Einlanzer turns 1 year old today! With over 900 sales worldwide and still 100% positive reviews on Steam, I couldn't be happier with its success.
Commemorating Einlanzer's birthday:
Einlanzer is on sale for the next 5 days!
Brand new, unique third ending to be released within the week!
Please spread the word, spend a few minutes writing a review if you haven't already, and check back in a couple days for the new ending!

Thank you to everyone for making Einlanzer so successful! Every review, comment, and sale means so much to me! I often feel as though the gaming community is irredeemably toxic, but I have to admit I have had nothing but positive experiences with the Einlanzer community since it was released!
Thank you so much,
Andrew Ryan Henke

Update v. 1.208
Festival of Giving rewards are here! Speak to the mayor of Alm to receive your rewards if you donated!
Little else is changed in this update other than the festival rewards. However, I'm currently working on a new third ending for the game that will be just as epic, unique, and interesting as the original two endings. Look for that soon!
Thank you for being patient in waiting for this update while I was trapped in Iceland. I'm safe and home now. Iceland is an AMAZING place, by the way. If you ever get a chance to visit... do!
As always, if you could take a couple minutes to write a review of Einlanzer on Steam, that helps tremendously!
Happy adventuring!
Festival of Giving rewards delayed 1 day. :-(
The end of the Festival of Giving is supposed to be on January 8th. All the files are built and ready to be uploaded to the Steam server. However... I am stranded in Iceland until the evening of the 9th without my laptop. Winter storms forced Delta to cancel my flight. Therefore, my honeymoon is extended for 4 days (yey!), but I must postpone the festival rewards (sad). If all goes well, expect the update with the rewards Tuesday evening.
As an apology, I will let you in on a secret. If you payed for the max donation (200,000g), there is a choice that gives you one of two rewards. Try both decisions by quitting and loading your save game to see each reward.
Thank you for your understanding! I will post some honeymoon pics of me and my wife here for fun! :-)
Festival of Giving!
Welcome to the Festival of Giving! During this calendar event, the people of Alm have redecorated festively, and the whole world of Einlanzer has donated magical, one-of-a-kind items for purchase. These items can be bought from the mayor of Alm. The gold for these items goes to feed poor and less-fortunate families all across the world of Einlanzer.
The catch? You must give your gold without knowing what you will receive. Prizes will be given out after the event ends on January 8th, 2018.
There are six tiers of items to purchase, going all the way up to 200,000 gold (the reward for which will be very VERY unique!) All of the prizes are new and one-of-a-kind!
Go start farming that gold because the event ends January 8th, after which the unique items will never be able to be obtained again!
Author Reading Live from Einlanzer's Script!
EDIT: From that night:

I have been asked to be a guest speaker at "A Novel Idea" in Canton, GA today. I will be reading a scene from Einlanzer of which I've done a novelization specifically for this event.
I'll have three copies of Einlanzer to give away as prizes and my fantasy books will be on sale at heavily discounted prices! I'll see you at 7PM!
Last day for Yvalakoween!
Yvalakoween ends at midnight tonight (11-12-2017 at 12:00am EST), so get those unique items before they are never available again!
Welcome to Yvalakoween! (Calendar Event)
The kingdom of Fusilier is now celebrating its yearly Yvalakoween festival. On this holiday, the citizens of Fusilier dress up like spooky monsters from the Abyss, the realm of the sea god Yvalak. It's tradition to demand candy treats from everyone you meet or else they suffer "poison" Abyss water being splashed on them.
The ghosts, witches, and creepy Abyss Sahagin fish monsters are of the woodwork all across the kingdom of Fusilier within the game. Find each character dressed up for Yvalakoween to get candy that you can spend on unique, Halloween-themed items that will only be available during this event!
There is also a unique scripted "Haunted House" event that will be so terrifying that Victor might just go mad (and you too, for that matter).
4 Unique Halloween-themed weapons
6 Unique Halloween-themed armor and accessories
Dozens of new spooky NPCs to trick or treat with
Lots of new secrets and events to discover around Fusilier
Massive haunted house event
New art!
New music!
Yvalakoween will be over on November 12th, so get that unique equipment and experience the haunted house before the event is ended!
Halloween Calendar Event is Coming! (Yvalakoween)
Starting October 15th, the kingdom of Fusilier has a long-standing holiday called Yvalakoween. On this holiday, the citizens of Fusilier dress up like horrible, scary monsters from the Abyss, the realm of the sea god Yvalak. It's tradition to demand candy treats from everyone you meet or else you splash "poison" Abyss water on them.
The ghosts, witches, and creepy Abyss fish monsters will come out of the woodwork all across the kingdom of Fusilier within the game. Find each character dressed up for Yvalakoween for candy that you can spend to get unique, Halloween-themed items that will only be available during this event! There will also be many hidden, spooky events across Fusilier to find to get even more candy to spend!
There will also be a unique "Haunted House" of sorts that will probably be so terrifying that the characters, and possibly even you, will go mad afterwards. We'll see... ;-)
4 Unique weapons
6 Unique Equipment

Einlanzer v1.203 is live!
Dear Adventurers,
Version 1.203 is now live! This update has some fairly big balancing tweaks which I encourage you to read below.
Buffed Armor and Magic Resist!
A general sense from most everyone who has played Einlanzer is that the armor does not quite make a big enough difference. In this update, all headgear, bodygear, and defensive accessories have a 10% increase to their defense and magic resist. Enjoy being more tanky! :-)
Reduced Enemy Speed
Another general consensus from most players is that enemies are too fast - especially on hard. Every enemy's speed has been reduced slightly to give you a better chance of being faster even if you don't have some Boots of Speed equipped.
Stronger Victor!
Victor's ultimate Rages Undying Rage and Perfect Rage were recently nerfed. This was required to fix an invincible Victor build that wasn't intended to be a viable strategy. In response, I have now buffed him in another way. All classes, subclasses, and on all difficulties, Victor now has 10% more strength! He now, by far, has the highest strength stat of any character by default.
Void Bow on Ratt Bug
There was a bug with Ratt where you could equip the Void Bow and still have 100% accuracy. Ratt's base accuracy is now 105% to fix this.
Buffed Provoke
Lastly, the Provoke skill is a very important skill in Einlanzer, especially depending on how you build your characters. A complaint was made that it didn't have enough effect. Provoke used to buff a character's target rate by 600%, it now buffs it by 700%. This effect DOES stack with Intimidation Broach (which doubles target rate to make Provoke now do 1,400%).
Happy adventuring! Look for another small update soon with a new, beautifully made world map.
If you haven't already, please take a couple minutes to write a review of Einlanzer. It helps tremendously!
Update Details:
Lowered every enemy's speed slightly
Made end boss (all forms) slightly less powerful
Buffed Victor's attack by 10% for all difficulties and subclasses
Lowered Ratt's accuracy to 105%. This fixes the error with the Void bow being too accurate on him.
All armor has 10% more defense and magic resist.
Provoke buffed to multiplly user's target rate 700% now instead of 600%.
Update soon!
I've officially started work on a new game (this time teamed with another indie developer), so updates have been a bit less frequent recently for Einlanzer. I'm also starting a masters and starting several other personal projects... so time is a bit limited
Anyway, a new update addressing some balancing issues will be up soon. Also, the developer I've partnered with is working on a MUCH better world map for Einlanzer. I'm excited for it.
If you haven't already, please spend a few minutes reviewing Einlanzer. It helps tremendously
Below are a couple SUPER early pre-alpha screenshots of the new, so-far untitled game. Enjoy! :-)
