This update introduces some frequently requested features to the mod editor that will allow creators to make more exciting and unique custom boards.

It also brings a refresh to most of the game's user interface, improving the use of space to allow text and other items to be larger and more readable for those playing on small screens or with others sitting far from their monitor/TV.

Finally, bug fixes and other minor features/changes have been included based on player feedback.

• Added a new trigger to the Board Space Event Component, the 'On Player Pass' trigger.
  
  • This trigger runs a set of actions as the player passes over the board space. The player doesn't need to end their turn on the board space for the actions to run.
• Board space connections can be enabled/disabled while the board is being played.
  
  • You can disable a connection in the editor using the inspector.
    
  • You can enable/disable/toggle a connection at playtime using the new 'Set Connection Active' action.
  
  
  
• New action: Display Popup
  
  • Displays a custom popup, similar to the one when you reach a trophy chest or land on a recruit space.
    
  • You can set the speaker name, speaker image, popup text and buttons that will be displayed on the popup.
    
  • You can use up to four custom choice buttons, in addition to a general "close" button (which you can also set your custom text for) that will simply close the popup.
    
  • Buttons can be set to require a payment to be pressed, similar to how the popup for the chest requires 40 keys to open the chest.
    
    • You can make the player spend keys, health, trophies or an item per popup choice. Choices can also have no cost.
  • Buttons can run a set of actions when pressed. They can even trigger other 'Display Popup' actions, allowing multiple popups to be chained!
  
  
• New action: Set Connection Active
  
  • Allows connections between board spaces to be enabled/disabled/toggled.
    
  • If all outgoing connections from a board space are disabled, one will be enabled at random to avoid creating a dead-end.
• New action: Set Board Space Active
  
  • Board spaces can be Enabled/Disabled/Toggled at runtime.
    
  • When a board space is disabled, it will act like a pathing space; players will freely walk through where it was and the space itself will be invisible.
  
  
• The Logic component is now supported in board mods.
  
  • This allows creators to perform basic actions such as moving, enabling/disabling and destroying objects and spawning prefabs in boards.
    
  • Note: It doesn't have access to any actions that affect the gameboard as these can only be used from custom space events (On Player Land, On Player Pass).
  
  
• Added a new board connection type: Jumping
  
  • The player will visibly jump between the two spaces. Use this to make the player jump to distant or elevated board spaces where it doesn't make sense to make the player walk.
    
    • If riding a rocket, the rocket will fly between the two spaces.
      
    • The Bunny from the Dark Summoning Staff can also jump between spaces connected by the Jump connection type.
    
    
  • Added buttons in the mod editor on each component and action to quickly open the corresponding wiki page.
    
  • Added a new board preset to the mod editor that can be selected when creating a new mod. It is called “Advanced Board” and includes examples of how to build some advanced features in boards including:
    
    • An item shop.
      
    • An elevator.
      
    • A path that costs keys to take.
      
    • A pair of paths that swap which is available each time a player takes one of them.
      
    • An intersection that chooses the taken path randomly.
      
    • How you could use the logic component in a board mod.

• The gizmos for board space goal position now show whenever the space(s) is/are selected. All selected board spaces show their goal chest position gizmo (if the goal can spawn at that space).
  
• Actions are now grouped by category in the action editor window.
  
• Added a breadcrumb trail to the top of the action editor window to let you know what action on what object you're editing the actions of. This is especially useful when editing sub-actions for the Display Popup action.
  
• Connections between board spaces will show different colours for different connection types:
  
  • White for walking
    
  • Cyan for teleporting
    
  • Orange for jumping
    
  • Grey for disabled connections
• Improved the inspector for board spaces.
  
  • General UI and UX improvements.
    
  • The 'Align space to ground' button is better at locating the ground and will move spaces to the ground over a much greater distance. Previously the space had to be just above the ground for this feature to work.
• The number of players to test with when entering play mode within the mod editor is now remembered between sessions.
  
• Rocket Skewers can now use teleport connections. The rocket and rider will teleport as expected, rather than the previous behaviour of the player ending the rocket early on the board space before the teleport connection.

The game's various screens and menus are now larger and more readable. This has been done to align the UI more closely under a single visual style while improving usability, especially on smaller screens or when playing at a distance.

• Added a loading screen when first opening the game.
  
