We understand that some of you are experiencing crashes, and we are prioritizing this issue at the moment. A patch is in the works, and we estimate it will be ready in the coming day(s). We hope this will fix the majority of crashes, and we will continue to monitor all feedback to continuously improve the game.

I released the game's soundtrack. The soundtrack will have a 30% discount for two weeks.

I also created a bundle of the game and soundtrack. If you buy them together, it will be 20% more profitable. Attention! This is only suitable for those who have not yet purchased the game.

What's in this update?
-Increased Eimear's base level and stats
-Aoife gains Inspired status when a player character dies
-Fixed a bug with Taran's data carrying over in new game plus
-Miscellaneous bug fixes

Eimear is more immediately useful when recruited. She can now carry players through the series of tougher maps after she joins, especially on Story mode. Aoife now gains Inspired (Mov + 2, Hit + 15, and Avo + 10 for 3 turns) when a player character dies. This allows tense moments where a unit's sacrifice motivates Aoife to escape more quickly or survive a tough encounter.

Walk with the Living II is currently on sale!

While not ready for a full announcement, my new game is titled Walk with Death, and I've revealed art for two of the game's characters and an enemy in my fancy, new Discord. The Walk with the Living games also have a home there, so I hope you'll join myself and others for fun chats!

Thanks as always for your support. Don't be a stranger ;)

Yours,
CB

Minor bug fixes.

Along with a price tag, this update brings you:

• Sorted levels by difficulty.
  
• Added Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Catalan translations.
  
• Added a language selection menu.
  
• Added windowed mode.
  
• Slightly lower CPU usage.
  
• Fix crash when running for a long time.
  
• Allow sending a debug report when a crash is detected.
  
• Assorted tweaks.

Every time a level is completed, the time it took to finish is sent to a spreadsheet of mine, After analyzing more than 7000 games, I can plot the average completion time for each level:



It's not nice, it looks like a rollercoaster. More precisely, there's a spike in level 13 which might explain why so few people make it past episode 2.

Therefore, I reordered the levels so they now look like this:



I hope this makes the game much more enjoyable!

This is all thanks to the games you've been playing so far. Thank you very much!


Spent some dollars and got the game translated to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Catalan.
OK, the last two I did myself. Apologies for any mistakes.

If you want to see more languages, send me a message!


You can now play in windowed mode, so you can answer your emails while you think of galaxies.

CPU usage should be slightly lower, so fans might not need to kick in and you can enjoy a quieter evening.

Game was shutting down without warning after about 30 minutes, but not anymore.
Furthermore, if it happens again, it will allow you to send me a bug report and attach the execution log.

And a few more tweaks, new level complete sound, new Steam achievement badges, ...

This is it for today! Read you in the forums, and if not, see you in the next update!
