Anniversary Update
Hello everyone! Today exactly three years ago Hero's Story Early Access was released on Steam. During this time 37 updates were released, in which many game mechanics, levels, enemies and various items were added. The game settings have been completely redesigned, inventory and a save system have been added, a lot of bugs have been fixed, weather effects have been added. New Steam achievements, bosses and destructible objects have been added. I would like to thank all the players who have supported me all these years, left their feedback, share screenshots and just explored the vast world of Teandria! Of course, I don't plan to stop there, and today I present to you anniversary update of Hero's Story Early Access. In it I fixed some critical bugs, added fall damage and hints at the beginning of the game, and also introduced a new character class - Cleric!
Let's take a closer look at some points.
NEW CLASS
Clerics of the Order of Light have long been famous for their wisdom and mercy. These formidable warriors do not have obvious advantages, but also do not have strong disadvantages, which makes them universal warriors. Clerics also use healing spells more effectively.
FALL DAMAGE
Fall damage is another mechanic from earlier versions of the game, as well as one of the main mechanics in any modern game. Depending on how fast your character was moving, he will receive different amount of damage. At the moment, you can't die from falling in the game.
PUMPKIN COLLECTOR RETURNS
The annual event returns on the eve of the Halloween holiday. This time there will be no Pumpkin Skeletons waiting for you around the corner, but there will be a few more Pumpkins in the game world. Let me remind you that collecting pumpkins is not only pleasant, but also useful - after all, 10 of them are needed to get the achievement of the same name. And what kind of soup is obtained from them!
[Full list of changes will be available later]
Also I am happy to announce that now all of my games are on sale until 25th of October! Have fun! Your Silent.

Beta Update #13
Hello, heroes!
Today I uploaded a new update for Hero's Story Early Access. Creating this update was fraught with various difficulties - both physical and technical, but I coped! I managed to add switching of the current weapon for the player character, update the settings menu during the pause (similar to the main menu) and add new graphics settings to the settings menu. I also slightly changed the balance of the enemies and fixed some bugs in the program code to make the combat system feel more interesting. The full list of changes can be found below.
General
Now it will be easier for players to pick up different items
Now player's character can't attack without weapon
Now it will be easier for many enemies to spot player's character
Settings window in pause menu was updated
Additions
Added ability to switch current weapon (1-3 keys)
Added additional graphics settings in Settings menu
Balance
Increased minimum damage, inflicted to skeleton archers
Increased minimum damage, inflicted to skeleton sorcerers
Bosses will never lose player's character sight again
Bugfixes
Minor fixes
Now let's take a closer look at some points.
Updated Settings
The settings menu in the main menu of the game was updated a long time ago, and now, finally, the update has reached the pause menu during the game! Let me remind you that the new menu not only looks beautiful, but also more convenient in terms of the arrangement of elements.
Weapon Switching
At the moment, there are three types of weapons available to the character in the Hero's Story game - main, additional and ranged. The sword remains the main one in the current version, a faster dagger acts as an additional one, while the bow allows you to attack enemies from a distance!
New Settings
Also, at the request of the players, I decided to add some necessary settings to the game - such as limiting the drawing area of some objects (which especially affects performance in open spaces) and vertical synchronization, which is disabled by default.
Have fun! Your Silent.
Announcement
Greetings, heroes!
As you know, I was planning to release the next update for Hero's Story in July. It was supposed to include combat system changes, updated ingame settings and some bugfixes. However, for various reasons, it was not possible to release the update on time. Now it will be released in August. This will not affect the release date of the game - full version of Hero's Story will be released when the game is really ready.
Thanks for attention. Take care!

Beta Update #12
Hello, heroes!
Today I uploaded a new update for Hero's Story Early Access. It includes a new location - Flame Keep, mechanics of traps and destructible objects, important fixes. Special attention in this update was paid to the optimization of the game - unnecessary objects were removed from the game levels, as well as the settings of physics, lighting and draw distance were changed to increase the overall stability of the game and the number of frames per second. I remind you that if you have performance issues, you can lower the graphics settings in the settings menu! The full list of changes can be found below.
Additions
Display of the current level's name was added
New location: Flame Keep
New game mechanics: Traps
New game mechanics: Destructible Objects
New game mechanics: ???
New item: Fire Protection Potion
New type of Treasure Chests was added
Balance
Reduced the distance from which fire burns the player's character
Optimization
Changed physics, lighting and draw distance settings for some objects
Disabled some unused engine plugins
Removed some unused objects from levels
Bugfixes
Fixed a bug when enemies in Endless Desert couldn't reach player's character
Fixed a bug when enemies in Ancient Tomb couldn't reach player's character
Fixed a bug when enemies in Goblin Mines couldn't reach player's character
Fixed a bug when players could open treasure chests from the distance
Inapropriate visual effect was disabled while hitting the spiders
Minor fixes
Known issues
Sometimes Boss AI gets stuck
Monsters on some levels move way far from their initial positions
Now let's take a closer look at some points.
Flame Keep
This mighty fortress was carved right into the stone by ancient fierce warriors. Someone turned on the defense system of the Flame Keep, and now only the most dexterous adventurers can get to its treasures! The entrance to the Flame Keep is located in the Endless Desert in the mountains.
Deadly traps
Traps are one of Hero's Story's longstanding mechanics that has finally been brought to the new engine. In the current version, there are three types of traps - moving, fire and static. As a rule, the traps are causing bleeding on the player's character. Be careful not to get caught!
Destructible objects
The cosmetic game mechanic, however, can be useful for clearing narrow passages, finding hidden treasures, and just for fun. Now you can destroy a strictly limited number of objects, but it is possible that in the future their number may increase!
Have fun! Your Silent.
