Having a hard time connecting with other people? Well now you don't have to! Welcome back to Riff Radio.

Patch #28 focuses on stability and playability by adding an Offline Mode, peer-to-peer co-op in Tour Mode, and a whole lot of other small updates.

With Patch #28, Battle Bands Tour Mode is now playable Offline. When players launch Battle Bands without an internet connection they will be prompted with an option to continue in Offline Mode. This will allow them to play single-player Tour Mode, earn Backstage Pass rewards, claim Milestones and spend credits at Joe's Variety (formerly known as the Shop). Royale Mode and the High Score system will only be available when connecting while online. Offline Mode will help more players play Battle Bands more easily and that (we think) is awesome.
In addition to Offline Mode, co-op Tour Mode now uses peer-to-peer connections for extra reliability. We also added Steam Cloud support to the Battle Bands save system to make it easier to play saved Tours anywhere!

Hi all,

We are exited to announce Map Modes, applied by the host, that affects the map or enemies in some way. Our first map mode called "Rush" speeds up the spawning and decreases the playing time. It is recommended for players who can cope with the increased spawn rate and prefer a shorter gameplay experience.

• Rush mode increases the enemy spawn rate by 33% and decreases the time between "waves" by 33%. This means that the first guardian will spawn at 20 minutes.
  
• Rush mode can only be used when everything on the map has been unlocked. Players that don't have everything unlocked can still join.
  
• The map mode (Normal by default) is visible in the Join Game lobby.

I hope you enjoy the Rush mode. Keep in mind that it's shortened (guardian at 20 instead of 30 minute mark) so it will be less optimal for players who still need to find chests or unlock map-specific weapons.

Till later,
André

Attention all Master of Magic players! The new update for the game means that older save games will no longer work.
But don’t worry, there is a solution!

You can use the legacy Steam Branch to play those save games. To access the legacy branch, right click Master of Magic in your steam library list, select Properties, then select Betas. In the Beta Participation section, choose "legacy - v1.06.45' in the drop down menu. This will install the legacy build that will allow you to continue with your save games.

Thank you for your attention

Hello Crew,

Or should we say, 「こんにちは、クルー」or "Witaj, załogo". Today's news post, after all, is mostly about the newest additions to Nemesis: Lockdown's localization database.

What we wanted to do is to highlight the recent big language additions to the game, as well as mention a brand new one - Japanese!


Recently, as you may already know, we implemented 4 new language options to the game: Chinese, German, French and Polish. Today, we're adding Japanese to the list. This makes the already impressive number of options even more so and we hope you enjoy playing the game in your native language!










What's even more awesome, is that the entire Japanese translation work has been done by 3 of the game's Japanese fans. These are:

• Naoki Koike
  
• Daisaku Uchida
  
• Tomato Juice

Thank you all so much for volounteering to do this and doing such an amazing job with the translation! It means the world to us that there's such a dedicated fanbase.


Other than that, for this patch, we also managed to fix some minor bugs based on the reports by the translation team, as well as other players.


As a reminder, here's some cool stuff that's been added in the previous, June patch:

• Updated ranking system
  
• Added the Seasons system
  
• Added the visual timeline
  
• Updated animations

We've also started a mailing list! If you’d like to stay in touch with all our latest updates and info on all of our future projects, be sure to sign up!



As always, we want to invite you to the game's official Discord server, on which you can find fellow crew members to form parties, or just chat about the game! Click the banner below to join.



Over and out, team.
