Hey guys, today (30th of April) we have uploaded a new build of SpellPunk in which we have completely revamped the spell recognition system. We have also changed the symbols for the Water and Air Spells.
Give it a try and let us know what do you think.

Howdy Folks!

Thanks for the great feedback on Update 24! I've found a bit of a critical issue with the new game event system that was causing it to stop running events after the first time it attempted to trigger one. This meant that events generally weren't being triggered very much. They would trigger once after starting a game or loading a save game and then never again.

This should now be fixed and events should occur more often. I've also fixed up some notification issues related to available research. Check the release notes for all the changes/fixes.

• Fixed: Research button on main HUD not updating available research count when discoveries are made in some cases
  
• Fixed: Game version info on main menu showing on top of mod manager window in some cases
  
• Fixed: Game events not properly resetting after a run attempt. This caused events to stop occurring after the first attempt. Events should be more common now.

We are happy to announce that a lot of new content has made it into the game on the eve of the last month of spring! It’s high time to participate in events, have fun with friends, and - of course - welcome a new pet into the game!

NEW RARE PET
A tiny, but very tough dragon cub will become a valuable companion to novice and seasoned adventurers alike!
Let’s say hello to Flameling. This rare pet will grow and become more powerful alongside its master, all the while learning new powerful abilities - all six of them! This means that, due to already being able to learn the max number of skills from the get-go, this little guy has no need for pendants!

The brand new pet can be purchased for only 149 elirs and comes packed with a number of useful items, such as: Elven Tears x10, Ruby Collar, Excellent Steel Protection.



Initially, the Flameling is able to use 2 skills: Basic Dragon Executioner and Basic Naga Frenzy. As its owner continues to level up, so will the tiny dragon uncover new hidden powers and upgrades:

1. Once its master reaches level 10, the pet will learn the 3rd skill - Basic Frisky Shadow;
2. Once its master reaches level 25, the pet will learn the 4th skill - Basic Oath;
3. Once its master reaches level 60, the pet will receive a +50 bonus to all stats and its damage output will be boosted by 2%;
4. Spending 9 elirs will let the pet learn the 5th skill - Basic Naga Spirit;
5. The Naga Frenzy will be upgraded from Basic to Advanced level;
6. Once its master reaches level 65, the pet will receive another +50 bonus to all stats and its damage output will likewise be boosted by 5%;
7. For 9 elirs the Dragon Executioner can be upgraded to Advanced level;
8. Once its master reaches level 70, spending 9 elirs can upgrade the Frisky Shadow skill to Advanced level;
9. Another 9 elirs will upgrade Oath to Advanced level;
10. Yet another 9 elirs will upgrade the Naga Spirit skill to Advanced level;
11. Spending 30 elirs will allow the pet to learn the 6th and final skill - Basic Devastating Flame. This upgrade will become available on May 9;
12. On August 4, the pet will receive its final +50 bonus to all stats.



MAY DAY EVENTS
Check into the game every day from April 30 until May 6 to collect valuable gifts! Upon claiming your second, fourth, and finally sixth rewards more goodies will become available in the form of Total Check-ins packs. In addition to regular items, these chests also include lots of Gardener tokens for the current Tree Spirit event.



THE TREE SPIRIT EVENT
From April 30 until May 13, talk to the event manager Helena who can be found hanging out by the fountain in Vallund. She will bestow the special Tree Spirit item on your character, allowing them to transform into one of the two types of magical beings - either the benevolent Forest Treant or the corrupted Fire Treant. Additionally, you will receive the Sprinkler which can be used to water other players transformed into Treants up to 5 times every day.





Forest Treants LOVE the water!

After becoming a Forest Treant, you will have 5 minutes to get watered by other players at least 6 times to receive the best possible reward: 70 000 silver and 8 Gardener tokens.
Otherwise, the resulting reward will be considerably lower: 30 000 silver and only 4 Gardener tokens.

Players using their Sprinklers to help a good Treant wet their leaves will also earn a small reward, amounting to 10 000 silver and 2 Gardener tokens. However, keep in mind that...

Fire Treants HATE the water!

Transforming into a Fire Treant gives you a different objective and that is to stay away from other Sprinkler-wielding players for 3 minutes, after which you will gain 50 000 silver and 6 Gardener tokens.
Being sprinkled with water will immediately end your run, cutting your reward down to only 30 000 silver and 4 Gardener tokens.

