The test branch has been updated and is now version 1.0.68836 Test 09/27/2023
This is a small update which mostly contains technical changes to support our upcoming DLC, Pharaohs of the Nile, available October 4th on Steam, Epic and GoG!
UI Turning existing characters into Courtiers no longer triggers a popup
After working on the game for over a year it was so awesome to see so many players already enjoy Underground Blossom today. Thanks so much for that!
We’re working hard to respond to everyone and address the issues that some of you have found. With this update, we have fixed several issues including the disappearing cubes bug! In the patch notes below you can read more about what we’ve improved.
If you were effected by the disappearing cube bug it unfortunately means you will have to reset the game and play through it again. We have tried really hard to come up with a solution to work around this but it was simply not possible. Please reach out to our support [at] rustylake.com email and mention this bug to see if we can do anything for you.
If you are experiencing any other issues please reach out to us on our Discord!
The first post-update hotfix is now available. It addresses some common bugs, improves bookmark navigation, and more. Full patch notes:
Bookmark navigation has been improved.
Added a mechanism to repeat achievement uploads if they fail. If you believe the game missed an achievement, run it again after updating.
Added more animations to Edgar in the mirror, characters in the dungeon, vampires, Prince Charming with frogs, and the Queen with the Knight.
Subgoal solutions in multi-goal levels are now clickable too. This will reveal a valid solution for a previously-solved puzzle.
Improved feedback in devil levels.
Major Fix: Stamps should (hopefully) no longer disappear under any circumstances!
Fix: achievement timing has been improved to help Steam show notifications in a timely manner.
Fix: removed a bad solution for "Queen beheads all men."
Fix: removed a bad solution to "Spouses reject each other."
Fix: stopped the detective from shooting the Devil.
Fix: occasional crown unlock bug has been fixed.
Fix: Improved Duke's behavior, as he was being too gullible about the toy gun.
Levels Removed: "Queens suffers four tragedies" and "Resurrection" have been temporarily removed while they are being fixed. Expect them to be added back into the game soon.
It's been great seeing so many of you get back into Storyteller with yesterday's update. Thanks for playing!
For years, The Hermit was nothing but a rumor, an easy explanation for the mysterious increase in beast attacks throughout Thera. But he was always real, always scheming, and growing in power. All doubts about The Hermit's existence vanished when he and his army of giant beasts attacked and destroyed The Hive.
With their largest source of food obliterated in an instant, the people of Thera find themselves in a full-on war for their very survival. Four new alliances have arisen to combat the Hermit and the monsters he controls, but will it be enough?

The Totem, Premium Sigils, Avatar and Card Back will be separately purchasable after the release of Battle Lines but fair warning: the Pre-Order Bundles will disappear when the new set drops. Don't miss your chance to get the best value!
When these Pre-Order bundles go live, the Eternal Web Store money transaction items will be disabled for a period of time making these exclusively available only in-Client. (You'll still be able to access the Community store via the website during this period.) Because of this, we'll be adding the web exclusive incentives into the bundles. More draft tickets for all.
Also, we will be retiring The Devouring Legendary bundle at the same time at which point it will no longer be available.
Battle Lines Preview Events
Get a first look at some larger-than-life new arrivals in a pair of preview events! The Draft format will offer a preview of select cards from the new set on Wednesday, October 11th, and a constructed event highlighting the new themes and mechanics of Battle Lines will kick off on Friday, October 13th, giving you a chance to earn and play with the new cards before release!
Battle Lines Limited Time Bonuses!
When Battle Lines launches, we'll have some special bonuses that will be active for a limited time. We'll share more details as we near the full release so get excited!
Expedition Vault
It's almost been two years since we released the Expedition Vault! This was a bundle of cards that we gave out to all players to help build Expedition legal decks and to help new players get a start for deck building. When Battle Lines releases, a new version of the Vault will also be released. Existing players will be granted the difference in cards, where players new to Eternal will be granted the whole set.
Community Spoilers!
Make your mark on the Eternal community with a unique spoiler from Battle Lines!
There will be an extremely limited number of spoilers available in the Community Store for 35,000 Influence each. You can purchase them in-client or from the Eternal Web Store. If you manage to get one, you can share it with the community however you’d like – write an article, make a video, donate it to a favorite streamer – all we ask is that you don’t misrepresent the actual card.
Community Spoilers sell out fast, so you’ll need to get your clicking finger ready for when each batch goes on sale:
Batch 1: Monday, October 2nd at 2 PM MDT (20:00 UTC)
Batch 2: Friday, October 6th at 2 PM MDT (20:00 UTC)
Batch 3: Thursday, October 12th at 2 PM MDT (20:00 UTC)
Please allow 2-3 business days for email delivery.
Next Update Our next update will be the Female MC update! As mentioned before, this update will allow you to choose a female MC at the start of the game. Having a Female MC will allow you to take on clients yourself and will also let you offer yourself to thugs in the slums.
We've also decided to update the cheat menu in-game (not available in the demo version). This won't be a big update to the cheat menu, but it will allow you to edit character stats and also give you a couple more options in the cheat menu.
On top of the Female MC and cheat menu, we also plan to finish up the translation system for the game. This new system will allow you to switch languages in the settings menu to change the dialogue and UI text in-game. We're also designing it so people can add translations by editing the included text or spreadsheet files.
New Patch Coming Today! We will have a new patch out soon (later today). This patch addresses some of the bugs introduced in the last update and also improves texture page swapping which should reduce crashes. We've also added a couple of new appearance options for female characters. Patch Notes are included below.
Other Stuff Currently, we are working on adding different breast sizes for female NPCs. We only have a couple more outfits to adjust before it's included in an upcoming update.
We are also working on getting another animator for the "Money Shot" Scenes. These animations need to be hand-drawn in order to get the right "feel".
An update to regular character animations is also in the works. Right now we are focusing on female NPCs. Once that is finished, we will move on to more scenes involving both the male and female NPCs before we start work on the updated animations for Males.
Patch Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed Alice not displaying properly during the intro - Fixed Receptionist not assigning workers - Receptionists now gain 5 exp each day - Maids now gain 5 exp each day - Fixed issue with lost girl event hangup - [Linux] fixed crash involving sound data structure - Changed UI font - Fixed bug that kept the wait menu open after travelling - Improved collision detection when interacting with female NPCs - improved texture page handling (should reduce crashes) - Fixed breasts being different colors - 1 new hairstyle for females - 1 new nose variation for females - 1 new eye shape for females
Outro That's it for this post. We want to thank all of you for your input and feedback. Without your thoughts and support, this game wouldn't be where it is today. We can't wait to get this update out and move on to the next.
We hurry to share news about fixes and enhancements:
New algorithm of platform generation for the first level. The distribution of platforms and bonuses after the start of the game became more dense, it became easier to finish the level, the main thing is to keep an eye on health and replenish it in time.
Increased the damage to the enemy with your weapon. It seems to have tightened the nuts, and then shootouts became too short, the player is killed immediately, and we promised more fan less sweat. Fixes.
Changed the formula for calculating CQB points. Reduced the influence of obstacle course time, otherwise 1000 points could only be scored by a record-breaking sprinter.
