Hello, this is Ferry and Ollie, working on Defendun.

We've been referencing reviews posted on Steam forums, review platforms, and other websites as we continue our development.

This patch focused on CH.2's difficulty and play experience.
We decided that the difficulty level of CH.2's late 3rd stage and 4th stage (observer) was set to be more difficult than we intended, so we decided to lower the difficulty level by 3rd stage remake.

The bug that didn't play itself on 2023.11.09 was a baffling bug for us as well.
I've tried to fix the bug as quickly as possible and then update it, but I'm sorry to update it now...

We always want to say thank you to the users.
Thank you for all your reviews, feedback, and bug reports.

The new game will be released no earlier than in a year, and maybe later! She is at the beginning of her journey) Add to WISHLIST to stay updated! Screenshots on the page will be updated!

Hello, everyone!

Highway Blossoms 1.2.3 has just been released, which fixes a few issues of varying severity!

Of particular note, this release fixes the "FTFont NoneType" crash that was affecting certain users — thank you to everyone that reported and helped test this elusive issue, as we were completely unable to reproduce this on our local testing environments without your help! And our apologies for all the inconvenience that was experienced.

Additionally, using the Steam "Betas" feature to downgrade to 1.1.1, 1.1, and 1.0 should now work correctly, fixing the "unsupported pickle protocol: 5" error. (※ You may need to restart your Steam client for the changes to take effect, as the changes were made to Steamworks metadata and not to any actual game code or data.)

Thank you all for remaining patient, and as always, thank you for continuing to support Studio Élan!

〜 Karen/あけみ (akemin_dayo) and adirosa
On PC, it targets Ren'Py SDK versions 8.1.3.23091805 〜 7.5.3.22090809.

• Fixed the infamous "FTFont NoneType" crash that would occur only for certain users when attempting to draw a text box.
  • Running Highway Blossoms 1.2.3 at least once will apply modifications to your persistent save data in such a way that downgrading back to any version that was previously affected by the crash (1.2.2 〜 1.2) will now work on system configurations that were previously crashing.
    • ※ Note for people running downgraded versions: Fully deleting your persistent save data while on an affected version above will cause the crash to come back until 1.2.3 or newer is run at least once again to fix up your persistent save data.
• Fixed a crash that would occur if the user navigated to Marina's Thoughts, then to either the CG Gallery or the Guest Art sections in that specific order.
• Fixed the wrong item name being used for the "Miner's Journal" (as "Hiker's Journal") in Marina's Thoughts.
• Fixed a typo in the "Cassette" item (as "Casette") in Marina's Thoughts.
• Made various other internal refactors and improvements.

Wields a ice sword to attack that can slow down and even freeze enemies. With his masterful, versatile combat capabilities, he can handle any dangerous situation like a walk in the park.

See the details below.

Why are we reposting this?: Apparently, Steam does not allow a build to be linked to a DLC release announcement type post, so the game was shown to be last updated in August. Hence, we are reposting our patch notes along with the Hotfix I-II notes to be able to provide the algorithm a post about a new build. #indiedevlifehacks

Hot on the heels of our expansion’s release, we were ready to deploy our first hotfixes. These hotfixes address a swathe of bugs we’ve become aware of since the content first went out a few days ago. Among the matters addressed are those that appeared in yesterday’s “known issues” and several others that we are still working to fix. Please bear with us while we do our best to clear any problems and bugs as they become known. Checking the "Send Crash Reports" box on the Disclaimer screen helps a lot in becoming aware of things early, so thanks to everyone who did that.

It has also come to our attention via crash reports that for some reason, quite a number of our players are on earlier versions of the game (pre-hotfixes). So please make sure that Vagrus is updated to the latest version at all times.

Important Note: Considering the extent of the improvements, there is little to no chance that we broke nothing in the process. Assume that we did not want to make anyone's life harder. If you see something amiss, please flag it to us using the usual channels, like the inbuilt reporting tool (F1 button), forums, and our Discord server.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1684100/
The store page of the guide book "Secret Tales" has also been launched, and it is expected to be launched simultaneously when the final level (i.e. TE route) is completed. It is tentatively scheduled for Christmas

You can add a wish list first~This book is a 90P full color guide, setting, and illustration collection

1、Yamame's Stage Completed + New Story, CG & Skill

The battle with her must be dazzling and complex.

Although her attack power and health are not high, please be careful.

Be especially careful with your pitching skills.


Her barrage battles are also extremely threatening, please do not underestimate the enemy because the barrage in this game is simple.





The following are fragmented updates:

0. 3-1 added a root demon, which can pop Koishi into a hidden path with one move. Blessed are the players who owe the tree demon, which means that new players can more easily find the right path instead of fighting Chinese delicious mushrooms

1. Kokoro has added the ability to chop down (but it was updated in August)

2. Fixed bug where firefly particles were lost in levels caused by code changes

3. A hidden channel has been added in the area of 2-2 (after completing 5 blue mushrooms). The next small update will open, allowing you to directly jump to the entrance of the mountain girl, making it easier for newcomers to suffer（

There is an elite monster guarding the door.

4. Achievements added

5. Modified lens Y-axis focus

6. Modified the arrow style on the UI to make it more recognizable

7. Change level attribute rewards to fix HP's 10 to 1000 point gap issue

8. Some miscellaneous bugs

The next major update will complete the TE storyline, and the game will be presented in the form of a finished product in front of everyone.

Thank you all for your support!

We have updated the beta version of the game. Players can switch to the beta version by following these steps:

1. Right-click on the game and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
2. In the "Account" tab, locate the "Participate in Testing" section and click on "Change".
3. From the dropdown menu, select "Steam Beta update" and click "OK".
4. The system will automatically restart and update to the beta interface.

Here are the updates included in this version:

1. Automatic Bounty Feature: Players can now apply for automatic bounty quests through the Adventurers Guild. These quests will continuously refresh, and both the adventurers and players will receive rewards upon completion. Having more S-ranked quests in the Adventurers Guild will attract more powerful adventurers.

2. Complete Redesign of the Tech Tree: The UI of the tech tree has been redesigned to be more intuitive and concise. The tech tree now has 15 levels instead of 10, with numerous new technologies. Some less valuable technologies have been merged together so that unlocking one will unlock them all.

3. Reworked Bloodline Effects: Some bloodline effects have been reset, and bloodlines now have a certain influence on the personality and behavior of adventurers (e.g., vampires being more prone to sleepiness and heroes naturally loving quests). If the feedback is positive, all bloodlines will undergo a reset to ensure each one has unique aspects.

4. The Fourth Colossus: The flying barracuda is the fourth colossus in the game. It resides on a massive island, but the ecological aspects are still being finalized. Please be patient for further updates.

5. City Landscape System: Players can now place unique landscapes that provide certain bonuses to adventurers, tourists, and villagers. Currently, 11 landscape combinations are available, and more decorations and landscapes will be added in the upcoming week. There are even plans to introduce terrain modification gameplay, allowing players to create truly unique cities.

6. Colossus Upgrade Rework: The colossus level has been expanded from 10 to 15, and players can manually level up their colossus. When the colossus reaches maximum experience in the current level, excess experience will convert into coins and be returned to the player.

7. Optimization of Late-Game Frame Rate: This update includes comprehensive optimization of the game's underlying systems, ensuring a stable frame rate in the late game. We encourage players to try it out and provide feedback to encourage our developers.

Please note that some older save files may still cause crashes, but we aim to fully support them within the next 2-3 workdays.

Dear aerofly RC users,

- this update fixes an issue multiplayer issue that the initial player cannot select the scenery
- the display of the motor or rotor rpm's has been fixed
