“Epic Rage” Bug Fix Event – Phase 4: Honestly, We Didn’t Even Have Time to Say MuchWe’ll keep working hard to make every day a more enjoyable experience for our lucky players—wake up to something new every day!Let’s start with three humble requests: please leave a good review, go all-in on your pulls, and join us in co-creating the experience and future of “Lucky King vs. Unlucky Player”!Updates & ImprovementsBug Fix: We sincerely apologize—due to dizziness and fatigue last night, new players were unable to properly enter the “tutorial storyline”… it was completely broken. This has now been fixed in this update.Ongoing Issue: We’ve identified one possible cause of the sudden battle freezes. We'll continue investigating today and hope to fully resolve it in upcoming updates.Highly Requested Feature: Battle speed now starts at x2, and each speed upgrade adds +1. Additionally, we plan to introduce a future feature where multiple cards can act simultaneously, for a smoother gameplay experience.Fixes & Adjustments:✅ Fixed: Duplicate skill issue in the “Hero Star Upgrade Recommendation” system. It can now be used as intended.✅ Fixed: “Card Pack Rate-Up” and “Guaranteed Pull” effects in rebirth upgrades. No more suffering for unlucky players—stand up and pull with confidence!✅ Fixed: “Deployable Unit Count” upgrade in rebirth now works correctly.⚙️ Adjusted: Lucky Stars previously enabled exploitative farming and hurt normal gameplay. They will no longer increase rebirth point gain. Instead, they now directly grant 200 / 400 / 600 / 800 / 1000 gold, helping players get through the early game and “rob the bank” faster.⚙️ Adjusted: In the utility item pack, the Supreme Quality Fusion Card (Red) can now benefit from both rate-up and guaranteed mechanics.More updates are coming in Phase 5 of the “Epic Rage” Fix Event—we’re aiming for 1–2 more updates today! Let’s go, go, go! 🚀

Hello, This is the development team. Due to a sudden surge in concurrent players, it appears that an issue has occurred with the Steam item server. We've identified delays when opening boxes, as well as delays with the Cube. We have requested assistance from Steam and will do our best to resolve this as quickly as possible. We are currently receiving reports of bugs where gold or items disappear when performing Cube actions such as Alchemy, Decoration, Engraving, and Inscription. We sincerely ask that you refrain from using these features until the server is back to normal.In addition, an issue is occurring where items are not being received when purchased in bulk on the Steam Market. Our development team is currently working on a fix. Until it is complete, we kindly ask that you refrain from making bulk purchases. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to your gameplay. We will work to restore everything to normal as quickly as possible. Thank you. ※ If an item disappears when you open a box or use the Cube, try pressing the refresh button in your mailbox — you should be able to find the item there. (*The mailbox may also respond slowly at the moment due to the server issue.)

This update introduces difficulty scaling for Void Beacons above level 100, fixes issues during drop collection, and improves performance and stability. ・Implemented difficulty scaling for Void Beacons exceeding level 100. 　・Each level above 100 increases the chance of more powerful Void variants appearing. 　・Enemy HP now increases based on the level above 100, optimizing late-game combat balance. ・Fixed issues related to drop item collection. 　・Resolved a stability issue where the game could become unstable when Void Drones or the player collected items in high-load situations with massive item drops. ・Adjusted the despawn time for dropped items to 2 minutes to reduce performance load.

