Hey hey hey! ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights is just 3 days away! 🎉

Today we have two celebratory illustrations. The first features Dark Witch Eleine and was drawn by Mirei Takeishi, character concept artist and animator on ENDER LILIES. The second is from Tetsuya Uehara, concept and background artist for ENDER LILIES and is titled "The Rain of Death and the Immortal Knight!"

Thank you for coming along with us on this journey. Keep an eye out for more artwork as we race towards launch.

No one knows what dangers can await in the dark alleys of the city at night 🌃

Hi all!
We've been busy updating and improving the game, and now the update is out! We've been listening to your feedback and fixed some of those things, thanks alot for the reviews and suggestions!
Some of the improvements/changes in this update are:

- 3D surround sound support
- More dynamic sound

- Lots of models and textures are updated with improved quality (and more are also on the way), here is an example of the difference:


- Russian
- Simplified Chinese

- Now you can control both left/right and up/down with thumb and zoom with fingertips :-)

- If/when you rage quit, now you can continue that level from the last passed checkpoint the next day when you're calm again, instead of having to restart the level from the beginning :-)

- Here you can tune the graphics how you like it :)


Apart from this, some have asked what things are new and/or changed in Switchball HD, compared to the original game. Quite a few things actually! We have compiled a list of all the stuff here:


- We first developed Switchball for PC. After that, we ported it to XBox 360, and finally PS3. During the porting we streamlined and improved the levels, as we learned new things for each port. The HD version contains the best versions of the levels, now finally on PC.

- The old game was made for a 30 fps experience. When we decided to improve the rendering to 60fps, the old physics felt a bit sluggish. So we re-tweaked all of the physics to feel better with the new 60 fps experience.

- Improving does not always mean to add more things. Sometimes it’s better to remove stuff that’s superfluous or working poorly. The old camera had several modes, with each mode having both pros and cons. It also got a lot of critique. So we decided to simplify it, and put the control in the players hands instead. That way you have full control, and the camera never does something unexpected.

- The old PC version of Switchball was made for 32-bit processors on Windows XP. A lot has happened since then in the PC-space, so we’ve rewritten the engine to support 64-bit processors and the modern Windows 10 operating system.

- Back in 2007, wide screen and 4k wasn’t a thing on PC. The most common monitor type was 4:3 and 1024x768, so we optimized the old PC version of Switchball for that. In 2021 things are quite different, so we added support for wide (and ultra-wide) aspect ratios, as well as high resolutions such as 4k.

- The old versions of Switchball was hard limited to 30 fps. This was mostly a technical constraint to be able to guarantee that the physics was stable and behaving as expected (for the most part :)). In 2021, thanks to increases in processor speeds, we could increase that to a smooth 60 fps experience.

- The old PC version was made to work with GPUs having 64MB of RAM. Today, mainstream GPUs have about 100x that! So for the HD version, all in-game textures have been remastered from their original 1k resolution to 4k.


- For more information about linear lighting, see this link: Chapter 24. The Importance of Being Linear

- For more information about tone mapping, see this link: Tone mapping
NOTE: this is NOT the same as support for HDR displays - Switchball HD does NOT support that yet.

- For example, metal materials now looks more like actual metal instead of shiny plastic

- Added contrast and saturation to improve color reproduction

- Simplified renderer to use fewer rendering passes, resulting in better performance
- Improved batching to reduce draw calls

- Helps to separate foreground and background elements

- Gives nice colors to distant geometry, and blends it with skybox a lot better

- Less compression artifacts, cleaner normal maps

- improves performance and memory consumption




We hope you'll enjoy it ! ːsteamhappyː

Hi Everyone,

• When you encounter frequent crash/flashback/stuck, you can try window mode (currently it will be easy to when you frequently switch to other apps)
  
• When you encounter black screen, try pressing F11
  
• You will need to open a new savedata after updating the version. It is very likely that you will encounter other problems when loading the old savedata.

