Hello everyone!

I am excited to say that Mystical Map is fully released on Steam!

The full version includes new zones, weapons, upgrades and enemies, as well as achievements and cloud saves.

Thank you to everyone who plays it! I have spent the past few months tweaking and polishing it as much as I could. If you notice any bugs, game breaking or not, please email me at peep.gamedev@gmail.com

Enjoy!

We meet again, Legendary Defenders of Ithaca!

With the defeat of Ajax peace returned to the lands, but alas, it was but a temporary peace. The undead were but a vanguard of the hordes, and now the nightmare begins again.

Spiders, vast hordes of them, led by the legendary Arachne have been sighted and are quickly approaching the city. We must once again unite and defend our homes, least we become food for these monstrous beasts.

Arachne's Trial has started!



Brace yourself for an extended taste of the action from the Legendary Hoplite, as this new prologue covers the first 10 levels of our first chapter, letting you first revisit your legendary fight against Ajax, and then progress further until you meet the mother of all spiders, Arachne herself.

• Saved Progress: You asked and we delivered. This time, progress in Arachne's Trial will be saved to the full game, so if you play in our prologue, and then decide that you want to take on the full game, you'll be able to seamlessly continue from where you left off. In short, your heroic feats won't go unnoticed. Now there’s no excuse not to join, grab your spear and shield, and come home with this shield or upon it!
  
  
• Enchanting New Music: As the great Greek poet put it, "Noble and manly music invigorates the spirit, strengthens the wavering man, and incites him to great and worthy deeds." So, fight your way to the two bosses, Ajax and Arachne, and you'll be treated to a very special soundtrack that we're sure you'll all enjoy!
  
  
• 10 Levels of Tower Defense Mayhem: As said by Euripides, "The god of war hates those who hesitate!" Ten levels await you, take on the undead hoards, then fight the monstrous Arachne and her spider swarms.
  
  
  
  
• Versatile Combat Units: At your side are the Phalanx, Barrel Thrower, Walls, Archer Tower, Catapult, and the Cavalry. Each provides a unique edge that will be vital to the defense of Ithaca, and you'll need to lead them to victory! Remember, the true contempt of an invader is shown by deeds of valor in the field - Hermocrates of Syracuse.
  
  
• Upgrade your Armies: The all-new progression system makes its debut. Enhance your defensive forces by upgrading them to the bronze star level, then unlock the powerful War Techniques. It will be a long and hard journey, but the payoff is well worth it.

Prepare for Arachne's Trial - Where Legends Rise!
Face the challenge, vanquish Arachne, and secure your place among the legendary commanders!

Hey everyone, my name is Brian Wilson and I'm the creator of The Forest Cathedral. Being nominated for the Nuovo Award (which is my favorite category in the IGFs) is an absolute honor. The Forest Cathedral is a strange, difficult, and beautiful game about science and loss. So our work in making the game as accessible as possible for everyone to play, is what I'm most proud of. Of course, I couldn't have done this without my awesome team or publisher Whitethorn Games - so, thank you! Be sure to tune in to the award show live on Twitch on March 20th or if you are in San Francisco for GDC, please, come say hi!

Nuovo Award: The award recognizes games that take risks, use unusual approaches, and make jurors think differently about games.





2024 INDEPENDENT GAMES FESTIVAL FINALISTS

• We're kicking off 2024 with improvements to the consistency of wrecks. We've fixed the looping wreck resets in corner, updated the wreck detection system, increased wreck thresholds, and improved suspension capability.
  
• There are now even more ways to stay low on takeoff. Performing quick scrubs with different leaning and turning timing will change the jump trajectory and how far the rider is leaned over at takeoff.
  
• It is now easier then ever to land a gnarly Scrub or Whip. We've improved the behavior of Airborne Helpers which help the rider return to the upright position when letting go of the steering and leaning controls.
  
• Ready for more? We've added 5 new Expert variants of Supercross tracks just in time for the start of the Supercross season: Denver, St. Louis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, & Las Vegas!
  
• Sneak Peek! 2023 Yamaha bikes are coming soon!
  
• Enjoy a first look at Series mode, a new, quick-paced way to unlock tracks and earn MotoCoin. Compete in a series of scored races, if you come out on top you can win big. Expect more enhancements in future patches!

• Added Expert variants of 5 more base game Supercross tracks: Denver, St. Louis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, & Las Vegas. The remaining tracks will continue to trickle out in future patches.
  
• Adjusted the huge jump in Overlook National at the top of the track; the jump is now taller and steeper to reduce the high frequency of wrecks when landing.
  
• Adjusted terrain deformation on open world maps to decrease the excessive rut width.
  
• Adjusted the water obstacles in Lechuga Lakes Nations; raised the terrain slightly to reduce wrecking in what should be shallow puddles.

• Added Series mode. In Series, the player competes against a consistent roster of riders over a series of events scored by finish position. Players can earn a big payout at the end of the series based on their final standings. Series is a low-friction alternative to Career, allowing players to quickly unlock tracks by playing through each series.
  
• Fixed bugs when remapping while using Single Stick controls.
  
• Fixed missing Reverse action in some configurations during input remapping.
  
• Fixed Bail action with input remapping

• Updated data for upcoming Track Pack DLC.
  
• Added data for upcoming 2023 Yamaha Vehicle Pack DLC.

• Fixed the few remaining instances where the lighting/weather conditions could be broken when playing online.

• Added 2023 Honda Anniversary Edition parts to 2023 Honda MX bikes.
  
• Added Graphic Kits present on 2021 KTM and Husqvarna to 2023 KTM and Husqvarna.

• Fixed issue causing MX bikes to continuously wreck in corners.
  
• Added speed checks to wrecks and near-wrecks, preventing wrecks and wreck animations from playing at particular ranges of speed.
  
• Added near-wreck conditions for landing sideways and landing with too much roll.
  
• Updated the Wreck evaluation system to improve the detection and triggering of wrecks.
  
• Increased suspension wreck thresholds on MX bikes.
  
• Added Quick Scrub variations based when leaning and turning are applied before jump take-off. Each type of Quick Scrub changes the jump trajectory and how far the rider is leaned over at takeoff. For a Regular Quick Scrub push lean and steer in opposite directions at the same time. For an Upright Quick Scrub steer into the jump before leaning in the opposite direction. For a Leaned-Over Quick Scrub lean into the jump before turning in the opposite direction.
  
• Increased the strength of the helpers which return the rider to an upright position while airborne. Releasing the lean and turn controls will more quickly return the rider upright, perfect for recovering from big whips or scrubs, and even flips. This assist is disabled when Pro Physics is enabled.
  
• Adjusted frame collision to reduce sticking on low-friction surfaces.
  
• Increased stiffness of ATV suspension to reduce bouncing.

• Rider head looks in the direction of the bike movement when in-air.
  
• Fixed various minor animation bugs.

• Fixed an issue allowing the rider to fall into the ground when wrecking.
