Last Epoch - Hackalöken

Dungeons

Likely fixed a bug that caused players to be unable to enter the Boss Room of Dungeons.
We have spent many hours confirming this fix so we’re pretty confident it’s resolved but aren’t totally certain since the bug didn’t happen 100% of the time. Please let us know if this bug still happens for you after updating.
Fixed a bug where you could enter a Dungeon without consuming a key in some situations.

Monolith of Fate

Fixed a bug where echoes could fail to spawn enemies, including bosses or quest objectives, if Ring of Shields was active while loading the echo.
Emperor of Corpses' Soul Bomb now deals less damage the further you are from the center of the ability.
Fixed a bug where monolith modifiers could be duplicated. If a timeline had an impossibly high number of mods, those duplicated mods will be removed the next time you enter an echo in that timeline.

Gameplay

Fixed a bug where using traversal skills while you had certain other skills on your bar (including Summon Skeletal Mage) caused a stutter to build up with each use, resulting in a game freeze after enough uses.

Notes

Thank you all for continuing to report bugs and engage in the community. As you’ve probably heard, we’re gearing up for our next content release on May 25th, so we’re shifting focus towards finishing that update.

We are still working on bug fixes in the background as well, but they’re likely to be included in the 0.9.1 content update rather than a hotfix to 0.9. But, we can still make hotfixes if necessary.

One bug we’ve recently become aware of is if you delete an Offline Character Found character and then load or make another character, progress will not be saved. If you restart the game after deleting the Offline Character Found character saving will work properly. We’re working on a solution for this.

Occupy Mars Today!

Occupy Mars: The Game - Pyramid Games

Martians! The day has come!

Occupy Mars: The Game is now available for all of you to play in Early Access! See the Launch Trailer:

It's truly indescribable how amazing it feels to finally reach this day of launch after years of hard work! This incredible journey began more than 10 years ago when we conceived the idea for this game during our time at university.

The development of the game itself started in 2017, and now we have reached the significant milestone of Early Access Launch. Our dream game has reached a point where we are thrilled to share it with you!

This is just the beginning of a much longer journey, as we have an ambitious roadmap ahead of us.

But for now, let's focus on playing!

For those diving right into the game - please keep in mind that the following known issues in the current build v0.119.1:
- loading abandoned bases - procedural outposts can sometimes relocate after loading the game
- saving the game when rover is on crusher can in some cases block rover
- ATV sometimes doesn't spawn next to the abandoned base but further away
- tornado/dust devils can pull the player from abandoned base and throw them away with high speed
- repairing boards one after another can block workbench
- soldering tool and hot-air tool can disappear from workbench
- player can die when building rover and standing too close to the ghost
- cables can hang in the air and block interactions
- tutorial 6 can be blocked if player replants tree seedlings to crate before receiving instruction to do so
- there may be gaps in the terrain at the borders of the map squares
- There may be FPS drops while riding ATV/ROVER
- loot may spawn under the terrain or inside walls/floors
- player can be able to equip 2 tools at once and block interactions
- weather effects may last after the icon on hud disappears
- ATV crates content is not saved
- saving game manually when there is space sign at the end of save's name blocks saving the game
- after longer gameplay random textures may be spawn on random models or not spawn at all

Minor or less frequent issues and edge cases:
- the surface of frozen lake can spawn over the ground
- there are several rare issues which can randomly block saving the game
- ghost of rover can be built only in specific places
- saving the game after placing ghost of workbench but before building it may be impossible
- leaving the base while printer works freezes printer indefinitely.
- aiming while using jackhammer&grinder can be sometimes difficult
- upgrading jackhammer to level 3 without unlocked technology is possible but can break the game
- player can duplicate boards on workbench but doing so can block facility.
- boards may have full HP while having broken parts on workbench
- saving and loading the game after upgrading tool but before taking it from workbench duplicates the tool but can break the game
- FPP camera while driving on ATV can go inside players head on some angles
- charging suit from battery/transformer may sometimes not work
- tipper dislodged from trailer by meteor can be impossible to reattach
- after loading save from campaign, there are pipes and cables in ambulatory
- some sounds may not be properly adjusted
- the list of backers in credits is bigger than text field can handle so it's cut - will be fixed in an update

This is a big game and those issues are generally rare, we just wanted to make sure you know.

We are focusing on solving all of those issues as well as adding more content.

We are planning regular updates. Next one will be live tomorrow, and the next the day after tomorrow ːsteamhappyː

Remember that you can press F4 during the game to post Feedback directly to us.

See you on Mars!

Character Profile: Anwen - Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition - DigitalHamster22

Greetings Mighty Heroes,

Let's take a closer look at Anwen and the Sylvan Faction today!

As mentioned in our World & Characters blogpost, Anwen is an elven hero from the magical Irollan forest. She is a ranger who is extremely skilled with a bow.

If you aren't familiar with Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes - Definitive Edition's combat, we strongly encourage you to read our Gameplay Introduction blogpost before reading any further.

Anwen's unique spell allows her to shoot a volley of arrows at her enemy, dealing massive amounts of damage to three selected enemy columns and the enemy's HP bar!

These units have the fastest charging time (from one to three turns) but deal the lowest damage. Sylvan Core Units are the following:

Hunters
These units shoot warding arrows only after a single turn, making them perfect for quickly getting rid of Elite or Champion Units before they start charging their dangerous attacks.

Bears
These units run toward the enemy and maul them after two turns. Their attack is the strongest out of all Sylvan Core Units and they are slightly more sturdy than other Core Units when idle (not charging an attack).

Pixies
These units launch a magical burst of pixie dust after two turns. The attack's damage is scaled off the hero's current spell meter level. This makes pixies either very weak or very strong depending on your spell meter management. In fact, when the spell meter is over halfway full, their attack becomes the strongest of all Core Units.

These units deal more damage than Core Units but take up more space on the battlefield, making them trickier to activate. Sylvan Elite Units are the following:

Druids
These units cast a magical vine spell after two turns that increases the charging time of any enemy formation it hits by two turns. Incredibly useful to stall a Champion Unit's devastating attack.

Deers
These units charge at enemy lines jumping over one row of enemy walls after three turns. A useful unit that disregards enemy defenses and deals the most damage out of all Sylvan Elite Units.

Unicorns
These units protect themselves and surrounding columns with a defensive aura while charging their attack. They deal the lowest damage out of all Sylvan Elite Units but can be an invaluable resource against aggressive opponents.

These units are undoubtedly the most important of your army as they deal the most damage over a large area. However, they are even larger than Elite Units and require more Core Units to activate their attack, which takes longer to charge as well. Sylvan Champion Units are the following:

Treants
These units sprout huge roots across the battlefield. If it manages to hit the enemy hero's HP bar, the vines will stay on the battlefield and drain health from the enemy at every turn.
They deal the most damage out of all Sylvan Champion Units but take the longest to charge (five turns)

Emerald Dragons
These units spray a jet of acid that remains on the battlefield for one turn and damages any enemy that touches it. A very useful unit to disrupt enemy positioning.

Sylvan walls have the unique ability to regenerate themselves for 2 HP after each turn. A useful ability that will save you from spending your limited moves constantly rebuilding walls!

That's all for Anwen and the Sylvan Faction for now, but don't forget that there are many ways to fight with this character! You can customize your playstyle by choosing specific units, but also by choosing the right Artifact (we will talk about these later on in our advanced gameplay blogpost!).
