Steam Deck Test Build 1.9.10
Today's build updates the remaining UI in the game to make it more readable on Steam Deck. I'm going to spend some time testing this build before releasing it to the main branch. My hope is to do that this weekend.

Steam Deck Test Build
This test branch build has some updates based on Valve's feedback on HammerHelm running on Steam Deck. Mostly UI updates to make the text easier to read and automatically opening the on-screen keyboard when you need to enter text. This build also has a couple of fixes for bugs I discovered while testing on the steam deck. Those fixes are also in the main build (1.9.9) that I released earlier.

To get the test build:
  • In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
  • Click Preferences
  • In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
  • Enter the password to download this build - steamdeck111- and click Check Code

You should get a message that the code is correct
  • Click the drop-down box and select BigUpdateTest
  • Steam should immediately start a new download with the test client. The new game should be called "HammerHelm [bigupdatetest]". Once the download is complete you can launch the game and you should see "1.9.9" in the title screen.

This build is 100% compatible with current saves. So you can safely use any save you want with this test build.

If you are using a Steam Deck, you'll know you have the correct build as the Steam Deck logo will appear on the bottom right of the Play Screen and next to your Health bar in the main game. The latter image will go away once I release this build on the main branch. It's there just for testing.

To get back to the main build:
  • In the Steam Client Library where it lists all of your games, right click on HammerHelm
  • Click Preferences
  • In the window that opens, select the "Betas" Tab
  • Choose “None” from the drop down
  • Steam should then revert back to the main client

Build 1.9.9 - Combat Fixes
This is a quick build to fix two issues that I found while testing HammerHelm on the Steam Deck. This bugs were likely occurring in the main build so I made this update to post now rather than wait until my Steam Deck update is ready.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused your character to stop attacking and reset even though you were holding down the controller "attack" button.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused monsters to run in place if you ran out of their attack range right before they tried to attack.

I'm also working on a Steam Deck update to resolve some of the issues that Valve found, including auto launching the keyboard when asked to enter text and lots of UI improvements to make the UI more readable. These UI updates will help make the PC version easier to read too. I have a bad habit of using small text in a lot of the UI and I really shouldn't as it's bad for accessibility. So I'm using this as a catalyst to go through and update the UI.

I hope to have the Steam Deck build up on the test branch soon!

Build 1.9.4 - Townspeople UI Fixes
Tonight's build includes a couple of fixes to the townspeople manager.

Build 1.9.3 - Combat fix
Tonight's build fixes a bug that could cause enemy spellcasters to get into a bugged state if they were the only monster left at the start of a fight, making them invulnerable to damage. This was most noticeable with the Lich battle in the Scarecrow quest if you died and then re-engaged the Lich.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the T-Section Stone Tower to not correctly delete when attempting to delete it.
  • Fixed a bug that caused an erroneous red footprint to sometimes appear in your town.
