Here we are!
My Escort Company is now available in version 1.0! It wouldn't be possible without the amazing support from the (18+) community and our Patrons! You have been many to send us feedback since the version 0.1 six months ago on the Steam community but also on Discord!

Some of you even joined the Lewd Tribe on Patreon to shape the game and see all the behind the scene, unreleased elements & pictures we made for the game but decided to not include.
They also voted for the girls that would be released during the EA.
They made us switch the gameplay from "turn based" to "real time" which is way more fun and active than the previous one.
During the making we also made a vote in our community about the DONATOR DLC, which was providing, in our other games, exclusive content and features for Patrons. They voted "no" about it so we don't made one for the game and everything is available to everyone.


To reward this "high level" community we are organizing a merchandising giveaway on Patreon for them with a 3D mouse pad featuring the escorts girls of MEC! There are two to win, one on Jul3D community and another one on NSFW18 Games community.

The content was almost fully unlocked since last release but now Kimmy is also available!

What's New (v1.0):
- New content - ALL Kimmy's content is now available in the Gallery and you can unlock it like every other girl! Remember that Kimmy is the real 18+ model KimmySun and you can discover all her content here: https://twitter.com/kkimkkimmy

- Improvement - Since Kimmy is your councelor, she can't be used as an escort girl but she is part of your company so she will now appear from the start in the company view but also in the intro group picture like any other unlocked girl!

- Improvement - Gifts! I improved the system and you have now new warnings if there is no content unlockable at the moment!

- Bugs : I fixed a lot of issues/weird behaviors in the Gift panel when you were trying to open a lot of gift at the same time (10+) or if there was not enough content to unlock with all stars you may have. it was causing bugs and making sometimes the stars to disapear.
Example: you have 50 stars but there are only 2 content available with your current girls, it was using your 50 stars (10 gifts) to unlock the 2 and nothing else. Now you will have a limite of 2 gifts even if you have more because there is no other content to unlock.

- Bugs: Video audio was not looping and wasn't controled by the Voice Volume. Fixed.

- Bug: XP text ("25/30") was disapearing after reaching level 7. Fixed.

- Bug: Some texts were black on dark color. Fixed.

- Bug: Blowjob video audio wasn't synch after first loop (silence in the track). Fixed.

- Bug: Black overlap in the welcome screen with Kimmy. Fixed.

- Bug: "Next" & "Previous" buttons in the Gallery were displayed weirdly. Fixed.

Not Related, the Steam page is now available in 6 languages.

_____________________________


Thanks for your corporation to find problems with the game.
We added an update to the beta branch. This update will address three issues, if you affected by either issue, we recommend you to read the paragraphs carefully.

_____________________________


All the crash dumps we got were very helpful in finding the point where it crashes and the good news is: that one is on us, so something that we can fix! But this requires some deeper changes. Anyone affected by this is prompted to switch to the beta branch and play again. We hope you won't run into more issues.
Please let us know in the comments below this news if the patch actually helped you (positive feedback is important, the same as negative is)

If you still keep getting crashes - Please send us following data:
- Crash Dumps -> %AppData%\HallsOfTorment\crashes
- Log Files -> %AppData%\HallsOfTorment\logs
- Save Files -> ..Steam\userdata\<yoursteamid>\2218750\remote

Send all files to support@chasing-carrots.com

%AppData% can be entered in windows in the address bar.
It should bring you here: C:\Users\<windows_user>\AppData\Roaming

_____________________________


We addressed one issue, but we are unsure if this will do anything. We need affected players that can't start the game at all to switch to the beta branch and test if that one works. If it works, please leave a comment below.
If it does not work, please do following for us.

- Open your task manager
- Switch to "Details"
- Right-click "Godot"
- Select "Create dump file"

This file might get a bit bigger, you can zip it and upload somewhere.
Please send us this file to our support: support@chasing-carrots.com

_____________________________


There are some quirks left and it might be some issue with the cloud save.

Please try following:
- Disable cloud saves from the properties
- Switch to the beta branch
- Start the beta branch game
- Check your quests on the quest board
- Restart Halls of Torment
- Make sure all unlocks (characters etc.) are there
- Close the game
- Enable cloud saves again

Following above's steps should ensure that most progress should be back and saved.
It may however be, that some quests in progress lost part of their progress.
This will also recover all quests where you got the achievements already.
Please let us know whether this works for you or not.

Our latest game is finally available on Steam Early Access.

Our goal is to create an exciting experience for veterans of card games/rogue-lite games and new players alike.
With that in mind, the most important factor for us is to have plenty of feedback to work with!
The Early Access stage will be the best occasion to refine Shattered Heaven supported by our community.
We wanted to remind you that throughout the next months, many content updates will be released and this is just the beginning of a cooperative journey.

Thank you for diving into Shattered Heaven's world and enjoy this unique adventure.
