Welcome to Week VI players. I was pleased with last weeks entries, but let's get back work.
I am The Collector, a scholar, a learner. I wish to continue my studies, and I believe you can help with that. I possess what's left of my family's fortune and I'm willing to compensate weekly the player that stands out the most.

At the end of each week expect a prize.

At the end of each month, expect one larger...

As time passes I will reveal a piece of my story. It is one shrouded with mystery..

Weekly Story Update:



Matarika and The Collector have been working hard to re-tell the riveting story of how he came to be the wise and masterful warrior he Is today. Unfortunately the weekly videos haven’t been rising the quality and standards we’ve set for ourself. To ensure this
story gets told right, we’ve decided to release a full comic issue of The Collector’s story!

The Comic will release November 1st 2022! Stay tuned!

Empire Chronicles (Version 0.8.031) - Minor Update

• Fixed opacity of some of the lights in Ashlan.

As a general feedback it looked to me that the idea of the "Start Tutorial Zone" has changed the playability of the game. As a reason of this I have decided to roll out the same changes on Misery House.

Version updates in V0.1f:
- V0.1e updates are rolled out on Misery House
- Misery House is now unlocked and free to choose in the lobby
EXTRA:
- the hiding mechanism got adjusted, even if the Psycho has a line of sight at you, you can still use the hiding places
- moving during hiding no longer makes you visible

Version updates / fixes in V0.1e:
- the start area is now replaced with a "tutorial area" where you can find explanations of the different icons and more importantly, it is described how and where to hide from the psycho
- the psycho runs slower and damages a lot less giving you more chances to stay in one piece
- the level size is greatly reduced (down to 60%)
- hiding places now have floating icons above them to spot them easier
- the child appears on the minimap
- the child damages a lot less
- psycho will not be going to the entry point of the first zone
- score uploading was not working, only in case of death
- jumpscare camera shake roughness is greately reduced
- jumpscsare camera shake length increased by 40%
- players cannot see themselves anymore
- psycho is not able to damage you once it is dead
- batteries are removed, flashlight will work properly for a lot longer
- character's spawn rotation fixed

...

and a few more tiny changes.

The expansion page is now live.
We are very much looking forward to celebrating Halloween with you. The expansion is almost complete, and the October 25 release date is just around the corner. Now that the expansion is just around the corner, we have time to prepare our costumes and get ready to celebrate Halloween.


In these videos we show how the game level creation is progressing.

A ring of sorcery was forged for Agmar, the father of King Arlon. This ring hides many secrets inside, but it corrupts its wielder. Coveted by the kings and queens of the Three Kingdoms, you have been tasked, as a hero of known prestige, to take it to the dwarven forge of Thai-Fandir, in the Impassable Mountains, where it was forged, and the only place where it can be destroyed.

Most of the new features have come from feedback from two players: Almarod and Wolvie. Thanks friends!. Wolvie was the first player I know of who managed to discover all the endings of all the stories, with a Bard-Sorceress-Warrior equipped with the +3 legendary spear, the Glacial Blast spell and a very heavy armour. The greatest heroine ever seen in the history of the Three Kingdoms! Thanks for everything, Wolvie.

This update for the game is the biggest update ever made to HB&P. It not only adds a new adventure, but also introduces a new mechanic: 'Mining', the ability to play in windowed mode, and the biggest list of improvements, additions and fixes yet.
