We have a new patch for Verdun and Tannenberg for you today! This will improve the save system and additional connection improvements. You might have heard of the patch to the "opentesting" branch that we did earlier this month. This required all players who wanted to test our changes to the save system, as well as improvements for the connection issues, to opt-in by switching branches.

We really wanted to be sure that there would be no longer term issues, so we are very happy that many of you switched. We received positive feedback, so today we are rolling out the changes to the main versions of Verdun and Tannenberg.


If this update works as intended, you should not notice anything. This update is meant to stop the progression loss and progression inflation (suddenly having billions of XP/level/prestige) from happening again.

If you are currently suffering from this "Billions Bug", this might revert your stats to the correct ones, but we can’t guarantee anything. If you have suffered from progression loss (data getting set to an earlier state, or nothing at all), this update will sadly not bring back your stats. We made a rigorous reimplementation of our saving and loading structure so that we hopefully never have these issues again.

In the unlikely case that there are still issues with this, your old data will stay in place for now. This means that you would still have access to your old data if we need to revert anything, so you won't lose all your data by updating.

This should mark an improvement across the board, please let us know if this is better after the update! We don't expect it to be fully solved yet, and again, we have improved our diagnostics, so if you send us your logs we will be able to track the issues more closely. Best case scenario it will make a big difference right off the bat, and otherwise it will give us more information to continue our efforts.

If any of you do experience any issues, please be sure to share your logs with us in the #techsupport channel in our Discord. These will help us address and fix the problems you might come across.

---

For everyone on the opentesting branch, thank you again for helping us make sure these changes were safe. You can stay on the opentesting branch if you want, but you will have the same version as everyone. We don't plan on keeping it in active use, unless we have something experimental to test.

Hi! Glad to present you new main character. Lili-mysterious unknown stranger. Every superhero have a hero girlfriend. But in our game Lili can fight and doesn't need protection.



I was create concept in photoshop. I try to create little and cute girl with powerfull magic skills. She can support hero with boost his skills and give him some special potions.

And another character - Sara. She walk around dungeon to find some hidden treasures.



For a fee, she will share her findings with the hero.

This is an ever-evolving game and this update has some significant additions and changes. Many of which are to support the upcoming CAVERNS OF GRIMLOCK expansion world. But these changes also affect the base game.

A significant change that should lead to better performance is the game's default rate of 60 frames per second has been lowered to 30. On a game such as Infinite Dungeon Crawler, 60 fps is just overkill and taxing the system. Switching to 30 should free up system resources and reduce memory and battery consumption. This rate can be controlled from SETTINGS on the GAME page via the FRAMES PER SECOND slider. Most users shouldn't see any noticeable difference in gameplay at the lower setting, but you can turn it back up to 60 if you desire (or even lower it more if your device has limited resources).

I added two new monsters: KOBOLDS and the RUST MONSTER. These creatures will appear in most worlds. Kobolds are small canine/lizard-types of creatures. They're so cute you'll almost feel guilty for attacking them and taking their loot. Almost. While not overly tough, they are sneaky and love to set hidden traps and then pounce on players when they trip them. Many of them also wield slings to hurl rocks at you. The Rust Monster is the bane of anyone wearing metal armors. They have an ability to severely damage them with their tail and then consume the rust that falls off onto the floor.

A significant change is that many wooden objects, such as tables, spider webs, crates, dead trees, etc. can now be burned by wielding a torch in either hand or with a fire-based ability or weapon. Merely attempt to move to the same grid square while wielding a torch or fire-based weapon and one of the buttons will change to a torch icon. Click this to burn the object. For fire-based abilities, just use the ability as you normally would and target the object. Note that this can destroy the contents of wooden containers, such as crates, so be careful with it --- especially when aiming fire-based abilities in combat. Some wooden objects are still too strong to burn, such as chests, doors, or live trees.

