BOOK ROOM [図書室]
📚 A brand NEW Book Room has been added. Think of it like a library, but in Japanese schools it’s usually called 図書室 (toshoshitsu) instead of 図書館 (toshokan).
・You don’t rent books here, instead, you can freely read stories inside the room.
・Currently includes 2 N5 easy short stories.
・Future updates will bring longer, easier, and more challenging stories.
・There will also be a reading corner for those only knowing hiragana and katakana.
・Each story has optional quiz questions. Earn money for correct answers, lose a 1 yen if wrong.
・A jukebox lets you pick the music you’d like to read or study to.
・New paintings added (some photos I actually took in Japan!).
・The room is still tiny, but will grow with more stories, themes, and songs in future updates.

OTHER
・Fixed flickering Skilltree button during quizzes.
・New background music added outside the house.

See you in the next update!

Sometimes interacting with the calendar might take away all input from a character, requiring a restart of the game

Since we were (hopefully!) able to fix the performance issues at night that many players struggled with, we have a second small patch for you today. Further, the amount of prayers especially at night that many players reported as redundant during mid and late game was reduced.

---

• fixed the nightly performance issue bug

• reduced occurence of prayers in night and day per settlement

Dear community, the next major update V0.7.0 is finally complete, and I'm really happy that so many essential topics have been addressed in this update. In the last developer diary, you could already see the core points of the update, but as promised, a few surprises have been added that fit thematically very well into the update.

The new version fulfills a community request that has been expressed many times: seeing what drops as loot in the game instead of just collecting bags that are revealed at the end of the map.

As announced, the adventure publication process is changing. After an adventure has been validated by the creator with 3 stars, it can be published via the save dialog. Additionally, the adventure information (top left) has been revised to accurately reflect the current state.

Technically, a copy of the current adventure is created upon publication, so subsequent adjustments do not affect the published version. Only when the adventure is republished will it be overwritten.

From now on, rule violations can be reported and described. This allows us to administratively respond to inadmissible content.

Important: Adventures that were already in the release process at the time of the update still need to be validated by the creator with 3 stars and can then be published manually.

In preparation for the new league system, the League Token Shop is being introduced, and some of the rewards will be converted to the new tokens so that they can be actively spent in the shop. Even if the current rewards aren't "special" yet, we want to give you the opportunity to collect your first league tokens now.

The next major update will implement the new league system and include a variety of new loot items that can be used to permanently improve units and will also be occasionally offered in the League Token Shop.

This topic has never been raised as a major, important issue, but I've heard in individual conversations that players want a better gaming experience. This particularly affects sound effects, which have received little attention so far.

Both the inventory and the talent tree have received their first overhaul, and each item type now has its own sound effect.

In addition, the minimap interface has been redesigned and the current state of the stars has been added.

Over the past few months, it has been repeatedly noted that the 3-second countdown is annoying and has also shifted the times in the replay. From now on, there is no longer a cooldown and the timer no longer runs when the hero moves for the first time or performs a game interaction (e.g., a skill).

Two new Iguana monsters will be added in the next update. They are simple monsters with slow but relatively strong attacks and lightning damage.

This is the first cosmetic we plan to offer as a visual enhancement via the Steam Inventory System. Of course, many more cosmetic changes are planned to make fortresses look as unique as possible.

In the coming updates, more new room cosmetics, as well as themes and backgrounds, will be added.

As announced, this patch contains significant balancing changes, which primarily strengthen the weaker weapon types, greatsword and bow. As promised, there are very small changes to the Mage Staff's skills, including a complete overhaul of the Cold Ray, which penetrates enemies.

This major patch was pre-tested for the first time with a small, select group of players who showed great interest and commitment. I'm very grateful that the community initiated this process a few weeks ago – this allowed many bugs to be identified and fixed in advance. I will further improve this process in future major updates and establish an official beta build on Steam. Interested players are welcome to contact me for further details.

The next major update will primarily focus on the new league system. This will also include the Bestiary feature announced above, which will allow units to be permanently passively improved and customized.

If you have any ideas or comments, we would be delighted to hear your feedback. I will introduce the Bestiary in more detail in a separate post very soon.

I hope you enjoy the new Tormentis update!
