One Step From Eden
Duelists of Eden is out now on Steam for $4.49!
Duelists of Eden is finally here!
I always wanted to make a PvP experience inspired by Battle Network but with modern mechanics and style. This is one of my dream games and I think it offers a really unique experience. It is a HARD game! Please take learning slowly. I would recommend finding a friend to play matches with so you can learn together. I've always had the most fun doing that!
We've even done crossovers with indies like Maiden and Spell, Quantum Protocol, Rivals of Aether, and Freedom Planet as their own unique characters! I hope you enjoy the game!
Clip from one of our demo tournaments!
Here's one of the new characters, Harissa!
Q: Is Duelists of Eden a sequel to One Step From Eden?
A: It is NOT a roguelite! It's more of a card-fighting-game spinoff and plays and feels quite diffent. You can perform combos with hit-stun, and craft your own unique decks. Movement is slower-paced and more calculated in order to be a fun and interesting PvP experience.
Q: Why is it a seperate game?
A: I had to build the entire game from the ground up, it's highly optimized and created specifically for online fighting-game play. It took 3 years of full-time work from me and my team!
Q: Will any of the new characters come to One Step From Eden
A: One Step From Eden isn't planned for any more updates at the moment. But maybe we will see them in the future, and players can mod them in of course.
I'm super excited for you guys to try Duelists out! If you enjoy fighting games and improving at a game, I recommend it!
Patch v1.8 - New Saffron and Reva sprites! Three Year Anniversary!
Well it's been three years since the release of One Step From Eden.
I appreciate all the love and support and players still excited about the game and playing and even making mods to this day. We've finally wrapped up the character sprite updates for the cast with Saffron and Reva!
I've been working full time on Duelists of Eden which is an online PvP card/fighting game. The game has been rebuilt from scratch and the mechanics are a bit different and catered to be exciting and fun for PvP!
Release is planned for 2023-2024. Please wishlist it here:
Bugfixes: Readability mode no longer shows locked card descriptions Leaving PvP with a saved run no longer deletes the saved run Selicy Holiday skin can now only be unlocked in December Second Breakfast - fixed and updated description Uranium - updated description Polished animations Loading pngs for mods now uses a coroutine Softlock at level 100 fixed, level cap increased to 999
This may be the last update for One Step from Eden. If there's one way you want to support us, please leave us a review on Steam!
Best, Thomas
P.S. You can unlock Saffron's "Classic" skin by beating her as a boss!

Patch 1.7 - Sprite Updates!
Patch Notes 1.7 | 11-29-2021
Visual: Updated the default character and boss sprites for Selicy, Hazel, Gunner, and Shiso. Taunts added for all characters/skins. (Press "Shuffle" + "Remove" on the same frame to taunt, default is Spacebar and G)
Bugfixes: Fixed positioning parameters for PlaceBeing console command Sfx changed for Resonate spell
This is just a small final touch on the game, since some of the sprites felt weak in comparison to the others. @jtangc did an amazing job creating new default sprites for us!
The update should be live on all platforms now. Thank you for playing!
-Thomas
Patch v1.6 - One Year of One Step From Eden!
Happy 1 year anniversary of One Step From Eden's release!
I decided to work on a very small update for the anniversary which includes co-op improvements and a very simple run history!
Patch Notes 1.6 | 3-26-2021 - Co-op Improvements & Run History
Co-Op Changes: Players now have separate health pools Healing is still shared between players Dead players will now respawn with 100 HP at the end of each battle
Quality of Life: Runs will now be kept if the game crashes/quits unexpectedly! Maximum Artifacts increased from 48->56. A lot of people have mentioned this and things can get pretty messy and boring with too many artifacts, but here's a small increase, for fun.
Run History: The last 10 runs will now be tracked and stored in the Statistics Page. This includes your seed, character and zone reached.
Modding: Added mod load order/priority, set it in the mod's WorkShopItemInfo.xml under
Reva Alt kit: Soul Link -> Zenith
Other: Turret Laser spell no longer consumes, mana increased 3->4 Transmission artifact now updates attack damage on weapon cast
I did want to make more changes to co-op but prioritized it being fun to play with a weaker/newer partner. Now they won't be dragging you down, and they can jump back in to help even when they die!
Hotfix 1.6.1 | 3-27-2021 Fixed a bug where both players would die to a boss in co-op Fixed a bug where the continue run button would appear after a victory
This will be one of the final updates to One Step From Eden... for now. I've learned so much from creating the game, in coding, business, marketing, and more. Thank you for all the support you've shown me throughout the years. Making One Step From Eden was one of the best decisions of my life because of it.
I hope to make more amazing games for you soon.