Another batch of fixes is live, covering window behavior, quest progress, inventory filters, ranch upgrades, combat labels, and a few player-reported UI issues. Window & UI Fixes Window size now saves between sessions - The game now remembers its window size, position, and maximized state. On your next launch, it should open where you left it instead of defaulting to 1920x1080. This was much harder to test than I thought it would be ;) Hopefully it works on all machines! No-weapon warning restored - Combat and Dungeons now show a warning when you have no weapon equipped. Unarmed attacks always deal exactly 1 damage per swing, regardless of your stats. Structure & Ranch Fixes Upgrade requirements are now always visible - The Chicken Coop, Animal Pen, and Horse Stable now show their upgrade requirements even when you cannot afford them yet. The Upgrade button stays visible but disabled until all requirements are met. Save & Feedback Fixes Save button now gives feedback - The top-header Save button now shows "Saving..." while your save is being written and "Saved!" once it completes. Quest & Objective Fixes Quest skill progress now starts correctly - Quests that require a skill level now show your current level as soon as the quest is accepted instead of starting at 0. "Arm the Frontier" counter fixed - This quest no longer shows a confusing "2/2" counter next to the housing upgrade requirement. It now simply says to upgrade housing to Timber House. Inventory & Filter Fixes Nests now open instantly - Seedy Nests, Glimmering Nests, Large Seedy Nests, and Large Glimmering Nests now open directly from your inventory, just like treasure chests. Right-click to open one, or use the focus panel to open many at once. Phial filter fixed - Phials of Precision now appear under the Misc filter instead of Consumable. Arrow filter fixed - Ashen Husk Arrows, Copperleaf Arrows, and other arrows now correctly appear under the Ammo filter. Combat & Class Label Fixes Ammo stat labels now...

- Fixed an issue with some combinations of system languages and system region formatting that would break text in game. If you had blank text on the PC in game, this should finally be fixed. This was genuinely the strangest and worst bug I've ever had to track down, so I appreciate everyone's patience!

Hey everyone! It's been a wild release day, and I'm super overwhelmed by your support and response! I'm aware of the issues that players with ultra-wide displays are having. To that effect, I've just put out a hotfix with v1.0.1 that should hopefully make the game playable on ultra-wide displays. Please update the game and try again, and please let me know if you're still having those issues in the comments of this post! Thanks and see you all soon!- Shaun (dev)

A bunch of fixes today, covering animal husbandry, dungeons, automation settings, and more. Animal Husbandry Fixed: Removing two animals of the same type from the ranch now creates two separate inventory items instead of merging them into one stack. Growth, quality, and speed are always preserved when removing any animal - even brand-new ones. Fixed: Animals returned from the ranch to your inventory now show their stored stats in the item details panel. Click the animal in your inventory to see Quality, Growth progress, and Speed (for horses). Re-adding the animal to a ranch restores all of these stats. Fixed: Removing an animal from the Chicken Coop, Animal Pen, or Horse Stable now returns it to your inventory instead of permanently deleting it. Growth progress, quality tier, and horse speed are all preserved. Fixed: If your inventory is full when you try to remove an animal, the removal is now blocked and you are notified. The animal stays safely in the building until you free up space. Balance: Horses purchased from the Market Board now start with a base speed of 10 to 40 (previously 20 to 100). High speeds are still earned through breeding. Dungeons Fixed: Dying in a dungeon now stops the auto-run session. Previously, if you died while dungeon automation was running, the game would wait 5 seconds and then start the next run automatically - even if your build wasn't strong enough to survive. Fixed: Auto-heal potions now fire correctly during dungeon runs. Previously, potions were only consumed during open-world combat. Both regular enemy packs and treasure-room ambushes now check your auto-potion setting. Automation & Settings Fixed: Auto-eat, auto-potion, auto-buff, auto-ammo, and forge auto-feed settings are no longer reset when you rebirth. Your choices carry over automatically. Fixed: Layout preferences (collapsed/expanded zones and skill sections) now survive rebirth as well. Fixed: Your HP now starts at full after a rebirth, rather than showing a lower valu...

