• Corrected an issue that would incorrectly mark the player's face as being inside something while descending the ladder into the tutorial mine.
  

Full Patch Notes:

Additions and Improvements


• Raised the height of the tunnel to the last encounter with the merchant in the Forbidden Mine as it hung a bit low and could force the player to clip through it at points.
  
• Made it so that bombs in your backpack can't be lit by fire sources until removed from their slots.
  
• Increased the likelihood that the Stone Giant boss at the end of chapter 1 will slam down when conditions are met to advance the fight.
  
• Changed the coloring of Unstable Mana Crystals to hopefully be a bit more indicative of their intended use.
  
• Cleaned up the purple grass texture found in mines to not have that annoying line floating across the top.

  Bug Fixes:

  
  
• Fixed a bug where the forge press could behave a bit jittery when lowered all the way down during crafting.
  
• Corrected fireballs not functioning as fire sources when attempting to ignite arrows/bombs/etc.
  
• Corrected a bug where walking onto the Stone Giant's hand after he was dead might still deal damage to you.
  
• Added a potential fix for a bug that would prevent you from grabbing your sword when first loading in. [We haven't been able to reproduce this, so please let us know if you encounter this one.]
  
• Added a potential fix for a bug that would prevent you from respawning on death and would leave your view stuck as black. [We haven't been able to reproduce this one either, so please let us know if you encounter it.]

Additions and Improvements

Story Elements! (Finally, amirite?)

• Master Abardon now speaks to you and doesn't exclusively stare off into space regardless of where you're standing. He's still a bit rough around the edges but a marked improvement from before.
  
• We've added the first cut scene to the game! You'll now get to witness Dragore's arrival and the conequences of it instead of finding out from a tool tip upon your return at the end of the tutorial.
  
• The merchant is no longer an animated mannequin. He speaks(and maybe more importantly, blinks lol) and has a fair amount of knowledge about the world and your quest.
  
• Dialogue is here! The merchant doesn't only go off on epic villain style monologues...this is a conversation. He'll routinely wait for your responses and answer back accordingly. This can be done by selecting a response with your controller or...
  
• Voice Recognition! If you're using Windows 10 with a language pack that supports voice recognition, you can speak your responses in dialogue scenarios for the sweet extra 'mersion. Make sure your HMD or preferred microphone is set as the default recording device in Windows to take advantage of this.
  
• Beyond what the merchant tells you, we've also increased the atmosphere in the Forbidden Mine dungeon with some additional ambient sound and occasional rumbles as mentioned in the foreman's log found early in the dungeon.
  
  New Weapons and Interactions
  
• The shop now sells Scepters! These magical weapons function similarly to swords when held, but reduce the mana cost of all magic and have a chance to not consume mana at all when casting a spell. Scepters can NOT be enchanted.
  
• Iron ore has been scattered around the world, which can be mined with your pick axe. This new resource is valuable and useful for...
  
• Crafting! There are recipes scattered (read: hidden) around the world that, once brought back to the shop, can be used to craft new swords, should you have enough iron to make them.
  
• Swords, crafted or otherwise, can be melted down at the new forge to salvage iron from them.
  
  Pacing and Visual Improvements
  
• The shop has undergone a complete remake to accommodate the new items for sale and interactions that have been added, as well as to create room for future additions (Looking at you, consumables).
  
• Added a ton of visual detail around the first dungeon and tutorial mines--mostly grass and rocks to help everything feel a bit more lively and less sterile.
  
• Reworked a handful of encounters before the Spider Queen boss to introduce you to her friends and take better advantage of your new spell.
  
• Placed iron ore in some of the more empty sections of the Forbidden Mine to keep things more consistently interesting and engaging.
  
• Re-textured the merchant to accompany his new, less statue-esque role in the game.
  
• Chests have had their textures changed.
  
  Miscellaneous Improvements
  
• Your footsteps will now better reflect the surface you're walking on. Specifically, if you're walking through water or other liquids, it'll sound like it.
  
• Enemies can now still be parried after they've struck you. Previously, once damage had been taken, their attacks were no longer blockable. This may have lead to a feeling that parries weren't registering. Hopefully this change will help avoid that.
  
• Increased the size of enemy weapon hitboxes to reduce the chance of a parry not registering.
  
• Added an indicator above the return portal in the Isle of the Divines that will tell you how many perk points you currently have to spend.
  
• The enchantment cooldown perk now also increases the chance to free cast with scepters.
  
• Added some much needed fanfare to the mana upgrade interaction with Mana Veins.
  
• Added some much needed fanfare to the health upgrade interaction with Life Fruits.
  
• Added some much needed fanfare to the looting of treasure chests.
  
• Added some music to the Forbidden Mine dungeon to create a more interesting/mystical atmosphere.
  
• Rewrote our culling system. The game will now load in a bit faster and run smoother. Probably most notably, those minor hitches you'd sometimes experience while traversing the world are gone!
  
• Additional optimization. The game now runs smoother than ever before.
  

Bug Fixes


• Corrected the erratic behavior of some hinged objects like levers and doors that occured every other time a scene was loaded.
  
• Fixed a potential mana potion dupe.
  
• Fixed a potential Elixir of the Gods dupe.
  
• Fixed an exploit where you could sell empty mana potion bottles back to the merchant.
  
• Removed an invisible wall at the end of Chapter 1 that wasn't supposed to be there.
  
