1.1.0 Released - Behold: A Quest Log!
UPDATE: These features are now in the main branch and the default version.
One of the most asked features during EA was quest log. We were unable to complete that task before release but now we have it. It should contain all the stuff related to quests.
Another major addition are the eras 4 & 5. They've been tuned to be more difficult than 2 or 3, but we'd like to have some feedback about that. Should we increase the difficulty more? It's not hardcore at the moment, but we could push it further. Try the beta and send us feedback. We'll keep the 1.1.0 for a while since it has some major changes.
To try this beta, see instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/790850/discussions/0/1837937637904364275/

Undead Horde Out Today on PC & Consoles
We've now moved the completed version 1.0.4 as the default version - this marks the full version release. Whee!
Our humble thanks to all the early access customers - with your help we made the game a lot better. We hope you've enjoyed playing the earlier versions as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Even though the game is now completed we still plan to make some major updates. One of our goals is to improve the Era-system and maybe add a couple of new affix abilities - what do you think about "splash damage on raise" effect for example?
In any case, have fun with the game and report any problems to us. We'll try to fix any issues as fast as possible.
1.0.4 RC2 In Beta - Transitioning to Complete Version Tomorrow
Undead Horde can be called complete tomorrow! That said, we will still continue updating the game for some time. We're still not completely done with the era system for example and there are some other things we want to do still.
Various circumstances have determined our console launch date to be 15th May though and we want to release all platform versions the same day so tomorrow we will launch the "full version". However, bigger updates like era system polishing aren't stopping just yet!
Also, as planned, the price was increased a bit now that all the content is available (although in beta branch only at the moment - but that'll change soon).
Here are the changes:
- Option to turn off necromancer voice overs
- Weakest minions can be banished from the character panel at any time
- Fixed some item loot levels in later eras (deed rewards & named items mainly)
- Added missing strings to languages
- Era-text is updated on the map when changing era
- Secrets & Eras persistency problems fixed
- Fixed era urn useability after starting a new game in Era 1
- Fixed Benevictor spawner destroy FXs
- Made it more difficult for the orcs to start fighting with elementals in Barbarian Stronghold
We will fix any major issues reported and move this build as the default tomorrow after some testing. If you want to help us, try out the version in beta now - instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/790850/discussions/0/1837937637904364275/
1.0.3 RC1 in Beta Branch!
The latest version (1.0.3) is now in beta branch. This version has chapter five open and it can be completed. We're nearing full release so we wanted to open the full game a bit before the actual full release date to get feedback from the era system and the final chapter.
The game can be also replayed in Era 2 and Era 3. The following eras are not necessarily more difficult in early game, but the difficulty level increases as you go. Era 3 hasn't been tested much but it should be the most difficult. We may add more eras if there's demand. We'll also keep balancing the eras as we receive feedback.
If you want to try the final chapter early in beta, here are instructions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/790850/discussions/0/1837937637904364275/
Version 0.9.1.3 Live! - More Localization!
This version has many new localized languages and we've continued to do some bug fixing as well. There are some missing strings in all languages currently. Spanish and Chinese have most holes at the moment - others have only a small handful as they are more recent. We'll complete the languages in the coming days.
Short change list:
- Finally tracked down & fixed the "disappearing hired heroes"-bug
- Thirsty's note should be highlighted better in inventory for improved discoverability
- The game now supports the following languages: Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Finnish, Portuguese (BR), Korean, Japanese and Russian
- Added an in-game language menu - you change the language real time.
- Misc smaller fixes & changes
Next we'll focus in preparing the final fifth chapter for publishing. The fifih chapter will also open a new Era, where you can replay the game from the start with all the units unlocked so far. After that there's still a third era, which is a bit more difficult than the second. All this will be available next week thus completing the game.
After the game is complete, we will still listen to feedback and do some updating as long as the game stays lively enough. The era-system hasn't been played much yet still, so we'll probably tweak it further with your feedback.