Patch v1.5 - Expansion
Patch Notes 1.5 | 12-4-2020
This is the biggest content patch since release! I wanted to focus on the health of the game and make it more accessible. There's also a few easter eggs not mentioned here... (Hotfixes at the bottom of the notes)
Featuring: +29 New Spells (Calamity for all Brands!) +32 New Artifacts Mod sandbox Lots of Accessibility settings ("easy" mode, hold movement, readability) Profiles/Save slots Pick and Choose Hell Passes New Saffron Bossfight
It'll most likely be hitting consoles sometime next year.
Anvil Bolt Action Censor Bar Cobra Care Cryophage Curacao Delta Golden Cat Ice Sculpture Kabob Life Jacket Monocle Multitool Muzzle Brake Nerve Gas Pendulum Piggy Bank Replicant Second Breakfast Sinkhole Spike Protein Survival Kit Symbiosis Thermophage Transmission Trap Card Trident Tutu Umbrella Viral Transmitter Water Wheel XD-40 Z-Cell
--Bosses--
Saffron Boss fight completely reworked Now attacks with ~40 different pre-programmed spell "combo chains" at 4 different tiers She also throws her Plushie behind her instead of in front! And is overall much smarter and scarier!~
Selicy Special Holiday stuff
--Characters--
Terra: Starting Kit Mine -> Poison Tails
--Quality of Life--
Added a luck symbol flash on Bunny death Weapon info can now be viewed on the Deck Screen Fixed previews for many spells Assists no longer block movement Certain dark icons brightened (Monsoon and world icons) Updated Removal tooltip to reflect that it can remove artifacts and pacts too Made Serif's dialogue hint more towards not being a true ending after the Gate Worlds where bosses have been killed will now show up as red in the map and have a skull Viewable map during the rewards screen
--Settings--
Hold to Skip option Hold to Move option Stop Music on Pause Menu Readability Mode - increases size of card descriptions and hides flavor text
Angel Mode ("easy" mode) - reduces damage taken and enemy/boss speed by a %, increasing by 2% every time you die (max 50%). All achievements can still be obtained this way. Character has a halo while this is on. (Removed the halo you get from saving hostages). It's separated into two sliders and can be toggled on and off at any time.
Hopefully this optional accessibility mode allows more people to enjoy the game without removing all the challenge for it. I liked the idea of making the game slightly easier, the more the player dies, so that they are always making progress!
--Systems--
Profile/Save slots system, Brand and Icon are based on last chosen Hell Passes are now individually selectable! (The hell pass 14 achievement can be completed with only hell pass 14 active)
--Bug Fixes--

--Modding--

--Sandbox--
Added an xml file "TestZone.xml" for choosing how you want to set up your test environment. It boots directly into the scene you choose, along with the console and cheat menu being enabled! You can change the enemies and other world variables in Zones.xml. There is also a "developer" sandbox (with the game in debug mode) on the Steam beta branch! Example path for XML files: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\One Step From Eden\OSFE_Data\StreamingAssets\Data"
There's more info at the bottom of TestZone.xml Join discord.gg/OSFE #modding for more info!
--Balance Changes--
Weapons now pierce Defense, this includes Gunner's weapons Flames no longer pierce Defense Hell Pass 11 - Evil Hostages have a chance to spawn with normal Hostages instead of replacing them (except for Distress zones where they can replace them) Storm spells can no longer get the Frost upgrade Luck for each "None" Focus: 1->2 Improved Kunai range consistency Spintail enemies now fire less shots so you're not stuck waiting as long Various Flower artifact HP Losses lowered Shuffle staleness cap 2->3s Shuffle staleness multiplier 0.1->0.15s (increases shuffle time after every shuffle)

--Ending Note--
Most of these features came directly from you, the community and I'm happy to finally add them to the game! Thank you for sticking around and coming up with these great ideas!
After the last patch in April, I realized I was pretty burnt out and needed a break from OSFE. I know the extra settings took a while to come out, so I'm sorry for the wait. I still love the game and really enjoy working on it.
What's next? I've attempted adding online multiplayer but I've decided it will require making a whole other standalone game. I may experiment with that in the future. In the meantime I'm always working on something!
Thanks to NEON for the new icons, inkcurry for the banner art, and jtangc for the holday skin! And a special thanks to everyone who tested in the Discord.
If you made it all the way here, don't forget to leave us a Steam Review!