Hello everyone,A quick hotfix to calm ECHO down, she was trying to fill up crew even though it was at capacity already.Added/Changed- ECHO will only get new crewmembers when the total dips below 50%. We'll introduce an option to adjust this in the near future- Panicked units in a boarding operation will try to flee if possible. Player units go back to the staging area- Ships with level above 80 will flee the area when the boarding operation is going bad for them. This is a temporary measure untill we get rid of the final level cap. (yeah we cannot wait either :)- Some text readibilty improvementsFixes- Loop where ECHO gets stuck buying new crew members fixed- Fix for ECHO trying to travel from a position in space that no longer has a POI resulting in it not being able to travel and spawning the notification "We are already here".Cheers, Bat Roost GamesEnable the beta versionMake sure to keep an old save game when switching to the beta, just in case. We always make sure that your save games will keep working, but as long as the beta is ahead of the release, the beta save game won't work on the release version until it catches up.To take part go to Manage and select Properties for Vanguard Galaxy in Steam:And select the open-beta under Game Versions & Betas as shown below.

Hi everybody! ːPhhelperː The Demo for Boby and the Witch is now available to download and play! ːPdogːThis was one of the first games I ever made, originally developed back in the mid '90s when I was around 10 years old (which probably makes it a true retro game by now).It was later included as a hidden game in Fjong, but it was never released on Steam as a standalone title. I thought it would be fun to finally release it as its own game.Most of the game has been left untouched, with all of its original flaws and jankiness still intact—for memory’s sake.The only real additions are Steam achievements and two unlockables for completing the game fast enough: the Speed Cap and the Jump Cape.The game is extremely short, free to play, and can be completed in one sitting (in under 5 minutes). The proper (also free) version will be available June 30th. As for my current development I am working on finishing a demo version for No Life: Zombie Survivor and sketching out some new ideas for Plantera 3 on the side!You can also follow my Steam Developer Page to get automatically notified of any of my releases! ːPcatː

Hello, Chroma Engineers!The stabilization effort continues thanks to all your reports and feedback! I truly thank you for reporting your findings and sending your suggestions! This time there are some quality of life improvements, balance and many many bugs fixed! Also, a feedback suggested the following: ragebaitadd a single stray pixel somewhere in the game. While the idea is novel, I have instead added a hidden pixel in the game and if you find it, you will get an achievement :) Patch Notes - Version 1.9.3GLOBALFixed Bug: Added extra Steam launch safeguards for cases where the game window could start at 0 FPS until fullscreen or resize woke the display.Fixed Bug: Added web launch guards so the splash screen cannot trap Itch.io players in a repeat loop.Fixed Bug: Star Chart, Fractured Void, and Home World map buffers now refresh automatically to prevent long-session white pixel artifacts from stale graphics textures.Fixed Bug: The Null Store upgrade list scrollbar can now be dragged without a scroll wheel.Fixed Bug: Feedback window scrolling and dragging now stays inside the feedback form instead of zooming or panning the view behind it.Fixed Bug: Home World reset is no longer available after Stage 5 is complete, preventing later-stage saves from re-entering Stage 5 systems.Added: The Codex now has a Mark Available Read button to clear unread notifications for currently available logs at once.NULL / VOID HUNTFixed Bug: Saving now keeps the offline timer synced in memory, preventing confusing Null Essence jumps after autosaves, tabbing out, or returning to the game.Fixed Bug: Stage 8 players now earn offline Null Essence in every phase.Fixed Bug: Stage 9 Null Essence Storage now correctly increases the offline Null Essence cap.Fixed Bug: Leaving Warp Speed on no longer blocks normal offline Null Essence, unless Stage 9 Act 3 is actively using Warp Speed for its offline simulation.Fixed Bug: Stage 9 players now earn normal offline Null Essence again after Act 3 is c...

Hello.This is the TBH : Task Bar Hero development team.

