NEVER STOP RIDING

- Added new story chapters thanks to Nonomo.
- Added a bonus to fairy dust purchases.
- Fixed a few issues which broke the game in higher difficulties. Potentially you can now earn more money than e+308.

We’ve updated how the daily rewards system works, now your progress will no longer be reset if you miss a day.


Xi, Martyr of Peace
- Trigger condition changed to match other Martyrs (“When Xi, Martyr of Peace is killed by an enemy, Transform all enemy Characters into 3/3 Flying Spirits and your Fortress heals 15 damage.”)

Insane Reliquary
- Cost decreased from 3 to 2
- Card reworked to: Whenever you discard or remove a card from your hand, give a random deployed character you control and the top character in your deck each +1/+1. If you discarded or removed another Insane Reliquary this way, give each of those characters +3/+3 instead.

Goal: This rather toothy and wordy card is back in the shop by popular demand, being reworked and increased in power. Previously, it was too slow and unpredictable to be worth playing. The addition of stronger removal synergy may also make a fun deck or two.

Hey, Everyone!

We hope this update finds you well and eager to hear about the latest developments from our team! We're a bit behind schedule with this update—our apologies for missing the mark yesterday, but the whirlwind of activity here has kept us all hands on deck!

📚 Revamp of Episode 1: Despite the ongoing challenges with our render PCs and some file losses, we're thrilled to report significant progress on the Episode 1 revamp. The writing process is in full swing, and we're finding the evolution of the story both exhilarating and rewarding. We're pouring our hearts and creativity into enhancing the narrative, and we're confident that you'll appreciate the updated story as much as we're enjoying crafting it!

💻 Innovations in Coding: On the technical front, we've made some remarkable advancements, particularly with the integration of a new phone system in the game. This feature is set to revolutionize the way you interact with the world of Bancroft Academy. Through your in-game phone, you'll unlock cool rewards, catch up with characters, and uncover secrets that deepen your engagement with the storyline. We're eager to share more but want to keep some surprises under wraps for now!

🔧 Navigating Technical Difficulties: The issues with our rendering capabilities and file management persist, but please rest assured, these obstacles have not dampened our spirits or our determination to deliver an exceptional gaming experience. We're actively exploring solutions to these problems and are committed to overcoming them as swiftly as possible.

🙏 A Note of Appreciation: We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your patience and understanding. The enthusiasm and support of our community are what drive us forward, even when faced with challenges. Your continued encouragement is invaluable to us as we navigate this complex development process.

📅 Looking Ahead: As we move forward, we're focused on maintaining momentum with the development of Bancroft Academy. The enhancements to the game, both in storytelling and in interactive features like the new phone system, are designed to create a more immersive and engaging player experience. We can't wait for you to see what we've been working on.

We'll be back with more updates in two weeks, ready to share further progress and perhaps a few sneak peeks at what's to come. In the meantime, we remain committed to our mission of bringing you the best possible version of Bancroft Academy.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means everything to us!

Stay safe

Hello Gamers!

Great news for those who bought The Fallen Night...

We're announcing that we're coming soon to multiplayer (no bots at the moment), story mode (GTA style), mmorpg mode, mini-games (some may take longer), commander mode, 2D and 3D fighting modes, brawl mode, and maybe a few more modes, plus a lot of amazing improvements, and we're going to work on expanding and/or remodeling existing maps and perhaps creating new maps that can be included in the next update or in some other future update.
You should also know that The Fallen Night Remastered Edition will arrive soon, it is only an edition with slightly improved graphics thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and some tricks but it is an Early Access edition where it is not recommended to focus on progressing since with future updates it is likely that you will lose the saved data, however if there is a lot of chaos then it will be taken to Unreal Engine 4 to integrate into the same version of TFN, the Remastered Edition is already included in the standard TFN package.

New Systems:
Story: Unarmed combat, horseback riding, skill branch, class fusion, love affairs, socialism, concealment, and recruit for your squad.
MMORPG: Companions, Pets, Stats, Talents, Mounts, General Chat, More Attack Skills, Inventory, and Leveling System.

New Classes:
Elite, Spy, Pikeman, Spearman and Mage.


Edición Estándar:



Edición Remastered:

● Added Button Tooltip for the Current Power
● Slightly Straightened Mines Level

At the moment, the current version of the game is unstable - this is due to a large change taking place in order to allow easier translation. The next update (which should be along soon) should stablise things.

Thank you for your patience

This patch expands on some of the changes in 0.4.1 with the following.

• Fixed a camera issue when holding an up block while landing from a jump. As part of this, also changed the way the jumping animations work so they also should look a fair bit more smooth when you are doing left side attacks in mid air.
  
• Added a popup at startup that dynamically pulls from an HTML file so that I can share information with playtesters more easily without updating the game
  
• Add links to the discord, the wiki (see below) and the steam page into the game
  
• Swordai will have a wiki on wiki.gg shortly, it is still in construction so right now the wiki link in the game will take you to a password protected page, but it should be functional sometime next week.
  
• Updated the appearance of the boss room in memories and tweaked the fight a bit, see screenshot below
  
• Added a bunch of achievements and stats that will drive the progression through the existing portions of the game during the first playtest. Currently almost everything is still unlocked but that will change next week. Currently the new achievements all share the same icon, it will be that way for a bit.
  
• Made it so you have to S grade the previous kata to unlock the next one
  
• Added a pure difficulty to challenges that you unlock by S grading the base version of the challenge.
  
• Made it so that if you have no internet when you try to bank essence that it eventually gives up and takes you to the main menu.
  
• Changed thrill of the hunt to refund stamina on hit and reworked second chance to heal on block.
