Siralim 2
Siralim 2 - Patch 1.0.1
VERSION 1.0.1:
- Turbo Mode is now about 50% faster.
- Added a very slight delay to the loot window before you can close it. This should help to prevent players from accidentally discarding their items.
- It was fun while it lasted, but too many of you are getting slaughtered early on. Therefore, King Andrick's level has been reduced from 9 to 7.
- Tons of minor bug and crash fixes.
Siralim 2 has left Early Access!
But development certainly doesn't end here - there's much more to come in the following months! We'll start by releasing Siralim 2 on Android and iOS (the game is already running on my garage sale tier phones, so it won't be much longer now), followed by Playstation 4 and Vita. After that, we'll start adding even more new content to the game on all platforms!
As always, please be sure to leave a review if you enjoy the game, and remember to tell your friends about Siralim 2!
Siralim 2 will be fully released on August 12, 2016!
Later this month, I'm hoping to release the Android and iOS versions of the game as well. After that (probably sometime in September or October), the PS4 and Vita versions will be released. And finally, you can look forward to at least one major content expansion before the end of this year which will include new challenges, new creatures, new traits, new spells, and much more.
Oh, and if you haven't done so already, please take a few minutes to leave a review for Siralim 2 on Steam! If there's one thing that will help the game find success, it'll be with the help of your reviews for people to read on the day of release. Thanks to everyone who already left a review as well!
Siralim 2 is now available for Mac and Linux!
Please note that the Mac and Linux versions of the game are definitely not guaranteed to be as stable as their Windows counterpart yet. Please report any issues you find with these versions, and rest assured we'll take care of them as quickly as possible!
Trouble patching? Read here!
In Steam, click 'Steam' (at the top of the client), then go to 'Settings' then 'Downloads'. Change your 'Download Region' to an entirely different country than what you're currently using. Many users have found success with West Africa and Singapore, for example.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I am not sure why this is happening, and have contacted Valve for additional details that I'll share with you as soon as possible.
Siralim 2 - Patch 0.13.0
- Implemented cross-platform cloud saving. You can use this feature to import and export your save files to our servers, allowing you to retrieve them later on, even with an entirely different device. This functionality will also extend to the Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android versions when they're released, so you'll be able to play your save files from just about anywhere. Note that we are still completely unsure if we'll be able to implement this feature in the Playstation 4/Vita versions.
- Added 25 new wardrobe costumes to the tailor. Some of these are recolors of a few costumes that are already in the game. Some of these will not appear at the tailor until you've collected the costumes' 'base' costume.
- Fixed a rounding issue when interacting with resource nodes that caused players to receive fractions of resources.
- Fixed a bug that caused traveling merchants in Nether Realms to persist for multiple realms in a row.
- Fixed a bug that prevented some breeding options from appearing when selecting from one of your combinations at the breeder.
- Fixed a few cases where players were told they didn't have the required components to craft items at the Nether Goblet.
- Fixed a display bug related to the 'Starvation' punishment.
- Fixed a display bug related to the 'Inspect' command in battle.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Eldritch Strike' trait to deal far more damage than intended.
- Fixed several display issues in certain Nether Realm-specific rooms.
- Made yet another likely-failed attempt to prevent your creatures from sometimes wandering off to the corner of the map. :(
Siralim 2 - Patch 0.12.0
In addition, spells that always manipulate the Action Queue in the player's favor have been reworked entirely. It was way too easy to build a team of creatures that cast spells like Haste and Rabid Dementia indefinitely, which prevents enemies from ever being able to take a turn.
A few traits were rebalanced as well. These traits were problematic because they allowed players to largely ignore stats - and in some cases, any form of strategy when composing their teams.
Lastly, new achievements have been added for Nether Realms. I apologize for not having these ready in time for the last patch, but this was honestly an oversight; I did not originally plan to add any more achievements. These cannot be awarded retroactively.
The next major patch will include cross-platform cloud saving, improved enemy AI, and general quality-of-life improvements. I'm also close to having the Mac and Linux versions of the game ready as we're very close to leaving Early Access at this point.
VERSION 0.12.0:
- Rebalanced a few spells and traits. You can find the changes at the bottom of these patch notes.
- Added 38 new achievements to the game that are related to changes made to Nether Realms in patch 0.11.0.
- Added traits that do not belong to any creatures to the Compendium of Traits (aka the traits exclusive to Nether Realms).
- Stat increases and decreases from spells and traits in battle are now slightly mitigated by diminishing returns.
- Decreased the damage dealt by area-of-effect spells by 23%.
- Decreased the healing done by area-of-effect spells by 25%.
- Decreased the stat gain/loss by area-of-effect spells by 20%.
- Barrier display text is now correctly shortened for large numbers.
- The 'Self-Awareness' trait now only works if it's a creature's innate trait, or a trait on their artifact. This is to prevent players from accidentally transforming their creatures.
- Fixed a bug with the 'Refraction' trait that allowed it to work at incorrect times.
- Fixed a bug that allowed charms to be used in boss rooms and special nether realm rooms.
- Fixed a bug that allowed sigils to be used in special nether rooms.
