Dear Users,

We would like to thank everyone's support towards "Castle of Shikigami 2."

We hope you are enjoying it so far. We have just released the latest version 1.0.14, which includes bug fixes reported by the players!

A few problems did stand out, and have now been fixed:

• Fixed a bug where previously saved rankings are displayed first when switching the language setting to English.
  
• Fixed a bug in which the difficulty level you switched to is displayed on the Normal page when you reenter the leaderboard after switching the difficulty level display.
  
• Fixed a bug in NEW ENTRY MODE 2P leaderboard registration.

We are keen to provide the best "Castle of Shikigami 2" to you, so if you have any other feedback, please let us know.

Cheers,

Degica Games team

Fix the issue where in some cases the Champion will die but not disappear and drop loot after finishing the final sigil.

This patch adds the following:
- Fires and relevant related mechanics like fighting fires, damage, fires spreading, when buildings houses the menu will now should building strength and flammability, etc.
- Thunder storms with lightning which can cause fires.
- A new enemy, bloaters, which explode upon death and release a poisionus cloud.
- 12 new researchables, including: 3 levels of improved mining, 3 levels or improved wood chopping, 3 levels of improved carrying, 2 levels of improved fire fighting and braziers.
- Braziers which gives heat to nearby villagers, and fire arrows to archers on the same tile.
- Villagers portraits are now updated when they are dead and decaying.

It fixes/changes the follow:
- Events will be balanced. The game will keep track of what kind of events has happened to the player and what kind of visits have occured. So the changes of only having negative events or going years without a trader visiting will decrease dramtically.
- Event-banners (the small flags at the top of the screen) are now clickable and will the camera will zoom to relevant objects, like bandits, undead, visitors or fires in the area.
- The cause of death will now be included in the villager-perished-message.
- When falling on stairs-tiles villager will not fall all the way down, instead they will land on the stairs right below.
- Research is in general slower, but villagers skill will be more important.
- The main pathfinding has been improved and villagers should be better at finding the most efficient way.
- Indoor stairs have been moved from the furniture menu to the stairs menu, which makes more sense.

Straight up bug-fixes:
- Removes two crashes related to trading.
- Fixes a freeze-loop related to people fleeing the area.
- Armor stats are updated right away when unequipping gear.
- When starting in cold areas villagers spawned with either hats or shoulder pelt, which when dropped revealed to be not one but insanley many, like > 10000 sometimes. This has been fixed and "infected" characters or drops will be fixed when loading the game.
- New patches of grass were not always saved, they will be now.
- Fixes some items not being hauled.

I think that was it but I probably forgot to mention something =) This is the biggest patch so far, so I really hope it runs smoothly, but I will be very ready for a hot fix! I know there are many improvements needed and things to smooth out, and I am working my best at fixing them while also providing new content.

As always: Your feedback means the world to me and your bug reports really helps me improve the game! I am truly grateful and I apologize for all the bugs and inconviences! Thank you for your patience.

If you like this game, please leave a review and recommend it to your friends!
Best wishes and lots of love//Mattias

PS: The holidays are coming up and like many of you I will spend some time with family and friend and work less. In case you don't hear from me until then: Merry christmas! <3

PPS: One little things bothered me so I made some minor changes and uploaded a new version.
- Villagers out on strolls sometimes kept slamming doors, and going back and forth, so I fixed that.

A new update for A Hat in Time - Vanessa's Curse is now available!

• Mods have been re-enabled! Note that some mods are incompatible with Vanessa's Curse, and you will receive a message if attempting to enter with an incompatible mod.
  
• Reduced stutter during loading screens
  
• Adjusted crown requirement to balance out low vs high player kiddo win rate.
  
• Added localization support.
  
• The losing team decider for Roulette Event now also considers crown collected as a win/lose condition.
  
• Improved a few bonk slide collisions.
  
• Reworked crypt level design and how players can enter it.
  
• "30s left" music now also plays if you are the last kiddo alive, better run!

The air is crisp, Adventurers are contesting the Yuletide Challenge, and festive decorations adorn Albion's cities. It all points to one thing: Uncle Frost is back!

This strange, bearded figure has a chance to appear at the end of any T4+ Solo or Group Randomized Dungeon across all factions and zones between now and December 30 - just look for Christmas trees as you approach the end of a dungeon. If you manage to find and defeat him, you can unlock the final chest for a chance at special Yule-themed items including snowballs and the rare Yule Stag mount skin!

Uncle Frost has a benevolent side as well, of course, so to mark his arrival and celebrate the festive season, he’s sent fireworks and snowballs to all players! To claim them, just log into the game before December 30 at 10:00 UTC. There you’ll find an in-game mail containing snowballs and three colors of fireworks, available to all characters who have completed the tutorial.



So grab your gifts, head out into the streets and join in the festive spirit with a snowball fight or a spectacular light show. Uncle Frost would be delighted!

The Tower Offender Demo is finally available.

It is only an early prototype of the game and is far from finished, but it should at least give players an idea of what they can expect. We plan to add many more levels and features in the coming months, but the basic idea behind the game is this.

Jump around. Plan your attack. Jump some more and make adjustments as required.

More updates coming in the New Year. We are excited and hope you are too!

We're delighted to wrap up our first ever Android Beta this week!

For the past couple of weeks, a select group of players have been testing our enhanced client features on their Android devices. We wanted to run a Closed Beta to acquire some valuable player feedback before the app enters Open Beta in January 2022.

Today, we'd love to share what we've learned, and look at what's coming next. We've also got an approximate date for our next iOS Beta event, so read on for more!