1. Fixed a BUG where villagers would sink into the ground
   
2. Fixed some bugs that caused the game to crash
   
3. Fixed a BUG where putting down the shrine would cause the villagers to get stuck
   
4. Optimized the performance of vistas, now the building frame count is higher
   
5. Fixed a BUG where some items dropped by monsters would not be picked up
   
6. Optimized some BOSS monster attack animations
   
7. Added a setting where warehouse managers would help each other and help each other carry items
   
8. Reduced the power of the senile BUFF, and will now retain half the power of the young
   
9. Added screen prompts when monsters attack

At the same time, I hope you can understand that the current game DEMO is not perfect. We really appreciate and need your support, which can help us find more bugs and help us improve the game.

If you have any bugs or feedback you'd like to share with us, please use the Steam discussion, or join our official Discord channel.

When you encounter crashes and froze, please pack the save data and latest crash log together and send to the dev via carlchou1992@foxmail.com.
The save data files's path should be C:\Users\your user account name\AppData\Local\GodSimulator\Saved\SaveGames, and the crash log's path should C:\Users\your user account name\AppData\Local\GodSimulator\Saved\Crashes (just pack the latest one when your game crashed)

We've fixed a bug that caused players to be unable to enter the tavern.

Researchers today announced that their trials which had been showing promise for years broke down. Their field of study was simulation-theory; the idea that we live in a universe run as an immensely complex simulation. Dr Bostrom suggests that being unable to replicate previous results is evidence for, not against their ideas, and suggests that “maybe somebody upgraded the engine.” The group admits that they must start at square one, but insists that they will continue their efforts.



ERS faces a lawsuit for planned obsolescence. Features included in the Nuclear-Assisted Gimballed Hall-effect Thrusters were found to have no function but to regulate their functional lifespan. CEOs claim middle management looked to their own advancement with a profitable technology, while project managers insist the orders to implement the features came informally from the top. As an intermediate step, the features can be removed free of charge at any service center, and should greatly improve the lifespan of these thrusters.



Formerly considered a dangerous and unauthorized ship customization, the so-called Bald Eagle has nonetheless dominated the Ring Racing scene. To prove their design is sound, the originator of the customization manual (wishing to remain anonymous) has completed safety trials. The results describe the customized vessel as “volatile, but fundamentally sound.” Though its recognition from the dealer is an important landmark for ringracers, the dealer will not carry unauthorized design mods. Those wishing to obtain one of these vessels are encouraged by Ring Runner Racing to seek a custom ship-crafter from within their community.

• Updated the game engine to latest stable Godot Engine 3.3.2, which improves performance, enables M1 support, and fixes a number of stability-related bugs. Improvements are visible across the board, but will be most noticeable on systems using AMD or Intel GPUs and M1 CPUs.
  
• Number of performance and stability improvements.
  
• 5 more story encounters.
  
• Additional crew interactions.
  
• Fixes to the audio system, eliminating clipping and popping sounds.
  
• When returning to Enceladus, your ship will now use the reactive mass it claims to need, including the ΔV requirements for anything you hold in cargo and drone manipulators.
  
• Pods and drones attached to your ship won’t confuse autonomic autopilots anymore.
  
• Pirates won’t expose their transponders when you are talking to them anymore.
  
• Derelicts are more rare now, but you can interact with them more often.
  
• Fixed a display glitch that caused your ship to display different values depending on how you looked at it.
  
• Limited charge for ringstorm discharges, so an unlucky hit won’t fry your entire ship anymore.
  
• Pulse laser will now have all pulses visible even if your physics FPS setting exceeds your physical monitor refresh rate.
  
• Fine-tuned physics settings to avoid cargo clipping through ship hulls.
  
• You can disable adrenaline boosters now in the OMS menu.
  
• Increased durability of Nuclear Assisted Gimballed Hall Effect Thrusters.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused big asteroids to be marked as ore sometimes.
  
• Added a dealer description and specs for Bald Eagle.
  
• You can now pay individual crew salaries if overdue.
  
• Cargo Container, Mining Companion and Claim Beacon upgrade menu simulations will now show your hardware deploying.
  
• Salvage Manipulator update menu simulation is now zoomed in.
  
• Typo fixes.
