Valheim - IronLisa
Long time no see! We have sent out more BETA-keys, and the feedback we have received have been invaluable. Seeing how much our players enjoy Valheim so far motivates us to work even harder! Many new items have been added to the game, and exciting things are happening on the development front. Two of these exciting things are that we are working with a sound designer and a musician to elevate the experience of the game.

Halloween, or Harvest fest as vikings would call it, is upon us and to celebrate it we are testing your knowledge through riddles on twitter. The first 50 people who pleases Odin by giving correct answers to all three riddles will receive one BETA-key each. Make sure to check out our twitter for the chance to prove your wits! https://twitter.com/Valheimgame

Now for the actual updates for the game:
New features and content

New armor: Padded armor

Protect yourself from enemies in this full padded armor (try to not get distracted by how cool you look).

New armor: Lox cape

Winter is nearing and it’s getting colder. This lox cape gives you cold resistance, and is perfect for cold and harsh weather.

Armor update: Added Linen colours

More colours have been added to the linen cape we revealed last month.

New Hairstyles and beards

With this hair-raising update we have increased the customization options with several beards and hairstyles.

New boss: Yagluth

We have created a whole new boss for you to fight if you feel brave enough. To save you from nightmares we won’t show a picture of him, but here is his guardian stone, consider it a sneak peek.

New enemy: Deathsquito

The only thing scarier than a mosquito is a deathsquito. You will definitely hear it coming, but are you fast enough to see it before it strikes?

New enemy: Fuling shaman

Fulings now have shamans roaming in their villages. They will charge at you with spells, so watch out!

New food: Fishwraps, Barley wine, Lox meat pie & Blood pudding

These new foodstuffs will all keep your stomach full, and although not all of them look very appetizing, they all come with their own pros.

New material: Needle
Looted from deathsquitos and big enough to use for weapon crafting.

New material: Black metal
A brutal material for brutal DIY crafts.

New Weapons: Black metal atgeir, black metal axe, black metal sword and black metal knife

What better way is there to signal that you are fearless than wielding these black metal weapons as you slay your enemies.

New weapon: Porcupine mace

This mace is made using deathsquito needles, talk about weaponizing your worst fears.

Miscellaneous Updates
Valkyrie overhaul

We gave the valkyrie a fresh new look by updating her model and textures. What do you think?

Hugin and Munin overhaul
Of course we couldn’t neglect Odin’s companions, they’ve received updated looks as well.

Sunken crypts overhaul

Not only birds deserve overhauls, so do crypts! We pretty much remade our sunken crypts from scratch, doesn’t it look creepy?

Darker skin
Darker shades for skin colour have now been added to the character creation.

Dream text
Your character will now dream when sleeping. But do you think a viking dreams about?

BOSSGARD - [BOSSGARD] The Sad Snail
By Hel, it's that time of year again! Skeletons rising from their graves, pumpkins making fools of passers by and Edith enjoying every bit of this macabre foolishness, all while reading her favorite book - "The joys of resurrecting your relatives as undying walking corpses", by R.R. Mor'Teen.

But I digress, you're here for the discount, aren't you? Perhaps you've been following us for a bit now, stalking, waiting for that pesky price to lower its guard. Mayhaps it's your first time hearing of Bossgard?

Please, sit down as I tell you the story of Bossgard, a story of 10 Vikings who set off to defeat 6 ridiculously powerful and outright ridiculous monsters.
It's a story of friends who gathered into parties of up to 5 players, where each player embodied a different Norse hero, with unique powers and abilities.

It's a story of terrible titans, also controlled by the players themselves. But not any titans, no. I'm speaking of cyclopean toast, gargantuan plungers and murder robo-pigs. No-one has ever seen the likes of these monsters, for they exist solely in the realm of Bossgard.

A tale of 2v1, 3v1, 4v1 and 5v1 battles, where heroes worked together to bring down the Boss using all manners of powers, pets, turrets and even Undead minions!

People asked questions! Questions like "Can I play this game online?", to which I would answer "Of course!". Some would say "But what if I don't have friends? Can I still play?", to which again I would reply "My dear fellow, of course, we have Bots ready to take you on!"

There are those who would even wonder "Can I play the Boss?". "You sure can" I'd answer with haste. "Both the Vikings and the Bosses are player-controlled".

