Hello folks!

Following the success of our presence in the meat space at WASD, we're bringing our corporeal forms back for EGX (which probably stands for Exciting Games... Xylophone?) in London on October 25th until the 27th!

A whole weekend of gaming fun awaits! We'll be showing a bunch of Playtonic titles!

Come and play:

Victory Heat Rally! - Retro Racing, recently released to much excitement!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1594060/Victory_Heat_Rally/

Dunk Dunk! - Silly Basketball Chaos for making friends/enemies!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2410590/Dunk_Dunk/

Cattle Country! - Cozy cowboy farming, also going in to Open Beta on the same day!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2818150/Cattle_Country/

Yooka-Replaylee! - A love letter to a 3D platforming love letter to 3D platformers of old!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448020/YookaReplaylee/

We'll also be hosting a panel to talk about the evolution of Playtonic over the last 10 years! Playtonic Friends Brand Manager Anni Valkama will be talking with Fluffy Laylee artist Steve Mayles, software's very own Simon Gerges, the King of Kongs, artist Kev Bayliss and Playtonic's glorious leader, co-founder Gavin Price (who appears to be attempting some form of Camo Cloak in his promo selfie?)



Come along and say hi, play some games, tell us they're good, or tell us they're bad, but mostly good, please. But be honest! But not too honest. Just come and play them. Play all the games. We'll sort the rest out later!

• "I'll do my best" option now has audio and takes you to the forest
  
• All dragon pit related options now work when you have 1 or more dragon pit related endings

Additionally, I have reduced the resolution on some objects to slightly reduce the file size so the game could be released on Itch.io as well, they were very out of the way objects and shouldn't be noticeable

2. Adjustments to solo small bosses
The periodic time to remove stiffness has been increased by 1.5s
The duration of the self-added control-free buff has been reduced by 5s
Displacement sprint, cross slash, and on-the-spot stab are guaranteed not to be released continuously

9. Fix the boss evacuation door in the stone in the solo map
10. The exchangeable items of the first-level favorability merchant are open

Bug fixes
1. There is a certain probability of crash fix in the loading interface when disconnecting and reconnecting
2. If the server crashes, it will no longer automatically rematch the battle when bouncing back to the lobby
3. Potential crash fix when operating medicine

Do you hear the call of fortune, Brave Ones?

The market is bustling today. The mysterious merchant, who gives rewards to heroes in exchange for ancient relics, has decided to hold a sale! Therefore, many brave adventurers have rushed to claim their rewards for exploring Singoru!

From October 4 to 7, 12:00 UTC, obtaining explorer rewards will be more profitable by up to 20%! This way, you can spend fewer Ancient Relics and receive more rewards!

May luck be with you, heroes!

Hey,

It's time for an update on what's going on with Lorn Vale's Closed Playtest.

It's been a while since the announcement of the game.
Thank you for your patience and your interest in the game, and while we hoped to let all players who signed up play the early version of the game in October, it turns out we need more time.

We don’t have a set date for the Playtest yet, but as soon as we have one, you’ll be the first to know.

Starting in January, we’ll share monthly dev diaries to show you our progress.
These updates will give you an inside look at the work we’re doing -whether through videos, written updates, or both.

If you haven't signed up yet, there's still plenty of time.
You can sign up here:

We, Gritty Games, are a team of two.

This project is guided by the philosophy that we want to fill the game with many different gameplay systems, allowing you to discover sometimes even unexpected synergies between them.

But that kind of approach means the creative process is sometimes unpredictable, and some elements take more time.

We are focused on adding more systems, and more content to the world, to let you enjoy and experience what the game is truly about.



In the meantime - please join our Discord if you didn't do that yet. (It's our go to platform to gather your precious feedback)
Wishlist our game on Steam, join our Newsletter
and follow us on X, cause even though we need more time, to let you in to the world of Lorn Vale, we're going to share some bits and pieces of what's behind the scenes in the development.
