Greetings Mages!

Since our first major update, we’ve made several quality-of-life improvements and gameplay adjustments based on your feedback. This patch focuses on refining mechanics, balancing spells, and enhancing the overall experience. Here’s what’s new:

• Integrated Steam Cloud: We've prioritized Steam Cloud integration based on community requests and moved it up in our roadmap. Now, our dear Mages can sync their saves seamlessly!
  

  Before syncing Steam Cloud, we recommend backing up your files just in case. This will allow you to recover them if any errors occur with Steam Cloud.
  
  Save Files Location: AppData/Local/RevengeOfTheMage\Saved\SaveGames

• Energy Detonation: We’ve received feedback about the ability and immediately revised it.
  
  • Lowered the animation sound volume.
    
  • Increased the effect area: 1.75m → 2.50m
    
  • Increased the cooldown to balance the effect: 2s → 4s
• Distinct Power-ups: Power-ups now always spawn as distinct types, preventing duplicates.
  
  
• Trap Spawning: Traps no longer spawn beneath the player at the start of the Pyramid Boss Fight.

• Cathedral Enemies Stuck: Enemies no longer get stuck on one of the nails in the Cathedral Multiverse’s center area.
  
  
• Cathedral Nails: Thanks to a community report, we fixed one of the nails in the Cathedral Multiverse that dealt unintended damage.
  
  
• Teleport Back Locations: Thanks to another community report, we fixed an issue where players would get stuck when teleporting back to the surface from off the map. Teleport locations for the Tokyo and Cathedral Multiverses have been updated.

• Forest Multiverse: To improve performance, we’ve temporarily removed towers and optimized enemies. In our internal tests though results may vary by system, this increased performance by an average of 20 FPS. This is not a permanent fix but will enhance the experience until a full solution is implemented.

• Fixes for All Languages: Since the Major Update we've revised localizations in all languages.

• Audio: The cat now purrs when petted—voiced by one of the dev team’s own cats! 😺

We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy the changes! Let us know if you run into any issues.

Happy casting!

—The Dev Team

Hey everyone,

First of all, thank you so much for all the love and support since the early access launch of Drive Beyond Horizons. It’s been incredible to see the passion and energy you’ve brought to the game!

We’ve discovered a critical issue with the old save system: after driving a bit over 100 kilometers, some save files become corrupted and can no longer save any further progress.

To solve this, we’re introducing a brand-new save system, built to be much more stable and reliable in the long run.

💾 What happens to your old save?
Your save isn’t completly lost. Instead of deleting it, we’ve preserved it in a dedicated Steam branch called oldsavesystem. If you’d like to finish an existing adventure, you can switch to that branch and continue from where you left off.
However, please note:

After driving a bit over 100 km, your progress will no longer be saved due to the critical bug.

If you load into the game and your car is missing, it means the save is already too corrupted, and unfortunately, it’s too late to recover it.

📌 We strongly recommend playing on the official version with the new save system to ensure a smooth and future-proof experience.

To help you switch branches if needed, we’ve posted screenshots with step-by-step instructions on how to access the oldsavesystem branch.

We know it’s frustrating to lose progress, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience. This was a tough call, but a necessary one to ensure a better experience moving forward.

❤️ Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and continued support. This is just the beginning — and we’re more committed than ever to making Drive Beyond Horizons the game you deserve.

This is how to switch on the branch:




🧭 And despite all this, we’ve got something new for you to enjoy:
We’ve added two brand-new points of interest to the world of Drive Beyond Horizons! You can see a preview of them just below — we hope you enjoy exploring them as much as we enjoyed creating them.




🔧 We’re also doing everything we can to improve overall game stability.
We’re actively working on fixing bugs related to tires, collisions, and other core systems. You can expect regular stability updates in the coming weeks — we won’t stop until these issues are fully resolved.

We hope your journey is going smoothly – because now Part 2 is taking off! 😎🌊 But before you sit back and relax, we present the hottest news for you:

🏝️ Campaign Part 2 The journey isn’t over yet: We’ve created 5 brand-new levels for you to showcase your skills. These challenges may not necessarily be harder – but they definitely require a creative approach to reach your perfect vacation paradise.



🏄 Surf Racing For all speed lovers, the special mission is back! Precision is key – can you beat your best time in Surf Racing?



✨ Trading Cards As a big highlight, we’re introducing the highly coveted trading cards! From unique backgrounds and emoticons to collectible cards – there’s something for everyone.



🐞 Bug Fixes & Optimizations In addition to the new features, we’ve squashed some bugs and further optimized the code so that your tourists can land on your islands even more smoothly. 🏝️🚀



🌞 Enjoy your stay! Thank you for choosing Summer Islands as your vacation destination! Look forward to tons of fun, sunshine, and the ultimate vacation vibes – right on your screen!