It's also a story of bloodshed among brothers, terrible Viking vs Viking battles, where players would be split into 2 teams or better yet, each Viking for themsevles in Free-for-All matchups!

So you see, visitor, this is a long story which would surely take up, perhaps, too much of your precious time. To that I say, better you play the game yourself, and better yet, bring friends, for the battles of Bossgard are many and perilous.

The time for joining arms is now, visitor, for jo...yous cooperation awaits, as well as butt-crunching PvP, all with a very large measure of silly humour.

The price is down, the LAN party is upon you,

Bossgard awaits!
Sands of Salzaar - X.D. Indie
Dear desert travelers,

After sifting through a variety of high-quality entries for Sands of Salzaar’s Second Modding Event, we are excited to reveal today the list of cool mods selected by our official team! Before announcing the results, we’d like to thank all the participants. It was such a pleasure to explore everyone’s creations!

Compared to the First Modding Event in May, the second comp has inundated us with more diversity, more professional mods with higher technical requirements, more multiplayer maps, and even massive story overhauls that totally remake the game with all-new gameplay and storylines. Such progress not only comes from the constant technical updates on modding toolsets, but also owes a great deal to our passionate modders always dedicated to improving modding skills to realize the full potential of our humble indie.

So, without further ado, here comes the complete list of selected mods:

The Excellence Prize:

乌坦城之变 (The Wu Tan City Uprising)
Mod Author: skyswordkill



The whole multiplayer map based on the IP of the popular Chinese fiction Battle Through the Heavens is remade with an all-new GUI, leaving a strong first impression on players. The re-designed skill system consists of passive and active abilities to be ranked up. The gameplay is more of a stats-based RPG, with huge potential in future updates.

空界之传v2.0版 (Hollow Chronicles 2.0)
Mod Author: KK大魔王Acrab



Based on the Japanese novel series Sword Art Online, this mod includes two fictional characters with exclusive plots and quests, adds several new maps, and introduces skills like crafting equipment and items. The mod overall is very polished with frequent updates. Some newly-added dungeons are also well-designed.

The Merit Prize:

墨家传人正式版 (The Descendants of Mo)
Mod Author: M3小蘑菇



If you like game storytelling and martial arts, this is the mod you can’t miss. A new character The Descendants of Mo is added and the original storylines about Mohism will soon get you immersed in the game. We really look forward to seeing the ending of the story!

少女与弯刀 (Femme Salzaar)
Mod Author: HA会长



This campaign mod is the base mod for “The Weaker Sex”. These two mods feature an original female character, new female NPCs and a variety of female combat arms. The recent update remade characters’ portraits and added a slew of new storylines. Strongly recommended.

动态人物互动与势力交互大修 (Dynamic Character and Faction Interactions)
Mod Author: skyswordkill & 勃兰登堡



This mod expands the base game’s Favor system and interactions with NPCs and factions. Now you can have chit chat, practice fighting with other fellow characters, make confessions of love to your crush, trade cities with other factions, and even beg for goods.

数码宝贝 (Digimon)
Mod Author: 宇文kong



This mod adds a variety of Digimons as combat arms in-game which can be upgraded with different progression routes. The Digimon library is comprehensive with unique signature skills , and the models are so exquisitely-designed that sometimes cause frame drops in the troop upgrade interface.

The Creativity Prize:
  • Horde and Tank
  • Grant Instant death to your enemies-Kara No Kyoukai -The mystic eyes of death perception
  • 情比金坚3.0 (Heart of Gold)
  • “星”世界 (Starworld)

Congrats again to all the authors who made these awesome mods above! You guys will receive our prizes in the following weeks. If you haven’t gotten in touch with us yet, no worries, we will contact you on Steam, or you can join our Discord or email us (indie@xindong.com) so that we can send you the prize.

We are glad to see there are English mods on the list. Given some coding issues in English modding toolsets, it is quite difficult for our English modders to get their creative juices flowing this time. To fix these problems, we are currently working on localizing all the Excels containing Chinese item IDs for modding. Besides, we will optimize English modding support in the next major update, which you can read about in our roadmap update blog, and more popular Workshop mods including the prize-winning mods in this comp will be localized into English for our English players to enjoy a variety of custom gaming experiences.

For Sands of Salzaar, mod not only substantially expands the original gaming experience with innovative custom content, but also helps us find out what players would like to see and change in this game. Therefore, in addition to improving modding support in future updates, we will continue to add new content to the base game, rebalance and optimize in-game systems in accordance with feedback from our Community. The desert world will keep evolving. Stay tuned for more!

