Network bugs fix

Hello, Legendary Tales fans.
Second patch is now available. (Already pushed)
I see many of gamers are playing, enjoying Legendary Tales and they love it since the launch!
We, our team, worked hard this time again, to make best form of Legendary Tales to give you best experiences.

I am happy to say, this update includes Hybrid-grip method for PSVR2 users, seated mode for many of chair, couch players, sitting button for who has back pain. On top of that, there are many new players who feel they have made mistake for secondary and skill tree. We brought limited character reset, each character will have one chance to reset secondary attributes and skill tree. It’s only once. We are happy to help players who made mistake. I wish you learned something from your first mistake and don’t make same mistake again. Think enough before you invest points, use it wisely.

Also, sometimes Random encounters are brutal for some people. I think that is part of fun of ARPG. But still limiting potion accessibility is not what we want and feel dried. So now you can exchange Mana chunk into Blood chunk, vice versa by throw them into caldron. Now both of objects can be useful for anyone!

I do believe that Devs exists to help players to have fun with the game and change frustrations into motivation. That is what I want to do with patch, updates. I hope this patch/update help you to enjoy the game.


One last thing, I want to let you know that we are currently working on more localization. French is already work in progress, Thanks to one of our community user @Pommespanzer. Pommeepanzer is doing it voluntarily. Additionally, we are going to support Spanish, Polish as well with translator, but if anyone in the community who want to fix, change wrong translator texts for better translation, let me know, I will open the docs for you and let you fix, change it. Also, we are looking for German and Japanese as well who can help us to make it better translation for better translation.
We are targeting (means not guaranteed) to bring all language support on next patch or another next patch after that. And Female character armor and helm update is also coming together with all languages support. Let’s hope everything goes smoothly.
I believe this is great part of Indie development, users, and us, can make the game better and better. It’s not just Pommeepanzer, I am really happy that all users are working together to help each other in any community I see. I feel we are all connected as a gamer with our game, Legendary Tales.
I am everywhere, Reddit, Discord servers, Twitter, and dedicated communities, such as Korean one, Etc.., to collect your feedback and how you feel with Legendary Tales to make it better. I am watching you. I will bring more patch/updates next time. Until then,
Enjoy to make you own Legendary Tales.

Best regards,

BJ

Hello, hoomans!

As you're aware, we recently ran on our Ko-Fi ( http://ko-fi.com/devcats ) the "Your Cat in Our Game" campaign, inviting participants to donate and have their beloved cats featured in our upcoming game Cats Love Boxes.

The little guy you see in the announcement pitcure is Joao, a rescued cat from Adote Um Ronrom -- a social entrepreneurship dedicated to helping stray cats in Brazil. Joao is one of the many cats they have rescued so far. All proceeds from the "Your Cat in Our Game" campaign were donated to Adote Um Ronrom, to help them a little. Adote Um Ronrom aims to improve the lives of homeless and abandoned cats by providing them with a second chance to find a loving and safe forever home. We at Devcats are proud to contribute to this cause and make a paw-sitive impact in the lives of these vulnerable felines fellas. Please check them out at http://www.instagram.com/adoteumronrom/ and http://www.adoteumronrom.com.br/ !

So mark your calendars for February 28th, when the game launches, and get ready to embark on a truly special adventure with your cat by your side, both in the game and in making a difference in the real world. Experience Cats Love Boxes and support a cause close to your heart. Cats from all over the world need us all. ❤

Love & Purrs,
The Devcats 🐾

P.S.: We know a lot of people could not participate in the Campaign due to limited slots. We are preparing something special for A Park Full of Cats, so stay Tuna'd!

Hello there, Vladirien here!

New camp type : the Barracks which spawn soldiers until killed

New variations for the camp tiles so it appears more "man-made"

You can now Promote family members (Family Panel), for a fee to Notarie, making the family member a full Lord operating on their own under your House.

Basic Commands can be given from afar using 1 Raven:

• Collect Taxes (House owned Settlements)
  
• Recruit (If enough Coins)
  
• Patrol
  
• Follow Me

You can Trade and Transfer soldiers to manage the Promoted Lords.
Food Collection will be done automatically with a growing Army. But it will take time for them to build up on food themselves.

They have same food and upkeep consumption as other Lords depending on Army size.

Keep in mind this is useful in Mid/End-Game and Early game it will be too hard to sustain the upkeep of several armies. And with no respectable army they will be easy prey for hostile Lords.
Without any particular order they will act on their own for the House just like any other Lord. With their own Personality based on their Tarot cards.

After your first Settlement it's a good time to Promote someone.


Modular Characters are now merged into a single mesh to increase performance in combat, effectively reducing the draw calls to 20% on the GPU.

Also, I am aware that the current mid-late game balance has a lot of room for improvement. I will take a look at this in the next balancing patch. We have a giant thread on Discord about balancing, please feel free to chime in: https://discord.com/channels/631551126377857044/1210338409797787698

I have read through all the 175 posts (as of writing) of the giant Discord thread about balancing. I think I agree with lots of issues pointed out there. I will gradually address them in the coming patches.

This weekend's patch will be focused on new content. And I want to reassure you guys that the current late game "time wall" is not what I intended - I don't ever want to monetize on the game time (like microtransaction games) - I want players to go and explore late game content because I have spent lots of time making them! It pains me that lots of people are stuck on early loops and miss the late-game goodness.

Hello Estate Agents!

Do you want your houses to have a better design? Maybe you don't want to deal with design at all. With the new update, you can hire an architect for interior design. The architect will design the house for you, furnish it and you will get more rent. All you have to do is go to the architect's office.

Stay tuned for updates.
