Hey all,

Just a quick patch to fix the issue causing some people to get stuck on loading screens. As well as some other small tweaks. We've been fixing bugs right up until Christmas so we are now going to take a couple of days off, so apologies if any issues still persist over the next few days. We will get to them once we are back.

! Bugs Fixed and Changes Made:

• Fixed issue causing people to get stuck on loading screen sometimes.
  
• Added the Wreath and Festivus painting to Frank's shop.

! Known Issues:

• Sometimes pets may not spawn in correctly, or the cat in the town will not show, Just go into the caves and come back, or exit to the main menu then reload and they will appear again.

Well, would ya look at that; we're on the cusp of a brand new year!

2023 has been a busy one and ended up being more about building good foundations than it has been about big razzle-dazzle features.

That said this year has included the release of the Mod browser, Mac Support, Symbiotes, and many many assets.

All that building has set us up for an exciting start to 2024 with big performance improvements coming to the backend, the full release of creature modding, and the introduction of Seats all lined up for release early in the year.

We don't want to keep you here any longer than necessary, so let us just say thank you once again for supporting us and for allowing TaleSpire to grow from a fun idea to way more than even we expected. We've still got a ways to go to deliver the vision, and we are thrilled to be making that journey with you.

So Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and God Jul to you all!

See you in the new year.

A brief update on the progress of Project Watcher.

Side note: If you want to read the first two devlogs, you can find them on itch.io:


To improve visual effects, we have added a volumetric fog effect and sun shafts to the game:




As we are slowly approaching the February Steam Fest, we are currently working on wrapping up the Watcher demo. Among other things, we are focusing on refining the level from the visual side:






In Project Watcher, the player will have the opportunity to use slow-motion ability. It will be charged by killing enemies. We will also add in the near feature a visual effect which will highlight enemies weak points while using slow motion:




We managed to refine the behavior of two opponents. One of them will attack the player at close range, while the other will throw explosive projectiles from a distance. Player can shot down these projectiles while in flight:




We finally managed to implement multi-scenes, which Unity has been offering for some time now. By loading smaller chunks of the level, we have improved the overall performance of the game.


In the next devlog we will show you a new type of enemy and perhaps a weapon add-ons system.

It has been an amazing journey developing and interacting with the gamers that like and support my game!

Thank you for reading this letter, thank you for playing my game, thank you for making videos about it!

For all of you brothers and sisters I thank God for!

That God Bless all of you and your families in the All Mighty Name of Jesus Christ! Our Lord and Saviour!

1. The battle cannot proceed without 4 cards in the battle deck.

Developer's comment: There was an issue where the battle did not proceed properly if less than 4 chapters were entered, so we were forced to block it.


2. Double the text speed.

Developer Comment: It would be nice to add a text speed option, but at this point, all I can do is make it faster than before.
I ask for your understanding.

Mataram's and Karangasem's gameplay

Dear Everyone...

Is winter has approch in your place or summer?

Well in Java quite hot despite now it's rainy season actully.

In this post, we would like to introduce Karangasem and Mataram. In previous post, we only introduce 1 each kingdom (Mengwi, Sakra, and Blambangan) and now 2 kingdoms? Why?

Kingdom of Mataram is the part of Karangasem's dynasty beside Cakranegara, Pagutan, and Pegangsaan. But all Balinese kingdom in West Lombok has become independent states and in later after Mataram conquered all Balinese kingdoms in Lombok in 1839, Mataram attacked Karangasem in Bali with support Dutch in Bali War III at 1849 where Dutch fight against Buleleng, Karangasem, and Klungkung (the suprame ruler of Bali). In later Karangasem got defeated by Mataram.

In other side, Karangasem before conquered by Mataram is the powerful kingdom in Bali. They has proved it with Karangasem's expansion to Lombok with conquered many Sasak kingdom in middle 18 th century. In late 18th century, they conquered Buleleng and in later, Buleleng have same dynasty with Karangasem.

Karangasem's gameplay


Mataram's gameplay



If you wonder why in opening scene of Mataram, the narrator called Mataram as Mantraman is in Babad Sakra, Mataram calls as Mantraman although in treaty between Dutch and Mataram used Mataram not Mantraman.

Thank you for your attention
