Earth's Shadow Releases into Early Access Today! After nearly 2 years of development Earth's Shadow is now available for sale on Steam with a 10% launch discount.

Hope everyone enjoys the game.

This update adds quite a bit to the game from further customisation options, leaderboards to changes to the player hit logic.

First we have a brand new theme players can select. This theme was created for one of our steamer partners over on Trovo, I_AM_DOMINATOR. The theme is a mix of greens and purples and works best when a purple HyperFlux highway is used.



Additional features include themes now having the ability to swap out UI elements and said UI elements can now be dragged around on your screen to new positions. You can also now change the highway length and bump up the highway speed to 100!



The game's hit logic has received an upgrade with combo recovery being easier than ever before! The infinite frontend cheat can also be used freely with scores now having full score saving. For the more competitive players, you can view additional stats on the results by pressing blue and see how accurate your hit timings were.

Did you play with the Pro FC Mode and had a really hard time? The brutality of the mode has been reduced with the following changes:
Hit window 80ms -> 100ms | FAS 30ms -> 37.5ms | SAH 53.3ms -> 66.6ms

We're not on Steam for nothing. You can now earn Steam achievements and upload scores to the Steam leaderboards. Leaderboards can be viewed by pressing orange on a song. You can also view them directly on your Steam profile in the game's stats.


Finally we have all sorts of bug fixes and adjustments made to the game that will improve your gameplay experience. As usual, if you spot a bug, report it to our Discord server or contact us on our website.

When his friend Bolthorn stole the Scarab Bracelet from the desert kingdom, Neferkha knew what would happen next. He left his homeland to chase the Raider, following the relic’s trail of waste and death to its heart in Valkenheim. There Neferkha found Bolthorn, a cursed shell of his former self. An epic battle ensued – with Neferkha ultimately besting his friend. Rather than killing the Viking, Neferkha spared his life and removed the Bracelet to lift the curse. Having witnessed the relic’s destruction, Neferkha had realized the jewel belonged to a different time and place; it was simply to dangerous, even for himself, the last heir of the Pharaohs. The Medjay left Valkenheim so it might begin to heal. He became a mercenary to buy his way back home, where he would return the Bracelet to its resting place.

• Difficulty: Hard
  
• Weapon Transform
  
• Dual Fighting Styles
  
• Good Melee Range in Staff Mode

Special Capabilities

• Unique dual utility feats
  
• Unstoppable infinite chain in Staff mode
  
• High aggression and speed in Axes mode
  
• Stays in current mode when hit, unlike other multi-mode heroes

Match End Flow

• All screens shown after completing a match have been redesigned for improved legibility, clearer progression information, and with less disruptive animations so it is quicker to reach the options for the next match.

NEW OPTION: Deactivate the Parry Flash Indicator (in Arena, and all Custom Match Game Modes)

• Players can now deactivate the Parry Flash Indicator, which usually flashes at the correct timing to Parry an attack, in the Arena as well as during Custom Games.
  
• This option appears in the Arena under “Arena -> Arena Settings -> Parry Flash Indicator”, and in the Custom Game Match under “Custom Game -> Game Mode -> Parry Flash Indicator”

Developer's Comment: Competitive players in the Dominion Series have been requesting this option for some time. Adding this option is meant to reduce the efficiency of players who have exceptional reaction times and to limit certain kinds of cheats.

We specifically add this as an Option only in Custom Games and Arena so that competitive play can intentionally remove the parry flash to improve the level of offense in their games.

Normal matchmaking games continue to have the Parry Flash to help players learn the sense of timing to Parry attacks.

Out Of Stamina (OOS) State is now less punishing

• Stamina Pause no longer applies on players who are Out of Stamina
  
• Stamina is now fully refilled when getting up from the Unbalanced state

Developer's Comment: Previously, players in the OOS could conceivably be forced to stay in that state until killed. If your opponent had a quick Dodge Forward Bash attack, they could continually bash you to keep your stamina from ever refilling, while slowly killing you and limiting your options. By removing Stamina Pause while OOS, you should be able to get out of OOS more reliably, which should be less frustrating.

Similarly, we’ve now given back full Stamina whenever you get up from the Unbalanced state. The intent is that if you’ve been unbalanced, the opponent should have a single good opportunity for a punish, but not more than one. Out of Stamina punishes are typically the highest damaging punishes available – while we want players to have an opportunity for a big punish when their opponent overextends, the reward could be larger than intended when the opponent remained Out of Stamina and could be unbalanced for another large punish. This change should address this concern and make becoming Out of Stamina less frustrating.

Improvement to Targetable Feats thrown at a Locked target who is Dodging or has the Stealth feat active

• Targetable Feats are no longer affected by Stealth and should correctly track opponents who have the Stealth feat active
  
• Targetable Feats now track Dodging opponents better, especially Grenade-type feats, which could be thrown off-target by a large amount.

Developer's Comment: We’re changing how Targetable Feats interact with Stealth and Dodging opponents to make the feats more consistent.

When an opponent had Stealth active, Targetable Feats would miss at moments where they did not feel like they should (ie. Your opponent was walking sideways). This makes the Feats more consistent in their tracking of Stealth opponents and no longer have Stealth be a hard counter to Targetable Feats.

Similarly, some Targetable feats, such as Grenade-type feats, had a tracking issue when used against a Dodging opponent, where they would land in unexpected locations. With this change, they should land as expected at the opponent even if they Dodge.

Targetable Feats are still able to be Dodged, but the result of the feats should be more consistent with the anticipated behavior.
