Attention Lightbringers!

Looking for different dungeons to explore?

Ember’s publisher, 505 Games, has just launched a new game that you might want to try out. It’s Underworld Ascendant and it’s made by the same devs who created games like Thief, System Shock and the Underworld series. It’s a first-person dungeon crawler where there’s no one way to succeed. Build your skill trees to sneak, fight or use magic to survive a world of traps, monsters and puzzles as you work to become the Ascendant.

There are bonus items and a 15% discount for the first week, so go check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/692840/Underworld_Ascendant/

- fixed caps lock interfering with some shortcut keys

Ember 1.041 Update

Along with today's sale, we're releasing an update to Ember with some of the most requested features from the community as well as the usual bug fixes and tweaks:

- all shortcut keys can be rebound in the in-game "Shortcut Keys" menu
- added a "Windowed Fullscreen" option under Graphics
- added a key to toggle walking/running, Shift by default
- modified how XP Boost is gained to prevent some exploits
- reduced memory usage to avoid "out of memory" crashes on some systems

Note that the first time you load your savegame in 1.041 the load may take a little longer than normal, as it has to spend some time patching your save game to the latest version of the world.