Sincerely,
Sands of Salzaar’s Team
Late For Work - SalmiGames
Hello everyone,

it's Halloween time and that means that our extra spooky content is making a return. The island inhabitans have been replaced with some truly terrifying creatures. Zombies, skeletons and mummies will be walking around the city. Street lanterns will turn to jack o’ lanterns. Witches will fly through the sky and many other spooooky surprises are waiting for you.



Some of the game modes are also explicitly affected with some scary fiends. Most notably, the UFOs are now Witches, who are trying to abduct the local cattle and some other participants of certain game modes have been spookified.

Single Player Mode Gets Some Love

Following some very polite feedback in one of our few negative reviews, we took another look at our single player campaign:



Low and behold, we did have a few bugs related to the campaign, which prevented player progress! Thank you kind reviewer for letting us know! We've fixed the issues and tested the whole campaign once more. Single player mode is back! The full changelist of fixes is below.

We hope you enjoy our Halloween content. If you want to share your thoughts and feedback on the game or to keep track of what we're working, make sure to join our Discord.

And of course, if you enjoy the game, please be so kind as to leave us a review on the store page. It means a lot!

Cheers,
Salmi Games

Changelist - Build 645 - Fixes
  • Bombers have been removed from Single player campaign
  • Fixed mission descriptions
  • Fixed geometry of Intro levels to avoid menu clipping
  • SteamVR bindings loaded correctly even when launching from SteamVR
  • Fixed Mission 1 which was triggering the wrong AI wave pattern
  • Cars were being incorrectly spawned instead of actual enemies
GrowRilla VR - SalmiGames
Hello everyone,

Just in time for Halloween, we are unveiling a special feature today. We've used this extensively during development to help us test GrowRilla. Today we want to present to you... the cheats file!

Before we jump into that, a small reminder: make sure to check out GrowRilla during the Steam Halloween event - we generate extra spooky events in the procedurally-generated maps, which you can only experience during the Halloween week. And now back to the cheats file!



With the cheats file you can edit certain properties of the game to tweak the game's behavior and override various aspects of the level generation. For example, you can make yourself invincible or increase the spawn rates of certain enemies or spawn additional nukes in the game. Or even change gravity!

Currently, the number of supported properties that be tweaked is limited, but if you have any good suggestions for settings you would like to edit, let us know and we'll do our best to add them. For the level generation, we've exposed almost the entire system, so the number of things you can change is almost infinite!

Cheat Guide
We've prepared a full cheat guide, which you can read here. Below is an overview of what you can change in the game:
  • allowCheating: true/false (allows / ignores the use of the cheats file)
  • addSecretWeapons: true/false (spawns nukes at regular farms)
  • invincible: true/false (turns invincibility on / off)
  • overwriteProbabilities:[{"name":"PoIName","probability":100.0}] (Overwrites the spawn probability of certain places of interests / enemies)

overwriteProbabilities is the "meat and potatoes" to hacking the level generation. We go into much more detail in the above mentioned cheat file guide. We hope you try it out and customize the GrowRilla islands to your liking. Hopefully you'll even discover new or funny configurations.

That sums up the major additions in this update. We've also made a few fixes and improvements based on player feedback, see the full changelist below. As per usual, we always appreciate your feedback on our games. You can chat with us over on our discord.

Cheers,
Salmi Games

Changelist - Build 391
Improvements
  • Added a deadzone for joystick locomotion
  • Added the cheats file to the GrowRilla data root folder
  • Added a folder with cheat files examples to the root folder
  • You now no longer instantly die as a giant gorilla if you enter shallow water
  • Expose gravity setting in cheats file

The Hunter's Journals - Red Ripper - grindwheelgames
Red Ripper is proving to be one of the toughest challenges in the series to date. As such, it is very likely that you will see the general death page many, many times before you defeat the terrible evil facing the Sunlight Alliance. As with previous releases, the final page previewed before the game goes live is the death art, which you can find below.



While not an official part of The Stasis, if a person of note dies they are often commemorated with a small shrine or ossuary where they fell. This means they remain dead in the same place, this preserving continuity in future years. As a visitor to the Sunlight Alliance, you will be afforded this dubious honour...even though you are a godless heathen in the eyes of the sainted nobility.
