Sept 2nd News and Patch notes.
I'd like to welcome all our new players to Akaneiro who are taking advantage of the Steam 50% off sale. Remember, if there's anything you need or any problems, you can post in the discussions or contact Spicy Horse directly at the support website.... https://spicyhorsegames.zendesk.com
So, the food sale ended today. I hope you all managed to pick up some bargains and kill many more Yokai than usual.
Also in today's small patch, you will notice that ALL Crystal events have been multiplied by 5. Things cost x5 more now, but also your totals are now x5 bigger. This allows us to sell things more cheaply, as in the past, 1 cryatal was worth $0.10, now it's worth $0.02. :)
Cheers

Linux Fix and Status on a Few Bugs
Yesterday, we made a small patch to the Steam Linux Installer: The issue was with the line endings in the script that runs the game. Our version control system had converted the line endings from LF (as required for Linux) to CRLF (as used on Windows) so the script did not execute correctly. Steam will automatically download this update and the game will run.
Any additional problems with Linux, please report to http://support.spicyhorse.com so that our Linux engineer sees them directly.
Later this week or early next week (we have a lot of UI work to do!) we'll be implementing a patch that includes the following new features and bug fixes:
- Chat will be re-opened and functional
- Kickstarter exclusive backer items will be made available
- A significant reduction in the price of cooldowns
- Crafting, Phase 1 - Phase 1 allows you to alter the attributes of your items. Phase 2, due in 3-5 weeks will allow you to level up your items.
- More characters slots - until they are open, you will lose your Starter Pack items if you delete your character.
- A fix for the stutter and framerate lag seen by Steam users.
- Unbreakable gates will now be breakable.
A few additional notes:
- Shinigami Scrolls are missing - they are not missing, it is a UI error. A fix will be coming in the future.
- Sound and graphic settings not persisting - a fix will be coming in the future.
- Some enemies leave the map before you can kill them - yes, but they are never the enemies you need to finish a quest.
Thank you again for all of your help and feedback. We will continue to work diligently to fix problems as quickly as possible while adding new content to be tested.

Our First Day - FAQ and Known Bugs
Why $10? Our initial launch of Akaneiro across our SpicyWorld platform and Kongregate, though successful, simply hasn’t provided us with the necessary feedback to prepare the game for the next stage, for crafting and co-op. When Valve discussed placing Akaneiro in the Early Access program, we saw this as an opportunity to leverage the experience of the Steam community before opening the game to a wider audience.
What about Kickstarter backers? As a Kickstarter backer, you’ve already “paid” for the game once. We’re not going to ask you to pay a second time. If you wish to play Akaneiro on Steam now, e-mail Ophelea and she will provide you with the necessary key.
Can I transfer my account from SpicyWorld/Kongregate? No. This is simply not possible as it breaks the Terms of Service with Valve. We cannot move account information from one platform to another.
What about Groupees participants? If you are a Groupees beta tester and wish to receive your free Karma for beta testing, please contact Ophelea and she will provide you with the necessary key.
What are the known bugs?
- Linux – dual monitors are not supported and may crash your system
- Framerate lag is occurring on some high-end systems. If this occurs, please submit a ticket to http://support.spicyhorse.com
- Some gates are unbreakable. This is not consistent for all players.
- If you should delete your first character, you WILL lose your Starter Pack items. Please keep this in mind when creating characters.
When is the next build coming and what does it contain? The next build is due in 7-10 days. It will include fixes to the above issues where appropriate, as well as Area 7 and Phase 1 of Crafting. We will keep you posted.
If you have any questions beyond the above, please contact us through our support site at http://support.spicyhorse.com or by e-mailing Ophelea at Ophelea@spicyhorse.com.