With the help of 2,185 active testers in the Beta, we have successfully identified and confirmed approximately 47 new bugs that we hadn't caught in our initial testing. We've been closely monitoring the feedback coming through via Discord, and we have to say - we're so impressed with the level of detail and feedback we've received!

We can't express just how useful this information is, so we'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who was involved.

Issues relating to crashing or freezing (those that might require a player to relog or restart the application) are being prioritised, with a view to having them fixed before our Open Android Beta in January.

Another major bug you pointed out was that font scaling looked pixelated on certain devices. This has also been prioritised. We can't say if we'll be able to perfect the font for every device, but we should at least be able to offer better scaling options. This is likely to be something that is further refined in the Open Beta.

Once the major bugs have been resolved, we'll be starting work on the other issues (as listed below). Some of them already have quick fixes prepared, while others will require more investigation. We of course intend to address them all, but we're not yet able to date every one.

• The Agility parcourse indicators disappear when you log in and out when using the course.
  
• The UI is not making it clear when players have just one of a stackable item.
  
• The app logs a character out much faster when switching apps.
  
• Players in Friends Chat don't show up as purple dot on minimap as expected.
  
• Trees (and other general environment objects) aren't displaying correctly on the minimap.
  
• Ports/Docks are not rendering correctly on the minimap.
  
• Portrait mode is not currently officially supported by the client.

• Reports of Wilderness level not displaying for some users.
  
• Some users may experience low framerate on certain devices.
  
• The minimap zoom toggle settings are currently not available.
  
• The roof toggle does not match its stated setting (turning it off/on again upon login updates it).

Sensitive logout timer

Many users reported that the app has a<i> very</i> sensitive logout timer when users tabbed out. This is something we're investigating as a priority as we know it impacts player experience. However, there are other tech dependencies with this issue, so we don't know if it will be resolved before the Open Beta in January. Thanks for pointing it out!

---

Ground Item Markers

By far the most frequent suggestion from our testers was that they would like to see Ground Item Markers. We are planning to add this feature to the client, but it needs more work before we can release it. It will also need it to have price checking functionality so players can filter out low value items that they don't want to see. As soon as it's ready, it will be making its way to mobile!

---

Draw distance and FPS

A number of our testers noted that while the new client felt extremely smooth, the larger draw distance caused FPS drops on certain devices. The mobile client at default distance should run smoother and with more FPS than the older client, but higher frame rates can have a noticeable impact to performance on weaker devices. The issue is currently being investigated. In the long term, we'll be looking at optimising performance, but sadly there's no silver bullet to fix these problems - keep reporting them to us and we'll ensure it's followed up correctly!

---

Sidebar, XP Tracker and UI

The Sidebar and XP Tracker received a lot of positive feedback throughout the Beta, although we're aware that there were some issues with the UI overlapping with other interfaces. Players suggested that the new UI should be moveable, or that we should add new buttons to give it a generally cleaner look for mobile.

In the short term we'll be doing our best to fix any errors, and this will be prioritised for the Open Beta in January. In the long term we would like to refine the entire UI, reorganising it to suit mobile specifically. However, since we're still in the process of adding new features to the Sidebar, it doesn't make sense for us to overhaul things just yet. We'd instead like to roll out all of the new features so that we know exactly what we're working with. Once we have a view of the full picture, we can polish the UI specifically for mobile.

---

Splitscreen Mode

We're aware that splitscreen mode wasn't available in this Beta. Although there's a couple of issues with it that still need resolving, we're aiming for splitscreen to be available during the Open Beta in January.

---

Highly Requested Features: Tile Markers, Menu Entry Swapper, Boss Timers, Loot Trackers, NPC Highlights and Cannonball Counts

While we're planning to roll out the new client app in a few months' time, we're still making continuous improvements and changes to the existing client post-launch, and hopefully you'll see some of your many wonderful suggestions live in-game!

The team is currently working on Tile Markers, Loot Trackers and NPC Highlights Boss Timers, although we can't yet say exactly when these features will be rolling out. A number of players also wanted a cannonball ammunition count - this seems like something we can fit in for the Open Beta, so we will aim to do just that!

We also agree with those who said that a Menu Entry Swapper would be a great addition - especially on mobile, because it significantly impacts the portable experience. We've added it to our backlog, although we're not yet sure when we'll be able to get to work on it.

---

Further Suggestions

Our Beta testers were not short on ideas, and we still have hundreds of fantastic suggestions to ponder! We're so excited to make the client the best it can possibly be. Most of the features that have been requested have been added as part of a healthy backlog of things we can do once the priority changes are out of the way - we're talking things like push notifications for Farming, or automatic screenshot features for important milestones. These won't arrive for some time, but are certainly features we'll be working to implement with the help of our players!

---

As mentioned above, our Android Open Beta is is currently scheduled for the end of January 2022. Please note that this is an estimate, and could be subject to change if further issues arise. Provided all goes well with the Open Beta, we'd like to roll out the app officially around late February 2022.

From that point, the minimum requirement to use the Old School App on Android will be Android 8.0 (Oreo) or above.

Since we can't offer both the current client and enhanced client simultaneously, the moment will arrive when players will have to update from the existing app to a new one. We apologise to any player who cannot meet the new app requirements when the time comes.

---

Future iOS Beta Events

Many of you want to know when there will be an iOS Beta. We're delighted to confirm there will be, and that we think this will be happening around March 2022. If successful, we imagine a full iOS rollout could happen between late April or early May, depending on how many critical issues and bugs pop up in the testing process.