• A blur effect has been added behind some menus, rather than the darkening effect used previously.
  
• Moved menu headings to the bar along the top of the screen.
  
• Moved buttons to the bar along the bottom of the screen.
  
• Lobby screen
  
  • Players are automatically placed into slots when joining a lobby.
    
  • Player slots are slightly larger.
    
  • The saved game loading screen is larger and shows a preview image of the map.
• Ruleset menu
  
  • The ruleset selection checkbox has been removed.
    
  • Selecting a ruleset will now mark it as active, rather than opening it for editing.
    
  • The button previously used to rename a ruleset is now used to edit a ruleset.
    
    • The ability to rename a ruleset has been moved to a new rename option within the ruleset while editing it.
• Public Lobby browser
  
  • The lobby browser has been given a facelift, and now shows a preview image of the map/mode being played.
• Mod browser
  
  • The list is now larger to allow for larger preview images and more of each mod's description to be shown.

• Boards
  
  • UI is now larger in general.
    
  • Replaced trophy icons with a trophy count, allowing higher trophy numbers to be displayed.
    
  • New item inventory screen while in-game.
    
  • Moved the board modifier info box to the bottom right corner.
    
    • When cycling through the modifier descriptions, the final input will close the description, rather than loop to the first.
• Minigame Only games
  
  • Minigame only screen has been reworked to give more space to display game info.
    
  • Player podiums are now placed along the bottom of the screen.
• A new pause screen has been added.
  
  • The options menu can still be accessed from the pause screen by selecting the options button.
• The post-game statistics window is larger.

• Added flowers to the cactus disguise that match the player's color.
  
• 'Max Players' in a lobby can now be set to 2 or 3.
  
• Added first to 10 and 20 trophies options.
  
• Added 60, 120 and 300-second turn timer options.
  
• Added a notification in the lobby if you are currently loading a saved game.

Minigame rewards

• Item drops after minigames have been adjusted slightly to be fairer.
  
  • If multiple players tie for the same placement in a minigame, they will always be given the same item.
    
  • Certain items can only be earned by achieving specific placements. E.g. You won't have a situation where players in second earn a rocket while those in first don't, as only first place can be awarded a rocket.
    
  • If a player receives no item, players who got a lower placement than that person will also not be given an item.

Controls

• Updated plane minigame controls for controllers.
  
  • The left stick can be used to steer the plane up/down/left/right.
    
  • The right stick is closer to traditional flight controls with up/down affecting pitch and left/right adjusting the plane's roll.
• Changed the controls on some car minigames to all use the same button to accelerate (Accept) for consistency.

Custom Player Names

• Changed how default player names work so the only names that can be set are a default name based on the user or slot, plus all of the custom names. So there's no more "PlayerName (1)", "PlayerName (2)", etc. clogging up the name list.
  
  • E.g. The player in Slot one can use either their steam name, or any of the custom names. The player who joins slot two can use either "Player 2" or any of the custom names, and so on.
    
  • Unfortunately, any custom names you have saved may be cleared by this update.

Other

• Increased the brightness/visibility in some darker minigames.

• Worked on performance and stability improvements but may also cause new issues. Let us know if you see anything!
  
• Overhauled memory usage within the game.
  
  • Fixed memory leaks.
    
  • Memory usage is more consistent.
    
  • Loading times when entering and exiting games is slightly faster.
    
  • The game's filesize when installed has been reduced by about 1 GB.
• General performance improvements across many minigames.
  
• Mod prefab stability improvements.

• Fixed third-person camera input being twice as strong on the vertical axis than the horizontal axis.
  
• Fixed a bug causing custom names not to be applied occasionally when entering a game.
  
• Fixed many issues with loading saved games.
  
  • Fixed softlocks when loading a game with a weapons cache when you're current ruleset disables the weapons cache, and vice versa.
    
  • Fixed chest spawn issues when loading a game with fake chests while your ruleset disables fake chests, and vice versa.
    
  • Fixed several instances when returning to the lobby where it would try to load a saved game that you had loaded previously, rather than starting a new game.
    
  • Fixed bugs when players join an online lobby after saved data has been applied to the lobby.
• Fixed missing button icons for the steam controller and controllers using steam configuration.

