Having monitored feedback on the game there have been some concerns raised about it being a little too grindy, so we've made some balancing tweaks aimed at reducing friction a little!

- Reduced the requirement for story chapter 14's goal down from 100000 gold to 75000 gold

• Villagers will now catch fish at the fishing boat.

• Fixed issue with knight attack animation not centered.
  
• When manually controlling a villager the game speed will be automatically changed to normal speed.
  
• Fixed issue with the attack and build animation being too fast.
  
• Removed the 'market stall', resources purchased from the market will now be spawned at the 'resource teleport' instead.
  
• When a resource is sold at the market the coin received will now be shown above it.

That's right, in less than a week we've already reached more than 2,000 Backers and we're getting close to 50% of our goal! You guys are the best. Thank you so much for all your support and your feedback, keep on getting the word out there!

As the Kickstarter Campaign is starting to shape up, we also have a few announcements to make!

• You've been many to ask for it, and we've decided to commit: We will release Solasta: Crown of the Magister on Mac as well! (Release date may not be the same)
  
• We are currently in discussing for Russian Localization and a couple other languages!
  
• We missed it the first time, but we've been given a "Project We Love" Tag by Kickstarter! Thanks guys!

This week-end has been an active one. We've reached not one, not two... But SIX Achievements, unlocking two Social Rewards at once!

• The Wallpaper Pack, which can be found on our Website. Please keep in mind that a lot of these are Mood / Research Environment Art, and may not appear in the final game. They were created to help us visualize the world of Solasta and its different Biomes, and are not necessarily representative of what you will find in-game.

Here's a sample of what you will find

• Iron Man Mode is now Unlocked. This is for all of you crazy people who like challenges, for there will be no save-scumming allowed in this mode! Pray to the gods of RNG that they may treat you well, you will need their support.

Here is where we're currently standing for the next Social Goals!

It's been a tad quiet around here while I was busy getting a nice update together for everyone. The upcoming version 1.02 comes with a new game mode, a new convoy and more!

If you're eager to play that before it's publically released then check out the PREVIEW channel and give these changes a spin.

But for now, let's have a peek:



This brand new game mode can be unlocked by playing three games. You don't need to complete them, you just need to make it to the final screen. If you have already played that many games, simply finishing one more will unlock it!

And what is Custom Game? Well, it allows you to select up to 4 modifiers to activate for your run. This means you can tweak your difficulty and flavor how ever you want it. And to make that even mroe fun I've added a few new modifiers, some of which will also be available in the Daily Challenge!

More details on these new modifiers soon!



Another new piece of content is a brand new convoy. The Pioneers are ex-members of the Union of the Five Fingers that have split off to build a new home free from the oppressive regime.

This convoy is all about armor and obstacles and will even feature a UNIQUE fourth perk that you do not need to unlock and that will influence every fight!

Aside from that there's also been 6 new cards added to the game, a lot of balancing changes and other tweaks. The final change log will become available on Wednesday and feature some more details!

Until then,

- Martin

Roadmap

Gather 'round the Captain's Quarters, for it's your last chance to parlay: Battlewake officially launches tomorrow!



Find the most able seamen to add to your party at the official Survios Discord, and keep a weather eye out for a special Battlewake community event on September 19. We'll you 'pon the seas tomorrow!

Hello, we have made a decision that will condition the future of the project: migrate to the latest version of the Unity engine that we use for the development of Triton Survival. It is not easy to adapt all the libraries and get everything to work correctly, but after a few days, the results are positive.

This migration will allow us to benefit from a new system of terrain creation, with greater options and better performance, which will undoubtedly allow us to create better scenarios.

We are looking forward to finishing the last game update and show you soon the results we are getting.

Best regards!
