Hello there!

This is the last update of Part One!

This release offers three possible routes:

• Lisa gets caught and takes Audrey's place.
  
• Lisa participates as a pet.
  
• Lisa engages in forniphilia mode.

Each route provides about 15 minutes of gameplay.

Highlights of this update:

• Translation in Spanish and Portuguese.
  
• 363 new renders.
  
• Three possible endings!
  
• Two new animations (if you return home with Nella).

This update mainly advances the plot, so aside from one scene with Nella, there are no H-scenes.

Don't worry, though—the first update of Part Two is set to start with a bang and lots of excitement!

Remade the save system from scratch because it didn't work previously. Added more help in tutorial text, and some arrows to hint what to do. Completely revamped the visual style of the game, enjoy.

Greetings fellow humans.

I've been working hard on Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago for about two years now.

It was supposed to take 8 months.

We're going to be releasing in Japan and China which I've always wanted to do. You have no idea how much I want to be 'Big In Japan!' I would KILL to be Big in Japan. This game was obviously inspired a lot by Dragon Quest and it oozes in every pixel of the game. The early virtual pet games, the one where you were looking after a dinosaur and it looked like a little green egg, and all those dumb games like Cookie Clicker and Progress Quest.

The game is meant to be a toy. A companion game. Something for you to enjoy and have and own. It has no micro transactions and it isn't very expensive. It's meant to be a Virtual Pet Game, a JRPG, and an Idle Game. It's also meant to be something kind of new. You know, a new thing that I invented (By stealing ideas from everyone else).

When I say *I* have been working hard on Yolk Heroes for two years, I mean a team of people who have been nice enough to trust that the things I ask them to do is working to some kind of cohesive whole. Today is the day I wonder if I've done a good job as a leader. However, without a doubt, my entire team has been amazing. Everyone who has worked on this game went above and beyond. I only hope the final product does their individual work even a little bit of justice.

There are a lot of features and balance fixes I want to do, and there will be a lot of bugs found by players (I'm sure) right off the bat. The team will be trying to respond to any player input, especially in this first week.

Thank you for trusting us enough to try out our little indie game.

Hope you have fun.

-Always

The Yolk Heroes Team

(It is a perfect time to buy Grow a Carrot for your friends ;) )

Folks, with the Expansion release coming on May 23, I've just dropped a big patch for the base game in preparation for the new content. I will post the full change log of the update once the DLC goes live.

Special thanks to all the beta testers who helped polish this huge update. Veryfing 400 000 words with 9200 choices is no easy task for one person, so I am immensely grateful to all of you. With this, the beta officially concludes, and only last-minute bug fixes will be addressed.

Don't forget to wishlist the game to get notified of the release:

The shop has been reworked!

We have decided to apply the new shop configuration to the live version as well. You can check out the detailed description of the new shop in the 0.3.0(beta) and 0.3.0a(beta) patch notes. We also want to extend our gratitude to everyone who participated in the beta test and provided feedback.

New Class

A new class, Bard, has joined the casino! Clear stages with the Bard’s mystical ability to activate badge effects twice!

Version 1.12 has been released as the default game version! This version completely changes the way pax are spawned and the way they pick their destinations, and gives players and modders new tools for influencing these choices.



In 1.12 pax are spawned on specific geographical points, rather than by picking a station. And their destinations are also points in the map. Only after these points have been established are stations also picked, based on which stations can be reached from these points. Geographical points are picked based on population density. For now there is no visualization of these points so pax still just appear inside their origin stations, but the consequences of this previous step are very directly noticeable, specially when enabling the new "best path" mode.

Additionally, the way demand is generated has also changed. In 1.11 and earlier the achievable pax spawn rate of a given station was fixed, based on the station coverage. In 1.12 the pax rate depends both the population density around a station, and the reachable population from the station, subject to the distance demand curve. This means that opening more destinations in your network will not cut down on the desirability of the existing destinations as much as it did in 1.11.

All existing saves will see changes in their pax demand and generation flows, some of them very severe. A combination of changing the global demand % and the demand curves will help restore similar levels of demands compared to 1.11. For example, if more local demand is desired, you can change the destination curve to have much smaller % demand for 50km or more distances (less than 1%), then hike up the global demand %.


Since pax now spawn on map coordinates, and they have a (player configurable, limited) capability of picking their origin and destination stations, it does not make sense to divide station coverage like in 1.11. In 1.12 station coverages can overlap:



Additionally, maximum station area radius has been increased from 1.5km in 1.11 to 2.3km in 1.12.


Players can now create special sign-like buildings which add some amount of population to a point in the map:



These signs count as population points, just like the built-in population texture. They can be used to for example liven up areas which see high demand in real life but have low population, like airports.



In addition to player created POIs, mod authors can also provide map mod POI layers. Players can subscribe to these mods to immediately layers of POIs to their game map. These layers can be hidden, or have their proposed demand curve altered by players if desired.



To make the new POI feature even more powerful, it is possible pick a different demand curve for each player created POI, or globally for each mod POI layer. This allows to define POIs which have a different time based demand curve, for example a stadium only being active for a few hours a week, but having an outsized effect on its nearby stations by combining it with a large population value. Or making the distance demand curve of an airport much less dependent on the distance, compared to the default curve.

Lost Branch of Legend has always had a problem with the context of two-colored cards with odd numbered costs, especially 1-cost two-colors that always end up with a generic cost.
Our solution to that problem is introducing Hybrid Mana Costs.

It's worth noting that while MtG has cards with multiple types of Hybrid Mana on their cards, such Leyline of the Guildpact with its 4 types,
LBoL only allows for one type of Hybrid Cost on its cards, mostly due to a lack of need for multiple types on the same card and to not complicate automatically spending mana on these cards.
In plaintext notation, we'll be using "H" followed by the letters of the colors in that Hybrid cost.
E.g.: H:WR refers to a cost that can be paid with either one White Mana or one Red Mana. 2HH:WG refers to a cost of 2 generic mana and 2 mana that can be paid in any combination of White and Green.

A large number of two-colored cards had their costs changed to Hybrid (In most cases, this is a buff)

New White/Green Neutral Card added: Half-Human, Half-Phantom.
Maiden's Waltz now provides Barrier pre-Upgrade, Barrier output decreased:5→3, Upgraded cost decreased: WR→H:WR.
Around 30 total cards have had their costs changed to Hybrid, check in-game for further details.





Cirno's Blue cards have been completely reworked. While she retains her Cold status, her damage output has increased.
Some of her more experimental cards have been removed, while cards that synergise more with Blue's color identity of strong card draw have been added.

Card Pool Advanced Rule adjustment:
"For cards with mana value 5 or greater that have a generic mana cost component (1, 2, etc.), only their non-generic mana cost will count toward rule 1. These cards' mana costs can be reduced through effects."
For this, "5 or greater" was changed to "greater than 5", and the in-game logic was adjusted accordingly. This is closer to how it was intended to be implemented, and doesn't affect a large number of expensive cards.
