Another long update video coming soon!

Hi all! I know I've been quiet lately, but as you know I took a break after that 10 week slog to fix the #$^%$#ING WINDOWS 10 BUG GYAHHH but I had a great rest and I've been back on the horse the past week or so. Not much to say so far as it's all super boring bugfix stuff and not much else, but I thought I'd give you all a shout since we've had a real surge of new interest in the game recently (which is awesome) so welcome to all of the new players! Lots of activity over on the official forums, too, which I sit on most days. Great to see...

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi, let you know things are ticking over well, and the next update video you all get from me will be a little bit special. I'll leave it as a surprise, though. Should be out in just over a week :D

I hope you're all doing well and killing some Ogres!

Ermaghad! Merkrerserft!

The Windows 10 fix update is now live :D

So much rage at Microsoft right now...

Almost done with this damn Windows 10 CE workaround patch. This has honestly been the most frustrating thing I have ever had happen during this entire game's development.

Do you think Microsoft have been responding to my bug reports? Not on your life.

Anyway, once it's out I'll give you lot a full rundown video and finally be able to get back stuck into the 1.0 build with all of its juicy optimizations and whatnot.

Thanks all for your amazing patience on this.

A fix has been found!

Thanks to the help of the community, I've managed to come up with a fix for the video issue that has been affecting some users! It'll take a little bit of work to implement, but the solution is now known, and a fix is being built :D Thank you everyone who helped pitch in to solve this issue!

AMD/Windows 10 issue

Hi all, just letting everyone know, there seems to be a strange conflict happening between the latest Windows 10 patch and the newer series of AMD video drivers which can cause lock-ups in Malevolence. Just to let everyone know, I know about the issue and are working hard to find a solution with the help of a few key forum members who are having the problem.

The Enchantment Update is LIVE! :D

Hi all! After a HUGE amount of work, the enchantment update is finally LIVE to the public! Here's my traditional update video to explain what to look for!

And here's the full list of everything that's been done in this update:

http://msoaupdates.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/major-update-015338-april-22nd-2017.html

As per normal, I'll be keeping an eye out for any major issues you have and will likely roll out a hotfix within the next day or two to fix anything glaring.

Other than that, I'm now going to get to work on the 1.0 update! Finally, this project is winding down!

No update?

"Where's the update, Alex??? You've been quiet!" I hear you say...

That's because we've been testing and fixing things like crazy, but it's because the enchantment update will finally be LIVE to all of you ready for this weekend!

Stay tuned for my usual video update shenanigans once it goes live!

p.s.

Special mention to the test team here, who have been my absolute heroes with this update. It made some really, REALLY hairy bugs turn up because of how intricate the enchantment system can get, and those guys really put in the hard yards to make sure it all worked for me! BIG thank you to them all!
