The Last Dogma
Update 1.5 (Part I + II) and Free DLC Game Are Now Available
Free DLC game "Sacred Line" is now also available for download, PC only. Since The Last Dogma is based on both Sacred Line and Sacred Line Genesis games, it made perfect sense to make it available as a bonus DLC.
Update 1.5 Part I
Part II will add subtitles for Secret World campaign, it should be ready in a week.
- The game now has subtitles
- Physics fixes
- Texture fixes
- The camera now slightly moves during the intro and ending scenes
- Minor spelling fixes
- Faily News updated: new details and minor fixes
- Story Note overhaul
- Poem 2 was removed

1.5x Series Update Announcement: Subtitles and Localization
Subtitles
Next big update will finally bring subtitles to the game, which will help a lot to non-Native English speakers and people who don't speak English at all (I'm not a Native speaker myself).
I realized that it was a mistake for me not focusing on players from North Europe and Southern Europe. For all these years of development I've seen only one American who would not hate the game, but I've also seen a lot of positive responses/reviews/curiosity from European underground and major press. One fan from Italy even became a very active tester and helped me a lot with the game development, not even knowing English and communicating with the help of Google Translate.
If you want to help to translate the game to your language, please write me to sashadarko(a)gmail(dot)com
New content
Some sounds will be replaced and some models will get new textures.
FPS System
Another important thing I'll think about is action system and enemies. They either will be entirely cut or overhauled.
Achievements - Cancelled
I was also working on Steam achievements to motivate players to look for secrets, but I have zero motivation to do anything extra for Steam (for the obvious reasons) and working on such useless thing is just a waste of time anyway also because there are lots of Steam users who use Steam Achievement Manager.

The Last Dogma now has Trading Cards!
But I urge you to be just a little bit old school and actually trade your other cards instead of dealing with money.
Badge levels are following: "Disbeliever", "Atheist", "Heretic", "Blasphemer" and finally "Satanist".
Free "Sacred Line" DLC is ready for release and features 1.3 build of the game (which is available only at Computer Bild website at the moment), but hasn't been reviewed by Valve employees (it's been a week now).