You can also smash some objects, most notably stalagmites (useful in the upcoming cave world but also very useful in The Abysmal Furnaces), crates, furniture, etc. so that you can move past them. In order to smash something, you must be wielding a hammer, a mace, or an axe (either one or two-handed). Swords, staffs, bows, wands, etc. won't work. To smash an object, move next to it and use a physical ability such as POWER ATTACK (but others like CHARGE OF FAITH work as well) and target the offending object. Note that smashing a container will destroy its contents. So you also need to be careful when attacking creatures that occupy the same grid square as a miss will end up hitting and smashing the object. But only with an ability attack --- not with a regular melee attack.

There is much more monster cross-over between worlds now (when appropriate). For example, previously you could only encounter Gnolls in The Infernal Dungeons. Now, if you have that DLC, you may encounter them in other worlds such as The Hidden Realm or The Frozen Expanse. However, you're not going to find a Frost Giant in The Abysmal Furnaces.

The PANIC status effect can now cause a player or creature to drop their weapon. If it happens, they will then have to expend turns (once they're no longer panicked) picking up and equipping the weapon.

Many abilities can now be used outside of combat. Some of these can have beneficial effects (such as smashing or burning objects in your way).

Shorter creatures now do not block line-of-sight. This means that you can shoot over something like a wolf. And spiders can now walk across webs. Also, many objects such as bone, rock and dirt piles now no longer block the grid square they are in so you can move through that square.

I fixed an issue with some oversized creatures not properly lining up in the grid square that they were in, which could make targeting them difficult. An example of this was the Spider Queen.

There are many other smaller changes and fixes. To see the complete list, go to https://www.infinitedungeoncrawler.com/release-notes/

One last note: Steam is good about automatically updating game content, but if you ever see an update notice and your build # (down in the lower-left corner of most screens) doesn't match, check your settings for the game in Steam and make sure updates are turned on. One trick I've found to force it to update is to go to the game listing, then MANAGE, then GAME PROPERTIES. Under LOCAL FILES click on the button for VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES... I've found that that will force the update to the latest.

Dear players, everyone:

You can learn more about the dedicated team that continues to support Original War here.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first of our quarterly updates for Puzzle Compound. Currently we are aiming to release the full game with five maps sometime Spring 2023. Between working on the new maps, our goal is to add various quality of life and polish updates which will be added to the demo once every quarter, starting with today!

Let’s get on to what changes we’ve made as of this update.



We have redesigned the look of the mansion map. While the puzzles and overall layout remain the same, the walls and floors have better coloring and textures and there is actual lighting throughout the map. This was done in order to closer match the quality of the other maps we’ve been working on.





The hint system has been completely overhauled. Now hints will be available to you regardless of your proximity to the puzzle, and each puzzle has a series of hints which get more and more specific. There’s also a reminder about hints if you haven’t solved a puzzle in 8 minutes. If players find a particular puzzle too confusing or challenging, continuing to press the hint button after all hints have been displayed will automatically solve the next puzzle. Hints can also be accessed by the pause menu.




Some items need to be placed in specific locations to solve puzzles, and to make the process easier, we have created a system where items will be snapped to their particular location if you are pointing near where the items need to be.

• Objects that you can interact with now have a slight glow to make sure they are visible in low light environments.
  
• We have added a feedback form to the game which is accessed after completing the demo map or by the main menu. Any feedback, either positive or negative, will be very helpful in making the game as good as it can be!
  
• Additional character models were added for players on the mansion experience map.
  
• Additional sound effects have been added to the game.

Our goal is to release another update to Puzzle Compound in the Summer with some additional quality of life and polish updates, including a ping system that will allow players to point out something in game that they want another player to pay attention to.


As of this post, we have fully completed our second map in the game, the Castle Experience, and are finishing up polishing the third map, the Heist Experience, following some playtests with friends. While these won’t be available in the demo and will only be a part of the full game when it is released, we hope you look forward to seeing more of them when we start to show more of them off in the future.





In an effort to try to gain at least 1000 wishlists by the time we release, we hope to start releasing more content on our YouTube channel and Twitter account to show off puzzles, new features, and how we developed parts of the game. If you’re interested in getting a sneak peak of some of the things we’re working on, we recommend you give our YouTube channel or Twitter account a follow!
