The Steam Fest is coming to an end, and we're still gathering feedback and improving Holy Grain for the official launch. This fine Sunday morning, I bring you something I DESPERATELY wanted—seriously, testing events was such a drag sometimes.

Changelog:
- CINEMATICS ENGINE FIXED: Sometimes cutscenes would freeze or loop endlessly. This bug had been haunting us since last September. I sat down, dug through the code, and finally fixed it. And since it’s working now, you can now skip cutscenes using the spacebar or "A" on a controller.
- We're still working on controller support. It's still a bit clunky, but we're making progress. Now combat is playable with a controller, though it’s a bit meh at the moment. But hey, if you want to try it, go ahead!
- Fixed some minor bugs.
- Added a new base castle event when passing by a castle.

Lots of changes have been made to the cinematics engine. I tested it, but obviously, I might have missed something. If the game gets stuck or crashes, let me know, pls.

Value adjustment: limited resource collection points, only collected items can be stored
BUG repair: after the building is moved, the transportation rules are reset
BUG repair: after the merchant ship returns to the port for trade, it occasionally displays the problem of returning to the port
BUG repair: after the pulpit is moved, the faith range becomes 0
BUG repair: the number of construction workers assigned to a single facility is too small, resulting in many construction workers resting

OK1 - Fix the problem of the red error message when the defeated commander is empty.

OK3 - Fix the problem of the Holy Roman Emperor asking for help from himself.

OK4 - In the looting war, the money in the hands of the lords will be obtained according to the proportion of the number of the lords' fiefs. If the number of fiefs is less than 5, then divide by 5.

OK7 - Fix the error caused by the success of the event of threatening others to give up their claims.

OK8 - The promulgation of the AI policy.

OK9 - Adjust the influence of morale on the war. Now the battalion morale, movement, and the commander's military ability affect the initiative order of the battalions. At the same time, morale also affects the damage dealt.

OK10 - Fix the problem that the anti-infantry and anti-cavalry effects do not take effect.

OK11 - Fix the problem that the charge effect does not take effect. After the soldiers launch an attack, the first quarter of the soldiers will enjoy the charge bonus.

OK13 - Fix the situation where the emperor of the empire appears on multiple battlefields due to events.

OK14 - Adjust the experience required for battalion upgrades. The higher the level, the more experience is needed.

OK15 - Add several relevant war traits.

OK16 - When engaging in combat, ranged units will always have the initiative first, and then the initiative order will be calculated. If both are ranged units, the initiative order will be calculated directly.

OK17 - The replenishment of the battalion's troops is associated with relevant traits.

OK18 - Fix some BUG issues related to the inheritance of the system mechanism.

OK19 - Add hover prompts for the reforms of the Holy Roman Empire.

OK20 - The looting war type will no longer require a claim. The looting cooldown time is changed to 2 years. Each time of looting has a 20% probability of increasing the notoriety by 1. The looting cooldown time for the Northmen is halved.

As always, these changes are based on your feedback, so keep it coming! The Sky Gun is now locked for a shorter time, as the Deep Dive mission where it gets repaired has been moved earlier, also making it clearer that it is broken and how to fix it. This update also introduces the Meteor Rain mission modifier, bringing fiery destruction from the sky. Plus, mission modifiers can now appear during loop events. You can now filter unachieved achievements for easier tracking, and UI improvements make tooltips, scrolling, and raid loadouts clearer. Lastly, Mech controls have been improved for greater flexibility.

[Bug Fixes]

2. Fixed a bug where the initial camera angle was disordered.
3. Fixed a bug where ships could not properly clear the fog of war.
4. Fixed a bug where labor and supplies icons were missing in some panels.

2. Adjusted the position of the main scene panel by placing the zombie attack warning panel and the countdown timer panel together.

10. When the ship enters a danger zone, its skull icon will turn orange.

With this update I am mostly looking for feedback on story direction for the end of Animus. If people find Emelio's actions here to be compelling then I will continue pushing this area until completion.

Known Issues

• Some audio queues in Emelio's Clash scene are missing.

New Content
• The Clash is now accessible after the Mossbacks scene all goes wrong. This area has a number of different routes based on how you played through the entire chapter. It also dynamically changes based on how you act through this room. Most things in Animus work like this but this room has a lot more complexity to it as it's the culmination of every potential route. For now Emelio's section is the only one available.
  
• Dialogue has changed for the Artifact in some areas.
  
• Some things in Animus are now remembered.
  
• All memories have been forgotten.
  
• All changes from Patch 1.0.9.64 have been merged into the public branch.

Bug Fixes
• Text has been updated to reflect you carrying a singular duck in a bathroom.
  
• There is no longer an incorrect audio check when music has ended.
  
• Steamdeck will now be more stable when dealing with audio assets.
  
• Steamdeck will now be more stable when dealing with large texture pages.

Bug Reporting
• Please report any issues on our official Discord at https://discord.gg/piratesoftware
  
• There is a channel called #heartbound-ticket where you can report stuff!
  
• Include a screenshot, it makes it much easier to fix!

Upcoming Content
• The rest of Animus (Chapter 3) is being actively developed.

• Version 2.0 takes a while, and I want to make a super stable version before version 2.0, because as soon as there are new features, there will be new bugs, and all new features will be released when there are almost no bug fixes.

Known issues

• Dock icon masks cannot follow global color changes after advanced editing
  
• Occasionally, the dock does not activate the window, and it is currently being investigated

• myfinder volume menu added the function of switching sound effects spatial sound effects,At present, this function is not due to the fact that there is no example on the network, even if it is AI,So every time this function is run, the sound will be stuck when it is displayed for the first time,The reason is that the background will switch all the spatial sound effects once to detect whether which sound effects are installed
  
• If the Win10 system to open this feature after the crash you can open the program installation directory config.ini file, search for "dockicoImmersion=1", delete this line of text to save and restart the computer can be!
  
• Win10 2004 before some systems may have a crash after opening the dock icon reflection, and even the task manager can not end the process, you can open the config.ini file in the program installation directory, search for "enable_iconreflection=1", delete this line of text and save it after restarting the computer
  
• Once the Trash is deleted, it can be re-added in the Add System icon