Hello necromancers! Today, we have some news for you, but we want to provide you with a bit of context before we dive in. We’ve been working on Greenhearth Necromancer for the past two+ years. It started as a game jam, with everyone collaborating to develop the concept, and it quickly grew from there. Over time, our team would expand as people came on to help develop every aspect of it. The final game you can play today is a project passionately created by a talented team that poured their hearts and wisdom into it. Developing and then launching a game of any size is a massive undertaking, a ton of work, and reaching that point always feels like a minor miracle. Since launch, we’ve spent the last few weeks addressing a host of small issues, requests, and bugs, and have released three patches to continue improving the game. We have one more minor patch in the works, due to arrive next Tuesday, June 2nd. Thank you so very much to our passionate, dedicated, and patient players who have helped us find those bugs! Because of our incredible community and also the intense focus of our very talented programmer, we’ve gotten Greenhearth Necromancer to a place we’re really proud of. There are no further major patches or expansions planned for the game in the immediate future. However, we will continue to support the game by addressing any critical bugs, such as crashes or progression blockers. Meanwhile, any minor bugs, community feedback, and feature suggestions will be tracked, but we will not be able to implement further changes to address them at this time. In today’s Steam market, games are often pushed to be a never-ending live service experience, but the truth is that just isn’t possible for every game. There may be a day down the road when the success of Greenhearth Necromancer allows us to dream a bit bigger, with maybe a DLC or more major content patches, and if that happens, we will absolutely be looking at the suggestions our community has left for us. We are not ...

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29347222/feff0f9f223326356ad2c6d3f8052cf88d9d4482.png Trixie the Pixie has been a forgettable nuisance for the Champions for a long time, often appearing astride some charmed creature and always up to some mischief. Ambitious and daring, Trixie desperately grasps at a life larger than she's been given, and blames the Champions for their constant meddling in her affairs. Driven to desperation by her many failed attempts at seizing power and influence, Trixie sets out to try a new scheme. She's seen firsthand that the Champions are always hiring. If she can't beat them, she'll join them! Trixie the Pixie is a Support, Debuff, and Control Champion who provides new options for creating formations with small (fairy, gnome, goblin, halfling, kender, kobold, and plasmoid) Champions. She increases the damage of Champions next to her, and this buff grows as you increase the number of small Champions in your formation. To help with this, she reduces the size of any non-small Champions in the two formation slots behind her and any Champions who share a species with either of them. Once unlocked, you can find this fairy druid in Seat 8 (Delina). To learn everything you need to know about this small Champion with serious swagger, read on!

🛠️ Patch Notes — Ice Tree & Overall Optimization Hello, this is the developer. This patch focuses on the frame hitches and load buildup that have been reported around Ice tree builds. Five main causes have been traced down and addressed step by step. If you have Re:Blade installed, the update downloads automatically — just restart the game. ⚡ Performance Optimizations ▶ Ice explosion frame cap (8 per frame) Reined in the load from Freeze + Hidden Awakening builds where the Ice explosion was multiplying on every hit. Capped explosion triggers at 8 per frame. No change to explosion damage or targets — the optimization is purely about how often it fires. ▶ Ice VFX component caching Cached the internal component lookups that were happening every time an Ice VFX played, removing that overhead. ▶ Spread out on-kill respawn processing Resolved the physics spikes that happened when many monsters died at once with the 100% on-kill respawn option. Instead of spawning synchronously at the moment of kill, spawns are now queued and spread across frames at a fixed budget. Highest impact on cases where Ice explosions wipe out a lot of monsters at the same time. ▶ Disabled hit animation on regular monsters Disabled the hit animation on regular monsters, removing the compute overhead when many were getting hit at once. Hit feedback is unchanged — you still get the flash / sound / damage number / knockback. Boss monsters keep their existing hit reactions. ▶ Max XP orbs on screen at once (80) Resolved the UI update load that built up when a large number of XP orbs accumulated on screen. Capped on-screen XP orbs at 80. XP is still granted 100%. Anything beyond the cap is credited instantly without an orb showing — your actual EXP gain doesn't change. 💬 Thank you Genuine thanks to every player who reported the Ice tree load issues in detail and shared setup info — that's what made it possible to track down the main causes quickly. If you notice anything else off, please leave a comment ...
