We welcome everyone! Our game "Son of Perun Kharkiv" will be released soon. It so happened that the Steam page appeared already after the start of the Ukraine Games Festival, which takes place from August 18 to 24 inclusive! We would like to visit there!

Well, although the game will be released on September 1st, it will continue to develop! As in the original, the reboot of which this game is, several finals are planned, which means that the branches of the finals will be present. So, good luck to you guys!

Hello fellow bartenders!

We hope this devlog finds you well, and we're excited to share the latest happenings from the dusty trails of our Saloon Simulator project. First and foremost, we'd like to thank you all for the incredible interest and enthusiasm you've shown for our game. Your support and dedication has been nothing short of inspiring. A special shout out goes to those of you who took the time to fill out our post-demo survey - your feedback was invaluable.



After releasing our playable demo at the end of June, we took a moment to catch our breath and chart the course ahead. We've had some intense discussions about the survey results, pondered the aspects you loved, and considered how to address mechanics that didn't quite hit the mark. Our talented programming team has been hard at work implementing both minor and major improvements to various mechanics. Mixing drinks and cooking now feels even more satisfying and immersive.



One of our main focuses was to improve the customization mechanics. We realized that on certain systems, customization wasn't as stable as we wanted it to be. Some options weren't accessible, and changing your salon's decor wasn't as intuitive as we wanted it to be. Our goal is to make it a breeze to customize your salon to your unique style - an enjoyable experience that lets you create something truly special.
Right now, we're deep into creating the prologue, which we hope will set the tone for the entire game. The prologue's story will be twice as long as the demo's story and will revolve around the introduction of a new character in Blueberry - Earl, a handy carpenter's assistant. In the full game, you'll rely on him to provide new furniture for your saloon. The prologue will also pick up the story threads of W and Sheriff Custer, shedding light on the mysterious past of the previous saloon owner and his connection to the mysterious Uncle. As a new mechanic, you'll be able to rent rooms to guests who want to stay a while. We've also already implemented an options menu for a smoother experience.

Our 3D art team is hard at work creating new models for the Blueberry's residents and patrons. We're determined to give each drink and dish its own unique look and description.




Meanwhile, our 2D artists are hard at work creating new illustrations for the protagonist's journal, as well as images that will grace your cookbooks, bartender guides, saloon walls, and even the interiors of Blueberry's homes.





We invite you all to join us on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/SKNNd2Byu8) where we share our weekly progress updates every Monday. It's also a place where you can ask us questions, share your ideas for improving the game, and connect with other players who share your excitement.

In closing, we'd like to once again express our deepest gratitude. Your unwavering support and enthusiasm fuels our determination to create an unforgettable Saloon Simulator experience. Together, we're shaping a game that captures the essence of the Wild West in a way we could only dream of.

Yeehaw, partners! See you behind bar!

Warmest Regards,

The Saloon Simulator Team.

The time has come for all those who have stocked up on gold from troll caves and fuling villages! Said gold is the prime currency in the world of Valheim after all, and there's a new vendor in the tenth realm where you can spend your riches.

For as you know, Haldor is not the only merchant in the family – and his sister Hildir has made her way to Valheim at last. But she has had some trouble on the way, and it appears most of her stock has gone missing. When you find her, she might request some help! By completing the tasks she has for you, you will unlock more things to buy from her – both new clothing as well as some other items that might come in handy in your base.

This update also brings some long awaited server modifiers; select a lower difficulty for a more casual experience, ramp it up for a hardcore playthrough, or come up with a mix of your own! Besides general difficulty, you will find settings for portals, resources, raids and more, all so that you can customise your experience to your viking heart's content.

Please note that these rules have been updated as of August 25th. If you have submitted an entry before that, make sure that it complies with the new and updated rules. If it does not, you are of course welcome to submit a new run.

Vikings, the time has come to prove your worth to the gods once and for all. You’ve slain the mighty Eikthyr, you’ve bested the horrors that hide in the Swamps and you’ve taken Yagluth’s power as your own, but the Allfather has more in store for you.

There can be only one champion, one viking that is stronger, braver and faster than everyone else. Welcome to the Trial of Tyr, a competition that will pit the best among you against each other in a race against time.

To celebrate the upcoming Hildir’s Request update that will introduce difficulty levels to Valheim, we are announcing a hard mode solo deathless contest, challenging Vikings around the world to enter Valheim and defeat all bosses on hard mode solo, without dying and as fast as possible. The winner of this contest will dine in the halls of Valhalla with a custom-made engraved viking tankard that will bear the winner’s name and completion time. There are also three merch kits at stake for the first, second and third prize:



As with every contest, there are rules you will have to follow in order to participate, and have your run be considered for first place. These are as follows:

• The run must be made by a single player without dying, external help or the use of any dev commands. No mods or other kinds of third party software are allowed.
  
• You are not allowed to exploit the game in any way. This includes the usage of bugs, glitches (for example, but not limited to: Clipping through objects, resetting status or even conditions by logging out, duping, and boss summoning exploits, etc.) and all other methods not intended by the developers which are used to gain an unfair advantage over other players.
  
• You must play with the “Hard” preset in the world modifier settings.
  
• You must stream and/or fully record your run. In order to pause the run (taking breaks are important!), players must toggle the pause screen, stop recording, then after the break, start recording and untoggle the pause screen. If the player needs to log out, the recording must restart as soon as the player presses play. Cuts in the recording may NOT be made during active playtime (when you’re able to freely move your character).
  
• When submitting, please calculate your total run time and subtract any pauses. We will verify the run time when watching your submission.
  
• You must play with a new character and a new world, on the official Trial of Tyr world seed: MX7L9GYcf2 (You are allowed to scout the seed in advance, but for the actual run you must make a new world). The run must be played on the current stable (default) branch of Valheim.
  
• Re-mapping keys is allowed, but only within the confines of the game. Using secondary software to bypass this is not allowed.

Your time starts the second your character lands in the start temple, and the run is considered finished when the player has defeated all of the Valheim bosses (Eikthyr, The Elder, Bonemass, Moder, Yagluth and The Queen) and mounted their heads at the Ancient Stone Circle. The winner of the competition is the player with the fastest completion time — players can submit multiple runs if they manage to beat their previous times.

Please upload your run and submit your entry according to this form, before Tuesday 19th September at 23:59 CEST / 14:59 PDT, to be considered for the competition. And should you want to show off your run, please make sure to use the hashtag #Trialoftyr on social media!
