Hi, Foxies!

I’ve been posting FoxTail mythology on my Patreon page and Discord server and haven’t written anything personal in a long time. But I want you to know that I can feel your support and that I am very thankful to you for it.

As you know, the war in our country is not over yet, but we are keeping our spirits high, trying to do everything we can and help each other and our army.

I’d also like to share with you my impressions of the transfer of the game to the new engine. The Power Quest toolkit that we use is very handy and fast, the locations are assembled in minutes! Unfortunately, there are difficulties, too. For example, we have to add almost all the text manually, because Power Quest has its own requirements and they are vastly different from the ones that we had in Wintermute. But it is compensated in the other stages, so everything is handy and fast.

For everyone who is concerned by the game’s quality and fears that it will lose its pixel charm, I’d like to point out that everything is great. Power Quest is a pixel-perfect toolkit, so everything will look and work the same as before in the updated version. This was one of the most important criteria for us in choosing the engine. But, of course, we don’t neglect the new opportunities that are available for us with the Unity engine and Power Quest toolkit.

By the way, as we found out, the Power Quest developer turned out to be a FoxTail fan. He played the game with his son and they are waiting for the story to continue. So he offered to modify the toolkit to meet our needs. I think you realize how helpful and cool that is when you have a direct link with the developer of the toolkit.

So, the work is in full swing even if we don’t talk about it much. Thank you for your support. Everything will be great.

This update mainly reduces the difficulty of the beginning of hell mode, so that friends who choose this difficulty can get started faster. At the same time, according to the suggestions of friends in the group, some settings have been modified, and some cumbersome operations have been simplified again. I hope you have a better time!



The updated content is as follows:

1. Fix the problem that the green button of the achievement hall in Chapter 2 cannot be pressed.



2. The failure of cute pet battle in each chapter is changed to not game over.



3. [real dragon sword] is changed to [real dragon defense sword], and the basic attribute is modified:

Material attack +12 changed to material attack +25

Increase defense attribute: physical defense +10



4. [magnetic storm gun] basic attribute modification:

Material attack +38 changed to material attack +48



5. [sword of overlord] basic attribute modification:

Material attack 27 changed to material attack +67

Magic attack +2 changed to magic attack +58



6. Novice teaching and additional content, adding NPC explanations on how to obtain gemstones, how to equip them, and how to inlay them.



7. Hell difficulty upgrade experience Dan will not be recycled if it has been changed to the previous chapter, so as to facilitate the opening of the next chapter to quickly cross the famine period, and other difficulties will not be recycled.



8. In Chapter 3, the Guard commander of the first battle will reduce his HP by 70%.



9. Reduce the number of enemies near wonderful Village (grassland area) at the beginning of the game, and change it to a battle with at most 2 monsters.



10. Improve various details of the game, such as modifying the dialog of the soldiers at mung bean's home, which will prompt more basic game operations and suggestions for opening up wasteland.



11. The character loading and downloading tools (large and small ships, airships, etc.) will maintain the previous moving speed, eliminating the tedious of repeatedly using Shenxing shoes.



12. The function of opening gem vouchers has been improved. Now you can choose to open five, ten, twenty or thirty at a time. Reduce player operations.

Howdy, necromancers!

Firstly, thank you very much for your patience, for staying with us and for your support. We read all the feedback, your reviews are very inspiring 💙

Secondly, watching you play, we are quite impressed with how many skilled players there are among you. Some manage to hold out against enemies for more than an hour and even longer! However, the intended design and gameplay loop of our game does not provide for such long sessions – it’s simply not possible to save a game in the middle of a run.

We have repeatedly witnessed how players get tired of a long session and eventually just stop defending the tower in order to finish the game. Or said the game was too easy after several long runs with micro-controlling each unit, going to the main menu room only a couple of times, but buying a dozen upgrades at once. Or they said the game was too hard after a few long runs, but with no upgrades or control. In the end, it came down to the inability to predict the time of the game session – a problem that we wanted to address from the very beginning.

With Update 1.2, we are introducing a new system of timers, at the end of which your tower will be visited by powerful enemies. They’ll return you to the menu room, or they will be mercilessly destroyed by you – it is more than possible to defeat them (think of death in Vampire Survivors). It all depends on your upgrades and tactics!



For the best gameplay experience, we recommend starting with a new profile. Don’t worry, all previous saves are not wiped and remain with you! The latest version of the game is 1.2.0.255 now.

List of changes:

• Added new mechanics of spawners appearing from underground and a timer for such events
  
• Added 3 new achievements for destroying the aforementioned spawners
  
• Added French language support
  
• Added German language support
  
• Added Japanese language support
  
• Added Polish language support
  
• Added Korean language support
  
• Added Brazilian Portuguese language support
  
• Reworked fonts to fix rare display issues
  
• Fixed the saw animation – before that it played 1 second longer than the damage was dealt
  
• Other minor fixes

In addition, by player's demand, we're releasing the Necrosmith original soundtrack! It contains 5 tracks, so we set the lowest price that Steam gave us to choose. Get it only if you want to support us!

Decided to give Axes some control against ranged targets. The penalty has been added so that in melee and multi-target combat this ability must be used with caution.- Axes. New ability "Raging Throw". Throw an ax that stuns the target on impact and causes bleeding. After the throw, your defense is halved for a few seconds.
- Anathema axe. Increased the duration of the Bleed effect at levels 3 and 4.
We add for the Healer the ability to save from death. However, we want to make it more interesting than the usual resurrection of the dead.
