Today we wanted to share a little more about what we've got in the works at the moment.

Many players voiced their opinion that they would like to see multibiome islands, Thea: The Awakening-style.

So the Pangea update will allow you to select between the regular single-biome-island-style land generation and the new one, where multiple biomes can be found on a single, larger landmass. We're hoping to give you a totally new gameplay experience, both in single player and co-op.





When will you be able to try it out? We're aiming to release the patch within a couple weeks. It should hit the alpha branch first for testing and if all goes smoothly, the main branch shortly after.

Additions:
- Added confirmation popup after selecting Forfeit on the fight info screen

Fixes:
- Fixed essence, non-weapon skills using ReciveTrueDamage which were bypassing shield all together instead of dealing 150% to shielded character shield(reminder to health) or 100% to not shielded characters - bees should be less OP now ;)
- Fixed Cmok event from Volh DLC
- Fixed a bug in Summer Harvest event
- Fixed text bug in reply in Rat Curse event
- Activated Dark Volh Start event in Volh DLC module
- Fixed a number of roaming groups not spawning on the map
- Fixed rounding on summary screen sometimes not granting god points for exactly 100 game points
- Fixed Pikulik event, so it should not continue triggering endlessly
- Fixed swamps event from Volh DLC
- Fixed a bug in autumn preserves event
- Fixed sanity regeneration going over maximum attribute

Modding:
- Added the possibility to mix various textures between categories when making mods (i.e. item icon instead of skill icon etc)
- Fixed misleading name used within scripts to deal damage ReciveDamagePiercing to ReciveTrueDamageEssence
- Fixed misleading name used within scripts to deal damage ReciveShieldAndTrueDamage to ReciveTrueDamageAncient
- Removed misleading name used within scripts to deal damage (ReciveTrueDamage)

Hi All!

To continue our tradition from Thea: The Awakening's Coffee for Coding, we have just released a DLC called Pizza for Devs.

Please note! This DLC is not an expansion for Thea 2. It is a way to send us a tip to keep us motivated and help us release even more free content in the future. In return, you will receive a pack of images - cards featuring Thea 2 characters.

WARNING:

The next patch (on the 1st August) will include the first content update, balancing tweaks and other goodies. However, this required a lot of changes in the game's various databases, so after the next patch, you will not be able to load any saved games created before it. We'll keep the previous build on a beta branch as usual.

- Added tooltips to show character stats on Fight Info screen
- Added Chinese font atlas

- Fixed Steam Cloud downloading saved games even if using cloud was disabled
- Fixed a softlock when moving characters out of the group in the inventory and then opening equipment screen
- Fixed a crash that occurred if bug reporting service does not work
- Fixed a problem when a corrupted save would cause the game to not start
- Fixed missing bonuses from having multiple boats out of the same materials
- Fixed factions not spawning correctly

With a slight delay, but here it is :)

- Added Steam Cloud Saves
- Added Steam Achievements
- Added the first stage of Steam Workshop implementation - this one is for Database files. More information in this guide
- Improved group strength evaluation and difficulty scaling - this should reduce the difficulty of Lightbringers on the starting islands (among other things)

- Added morale per turn gain info to various screens
- Changes to UI to ensure support for ultrawide (i.e. 3840x1080) screens
- Fixed music not being played in a loop
- Fixed VO being played before the fight was concluded
- Fixed Load button's hit area on Load Game screen

This update will not break your saves :)

Hi All,

Looks like we'll need a bit more time to do the stuff we promised, so instead of rushing an untested build, we've decided to move the patch to next Thursday.
Apologies to all who were patiently waiting the whole day!

So - the latest build is not public yet and there will still be changes done to it during the week. For those willing to try it out - we've uploaded it to alpha branch. It contains cloud saves, achievements (though not properly tested yet, so some may not complete correctly or possibly cause a crash), changes to group strength scaling (which should fix Lightbringers being too strong early on), morale gain info on character stats and a handful of smaller fixes.

The alpha branch does not require a password and saves should be still fully compatible between this and the last version.

Hi All,

For those still unconvinced, we've added a demo version.
It contains all mechanics but is limited to 50 turns of gameplay - hopefully enough to help you decide whether Thea 2 is a game for you.

- Fix for dwarf baker quest, plus a few more small event fixes.