- Fixed a display bug related to the 'Self-Awareness' trait.
- Fixed a crash that could occur that is related to the new traveling merchants.
- Fixed a crash that would occur when purchasing a Key of the Arcane.
- Fixed a few bugs that prevented players from buying certain items at the Nether Goblet.
- Fixed a bug that caused Riddle Dwarves in special Nether Realm rooms to persist even after you answered the riddle.
- Fixed a bug with the 'Replication' perk that prevented it from applying debuffs to the correct creatures.
TRAIT CHANGES:
- Admire the Gods: When this creature takes damage, and the damage exceeds 25% (down from 30%) of its Maximum Health, reduce the damage to 25% (down from 30%) of its Maximum Health. The amount of damage prevented cannot exceed 100% of this creature's Maximum Health. (previously there was no limit to the amount of damage prevented)
- Celestial Fortitude: Your creatures cannot take damage that exceeds 45% of their Maximum Health. The amount of damage prevented cannot exceed 100% of the creature's Maximum Health. (previously there was no limit to the amount of damage prevented)
- Diamond Attunement: All creatures lose access to their innate traits while this creature is alive. (reworked)
- Eye of the Storm: While this creature is above 90% Health, your creatures' Health cannot fall below 5%. This effect is ignored if the incoming damage would exceed 100% of the target creature's Maximum Health. (previously there was no limit to the amount of damage prevented)
- Flesh Offering: When this creature casts a spell, it sacrifices 25% Current Health, adds this amount of health to its damage (previously did not add any damage), and casts the spell 1 additional time.
- Final Act of Judgment: At the start of this creature's turn, deal damage to all enemies equal to 0.5% of their Current Health for each point of Mana this creature is missing. The damage cannot exceed 25% of each creatures' Current Health. (reworked; the old version was the exact same trait as Sadism - oops!)
- Patriarchy: This creature takes all damage from attacks and spells in place of your Imlings. (no longer reduces incoming damage)
- Spiral Ward: While this creature is below 50% Health, it does not take damage from spells. (previously worked at any amount of health)
SPELL CHANGES:
- Haste (reworked): Target gains a massive amount of Speed.
- Ice Bolt (reworked): Target takes a small amount of damage and is afflicted with Frozen.
- Rabid Dementia (reworked): Target gains Berserk and attacks a random enemy.
- Shadow Infusion (reworked): Target gains a large amount of Attack and Speed.
Siralim 2 - Patch 0.11.0
Aside from that, you now have a chance to encounter some special bonus rooms during your travels in Nether Realms. For example, sometimes, instead of being taken to a normal Nether Realm, you'll be sent to a small room that contains a bunch of treasure chests. Some rooms are a bit more interactive, such as an arena-style version of the Riddle Dwarf. Aesthetically, some of these rooms aren't as detailed as I'd prefer (there are no trees in special grassland rooms, for example), so that will be addressed in a later patch.
The rest of the patch contains some quality of life fixes and bug fixes. However, it's important to note that story bosses now have 50% more health than before. This is an experimental change, so please let me know if it makes story bosses too difficult. The goal of this change is to ensure players can't one-shot bosses anymore.
VERSION 0.11.0:
- Nether Realms have been overhauled.
- Every 5 realm levels, you must fight an ultra-powerful version of the story bosses. Each boss drops 1 of 3 unique legendary crafting materials that you can't find anywhere else. These materials are NOT chosen at random. Bosses start spawning at realm depth 5, and spawn every 5 realm levels after that. If you've already progressed past realm level 5 prior to this patch, you'll need to return to realm level 5 and start defeating the bosses in order.
- Several new, interactive surprises and events await you in Nether Realms. These events will be expanded on in a later patch, and some new ones will be added as well.
- Enemies now scale to higher levels and Gene Strengths much more quickly than before. The 'Hypersensitivity' punishment makes them scale even faster!
- Enemies always have an extra, randomly-chosen trait.
- Enemies always have a level 10 artifact, but these artifacts cannot spawn with any legendary properties.
- Story bosses now have 50% more health.
- Since Nether Demons were removed in the last patch, some items purchased from gods were rendered obsolete. These items have now been added as components for other items that were not removed.
- Punishments are now disabled while in the arena.
- Battle events related to attacking should now occur in a more sensible order.
- The 'Blessing of Sands' trait now adds +3 creatures of the same class, up from 2.
- Fixed a few bugs that could cause spell animations to appear on the wrong targets, or for spells to be cast on the wrong targets.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed summoning spells to activate while the 'Thylacine' trait was active.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the 'Living Nightmare' perk from working.
- Fixed a bug that caused self-targeting spells to sometimes not cast.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Rage' punishment to bypass Barriers.
- Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause creatures received from the gods to be deleted immediately.
- Fixed a bug with the 'Resurrection Code' trait that allowed it to also resurrect the creature with this trait.
- Fixed a bug with Item Sets that prevented creature stats from updating properly if an artifact was equipped.
- Fixed a bug with Item Sets that sometimes prevented Spell Gems from being equipped properly.
