this game was delayed for 8 months. The answer is "How many languages ​​do we need to translate in the demo GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe?"

LIVE : เปิดตัว DEMO | GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe 28-2-68 | MAIN SOLAR - YouTube

The next question is, "If the demo is available in a language, most fans will understand and expect the full game to also have the same language." And "Are we ready to translate for other languages?" We care and take this very seriously. The answer to these three questions is starting patch 1.5.0 of Geminiflame Alpha Dragon. it prove that we can Japanese localization until it complete, and we've proven ourselves today. These small steps will lead to the further development of GeminiFlame Hydron's Recipe in the full game and beyond. If we need to change anything, we will announce it soon.

Q2:When will the free demo of GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe be available?

A2:We expect to launch around Q1 2026. If there are any delays, we will announce them soon.

Q3:How many languages ​​are in the GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe DEMO?

A3: We have in mind that there should be Thai, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, German, and Russian. There are 6 languages ​​for the challenge, so if we need to choose one of the 6 languages ​​or change anything, we will announce it soon.

In summary, "GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe DEMO plans to include languages ​​that will influence the development process for both the DEMO and the full game, and we plan to launch the DEMO around Q1 2026."

That's all for now, we're into year 3 of GeminiFlame Alpha Dragon and we'll see what the GeminiFlame Hydron's recipe looks like in the near future :)

Greetings Explorers!

The haunted season has arrived in Dungeons of Eternity!

We continue the yearly tradition of releasing a spooky update for Halloween with the "Stormgrave" update! Explore storm-soaked dungeons, wield the new Sickle weapon, and unlock a variety of Halloween-themed cosmetics, new victory dances, and more.

Stormgrave Realm

For this update, all of the "outdoor" dungeon chambers in the Underworld Realm feature rain, lightning, and a new color tint to the environment. This is a temporary change for this update, but will eventually become a full realm in a future update!

Sickles and Pumpkins

There are some new Halloween-themed weapons as well, including a Sickle and Pumpkin Cluster Bomb! You can purchase these from the Vendors (check back often, they aren't always available!)

Free Masks and Cosmetics

The Merchant also sells new Masks for your avatar. These are purchased with in-game gold - no new DLC this update. We have also brought back last year's themed cosmetics in case you missed them or are new to the game.

And More

A spooky themed Outpost, additional Victory Poses, and scaling Hazard XP awards have also been added, along with other improvements and bug fixes. See the full list below.

We still owe the community the big release notes leading up to the last update, and plan to publish these next week.

We hope you enjoy this update with your fellow ghoulish Explorers!

• Special themed cosmetics for Halloween (including the content from last year) are available again in this update.

Small update with some important fixes and additions, thanks as always for playing Solitairica!

New
- Gamma option added to settings
- Language can be selected in settings
- Initial language chosen on first install is now based on steam and not the OS

Bug Fixes
- Reset progress no longer hangs the UI
- Fixed some spots where gamepad didn't work (difficulty choose, emperor defeat flow, one spot in tutorial)
- Fixed gamepad player turn issue where multiple arrows would show up
- Swift strike now repeatedly strikes the column as states, rather than each card once

Tuning
- X-Ray glasses item now shares cost and tier range as spectacles
- Note: The skull item behavior where it only rewards energy on damage and not armor block is intentional, but was missed in the original patch/tuning notes.

Ongoing work
Native touch events are now supported for game objects (cards, deck, spell) but unfortunately steam deck is still breaking when switching inputs. If you stick to gamepad or mouse only it works great, but I am bummed because I really wanted seamless mixed input this patch. Something isn't playing nice between my engine (which runs on unreal 5.5 currently) and steam deck, because in every other test scenario it works well.

If anyone tinkers with their steam deck and learns anything, or comes up with a custom input template that helps, please let me know! And of course, upload it to community templates. :D

Hello everyone,

We would like to share an important update regarding Beach Outlet Simulator. Unfortunately, due to financial limitations and some design challenges we faced during development, we are no longer able to continue the project as planned.

This was not an easy decision for us. We sincerely thank everyone who added the game to their wishlist and supported us along the way. Your interest and encouragement meant a lot to our team.

For now, development on Beach Outlet Simulator is coming to an end.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

— The Beach Outlet Simulator Team

• Game is now DPI aware so if you experienced problems with the game resolution when your display scale was not set to 100%, this issue has now been resolved.

• The screen flashing and glitching experienced by some laptop users has been fixed.