• Removed the first to 6 trophies options
  
• Removed the 25-second turn timer option
  
• You can no longer add extra players when loading a saved game. i.e., if a game was saved with 3 players, you can't continue that save with 4 players.
  
  • This was not an intended feature and many aspects of the game would become unstable when this was performed.

VERSION 1.10 UPDATE!
Alongside the Legends DLC, we are also launching a large free patch, which includes a bunch of QoL and is quite compatible with the Legends DLC content, but also enhances the existing game! These updates include:

LUDICROUS DIFFICULTY!
They've gone to plaid! The brand new Ludicrous difficulty cranks up the enemy AI to become quite clever and ruthless. In addition, the game pulls back a bit on your resources, and gives the enemies a slight stat boost in addition to their far smarter AI. For all combatants, runaway offensive power has been curtailed in the mid to late game, keeping those engagements interesting all the way until the end. Go Permadeath on Ludicrous for the ultimate challenge!

Ludicrous difficulty requires competing Warlord difficulty to access.

HOVER TOOLTIPS
With both controller and mouse, you can get hover tooltips for various information, such as traits! We will continue to add more functionality to this new feature.

ENEMY CAVALRY CAN HIT AND RUN
Watch out, all enemy cavalry squads can now move after attacking, just like you can. This makes them especially deadly when used en masse!

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
You can now flip switches, take teleporters, and in some cases find treasures without using up your movement points or your action in a turn! It feels so much better now.

REVAMPED FINAL BATTLE
Don't want to spoil it too much, but the final boss is a lot more interesting now.

END GAME KILL/SURRENDER/DEFEAT/TURN TRACKER
After beating the game, you are now given a final tally of your turns taken, kills, surrenders, and defeats, with a window trim based on difficulty level! The game also tracks these in your save files along the way.

ARENA REWARDS REVAMP
We have rebalanced arena rewards to change up the incentive structure so you don't feel compelled to spam bronze arena a million times for the best outcomes. For example, S rank Platinum arena now yields a guaranteed unique legendary artifact!

QUICK VIEW UI EXPANSION
There is a new quick view mini-window to view squad leader traits and equipped artifacts for at-a-glance convenience!

RUSSIAN LANGUAGE SUPPORT
In addition to German, Spanish, French, BR-Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, Symphony of War now comes with Russian localization.

MULTIPLE BUG FIXES

Thank you so much for your continued interest and support!

Have a wonderful day, sincerely,
Phil

To celebrate, we’ll release a free Legendary skin to use in game. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on your collective progress! For more details, visit https://aka.ms/Legends20Million

Ahoy Victorians!

Today we released Dawn of Wonder, accompanied by a free update for all owners of Victoria 3.

Please do not use this thread to report any new issues you discover - but rather file any bug reports in the bug reporting forum, thank you!

We can not give any guarantees that save files from 1.3.x will be working in 1.4 without issues which is why we recommend that you roll back your game to the previous version and finish any ongoing games you want to finish before updating to 1.3. More information on rolling back your game version can be found here! (TL;DR is go to properties in Steam -> Betas -> select the version in the dropdown list).

These fresh warriors will undoubtedly add a whole new dimension to your gameplay, offering thrilling challenges and strategic opportunities like never before. They certainly don’t… wait for it… monkey around.

The Ape Professor is equipped with three Hand Actions: Awakening (wakes a friendly beast up from their Nap and gives them an additional Turn in the current Chapter), Mass Headache (gives a Headache to up to three selected enemy Beasts), and Swat with Infection (strikes the selected target for 5 damage and Infects it). In Duel mode, The Ape Professor has five Talents to use: Plague Immunity (Professor is immune to Plague), Painful Fingers (moving enemies with hand Actions cause Headache), Ape’s Anger (when Tiny gets damage from an enemy attack, a random enemy Beast gains Headache), Plague Business (for every infected Beast on the Battlefield at the end of the Chapter, Tiny will gain 1 drop of Living Ink), and a Non-Daily Headache (if Professor's health drops below 50%, a random enemy Beast will gain a Headache at the beginning of each Chapter).


The Ape Professor and his Ape Army.

