Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown - Chris Koźmik
Enabled Cloud Saves for all Silver Lemur Games products (Stellar Monarch, Automobile Tycoon, Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown). Also all future games will have Cloud Saves available from the start.


In case of problems:
  • Make sure you have "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization" checked for in the game's properties (by default it's checked)
  • Note that the savefiles will be updated when you close the Steam client.
  • The first time you run the game with cloud saves enabled you might need to wait a bit till Steam synchronizes all the existing files (depending on the number of save files you have already).


Reminders:
Recently Steam introduced Steam Developer Page if you follow it you will be notified each time I release a new game/expansion/etc. I strongly recommend to follow it.

In addition, if you have a moment could you please leave a Steam review of the game? It does not need to be long. It makes a big difference for an indie developer like me and increases the chance I will be making games in that style in future.

No Man's Sky - Hello Games
Hello Everyone!
It has been a few weeks since our last development update, and we wanted to share a little more news from the studio. You can read the full post here.

The team here are still working intensely to address high-priority issues, as well as to improve the overall polish and quality of life of the game. Update 2.12 has been released today, with the long list of fixes and improvements available at the end of this post. However, we also have a larger feature to announce…

Community Research
Today, we will be launching a community event, with new content available to earn from the Space Anomaly. Each mission completed at the Nexus will contribute to a cross-reality target for all Travellers. Universal progress will unlock a series of exotic items synthesised by Polo’s robotic companion, available to purchase with Quicksilver.

As with every update, all this new content is completely free for all existing players – there are no microtransactions in No Man’s Sky.



The event commences today, and has no set deadline for completion. Progress may be tracked from the Galactic Atlas website, or from the Quicksilver Robot itself.

Nexus Mission Rewards
Quicksilver Reward Missions

Once each day, a mission rewarding Quicksilver will become available at the Nexus. These Quicksilver missions can queue up, to a maximum stack of 3 (so you won’t miss out even if you don’t have the opportunity to play every day).

Encrypted Missions

These rare, high-priority missions offer especially interesting and lucrative rewards. Mysterious in nature, their requirements are secret until the moment the mission commences.

From the Quicksilver Synthesis Bot
Specialist Polo’s robotic companion is busy developing a set of 5 new customisation items, which together form a complete armoured suit. This practical fashion choice is favoured by the Vy’keen, but is wearable by explorers of any race.

Each customisation item will become available for synthesis as all Traveller iterations complete missions at the Nexus.

Tier 1 – Armoured Boots

Reinforced foot protection system with integrated tread-balancing gyroscopes. Hundreds of years of high-tech research, as applied to footwear.



Tier 2 – Armoured ExoGloves

Armoured gloves, perfect for wielding weapons, impressing martial cultures, and picking really spiky plants.



Tier 3 – Armoured Leggings

Carefully woven nano-fibres make these leggings both flexible and resistant to small-arms fire. Washing requires specialist equipment.



Tier 4 – Armoured Chestpiece

Reinforced yet stylish, this Exosuit chest armour provides excellent abdominal protection without compromising on looks.



Tier 5 – Armoured Shoulderpads

Powerful shoulder armour, this Exosuit augmentation comes with high-voltage connections into the user’s skeletal system. This current jolts the user’s body as required, manipulating the muscles into their optimal defensive posture.



Development Update
Patch 2.12 is live today, with the notes available below. There is much more coming very soon. Thank you, so much, for playing.

Sean

Shooting Hurts - JVidalGameDev


Today is the one-year anniversary of Shooting Hurts!

I just wanted to take a sec to thank everyone who’s given my little game a try! Seeing your reactions though reviews, posts and videos has been a fantastic experience. It’s genuinely amazing to think that so many people have tried out and had fun playing through something I spent so long bringing to life. Developing and releasing Shooting Hurts has been such a ride, and I’m excited to see where game development takes me in the future!

I had wanted to have a new project ready for the anniversary, but what with college heating up and the general craziness life can throw, I’m afraid to say I don’t have anything substantial for you all yet. BUT, if you want to take a peek into the kind of things I’ve been working on, you should go ahead and follow me on twitter here!

I’m planning to start regularly posting small videos and screenshots to show off whatever little projects or mechanics I’m currently tinkering with. Hope to see you all there!

Once again, thank you all for trying out this game, and special shout-out to everyone who’s taken the time to see the true ending! Your dedication means the world to me!

