We are now deploying Gateway to the EVRIMA branch. As outlined in our latest DevBlog, our current live version (Spiro, 0.11.59.04) will be moved to its own branch for a limited time. This move is designed to accommodate players who do not want to partake in active development but wish to continue playing the game on the previous stable version. Once Gateway's gameplay loop is assessed internally as stable and within the intended vision, we will drop support for 0.11.59.04 and return to a unified EVRIMA branch. All Official Servers are also transferring over to Gateway.
As always, you may need to restart your Steam client if the update is not immediately available to download.
Server Owners that utilize Gateway will have to make adjustments to their configuration files. Below, you'll find an example illustrating the required format for your Game.ini. Please note; You also have to use the appropriate depot when hosting for a specific map.

We are doing a new Kickstarter campaign on November 21st to showcase to newcomers what RPG Stories can do, giving 101 Battle Maps in 2D. These maps will be accompanied by .rpgs files for those who wish to use them directly in RPG stories or create their unique maps based on ours.😊
Now, the reason we called it 101 Battle Maps is because we made 100 maps and we want one member of our community to do this +1 special map!
Anyone can participate in this contest and the winner will get:
Their map will be the +1 map.
This +1 map will be credited either with your name or any brand you choose.
You will get all the rewards of this campaign (101 2D Battle Maps, the .rpgs files, all 101 maps in sunset style and night style, and the video cinematic loops for each map+ 1 GM Version Steam key).
This map can be Fantasy, Modern, Sci-fi or even a combination of those. Feel free to create any crazy thing you like!
Upload your Battle Map on our Steam Artwork community hub: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2105600/images/ with the title "101 Battlemaps Contest" and share it with our Steam community.
We will be gathering all maps and by the 5th of December all our discord members will get the chance to vote for the winner (we the devs will be voting as well ːsteamhappyː ).
P.S. 1 This is an example in case you need a reference. (Reminder: with the hotkey "T" you can go to the perfect top view). P.S. 2 Feel free to spread the word and ask your friends who own RPG Stories to submit their Battle Map and join our discord server to participate in this contest.
One piece of feedback we keep getting is that it takes a while to get to Stardander (where most of the story and excitement happens). While we want to introduce Callie and the world before she arrives there (and what is at stake for her), we decided it could be trimmed and re-arranged to be more exciting and move faster.
This update mostly effects the events before Callie arrives at Stardander, and this update also updates the demo.
In other news, while we're progressing on Chapter 5, it has been delayed a bit because of how busy we were in October. I updated the road map, and we're on track for a December 2023 release of Chapter 5. I hope you're excited, as this is going to be a major changing point in many ways, and a return to Callie's perspective for the first time!
