Hey everyone, solo dev here! I've been polishing the multiplayer experience to make matches more strategic, visual, and stable. Here is a quick, to-the-point list of what is now live: ⏱️ Clocks & Turn HUD Right HUD Thematic Clocks: Moved timers to custom, board-themed clock cards on the right side of the board. Features dynamic Steam name displays and a centerpiece turn banner ("YOUR MOVE" / "OPPONENT'S MOVE") that pulses colors using sine-wave animations. Desync-free Timers: Changed to client clock authority. Your client ticks down your clock, and your opponent's ticks down theirs, syncing the remaining time and +5s increment on every move. No more false timeouts due to packet latency. Clean UI: Hidden campaign passive displays ("+10/s") in multiplayer. 🔌 Reconnections & Game Flow Inactivity Warning: Added a "RECONNECTING..." overlay if no packets are received from the opponent for 60 seconds. Transitions to a disconnect screen after a 5-second grace period where you can claim a victory immediately. Color-Swap Rematch: Added a "REMATCH (X/2)" button. Voting resets the board and swaps player colors (former Host plays White, former Joiner plays Black). Instant Re-queue: Added a "PLAY AGAIN" button on match completion that leaves the lobby and queues you up for a new matchmaking lobby immediately. 🧠 Self-Play (Analysis) Mode Local Opening Study: Added a "Self-Play (Analysis)" button at the bottom of the multiplayer mode menu. Move pieces for BOTH colors locally turn-by-turn to test opening combinations. Balanced Stats: Uses multiplayer base stats (King HP 15, Queen HP 12, flat damage, Pawn front attacks) without clocks or network replication. Reset & Quit Actions: Includes a quick Reset Board button to clear the board and restore pieces, plus a Quit button to return to the menu cleanly.

Hello everyone,First, I'd like to apologize for the issues introduced with the latest update. Unfortunately, it appears that the controller support update caused several unexpected problems that need to be addressed.To ensure everyone can continue playing without these issues, we will be reverting the main game build to the last stable version that was available before the update.At the same time, we will keep the controller support version available as a beta branch for players who would like to continue testing it or for those who are not experiencing any problems with it.To access the beta build, right-click the game in your library, select Properties, then navigate to Betas (or Game Versions/Betas, depending on your platform). From there, choose the Controller Support build from the available branches.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and support. We are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and will keep you updated on our progress.Thank you.

Hello, This is the development team behind TBH: Task Bar Hero.As the service disruption is continuing, we are posting this message to share real-time updates on our recovery progress. We will continue to provide live status updates through this post until the game is fully restored.\\ Hello, this is the Task Bar Hero development team. We are reaching out to inform you that a significant decrease in box drop rates has been reported. We want to assure you that we never adjust box drop rates arbitrarily without an official announcement. Given that Steam servers are under excessive load, we suspect that Steam may have imposed call rate limits on their end. In the meantime, our team is continuously preparing an improved build internally to restore things to normal. We will do our best to have it ready as quickly as possible. We will continue to keep you updated with any important information as it becomes available. Thank you.\ Hello everyone, we have just received an update from Steam and would like to share the details with you. The current server issues are caused by cheaters sending abnormal item creation requests to Steam's servers. Additionally, we have been informed that our total item count is too high and will need to be reduced. We have already reached out to Steam for further support on this matter. We will continue to keep you updated as our communication with Steam progresses. Thank you for your patience and understanding.We are doing our utmost to restore the service as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to your gaming experience.Thank you.
A couple more updates covering a frustrating skill-gate bug, and a side quest that wasn't pulling its weight. Estate and Ranch Skill Requirement Fix (v2.23.1) This one was quietly frustrating players who prestige-reset their skills. If you leveled Animal Husbandry to 25, unlocked your Ranch structures, and then reset the skill - the upgrade requirements would re-lock even though you had already met them this rebirth. Same issue affected Estate room builds and Housing upgrades tied to skill levels. What changed: The game now tracks your highest skill level reached this rebirth for every skill. Housing upgrades, Estate room builds and upgrades, and Animal Ranch structure upgrades all check that peak level - not your current one. The skill requirement badges in the Estate and Ranch pages now display your peak level so you can see the correct met/unmet status even after a prestige reset. Existing saves are automatically updated on load - no action needed. Side Quest Cleanup (v2.23.2) The "Focused Training" side quest has been removed. It asked you to "start skill training sessions" - which happens automatically any time you switch tasks. It required no deliberate effort and rewarded almost nothing, making it feel like padding next to every other side quest. What changed: "Focused Training" will no longer appear as a new side quest. Any copies currently in progress will expire at the next regular side quest refresh (every 30 minutes) and won't be replaced. Feedback Welcome Found a bug or have a suggestion?

Hello,This is the development team for TBH: Task Bar Hero.We sincerely apologize once again for the inconvenience caused to our players.Earlier this morning, we released an initial update aimed at improving response times. However, as the number of concurrent players increased again, that fix proved ineffective.We are currently experiencing an outage with the Steam platform's item server, which is causing Chest Opening and the Cube to malfunction.Additionally, there have been ongoing reports of items disappearing when the Cube is used.In order to minimize losses for our players, we have issued another temporary update that restricts certain features. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please make sure to apply this update.The development team is currently preparing additional countermeasures and will deploy a new build as soon as it is ready.The restricted features are as follows:\Cube — Alchemy, Crafting, Decoration, Engraving, Inscription, Removal, CraftingWe sincerely apologize once again for the disruption to your gameplay experience.We are deeply sorry for falling short of your expectations, and we are truly grateful for your continued support.We will do our best to bring you another update notice as soon as possible.Thank you.— TBH: Task Bar Hero Development Team
UI patches and Controller Issues Fixed Multiplayer Mode Fixes 1.