- Fixed a bug that prevented some trait descriptions from appearing with the 'Inspect' command in battle.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the 'Lone Wolf' perk from blocking debuffs if you were missing 5 creatures from your party. Note that some debuffs are applied constantly, such as those from Sigils, and Lone Wolf will not block those if your creature doesn't have a 100% chance to ignore debuffs.
- Fixed a bug that caused some creature leveling achievements to unlock in the arena.
- The 'Hugs and Kisses' trait should now give a debuff to the creature at the top of the Action Queue rather than the creature that owns the trait.
- The 'Nature's Savior' achievement should now be unlockable.
- Deified Gods should now be counted correctly on the character accolades menu even if you've gained multiple deified ranks for each god.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Chaos Orbs' spell to hit the wrong target when it casts due to the cast on/when hit properties.
Siralim 2 - Patch 0.10.0
- Item Sets have been added to the game. This feature allows you to assign a creatures' equipped items (Artifacts and Spell Gems) to an item set, and then re-equip them from your inventory later on. You can manage your Item Sets from the creature context menu.
- Wardrobe costumes are no longer gender locked.
- Nether Demon items have been removed from the Nether Goblet. In addition, all references to Nether Demons have been removed from the game since they don't really do anything right now anyway. They will return in a much different form in a free content expansion.
- Implemented large numbers for the entire game to prevent numbers from rolling over to negative values when they exceed 2 billion. This change affects a massive amount of the game's code, so please keep an eye out for any bugs!
- While inspecting creatures with multiple traits in battle, you can now press the E button to cycle through these traits.
- At the loading screen (where you choose your save file), the game will now remember the last save slot you chose and scroll to it automatically.
- Turbo Mode now also works on messages from sigils, such as when a creature can't defend, attack, etc.
- Objects such as nomad tents and imp huts can now be walked through after you've used them.
- Floating battle text is now displayed in a more sensible order for certain traits, such as Flay and Pyre.
- The 'Lone Wolf' perk now calculates the number of missing creatures in your party based on a maximum of 3 creatures while the 'Nostalgia' punishment is active.
- The materials transmutation interface will now correctly update your materials list after each transmutation.
- The 'Hybridization' perk now works with the 'Adaptation' perk.
- You can now enter Artifact Realms for locked artifacts.
- Swapped the Twisted Devil's trait with the Stone Devil's trait since it makes more sense that way.
- Fixed a few display bugs related to artifact property comparison when equipping/swapping artifacts.
- Fixed a bug that caused stats gained from Gene Strength to be calculated incorrectly in the detailed stats sheet for your creatures.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Lone Wolf' perk's debuff immunity to sometimes not activate properly.
- Fixed another bug that could cause creatures to be able to take a turn while dead.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when viewing stable groups with a Nether Creature in the party.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Graft' perk to not grant enough Health.
- Fixed a bug with the 'Hymn of the Dead' perk that allowed it to extract creatures it shouldn't be able to, such as War Golems.
- Fixed a bug that caused the wrong god of your current realm to be highlighted in the gods menu.
- Fixed a bug that caused players to receive Power Balance from battles even if they already had the maximum amount.
- Fixed a bug that allowed certain enemies to spawn in sigils, such as Treasure Golems or Thylacines.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Pus and Pox' trait to also debuff your own creatures.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Boon to Bane' trait to affect allies instead of enemies.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Hugs and Kisses' trait to grant a buff to all allies each turn instead of just the current creature.
- Fixed a bug that caused the 'Stank' trait to barely work at all.

- Fixed a bug that prevented creatures with 'Blight' from taking damage from healing effects if the creature was at full health.
Siralim 2 - Patch 0.9.0
Unfortunately, item set management didn't make it into this release. This feature turned out to be a lot more difficult to implement than I expected, so it has been delayed to the next major patch instead. Thank you for understanding!
VERSION 0.9.0:
- Many class-specific perks have been reworked or rebalanced. In addition, each class has received several new class-specific perks. For a full list of changes and additions, please see the bottom of these patch notes.
- Added a new punishment: 'Narcissism'. Your Nether Creature's level is equal to your character's level.
- You will now gain a small number of Deity Points each time your character levels up. The higher your character's level, the more points you'll receive. At level 300 and higher, you'll receive 3 Deity Points per level. These points are not shown to players who are not 'Respected' by at least one god.
- Reworked the 'Secret Ingredient' trait: Increases the potency of your chef buffs by 50%. This trait does not stack.
- The 'Thylacine' trait now works with the 'Lone Wolf' perk.
- Adjusted the way breeding works slightly with regard to Gene Strength. Most people won't notice any changes at all, but these changes remove several hidden "breakpoints" and should take some guesswork out of the breeding system for you.
- Artifacts with only one primary stat now have higher values for these stats. This change is not retroactive, so you'll need to reforge your artifacts for this to take effect.
- The 'Creature' section of the statistics menu now displays your highest party level, average party level, highest party gene strength, and average party gene strength.
- Sigils now spawn enemies with a minimum of 10 Gene Strength.
- The 'God Favor' interface now highlights the god of your current realm in a different color.