• Fixed a bug that would prevent you from teleporting if holding a fireball in your teleporting hand.
  
• Fixed a bug that could occasionally make your hands behave incorrectly (unable to grab, for example) in very rare cases where attempting to control something with kinesis would fail.
  
  

  Known Issues

  
  
• We've temporarily removed support for LIV MR as we found an issue with it that caused the game to run very poorly when launched from Steam. We're investigating getting this re-added in future.

• Increased the range at which an inventory slot can be selected for some larger storable items.
  
• Set the game to automatically open as a maximized window as some people have found the game to run poorly when not maximized/having focus. This can be changed by holding ctrl when launching the game.
  
• Melee enemies no longer have invulnerability frames while dodging. Instead, they take severely reduced damage while performing the dodge animation.
  
• Striking an enemy's weapon while swinging your sword will now result in reduced damage upon striking an enemy. This is denoted by a crossed swords icon behind the damage notification.
  
• Tweaked the parry window for some of the melee goblin's attacks to be more lenient toward early parries.
  
• Increased the prices of weapons in the shop to be more in line with the amount of gold the player can earn throughout the first dungeon.

Full Patch Notes:

Additions and Improvements


• Greatly improved the ability to target larger objects with Kinesis.
  
• Bombs can now be stored in your backpack for later use.
  
• Improved the enemy pathfinding a bit. Enemies sinking into the floor should be even more rare than it already was.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the player could receive damage from the final boss of chapter one if they loaded into a save where he was already dead.
  
• Fixed a bug where attempting to place a new sword in your sheath would not store the old one in your inventory if it was full and would allow you to have both swords in the sheath. It still won't place the old sword in your backpack if its full, but it won't let you put both swords in the one sheath.
  
• Fixed a bug where starting a new game after returning to the main menu from a save that had completed the tutorial would auto-complete the tutorial in the new save.
  

Full Patch Notes:

Windows Mixed Reality Support:


• Throwing (fireballs and other objects) has been completely reworked for WMR. Gone are the days of fireballs shooting straight to the ground!
  
• Archery on WMR has been reworked to amplify your draw distance. It's now possible to fully draw back the bowstring without placing your controller out of view of the HMD.
  
• Locomotion and snap turning controls on WMR have been moved to the analog sticks.
  
• Added new tooltips to the locomotion portion of the tutorial explaining the new controls for WMR users.

Full Patch Notes:

Additions and Improvements


• Reworked the layout of the inventory system. Equipment and consumables now share slots, while a new section has been added for quest items that will be coming to the game.
  
• Mana potions and apples found around the world can now be stored in your inventory.
  
• You can now place items into your inventory by reaching into the bag instead of selecting a specific slot. Items stored this way will be placed into the first available slot.
  
• The shop keeper now buys and sells apples and mana potions.
  
• Mana potions have had the amount of mana increased raised from 25 to 50.
  
• Changed the collision on the pillars in the Forbidden Mine.
  
• Apples now need to be brought closer to your mouth to be consumed to avoid accidentally eating them while reaching over your shoulder to store them.
  
• Gave the troll boss a slight makeover.
  
• Tweaked the size and speed of the comfort vignette setting to block more and expand a bit more slowly.
  
• A handful of minor changes to lighting and some materials.
  
• When loading in to a save with unspent perk points (meaning you saved and quit while in the Isle of the Divines) an Elixir of the Gods will spawn into your hand instead of being placed into your inventory as it had been to avoid any issues should your inventory be full.
  

Bug Fixes


• Corrected some tool tips activating early during the tutorial.
  

Additions and Changes


• Moved the comfort settings to the second page of the options book, below graphics settings.
  
• Added a new setting for limiting your FoV. This is set to activate when moving/climbing by default. It can be customized in the options menu under comfort settings.
  
• Changed the melee perk to say "melee" instead of "sword" to accommodate future weapon types that may be added to the game.
  

Full Patch Notes:

Additions and Improvements


• Melee enemies will now spawn in with a random assortment of armor pieces equipped. Striking these enemies in armored locations will result in reduced damage. Precision and tactics are much more important now!
  
• Reworked the core mechanic of the final boss fight. The encounter will require slightly less mana and should be a tad easier to figure out.
  
• Added a color change to the teleport arc and reticle to better indicate when moving slowly enough to remain undetected while in stealth.
  
• Added a tooltip during the tutorial to explain the new stealth mechanics.
  
• Reworked the way the game calculates your last location when resetting your position after falling into a void. It should no longer be possible to fall into a falling loop.
  
• Tweaked some values in the melee enemy AI to create a more fluid combat experience. Enemies are now more likely to strafe and less likely to stand still after being parried but not staggered.
  
• Changed the way to deselect a discipline of magic from the magic selection menu. Passing a discipline will no longer deselect it. You can now only clear your selection by swiping into the center of the menu.
  
• Added some additional gold ore and an additional chest to The Forbidden Mine to create better pacing and encourage additional exploration.
  

Bug Fixes


• Fixed a bug that would create a falling loop for people using comfort fall settings when entering the first mine in the tutorial zone.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could potentially teleport to just outside your front door before you're supposed to in the tutorial by aiming the reticle just right.
  
• Fixed some faulty collision around The Forbidden Mine.
  
• Corrected some sections of The Forbidden Mine that were being incorrectly occlusion culled if loading in near the end of the dungeon.