There’s more to come in the future, but for now, I wish you all Good Luck in all you try to do!
Skyforge - Fayne
Nihaz's Army of Demons is ready to come down on Aelion! We must rally together and push the enemy back. Fight with all your might!

The demonic spawns are stronger and more stubborn than ever! Prove your mastery, complete new challenges, and earn unique rewards!


Seasonal Challenges
The demonic invasion has brought us new seasonal challenges. All previously earned points have been reset. You will have to prove that you're worthy of the new reward! This time more challenges will be available for all characters, but you will face the most difficult ones, too. We still think that the more effort a player invests into a challenge, the more valuable it becomes.



Some of the challenges of this season were submitted by players! A recent contest has yielded challenges that are already in the game. We hope authors and other players will find them challenging to earn.

Remember, the challenges are unlocked in stages—in the first, third, and fifth weeks of the season. Some of the challenges will come as a surprise. They will be revealed only on day one of every new stage. Keep in mind that in the first days of each stage, some challenges will grant an increased number of points. We recommend you start with those, because the bonus is temporary, and completing these challenges will get you to the final reward sooner.


What can I get for completing challenges?

Aside from game currency, Premium subscription, and chests with equipment, completing the challenges of the current invasion will bring you a unique Divine Aspect Khelb-tal, Astral Star Wings, a demonic Trewang, a Conqueror of Darkness bracelet, and a Hero Armor of a demonic color.

Accumulate the maximum number of points to earn an Invasion Fighter's Bonus. You will receive the Conqueror of Darkness title, a portrait frame, the Conqueror of Darkness Halo, 5,000 Argents, and 3 million Credits.

Players have access to eleven basic rewards, plus another nine extra rewards for purchasing a seasonal subscription. Upon purchasing it, you'll receive Astral Conqueror's Halo and the Portrait Element right away! You can purchase the seasonal subscription in the game.



Challenges await the immortals! Prove you are worthy of the reward!
Warsim: The Realm of Aslona - Troy - Warsim!
Alright so let me start by saying, this week has been interesting and troublesome to say the least. I have come into multiple problems and setbacks with my laptop and I'm awaiting a new keyboard after some keys got accidentally destroyed, there have also been some other issues I'm trying to solve so the workpace hasn't been where I've wanted it to be...

...However, I'm still super excited to bring this update which breathes a bit of life into an area that was flat and devoid of any depth for so long, it wasn't planned but after visiting the minor bandit code to put in the ability to hire the groups directly as a bandit king (thanks to a suggestion by Defender) I saw just how shallow the whole system was and decided to put and end to it.

MINOR BANDIT OVERHAUL
New kinds of bandit leaders

So this system was somewhat modelled on how the Goblin Slaver update was done, meaning there are numerous different traits available each having a different effect on how the leader acts. There are 10 different personalities total, some are similar like recruiter and expert recruiter, and some allow for special abilities like Mercenary captain or Land merchant.

* Recruiter (Double units each year)
* Hordevassal (Supports Phenor's Bandit Horde if it's active)
* Brutal Trainer (Half recruits, Men have +60% stats (120 battlescore bandits and 200 battlescore Warlords)
* Expert Robbers (Take more gold)
* Honest Men (No robbery)
* Expert Recruiter (Triple units each year) (option to sell them your bandits, at 10 gold each)
* Merry Men (Doesn't rob as much gold, and never robs you if it means you have nothing)
* Moneygrubber (+20% Gold gain from rents and robberies)
* Mercenary Captain (Option to buy bandits from him, Occasionally runs merc contract events)
* Land Merchant (Sells any lands above the one they have, if they have only one land he invades automatically)

So you'll now see a group a honest men who won't rob anyone, right next to a bandit group with an expert recruiter growing in number fast only to be replaced by a brutal trainer who turns that large army into a feared unit where a warlord could kill one of your knights with ease.

* Added expert robbers take twice the gold
* Added moneygrubber leaders gain 20% extra rental gold each turn
* Added honest men don't rob anyone
* Added land grab factions always invade when attacking and on only one land
* Added updated battlescore for brutal trainer units (125 and 200)
* Added merry men dont' rob you if it would leave you broke
* Added moneygrubbers gain +20% of normal stolen gold
* Added recruiter leaders get double units each turn
* Added brutal trainers get half units each turn
* Added expert recruiters get triple units each turn

New stuff you can do with minor bandit groups

This update hasn't just changed what they can do, but also what you can do with them. Now you can view additional stats, you can talk to the leader directly, you can speak to random local bandits and if you have the 'Bandit King' backstory you can actually attempt to hire the group with a chance of gaining it's leader as a personal champion whom you can send to the Arena/to run a fort/etc. It's also now possible for you to try and have your diplomat broker a truce with a group instead of just paying gold, but there are risks!

