Manafinder's first patch has been released!
Thank you all so much for playing Manafinder! And thanks for reporting bugs! I've released the first patch that addresses most of the reported bugs so far.
Fixed an issue where under certain conditions you may be able to spend a Blessing Point on an already acquired blessing, thus wasting your BP.
Fixed an issue where additional Blessings under Allaror's TP Category would not be unlocked.
Fixed an issue where saying "No" to Dama the first time would disable battle commands.
Fixed an issue where using attacks that target multiple enemies against the Shrubs and Shrubhogs made the fight endless.
Fixed an issue where resting the second time at Illia's Cauldron won't allow you to go to sleep.
Fixed an issue where saving your game was accidentally disabled near the Point of No Return.
Fixed an issue where Octavius would cast Sharpen on Hexa instead of himself.
Fixed an issue where the "Taunt" ability by the Woodbois may freeze the game.
Fixed an issue where the text indicating the Sanctuary's basement ladder is locked would not be translated when switching languages. (Spanish)

Manafinder's launch discount ends tomorrow, upcoming patch, and other news!
First of al I would like to thank you all for your support! Thanks for all your kind words, sharing your playthroughs, impressions, reviews, etc. I'm loving them!
There are a couple of news I would like to share with all of you.
Launch Discount Ending Tomorrow
The launch discount will be ending tomorrow at 10:00am PDT.
I am preparing a patch that will address the reported issues, plus a few other issues I've been made aware of. I'm really sorry to all of you that ran into a bug, and I hope that none was severe enough to dampen your experience.
I will try to release the patch later this week, or early next week (depending on how long it takes to me to squash the bugs).
Soundtrack
I am in the process of getting the soundtrack approved for sale here on Steam! It unfortunately takes some time to go through the approval process, so it probably won't be up for sale here until next week.
In the meantime you can listen to (and obtain) the soundtrack at Calamrespaciales's bandcamp! (That is Manafinder's composer official bandcamp btw).
Steam Deck Support
Based on the demo, and what players have been telling me... Manafinder is compatible with the Steam Deck! :)
As of today there is no way to formally request Valve to review a game for official information about Steam Deck support, so I don't know how long it will take them to display the game as Deck Verified.
Mac and Linux Support
I will be looking into this later this year. Right now my priority is fixing bugs! But I hear you! I will announce it once it's official and I have more details about this. I just wanted you to know that I have not forgotten about this.
I really hope you keep enjoying Manafinder! And once again, thank you so much for playing!
Manafinder is now available with a 15% launch discount!
Manafinder has now been released on Steam with a 15% price discount that will last for one week! Thank you everyone for your support! 🥳
I hope you enjoy this turn-based RPG adventure filled with drama, intrigue, magic, dragons, cosmic beings, and whatnot! 🐲⚔️
My priority after launch will first be addressing any bugs or issues that may arise. Afterwards I will look into porting to Mac and Linux.
If you enjoy the game you can support us by spreading the word and leaving a review! All those things help a lot!
Once again, thank you, and happy manafinding!
Manafinder will be released tomorrow!
As mentioned last month, Manafinder will finally be released tomorrow! I am so excited, and I hope you are too. If you haven't added Manafinder to your wishlist, please do so: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1582410/Manafinder/
I am really grateful to everyone who has followed Manafinder's journey, and I hope you enjoy the full game when it is released tomorrow.
Here are some important updates:
The game will launch at 10am PDT (maybe earlier, but at least the game should be available by 10am PDT!)
The game will be priced at $13.99 USD, however it will launch with a 15% discount, so it will cost around $11.82 the first week!
Unfortunately the soundtrack is still being reviewed by Steam, therefore it is likely that it won't be released until later this week or until early next week.
You can also help us by spreading the word about Manafinder! :)
HYPE!
Steam demo deactivation on 09/28
Manafinder will be released this October 5 2022, which also means that the time has finally come to delist the demo from Steam. Said deactivation will happen this week on 09/28. I've prepared an FAQ to answer any potential questions and concerns you may have about this. Also, feel free to drop a comment below so I can answer any additional question you may have!
Why now, so near the release date?
I've been meaning to deactivate it earlier, however the demo was a great way to showcase the game on a couple of events, such as the Seattle Indies Expo 2022 which just happened on 09/24: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/six2022
That unfortunately left a very small window between said events and actual release.
Why not leave the demo up?
The demo and final build have diverged significantly since January/February 2022. While at a first glance they make look very similar, "behind the scenes" there have been some changes. But most importantly, see the question below about the save file.
Can I transfer my save file to the full release?
Short answer: No, at least I don't recommend it for two reasons: 1. You will miss some Steam achievements activation. 2. Save file may cause some bugs further down the line, specially if your save file is from the earlier releases (2021) of the demo.
I understand this is not ideal, and I apologize for this in advance. I'm happy to hear your comments here, and if this is a very contentious point I will definitely try to the best of my abilities to provide alternatives such as perhaps providing a save file that leaves you near the end of the demo.
But I want to try out Manafinder before buying it!
If you really really insist on still trying the demo even after reading the warnings above, then know that I will leave the demo up on other non-storefront websites, such as rpgmaker.net
Alternatively, the demo was picked up by a couple of gamers that posted their playthroughs on YouTube! Example:
Thank you all for understanding and supporting Manafinder. I really hope that you enjoy the final release! And remember, I am happy to hear you out below in case you have any concerns!
Manafinder will be released on October 5, 2022!
I am happy to announce that after 5 years of development work, Manafinder now has a release date and a new (and final) trailer! Manafinder will be released on October 5th, 2022! Remember to wishlist please!
Fight your way against ferocious beasts and other threats in this turn-based RPG as you survive in a world vastly untapped by mankind! Become a manafinder and make hard choices as you seek a better life for both yourself and other exiles. Make use of weapons, magic, elemental ores, healing plants, and your loyal dog companion Scar as you embark on this 10-12 hour long quest!
Manafinder will be attending SIX 2022 on September 4th and 24th!
I'm excited to announce that Manafinder will be part of the Seattle Indies Expo (SIX) this year alongside other great indie games! The live version is the same weekend as PAX West and is very close to the Convention Center! So if you're in town come join us to play Manafinder and get some postcards and stickers (before they run out)!
The event will be both live (Seattle, WA) and online.
Sun, Sept 4th, 12pm - 9pm 3rd floor of Motif Hotel (Seattle, WA)
Manafinder will be released this fall with full English and Spanish support!
¡Enhorabuena! ¡Manafinder saldrá a la venta en Steam simultáneamente en Español e Inglés este Otoño 2022! Además la demo ha sido actualizada para incluir la opción de jugar en español (Ir a Options -> General -> Language para cambiar el idioma), ¡asÍ que espero la difruten!
Por favor agreguen Manafinder a su lista de deseados en Steam. ¡Es la mejor manera de apoyarnos!