Remove doublecast from Explosion! Fix description of ManaSteal having double periods
Bosses will now assist you after sparing you
Hotfix 1.4.2 | 4-19-2020 Deck will now count deck size after a new spell card is added to the list Fix overlapping from Reva's final assist Pressing left on the screenshake setting can set it to None Fixed a bug where cards could stay on the screen when quitting after choosing them Previews will no longer persist when abandoning run as shopkeeper with the deck open The shuffle at the start of battle will no longer decay shield Sunglasses will now properly trigger at 50% Flint Shot now glows with a Flow border when you have flow Evil Hostages will no longer fire blasts with the deathrattle and have a faster attack to match the animation Evil Hostage projectiles are slower to make up for the faster attack Removing Grip Tape and Blueberry Jam will now properly remove their effects Max Mana status effects will be properly removed when all statuses are removed Shmup credits scene will now last until all the credits have scrolled through.

Patch Notes 1.4 | 4-14-2020
--Spells--
Some of the Brands didn't match the concept or theme of the spells as well as others. In general it is supposed to be thematic with some outliers as a possibility, but some of them didn't make much sense. There may be more tweaks later. Thanks for bringing this up.
Fun fact: In the lore, the Focuses are what Brand/Company the spell was manufactured by.
Ambient Burst Focus: Convergence->Doublelift
Fissure Focus: Kinesys->Hearth
Reflector Focus: Convergence->Phalanx
Soul Link Focus: Glimmer->Miseri
Waterfall Focus: Doublelift->Hearth Rarity: 1->2
--Enemies--
OBeamer4 will now fire an O and an X pattern
Minor adjustments
--Other--
Added completionist icons next to each hell pass, each colored line refers to a different ending (These will not update retroactively... sorry!) Reva will now cast a warning effect before Reflecting Korean localization has been updated Sword pacts and other effects will no longer kill you when a boss mercys you Added a sound effect for hazel's big turret spawn Hell Pass 10: Max Mana -1 -> Shield Decay 60%. The previous max mana reduction ruined some kits, this change also doesn't require me to redo any localization since I can use the descriptions from Duct Tape (which would reduce the shield loss to 45% in this mode). I may try something new with this later on.
Updated Terrable's sprite!
There will be a Steam Beta branch available for testing new changes, it should be publicly accessible on Steam in your Library under Properties > Betas. Please join discord.gg/osfe for updates
--Modding--
Added Harmony C# modding support, join discord.gg/osfe or look at the docs to learn more This should let you dig into any part of the game's code and really go all out with your mods. Harmony: https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony/wiki Example workshop mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2060289728
Mods will now "Update" from their respetive installed workshop folders (i.e.) the ones under here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\960690