* Added ability to buy land from land merchant bandit leader (if truced)
* Added ability to buy men from merc captain leaders (if truced)
* Added ability to sell men to expert recruiter leaders (if truced)
* Added ability to view all stats for bandit leaders
* Added ability to hire bandit group if you are the bandit king and (public op lower than 20 or group is merry men or honest men) (credit Defender)
* Added ability to speak to random bandit (25 dialogues)
* Added 36 unique dialogues (4 for each bandit leader type)
* Added ability for bandit group leader to join you as a knight if his group is assimilated with you
* Added ability for bandit group leader to head off into the world if his group is assimilated with you
* Added ability for bandit group leader to join you as a champion if his group is assimilated with you
* Added dynamic refusal from bandit group leader if you ask them to join
* Added ability for diplomat to broker truce with the bandits
* Added ability for diplomat to be killed brokering truce with bandits

New bandit leader random events

Now there are several events with at least one for each trait that can happen at the end of a turn, and some pre-existing bandit events have been improved upon.

* Added rival group join event for recruiter bandit leaders
* Added successful robberies event for expert robbery bandits
* Added new potion merchant raid event
* Added new old artifact seller raid event
* Added robbed nobles for village event for merry men bandit leaders
* Added defend village and gain recruits for honest men bandit leaders
* Added impassioned speech event for expert recruiter bandit leaders
* Added call for the bandit horde event for hordevassal bandit leaders
* Added half men to horde event for hordevassal bandit leaders
* Added brutal training regime event for brutal trainer leaders
* Added land capture event for land merchant leaders
* Added merc contract event for merc leaders
* Added 1 in 3 chance event for successful scam to double gold for moneygrubber bandit leaders

Minor bandit bugs and tweaks

A couple of bugs and tweaks done during the development, also a little cheat code for testing different types of bandit leader!

* Reworked the hire attack screen
* Fixed bandit group 5 giving all of their end of turn gold to bandit group 1
* Fixed capitalisation bug in minor bandit group screen
* Reworked layout of minor bandit screen
* Merged minor bandit code and made it 5x more efficient
* Added secret code 69 in bandit group choice screen which spawns a random set of bandit leaders

UNRELATED BUGFIXES
Some bug fixes suggested by you guys! and one I found

* Fixed Flag of Aslona reference (credit u/Dargonsploof)
* Fixed broken bluetrii screen (credit HisShadow)
* Fixed hirelings unable to be ignored or trap doored (credit HisSHadow)
* Fixed hiring more units than intended (credit HisShadow)
* Fixed niklas text line bug

Custom Match
Improved Zombie Mode


The days of slow, weak zombies are over! Custom match Zombie modes are getting the following improvements:

      • Increased the running speed by 1.5 times
      • Increased the jumping height by 2 times
      • Increased the speed of attacks by 1.5 times
    • Zombies now have much more health and stronger healing power
      • Increased strength by more than 2 times
      • Can recover health automatically when they are not engaged in combat
      • No fall damage when falling from high locations
      • Receive less damage from guns, except for headshots
    • Zombies can now drive vehicles
      • Zombies can now move around using vehicles instead of simply running on foot
  • Moreover, we are developing a virus infection feature, which is one of the core elements of PUBG Zombie (PUBZ) content. Internal tests are ongoing for various features to make the  zombie mode matches more diverse and exciting. We look forward to your feedback on the improved zombie mode

PUBG Partner Icon
  • In Custom Matches, an icon will be displayed in front PUBG Partner's nicknames. This icon will only be shown in the match information section and waiting room

Matchmaking
Implemented a system to prioritize matching players who speak the same language together in Duo and Squad mode
  • Due to this change, it may be more likely to occasionally be placed on a team of only 2 or 3 players when playing Squads.
Dev Note: We're making this change in response to player feedback and frustration to being placed in a Squad with players who speak a different language, making it difficult to communicate properly. For many players, this change will not be noticeable, but in regions such as Europe, with multiple countries in close proximity speaking many different languages, we expect ease of communication to be noticeably improved. As the goal of this change is to improve your gameplay experience, please share your feedback and let us know your thoughts. We will actively monitor player feedback and make additional changes if required.
