Hi everyone! Our next big story update is finally here! Starting from today, you’ll be able to play chapters 2 and 3 of Long Gone Days.

In this chapter we’ll be able to explore a whole new city, and two new dungeons. You’ll also get to know better your party members, and meet some new ones too.

This new story update will add 4 more hours of gameplay, with more people’s lives to change through sidequests, and more intriguing enemies to meet.

This update will also feature a few changes to Chapter 1: Ivan will now help you in battle with a unique ability called Boost.

Boost has a chance to buff one of his allies stats (attack, defense or agility), and it also has a chance to heal them. Its effect will be determined by Ivan’s equipment, so be on the lookout for new items while exploring the world.

We also rebalanced all the battles and items you can find, to achieve a more consistent experience.

It is also important to note that old savefiles will no longer work. We have added a button on the title screen so you can continue playing from the ending of Chapter 1.

Here’s a change log for all the details:
1. Chapter 2 & 3 added
2. Added PS4 & Xbox controller support
3. Re-mapped keyboard keys. New controls are: X to accept, C to cancel/open menu, V to fast forward dialogues, and arrow keys to move.
4. Added “Chapter 2” button to title screen to start playing from there
5. Changed title screen
6. Changed game over screen
7. Changed Lynn and Ivan’s portraits
8. Increased Rourke’s base speed (walking and running)
9. Made Ivan usable during battles (starting from chapter 1)
10. Rebalanced items quantity
11. Rebalanced equipment stats
12. Rebalanced enemies
13. Fixed lots of small, medium, and large bugs reported by the community
14. Fixed minor English/Russian grammar mistakes/typos reported by the community

We are happy to announce that our next big story update is coming out next month!



On July 25th, the game will be automatically updated on Steam. Several changes and improvements were made to the first chapter, so we recommend playing it from the beginning, but otherwise, we'll add an option to start directly from Chapter 2.

We’ll write a more detailed log on July 25, but here are some of the things included in this update:

• PS4 and Xbox controllers are now supported
  
• Rourke’s walking speed has been raised
  
• Battles, equipment, items and rewards have been rebalanced
  
• Ivan can now be used in battle
  
• Lynn and Ivan’s portraits have been revamped (See here and here)
  
• About 3~4 hours of new content (which means the game is now about 8 hours long)
  
• More instances to get to know your party members
  
• More narrative-focused sidequests
  
• Lots of bug fixes that have been reported by our players

We also want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us with feedback using the Steam community forums and our Discord server, none of this would have been possible without you!

See you all next month!

Last year we announced Long Gone Days would be released this coming April, but even though we have been working hard all this time to achieve that, we feel that more time is needed to reach our desired level of polish.

When we started working on Chapter 2, we thought it would be ready in just a couple of months. Because the script wasn’t nearly as long as our first chapter, we decided to work on it together with Chapter 3 (there are 4 chapters in total), so we could release both at the same time. On top of that, there were still fixes to be made to Chapter 1, and down the road, we realized that the amount of work required for this update would be even larger than we expected. Still, we made the mistake of believing we'd be able to deliver the full release in April.

At the moment, we don’t have a definitive date on the full release, because we don’t really want to make the same mistake again, but we can say with certainty that the next big story update of Long Gone Days is almost finished and will be released really soon.

We also would like to take this opportunity to share with you a lot of progress and changes that are included in this upcoming update. The first big change is that Ivan is finally usable in battle:


This chapter wouldn’t be complete without some new characters and party members:


One of the things people asked for was to include more instances to get to know your party members, which is why we added some optional scenes, alongside some more interesting side quests:


And several new places to visit, dungeons, and more:



We also took the time to improve some existing graphical assets, like some portraits (they were posted on a previous announcement here) and the title screen:


We also rebalanced the whole game, fixed several bugs that were reported on our Official Bug Report thread, amongst other changes. All in all, with this update, players will now have 4 more hours of gameplay!

We want to thank everyone for your tremendous support, we know you have all been extremely patient and it has been a long wait. Remember that you can contact us through the official Steam forums, Tumblr and Twitter. We’re also finishing setting up an official Discord server, so stay tuned for more information!

Hi everyone! Camila here to fill you in on what we’ve been doing so far, and some other news and tips related to Long Gone Days.

As you might already know, Long Gone Days is 4 chapters long, and we have already released chapter 1. Because chapter 2 and 3 are shorter than chapter 1, we’ve been working on these two together, and they’ll be released together on our next big update. So this means that only two major updates are pending!

Here are some screenshots we haven’t shared here yet:




Lynn and Ivan's portraits went through a make over:



Here’s also a bit of production artwork, regarding character and prop design:




And well, you can see more about it on our devlog and Twitter (and also some of the beautiful fanarts we've gotten!).


While we are working on native controller support at the moment, Steam Big Picture lets you easily configure your controller to play Long Gone Days!

If you are interested in trying it out, we recently posted the instructions on the forums.

You can also enjoy Long Gone Days on your phone using the Steam Link app. Here are some in-game screenshots of the game being played through the app:

We are glad to announce that the Mac version is finally out, and it includes the complete first chapter of the game (v0.1.4)! As this is the first Mac release of Long Gone Days, there was a lot of testing involved, but rest assured that our upcoming Mac releases won't take as long.

IMPORTANT: While Long Gone Days has been tested on several operating systems without major issues, we highly discourage to run it on OS X 10.11 El Capitan. We will make another update when we manage to get a stable version working on that specific macOS.

On the same note, please let us know if you encounter any bugs during your gameplay, using our Bug Report Thread.