Fixed a UI issue when playing as black in multiplayer mode it would say Enemy Pawn On black pieces 3. Allowed the ability to play in a private lobby with friends General UI Fix Fixed an issue of gold gain going off screen at the top of the board
A large batch of fixes and improvements is live today, covering gem sockets, Alteration and Inscription pages, and familiar persistence. Gem Sockets: Stability Overhaul Gem socket data is now stored directly on the item instead of in a separate slot-based system. This fixes several silent data-loss issues reported since sockets launched. Selling unrelated items no longer removes socketed gems - Inscribed or altered gems socketed into jewelry will no longer disappear when you sell another item. This was a sneaky one! Unequipping socketed jewelry now preserves gem data - Rings and amulets with socketed gems now stay as unique inventory items so their gem data travels with them. If all gems are removed, and the item has no inscription or alteration, it can merge back into the plain stack as before. Improved Inscribe and Alter Functionality The Alteration and Inscription pages now show equipped (socketed) gems directly in their lists. You no longer need to unequip gems before working on them. I'm aware of the UI strangeness with how inscription shows socketed gems. I'll work on that more soon. Socketed gems can now be altered or inscribed directly - Socketed gems appear as individual entries beneath their ring or amulet, so you no longer need to remove them first. Equipped items update directly - Altering or inscribing equipped gear no longer splits a copy from your inventory stack. The equipped item itself is updated. Alteration panel banner now uses the right reason - The info banner now correctly says "socketed", "inscribed", or "equipped" depending on why the item is already unique. Socketed gem tooltips now show full stats - Hovering a socketed gem in the equipment panel now shows base stats plus alteration and inscription bonuses. Jewelry tooltips now include enhanced gem stats - Hovering a ring or amulet now shows each socketed gem's total stats, including alteration and inscription bonuses. Familiars Remember You Removing a familiar from the Menagerie and placin...
When a tutorial starts while a menu such as Settings is open, the game now automatically returns to the main screen. Right-click back behavior is also restricted during tutorials so it only works when the tutorial explicitly expects it. This should reduce situations where the game appears stuck due to an unexpected screen state.
Fixed a bug where the tutorial floor was shown beind the actual current floor
Hey, after every major update people come to me asking for more achievements.I know that this is a controversial topic, since there are people who would like to get new achievements frequently, while others like to 100% a game and never go back to it.Since I'm pretty sure Steam doesn't have polls yet, I would like you to reply in the comments with your vote:Comment "1" if you'd like new achievements on major updatesComment "2" if you don'tThat's it! Based on your votes I'll figure out what to do in future updates.Oh, and if you haven't already, don't forget to wishlist my upcoming game How to Grow Your Sausage. The demo will be available very soon!Thank you and have a great day!-Ang
Whoops, the turtle was missing Found the turtle and added it back in.

Hello.This is the TBH : Task Bar Hero development team. The game has been updated to ver 1.00.06. As we expect the Steam server situation to take a little more time to improve, we have temporarily applied logic that improves the interaction speed of chests and the Cube.Please close the game you are currently playing, install the new update, and then relaunch it. ■ Feature Restrictions LiftedCube - Alchemy, Crafting, Decoration, Engraving, Inscription, Offering can now be used again.■ ImprovementsMitigated an issue where opening Loot Boxes and Cube interactions were slow. We are also in continuous contact with Steam, and we will post additional notices if there are any further server-side measures.Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience to your gameplay.In addition, we will organize and announce the compensation plan for the server outage at a later date, and deliver it.Thank you.
Added an internal save backup system, which acts as a safety net against silent write failures (AV locks, steam cloud, crash mid-write, sleep shenanigans, etc), to prevent those rare save losing cases. Additional fixes for the bonus PP from previous hotfix resetting. Reduced the costs of Railguns and Railgun Capacitor a bit. Further reduced the costs of Nuclear Research and Air Strike, and increased the chance per tier of Air Strike. Added the ability to right click on the mountain to toggle Eternal Feasting (auto-clicking) ON/OFF.

Hello captains,A few more fixes for you beta players out there. Thank you all for enjoying Vanguard Galaxy with us!Fixes- Fix for Nueral patch in shop giving reputation to low notification, it should also only appear in shops of Omnitac Agency, which was the intended effect- Boardables that are forced fired won't respawn after save load- Fixed ECHO trying to keep picking up the same crew pod if crew and or brig is full and getting stuck doing so- Boardables no longer spawn in Industry Ops- Boardable dronecarriers no longer spawn drones- Potential fix for Retreat from boarding spewing a lot of crewpodsCheers, 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.
This update fixes a few minor visual bugs, and a fishing annoyance. Fixed Mossy Stone not showing in collection book. Fixed a few spelling errors. Made text in books and letters easier to read. Removed stick from worm box.
Small Fixes + Performance Boost | v3.5.01 A small follow-up update has been released with a couple of fixes and another performance improvement. Fixes & Improvements Coins Display Fix Fixed an issue with the coins display not showing correctly in some cases. Community Pet Stat Animation Performance Fix Community Pet stat animations have now been added to the Header Counter Refresh settings. This caused another major FPS boost, especially for players who had Community Pet stats animating frequently while clicking or running the game in the background. Lower Header Counter Refresh values will now reduce the animation workload more effectively, giving players more control over visual smoothness, click responsiveness, and overall PC performance.
