This time we have a smaller update than usual, focusing on some of the newest issues that our community has reported.
Here's the fixlist:
Fix for the scene transitions.
Fix for UI handling.
Minor story fix.
Hardware store door trigger fixed.
Bramble monster collision model revised.
Hopefully this version is a more stable experience than the previous 1.1.9. If you find game stopping bugs or other severe issues, you can always leave a post at the Kalaban community.
Enjoy!
Birthday Sale
Hello there!
My birthday is coming up, so I decided to put Kalaban and its soundtrack on sale to celebrate it.
As you might now, Kalaban went largely unnoticed by the gaming press when it was launched, so since then I have strived to gain some recognition for it. Recently I added Kalaban to the HumbleBundle store, and I have tried to get it on GOG.com multiple times, but without results.
I've been especially happy to see new streamers and players taking on the game, and even seeing John Wolfe doing a video on it. I hope you guys enjoy the newest version of the game, and I'm happy to hear that there is some demand for a sequel or a follow-up for this type of game.
If you have suggestions for improving the game, or some requested features, I'd be happy to hear them.
Happy spring, everyone!
- Harri J.

Hello there!
We've been working on "The Last Patch" for Kalaban, which will fix a larger number of issues that we've had in the game for a long time.

The game will remain in Steam, but Rayhouse Productions will no longer answer to support requests.

After death glitch fixed.
Foreground roof effects improved.

Added swaying trees effect.

Junkyard Bros achievement fixed.
Minor graphical inventory fixes.
Minor dialogue UI fix.
Steam Trading Cards added!
Hello there!
We've finally added Steam trading cards to the game. They're a wanted item with every game release these days, so we figured it's time.
Adding the cards also meant adding badges, backgrounds and emoticons for the game. Especially the emojis were an absurd but fun task to design. Fans of the game will definitely recognize the items included.
Depending on the popularity of these items and our future sales, we might do a couple more cards for the game.
Version 1.1.4 released!
Hello! This one is a smaller patch, but it fixes couple of story and performance bugs that we noted.
We're currently working on Steam Trading Cards, so that's coming in some future update too. Keep an eye out!