Now that we introduced the new Inkulinati Master, allow us to tell you a bit about the Professor’s formidable Ape Army, featuring the mighty Broom-Wielding Ape, Belt-Wielding Ape, Goblet-Wielding Ape, and the ever-curious Professor's Assistant. Their extraordinary capabilities are an adventure waiting to unfold in itself, so we will leave the joy of discovering their prowess entirely in your hands. However, we’ll leave you with one tip. What unites almost all Apes (except Profossor's Assistant, he has more important things to do) is their profound appreciation for Frenzy. Each Ape soldier possesses one level of Ape's Frenzy, which will increase by 1 at the end of their turn. Now, you may be curious about the wondrous effects of Ape's Frenzy. As this captivating Frenzy takes hold, it removes Infection, and with each level gained, random effects will be added to Ape’s attacks. A word of caution though: just like with everything in life, it’s all about balance. Should Ape's Frenzy exceed the maximum level of 3, a Headache will befall, leading to a loss of the Ape Frenzy status. As with any great power, moderation is indeed the key to triumph.


Ape Professor and Apes.

But that's not all! Alongside the captivating addition of the Ape Professor and his Army, we're introducing a series of fresh, new Battlefields that promise to immerse you in visually stunning and tactically diverse settings. Your battles are about to become even more thrilling and unpredictable.



Two examples of new Battlefields.

As seasoned tacticians, we understand the importance of honing your skills. With this update, we proudly present the opportunity of a lifetime. You may now fine-tune your Inkulinati tactical prowess with new Intermediate Lessons in the Academy. Our newly added lessons will teach you some new cunning tips and tricks that will elevate your gameplay, ensuring you can outwit any opponent that crosses your path. Just imagine the look on your friend’s faces when you battle them next with your new found knowledge…


New Intermediate Lessons in the Academy.

With these exciting additions, we're pleased to introduce a new "pause" feature that’s designed to make your life easier on your Journey mode adventure. Based on your feedback we’ve also re-jigged the Dance Macabre, and we’ve implemented a lot of other various enhancements. For a complete breakdown of all the changes, please refer to our Changelog below. Enjoy the new Major Update and we look forward to speaking with you again soon.

Until next time,

Your Yaza Games and Daedalic Teams

Hey'all!

It's been a while since our last Demo update - and that's because we've been busy working on a lot of new features and content for the game!

Here's a few sneak peaks to some of the simpler stuff that we've been working on that isn't top secret redacted content -











There's a looooot more we've been working on, but we aren't ready to reveal that yet! We're almost done with the second class, we have additional difficulty systems implemented, a new boss for every act, and even more [REDACTED] systems that we are experimenting with!

Wishlist and follow us on Steam! We will likely be starting a devlog to reveal these new game features in the near future!




None of the features we've mentioned in this post are ready for the public yet (content creators beware!), but we're looking to expand our playtesting pool to have more feedback on what's working and where to improve!

If you might be interested in helping us playtest, please join our Discord server here and ask for the playtester role! We appreciate all and any ideas or feedback you have for us.

We're trying to make the best deckbuilder possible, and that doesn't happen without listening to your feedback!

Thanks,
axolotl

In this update the russian translation has got a few changes and optimization is on a new level!

On my developer machine I can reach 120FPS now on highest graphics without Nvidia DLSS enabled at peak with 5120x1440 pixels resolution. In small areas the framerate drops to at least 85 FPS.

I hope I did everyone a favour playing Their Land! Tell me how it worked in the Discord Server! <3

If there are severe translation errors, also let me know at the Discord Server. Thank you!

We think you deserve a few words of explanation. As you may have noticed, we have changed the game's release date to 2024.

We are a small studio, creating the project in our free time. Life always verifies plans - no matter how cautious they may be. Work is progressing, but not as fast as we would like - and unfortunately there's not much we can do about it.

We want to finish the game and we will! However, we had to - we hope for the last time - move the date on which we will be successful to next year.

We hope that despite this, you will stay with us and that the joy of the game will reward you for waiting longer. We will try to update you more often about the progress from now on (please also visit our social media for more information).

The Official Early Access Trailer for Wild Omission will be premiering on YouTube today (8/28/23) at 2PM CDT, that's 7PM UTC.

In Regards to upcoming release dates, there are two! On September 1st the single player Demo for Wild Omission will become available to download. As for the full game, It is difficult for me to give an exact date at the moment. By current estimations I feel that you could reasonably expect the full game to launch into early access in November!
