Ladies and Villeins, there was no way that this update was going live without me posting an update.

You'll find lots of changes in this update, some little like showing the time left before food decays or the durability of an item in your inventory, and some major such as We have a new font!

That's right! After some (rather funny) constructive criticism during the Steam demo I have relented and implemented a new font. It's much more readable, as you can see in the image above, but still sticks with the overall written theme.

In this update you can expect a lot of re-balancing, it's now certainly worthwhile to try out your green thumb in the garden as we've completely overhauled the vegetable and herb growth rates and yields, and the same for processing and storing food.

Speaking of food, not only does cooking tick on a monthly basis now but so do moods, now there's a lot more long term planning into caring for your characters, though they may get annoyed a little slower now, they'll also get happy a lot slower too.

All these changes are still quite raw, the UI will take some time to adapt to the new font and the mechanic changes were so vast that a whole new round of playtests is in order. So get in there and give me some feedback!

Oh, and there are also some new events, I can't imagine anyone exhausted the events during the demo but, just in case, let me know if you spot them.

New:
Sort Inventory and Storage
On Parry Perks

Remember once it's gone it's GONE!

Enjoy!

A small patch to fix a couple issues with the game. Some of the changes may have an impact on performance. Please let us know if it is significant.

• Machicolations - Increased the spread on the activated attack so it covers a wider area.
  
• Murder Holes Tech - Decreased the speed the keep will throw rocks at enemies as it was a little too powerful.
  
• Desert Dunes Level - Reduced campaign difficulty for this level a bit since the level modifier on it is particularly challenging.
  
• Campaign - Set all size 10 levels to be 10 waves. Previously 2 of the levels were set to 9 instead.
  
• Turret Block - Minor adjustment to decrease its firing angle so arrows wouldn't go as high and would reach enemies sooner.
  
• Music - Slightly reduced the music volume
  
• Tech Tree - Made locked techs slightly darker to better distinguish them from techs that are unlocked by which the player doesn't have enough currency for.
  
• Targetting - Adjusted how blocks target siege weapons to make them more likely to hit the armor instead of bypassing it so often.
  
• Player Hand - During the build phase, cards which cant be played in that phase will be slightly lowered to make it clearer which can be used.

• Fixed an issue with the demo campaign where an error would prevent saving progress.
  
• Fixed an issue with camera rotation where it would slow down and get jittery when the game was slowed for aiming a block or volley.
  
• Removed the Changing paths modifier from Mountain Lakes as it was not supposed to be on that level.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the chest shown on the victory screen to shake faster on higher game speeds instead of being consistent.
  
• Fixed cards granted by the Resupply level modifier not being improved by the player's techs.
  
• Made a couple changes to hopefully fix issues with rendering on webgl.

- For achievements that are not on this list, they have yet to be added on the Steam platform as our team is facing a bit of trouble Id-ing, confirming and checking the newer achievements on the MyPad, namely ones from chapters 2,3,4 and 5 as well as "stacking" achievements with roman numeral numbers next to the name. We will aim to add about 100 of these achievements on Steam by summer, 2024.

Please contact us through the 'Help/Support' button in your game for any issues!

Dear Players,

Another Prologue update marks another step in our journey towards the full game release. In addition to immersing you in the history of the Riese complex, we're excited to showcase our progress in developing the full version of The Riese Project.

This update introduces controller support for the FPP mode, a feature frequently requested by you. We'd love to hear your feedback - do the mapped buttons meet your expectations, or do you have other suggestions? Currently, we've focused on Xbox controller compatibility, but we believe the PlayStation controller will also work seamlessly.

We regularly add new graphics and audio elements to enhance your experience in both FPP and VR modes.

Wishing you happy gaming! 🎮

Hey hey hey! I had to update my Unity version because of the [REDACTED], so here are some of the (subtle) fixes that came from that:

• Jumping is more forgiving
  
• Ceiling Jumping is easier
  
• Wall Jumping was patched slightly (might not be noticeable but the code is completely different)

Misc. Updates:

• Fixed a bug with two hidden achievements where they wouldn't be called (they were commented out lol)
  
• Probably something I'm forgetting

Thanks for playing!