However, the hero who has managed to water the dangerous Fire Treant before they can grow to full strength gains an increased reward: 20 000 silver and 4 Gardener tokens!

Perform these tasks every day to earn as many rewards as possible!
The Gardener tokens you collect can be exchanged for valuable items at Helena’s event store.



NEW PACKS
Susie’s Gift
In case 30 Trial of Dreams attempts per day just isn’t enough for you, Susie’s Gift can grant you 10 additional attempts!
The first pack is available at a 90% discount for only 9 elirs! Additional packs will cost 80 elirs each.

Hello to you all and thank you for checking out Radical Rabbit Stew (Coming July 16th)
For our first official post on Steam we wanted to get you all up to speed with what we are up to leading up to launch. It has been busy on all front as we get closer and closer to release BUT we hope the next few months are just as exciting for you as it is for us.

We currently have a demo on our page if you have missed the opportunity to play the game at various shows over the last year. You should get a great feel for the game with a taster (chef pun) to what the opening stages of the game is like. We welcome all feedback and want to hear from you about your thoughts.

We are new to the Discord game but we welcome you to join our chat. Here you can hear announcements, discuss the game as well as see what other games are coming down the pipeline. There’s even a ‘Show us your pets’ section!
Find us here: https://discord.gg/soldout

If you also have Twitter we recommend following us @SoldOut & @PugstormGames for news as well as competitions. In fact we currently have an opportunity for you to get involved in contributing to our Radical Rabbit Stew cook book. Interested? More details here:

And that’s it for now.

We are so pleased to finally be able to make this update. The journey has been long, but Celestian Tales Realms Beyond is complete and ready for release.

If you have played Celestian Tales: Old North, you are already familiar with the House of Levant, and you will certainly enjoy what things look like 10 years later. If you have long forgotten the story details, you can replay Old North and have your certain choices and decisions carry over, or jump right into Realms Beyond and enjoy a brand new experience.

Right now we are targeting May 7th as the release date. There a few approvals that we need to finalize and some coordinating we need to complete between the various distribution channels. This may yet change again as certain things are out of our control, but we are hopeful this will remain the date.

These are trying times for all of us, and we hope you're all safe and healthy wherever you are. Hopefully this update can help shine a little more light to your day.

Game Trailer for Celestian Tales Realms Beyond:

Please be patient for a bit longer. We will keep you updated on the development of Yacht Mechanic Simulator and when we’ll be ready to announce the release date, you’ll be the first to know!

If you all really want it, we can definitely think about it!

First of all, you can buy a crappy boat and fix it up. Clean it, wipe it, paint it, put in new equipment and fix whatever is broken. Once everything is nice and shiny, you can think about some visual tuning and finally put the yacht on sale to get money for new projects. You can also take on jobs and gain sailing ranks.

There’s nothing to be afraid of - the game will explain what each element does and what requires fixing. Give it a couple of tries and you’ll be a pro yacht mechanic!

Of course it’s possible - Yacht Mechanic Simulator is in a way like House Flipper, but with yachts. There are tens of elements waiting for you - railings, couches and chairs or even clocks.

It depends what your goal was. If you had a fixing contract, your job is done. But if you want to put it up for auction, don’t hesitate and try to sell it for as much, as you can!

Our goal is to put 12-15 boats in the game. They will differ in many aspects, including price - while you’ll be able to get the the cheapest and smallest boats even for $15-20k, the most expensive ships will cost up to 30 million dollars!

The biggest yacht in the game will be 33 meters long. That’ll require some work!

Join the Stronghold Discord - https://discord.gg/qMG7Zae

Firefly Studios is asking YOU - the Stronghold fans - to submit your screams, grunts, shrieks, hollers and groans to be featured in the final game. Unable to source actors and record audio in person, our hope is that enough players will be willing to warm up their vocal chords and scream into a microphone for the chance to themselves perish in-game.



While in the past we have invited fans to vote on weapon designs, armour and even which deceased animals can be thrown by trebuchet, submitting screams is new for us! The current global pandemic is presenting developers of all shapes and sizes with unique challenges, but we're hoping players will enjoy letting it all out and bursting a few ear drums in the process.



You can take part by joining the #screams-of-stronghold channel on the official Stronghold Discord server (link above), where you can find out more about the submission process and technical requirements to make their screams useable in-game.
