This patch introduces the much requested Quicksave/Quickload system, along with cleaning up a lot of progression related bugs. Enemy flinching is now added, allowing for more combat strategies!

• Completely refactored save and trigger systems to make it far more reliable

• Fixed bug where one cassette will always unlock on end of level
  
• Fixed juttering effect when entering/exiting car, feels a lot more polished now

The Forgotten Workshop would like to take a moment to thank all the kind hearts and words reviewers and commenters have put up in respect to the game in the past week for this sale.

Your positivity and heart have made an impact. herSecretSmile was a little apprehensive about making more games in the future due to extremely slow sales and no reviews, but the recent glowing reviews and the small amount of sales we've seen have really lifted their spirits.

This may not be the end for the adventures of Gauss and Iyrgrahm but you can help herSecretSmile come to the decision to start a chapter 2 faster. There won't be a better sale this year for Coterie so spread the word! Each wishlist and each purchase (even heavily discounted) gets us both closer to the game's first $100 in revenue and boost's hSS's confidence that a second game can both succeed and be more successful if they put more time and money into it.

In any case, thank you all again for your support. The author wanted me to pass this bit along directly:


Hey there, everyone!

It has been a pleasure to hear all the wonderful things people have to say about the game. My addendum will be brief, since I'm sure my publisher's already covered a lot of what I would like to say. First: Thank you so much for your kindness! ♥

Second: While the game ends on a soft cliffhanger, I have notes about where the story might develop from there. It would be really helpful if you guys could help us spread this game even more. If we can get enough folks interested, our options for moving this story forward expand a lot. More options, more story!

Here's to a hopeful future of even more games!

Well, y'all heard them! Spread word on the game where you can; we can use all the attention we can get. The more attention, the more options open up for a future of works by hSS.

• Added a new feature: NORTH UP mode!
  
• North Up is a feature we've had requested for a while, and we are so excited to finally bring this feature to you today.
  
• Re-worked major areas of the radar to ensure stability.

• Added Horseshoe Bay, Bowen Island, and Langdale
  
• These are actual ferry service routes from Vancouver, Canada (Horseshoe Bay) to the two islands that ferries service on a daily basis.
  
• A full route map can be seen in this screenshot:

Corrections and Fixes

• The speed of carts by their carried weight was not as intended
  
• Humans could access an unconnected enemy tower
  
• Defensive ranged warriors did not pursue a target out of range when given the attack order by the player

• A message is displayed when an owned human is killed

• Added a hotkey for clicking on the message box
  
• Warriors on walls do not rally
  
• Warriors in aggressive stance do not rally when attacking an enemy who is much closer to them than the nearest rally point

Happy 4th of July everyone -

We're two weeks into our Early Access launch and I'm absolutely thrilled with the feedback and support we're getting from our wonderful player community. 58 reviews and "Very Positive" Steam rating! You've made this developer very proud, and I hope you enjoy this week's update.

This update addresses concerns players have raised regarding the tedium of (and bugs preventing) finding all the loot in the world. Certainly, we didn't intend to create a chore, but rather an incentive and reward for your exploration efforts. To that end, we've added the "Loot Finder" to the world map that will identify all the locations of lore and keys. Destroying every box/barrel is not necessary - if a map contains hidden lore, it will always be in the first object destroyed. And only minions can drop keys.

I suspect the current implementation might be a bit of an overkill (showing too much before you've actually explored the world) - but I wanted to show good faith that we are hearing your concerns and also validate that players are no longer running into bugs that prevent you from finding everything. As always, looking forward to hearing your feedback and improving :)

• New Feature: Loot Finder now shows which maps contain hidden lore and skeleton keys.
  
• Balance Fix: Units summoned by the Necromancer (or via other abilities) will now receive Sibylla’s +1/+1 benefit. Previously, the buff only applied to units she personally summoned. Units brought on the board via other means (ex: Raise Dead, Your Soul is Mine, loyal followers and guardians) will continue to not receive the buff as before as these aren’t technically summoned.
  
• Fixed bug where allies who were Mind Controlled by the enemy would flee after winning a battle instead of snapping out of it and rejoining you. (Thanks atesh)
  
• Fixed bug where damage cards increase in cost after temporarily mind controlling an Air elemental and then having it attack and be defeated by the enemy.
  
• Fixed bug where the Necromancer Staff card added last week did not allow equipped units to attack (Thanks Another Persona)
  
• Fixed bug where hurled squirrel does not land on the correct space indicated by the targeting preview. Oh, those squirrely squirrels!
  