Quality of Life - Resetting Data will now require you to confirm an extra time Added transparent background behind some character select info
--Bugfixes--
Major
Hell modes will no longer unlock when beating the hell mode two levels below Abandoning run right after moving to a new zone will no longer save and skip a zone Arctic music 2 will now play for danger and miniboss zones
Minor
Boss Shiso will now punish roots properly Fix glitterstorm/glitterbomb not full responding to damage upgrades Fix unlocked cards not getting added to the cardpool until after a run Fix discord integration world number being off by 1 Fix minor localization errors Fix RockCycle doublecasting while shuffling causing the deck to stop shuffling Bravely Default will now allow for removals Hazel animation while casting Whirl or similar spells is no longer a smear frame Boss Saffron's card display will now properly be removed when she mercys you Gate turrets can no longer be teleported Violette alt will no longer channel past the end of battle Ice spikes will now properly travel in the direction the player is facing Zombee egg timer will now deal true damage equal to it's hp Casting Explosion could block player inputs if the deck was opened in the middle of it Violette's Boss theme will no longer keep playing if you kill her quickly
I'm slowly but consistently working on all the bugs, and I'll have time to focus on a second options menu next!
Patch v1.3 - Boss Rewards and Systems
Patch Notes 1.3 | 4-7-2020
--Systems--
Boss rewards will now also give a rare+ Spell choice Boss rewards will now give a rare+ Artifact choice
I've gotten a lot of feedback saying boss kills didn't feel rewarding enough. I agree, getting a common artifact felt pretty meh. Hopefully this not only feels better, but also open up new synergies to explore since they're some of the more powerful items!
New Shuffle time addition: 0.1s (max 1s)
Every time you shuffle in a battle, the total shuffle time will be increased by 0.1s, up to a cap of 1s. This makes decks that blaze through their all their cards a bit less good, but shouldn't feel too noticeable or bad in general. For reference, default shuffle time is 2.5s. The shield decay change also makes this addition less punishing.
Removed 0.01s shuffle increase per card
This should help counteract the new multiplier in some cases
Deck size mana regen now stops after 0.3 mana regen or (15) cards. I've turned the later markers into counters, to help keep track of the size of your deck when the deck gets too large. The markers have all also been moved down by 1, so you just need to hit the marker to activate the bonus mana regen rather than pass it.
Frost 3 Stacks Damage: 100->150
I've had some reports of Frost being underwhelming and I agree it's one of the weaker synergies without artifacts. I'm buffing the damage from it to be more rewarding.
Shield decay on shuffle moved to end of shuffle Shield decay on end of shuffle: 25%->40%
I've decided to move shield decay on shuffle to when your shuffle is finished so that playing a shield card as your last card doesn't feel so bad. Also you won't be as defenseless while shuffling. The shield decay was increased to 40% to de-incentivize stacking too much shield as a "safe" play, I think this is do-able now that shield is less of a necessity to get through mid-late game. The combination of these should keep shield in a decent spot for both small and large decks.
--Spells--
Doublecasting Flow cards will now trigger Flow on the second cast as well as give extra Flow Stacks
Align Mana: 1->0
Blade Rain Will no longer land on broken tiles
Blink Shield: 10->20
Double Tap Anchor: Yes->No Damage: 100->120
Fate Shield: Hitbox height: 9->3 Horizontal spawn: 0->-1 Projectile speed: 35->30 This should give fateshield more versatility and use cases rather than only being used with step spells
Glaive Targets: Other->Enemies This was sometimes killing hostages which felt bad and did not match the description.
Health Catch Mana: 2->1
Hockey Duration: 3->5 Damage: 20->40 Increasing the duration and damage to make this worth 3 mana and reward good placement
Kunai Damage: 40->30 Fixed some cases where kunais could miss Kunais could push out a bit too much damage for being 0 cost with no anchor. They should still be powerful with artifacts and spell power!
Mana Steal Damage: 100->120
Meditate Trinity: 0->1
Pull Damage: 0->1
Ragnarok Damage: 300->350
Skipper Brand: Miseri->Kinesys
Warpath Damage: 80->120
--Artifacts--
Duct Tape Shield Decay: 15%->30%
Elysium Chance: 25%->50% Rarity: 0->1
Transcendence Shield: 800->1000 Changed description to match effect
Uranium Spell Power: 10->8 Can now hit through shield but will not kill
--Characters--
Selicy Default Snow Piercer (Weapon) Dmg per Frost stack: 60->80
We increased the damage per Frost stack on target to keep up with the Frost damage buff. Update: We'll keep it at 1 mana and leave it to the player to learn since she was really strong. I'll try to find a better balance moving forward.
Shopkeeper Money lowered for certain Hell Passes
Violette Back (Shield): Set Shield to 60 if below 60.
Should make it less necessary to "spam" but still be pretty strong.
--Enemies--
Projectile speed lowered for a few high tier enemy types
Quarreling (Snake) has new red wings for increased visibility
Limit number of Reva's summons, they should also fire less frequently now
Bosses will now gain Defense equal to half their tier
--Other--
Violette will now say guiding dialogue before and after attacking to players who have not followed her music path attack Pets are immune to more status effects Increase time before focusing reward cards Lower volume of enemy death explosion Lowered audio from previews Enemy loop delays will now update constantly, in-case enemies are added or removed Soulfire will no longer increase damage from the preview Add some additional enemy sets A max number will show up when maxed out on unlock levels
Quality of Life - Added a separate binding for "Outfit" button Hold to remove Artifacts Set world Tier numbering to start at "1" instead of "0" Defense will show up as an icon below enemies and bosses Luck +1 for each "None" Focus Violette's music path warnings are notes again but green, hopefully this is fine with the dialogue You can eject cards you don't have enough max mana for by spending 1 mana (by casting them)
