StarCrawlers: "Beautify-"Update 1.1.4.1 veröffentlicht

Mon, 04 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Für StarCrawlers, dem Roguelike-RPG-Dungeon-Crawler, steht nun das “Beautify”-Update 1.1.4.1 auf Steam für Linux bereit.

StarCrawlers has been updated with a Beautify feature! This optional feature enhances texture fidelity and sharpness, lighting appearance and effects, and enhances visuals overall. In the course of working on our next project (more news soon!) we experimented with retroactively applying the visual upgrades to StarCrawlers - and it worked :) The Beautify feature should not have any noticeable impact on the performance or resource usage of the base game. Beautify is enabled by default and can be turned off in the Graphics menu if desired. UPDATED 04 May 2020

Dead Cells: kostenloser DLC "Rise of the Giant" veröffentlicht

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Ein kostenloser DLC zu dem fantastischen Roguelike “Dead Cells” ist ab sofort für Linux auf Steam und bald auf GOG erhältlich!

A FREE DLC!?!? ARE YOU MAD?: Since we began development on Dead Cells, many years ago now, we’ve been completely blown away by the amazing reaction of the community. Without your support and feedback we wouldn’t be where we are today. Rise of the Giant is our way of saying thank you. Here’s a free DLC with a bunch of new content, mostly aimed at the people who have been hanging around since day 1, it’s high level and should offer more challenge than most sane people would think reasonable. Features: New levels: You’ve got a new level that’s connected to the main level structure and immediately available to anyone who’s finished the game at least once. You’ve got another (poorly) hidden level, for the masochists who know that there is a Boss Cell 5 New Bosses: Mirroring the above, you’ve got a new completely different type of boss available in the main level structure, with another INSANELY difficult boss hidden behind even more ridiculously difficult content. New content: There are 10 new enemies, 13 new weapons/skills and a bunch of other upgrades to core game systems. There are additions to the story/lore of the game, new secrets, new blueprints and… Skins: People have been requesting this for ages and we’ve finally found the time to make the necessary changes to accomadate the request. You’ve now got access to female skins, fluro skins and a christmas tree skin, cos why the hell not. On top of these major changes we’re continuously trying to update the game in ways that make it more challenging and more just, all the while remaining open to new players. As such you will notice that the difficulty has been rebalanced so that the entry level of the game, while extremely challenging is now in line with the 5 extra difficulty levels available to those who like to suffer. We hope that you like Rise of the Giant and would like to remind you that we’re not done, we’ll be continuing to make content for the game for as long as you keep demanding it, so feel free to let us know what you’d like to see and if we can make any changes that would make you happy.

We have a new modding menu where you can select any amount of mods you want to run in your game Steam Workshop support. You can subscribe to mods on steam and they will get automatically downloaded into your game. You can also upload new mods directly from the game and see the current mod ratings. Steam is not required for mods though No coding required! We have a simple text format which allows to add any new content. These are the same tools that we used during development. Add items, characters, enemies, dice, statuses, events, worlds and much more. We went through all our scripts and made sure that they have nice entry points for being moddable. We made all of our text and image content open source. You can see it at https://github.com/Maschinen-Mensch/curiousexpedition and use it as inspiration for your own mods or games Access lots of ingame debugging tools which allow you to spawn any entity or run any event on the fly. We actually improved the dev tools so much beyond of what we used during development that we are bit jealous of you now (it’s fine though) We’re shipping the game with multiple example mods (including the t-rex, scientific assistant and yakul mods) We’ve prepared extensive wiki documentation and tutorials for you to check out at http://curious-expedition.wikia.com/wiki/Modding:Home. If you have more questions also please join our discord server https://discord.gg/maschinen-mensch and chat with us and other modders directly We created a free extension for the free Visual Studio Code text editor. Go to https://code.visualstudio.com/ to download the editor and enter TCE Script in the extension settings to download our plugin. It will give you proper syntax highlighting and search functionality making working with the script files much more convenient. This is just the start of our modding tools. We’re looking forward to your feedback and will add more functionality to support your ideas. Achievements! We added over 60 new cool achievements to the game (some of them are secret) There is a new section in the hall of fame allowing you to see all the achievements and your progress These achievements are synched to steam achievements, which you can show off on your steam profile. Steam is not required for achievements though Almost all our achievements track their progress separately for each difficulty level, so once you’ve mastered easy or medium difficulty, you can try your luck again on a harder difficulty For now achievements are disabled when mods are enabled Main Menu New background graphics Added a news section allowing you to read about development news from within the game Nicer UI elements (checkboxes and exit buttons) Added animated campfire to several event screens Added new secret explorers Added new sound effects for some aftermath events English text will be shown as fallback if no localized string is available Tuning Lone survivor perk fills up full sanity bar when triggered Made climbing gear slightly stronger and climber perk slightly weaker Increased ship water refill to 20 units Angry native zones can never become unaggroed now (unless they are sleeping) Restricted most quests to appear before final expedition Missionary quest is now automatically resolved when entering the village Remove local curses when stepping through portals Corruption sprawls will no longer kill enemies Tesla gun now benefits from gun expert perk No random fires can happen when packing a camp up anymore.

Darkest Dungeon: neuer DLC Shieldbreaker und Build #21049 veröffentlicht

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Zu dem Roguelike-RPG Darkest Dungeon ist ein neuer (Bezahl-)DLC erschienen: Shieldbreaker. Dieser fügt dem Spiel eine neue Heldenklasse, den namensgebenden Shieldbreaker, hinzu:

About This Content Note: The DLC is currently only available in English but we are working on the translations! The rest of our supported languages (Simplified Chinese, German, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Polish, and Brazilian PR) will be available in a few days (expected on Oct 31). We apologize for the inconvenience and are working as fast as we can on this. “And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand.” -Pierre Loti Hailing from the distant windswept dunes of the east, the Shieldbreaker arrives in the Hamlet! Deadly as a viper, her iron will has been forged in the heat of the blazing desert sun. Though outwardly demure, her emancipation from the barren wastes came at a price so terrible, it haunts her dreams even now… Features: New hero class: the Shieldbreaker Dynamic, tactical skill set for the Shieldbreaker featuring all new combat mechanics including: Armor Piercing, Guard Break, and Stealth Shieldbreaker class-specific trinkets, including a set. 3 New Monsters - frightful illusions from the Shieldbreaker’s origin, now slithering forward to infest the Estate New Consumable Item - Aegis Scale, providing a last bastion of protection for when a hero truly needs it. The Shieldbreaker is a powerful ally in the fight to reclaim the Estate and banish the evil that squats in the Darkest Dungeon. A highly-tactical hero with solid damage dealing capability, she truly excels when countering monsters with high protection and those who guard their allies. Her movement, speed, and targeted abilities make her a valuable ally for dismantling intractable monster groups. Though relatively low health, the Shieldbreaker is yet highly survivable in short bursts thanks to her Aegis shield.
