修复因角色或敌人太近导致无法行动的BUG

Have a great morning, everyone!
This day is special, not just for me, but for you as well - as we finally awaken into the nightmares of Thornkeep Isle.

After almost two years of development, the time has finally come for the game to leave my living room and present itself to the public.

Shadows of Thornkeep is very special to me. It’s a niche, long forgotten genre of grid based dungeon crawling, with a creepy atmosphere and punishing difficulty, exactly how I imagined it since I was a kid. Seeing it released is a true fulfillment of my dream.

---

Shadows of Thornkeep was designed as a minimalistic, easy to pick up dungeon crawler that offers short adventures with around 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay each.
The stat and character system was simplified so everyone can understand it at a glance, making the genre more accessible to a wider audience while still retaining the essence of oldschool dungeon crawling.

As we’ve just reached the game’s Early Access stage, it currently offers around 12 hours of gameplay before reaching the “endgame” phase. You can keep grinding afterward, but don’t worry, more content is coming at a rapid pace.

---

The first week after the EA release will be dedicated to bug fixing and polishing, as I’m sure you players will find things to complain about and i ll do my best, to adress all of your concerns.
After that, development will move toward the endgame phase and you can check the roadmap pinned in the community hub. Don’t worry, a lot of content is already prepared, so we’ll be progressing together quickly.

---

That’s about it for today!
I can’t wait to see you all playing the game, asking questions, and sending requests. I’ve wanted to make an oldschool crawler for about 30 years and this is it, the moment I’ve been waiting for. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

With regards,
Tryzna

Adventurers,

A new beta branch update has been pushed for patch 0.9.0 this adds the feature of repeatable contracts fully into the game.

For now this initial batch can be found in the forest biome specifically around medium and hard difficulty goblin and orc contracts. This is the first component to the repeatable contracts being added since now that the tech is available expect to see a lot entering into the game next week across all the locations.

For the full patch notes you can find them here.

The repeatable contracts will have a chance to reappear after a set amount of time. Currently at least 7 days for many of them. You will also see a much smaller list of contracts available for grabbing in each town that rotates daily but the list has been prioritized to show the contracts that you can take over ones that you cannot.

Also, several contracts have been moved around in preparation for some of the final location based threats. This isn't fully completed yet, but you will see some of the changes in the overall gameplay early on.

As mentioned, these contracts are more simplified, and less story driven in their details but in next week's patch there will be many more really fleshing out location specific areas.

Thanks again for your patience and hope to get a lot more in now that the feature is complete and more content can be added. Due to this it may sit on the beta branch an extra week while the content is added to and tuned.