• Fixed bug where it could become impossible to complete a lore collection because hidden lore was being cleared for two adjacent maps at the same time when standing on the edge of one map with hidden lore and destroying a container on the edge of another map containing hidden lore (Thanks mr.kitty)
  
• Fixed bug where lore collection could require more than 12 lore to be found even though only 12 lore are hidden in each world.
  
• Fixed bug where exception HM_UnitRunToPointAnimation/onDispose is thrown when hurling a squirrel at a barrel and then immediately exiting the dungeon. (Thanks El Baek)
  
• Fixed bug where enemy Summoner casting a phoenix, attacking with it, and recasting it in the same turn would throw an exception for shrinkCard.
  
• Fixed bug where transforming into a beetle (or transforming back to a human) and then using the keyboard to move character resulted in a softlock. (Thanks VladimirLedeux, Luxter, and clearfisher)
  
• Fixed bug where casting a barrage spell AOE (like blizzard or meteor shower) on a unit with redirect causes total obliteration as each meteor barrage was causing ALL of the secondary targets to take damage again. (Thanks 1012104522 and la81596961)
  
• Fixed bug where the "Goblin Birthday Wish" achievement was not rewarding the "Goblin Party!" satchel card. (Thanks mr.kitty)
  
• Fixed bug where casting Blood Sacrifice (or any mana generating spell) when you already have full mana would result in seeing a drop in mana (from the card cost) rather than a restoration to full mana. This bug affected the view only (the player still technically has the full mana, only it didn't show this reflected on the mana bar) (Thanks mr.kitty)
  
• Fixed bug where pressing "Esc" after losing a battle would generate an error and allow player to restore the game back to the point before they started the fight (Thanks Lone Sylvan)
  
• Fixed bug where after closing the game and reloading, and then looking at cards for the 1st time that session, it's always blank when opened. The 2nd time, however, it shows the cards. This bug occurred because the sort save setting for groupByType was being shared with guardianToggle. So, this error would have affected any player with the groupByType filter turned on in their sort filter (Thanks mr.kitty and BlackDragonMagician)
  
• Fixed bug where reviving after being defeated with the "Destined for Greatness" prompt that revives fallen guardians in Novice difficulty was throwing an exception at HM_TargetingLogic$/sortTargets() when the battle was located on a map that bordered the world edge.
  
• Fixed bug where exception HM_UnitRunToPointAnimation/onDispose is thrown when hurling a squirrel at a barrel and then immediately exiting the dungeon. (Thanks El Baek)
  
• Fixed bug where game would throw an exception at HM_HUDViewMap.disposeCardViews after recovering from a previous bug.
  
• Fixed bug where the ERROR EVENT: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032" errorID=2032] bug that fire when game could not connect to our game server (either due to intermittent internet connection or intermittent connection issues with our server itself).
  
• Fix for bug where exception Error #2101 is thrown when game cannot connect with server.
  
• Fix for bug where your own Summoner would drop the lore hidden in a room (Thanks noahbarker)
  
• Fix for bug where rewards dropped from destroying goblin party presents could land in the water and be unaccessible.
  
• Fixed bug where the Void Necromancer description did not include the Farshot ability keyword.
  
• Fixed bug with Chinese translation in the tortoise menu 新游戏，左边，文字错误，3“个”BOSS不是3“格”BOSS (Thanks yzj369)
  
• Fixed bug with the Traditional Chinese translation for Spirit Recall card (Thanks Kantsume)

We still need additional player info to help us resolve a bug where the game throws an exception when trying to battle after creating a custom deck in Battle mode. Please respond on this thread if you have encountered this particular issue.

I was caught by total surprise this morning on the game to find an overwhelming 400+ players viewing our live stream today on the store page. Then I discovered why: SplatterCat, a Streamer/Youtuber famous for covering indie games, released a video on Summoners Fate today which I am proud to share with you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0JyMMx6Knk&t=1764s
I think the game is really well constructed. And I think it’s a really, really good game. I think that if you are into card games, this is a very, very clean reproduction of Magic the Gathering with a little bit of tactical RPG and a little bit of roguelike randomness thrown in. And honestly, I think that’s kind of a winning proposition. Thus far, I have not seen, or felt or noticed anything that made me think this game needs improvement. By all means, continue to add to it developers. But it seems as those the game is in very, very good shape. - SplatterCat

I'm so grateful to receive such praise, thank you SplatterCat! And welcome all the new players who saw his video and have joined us here in the Multiverse.
