Version 1.24 released

This version introduced interface improvements, the party creation screen was redesigned and adjustments were made to let the interface work better for odd resolutions and with more verbose languages. Russian language was added and several localization improvements were introduced (useful to translators). Also a small rebalance of one party bonus.

– [interface] Party Create screen redesign. Now professions, races, etc show as a list with only the selected race visible on the right (so now everything fits on all resolutions and all language combinations and fonts are bigger).
– [interface] Improved Character statistics screen (relevant for odd resolutions, most people will see no difference).
– [interface] Auto scroller for NPC dialogue if the text does not fit (never needed if English language is selected, so useful for verbose languages only).
– [interface] Improved inventory, quality tier markers redone into icons.
– [interface] Improved inventory, list of item abilities auto scales based on available space (so the biggest font possible is always used).
– [interface] Languages selector hides non translated languages (so no longer “holes” for reserved languages).

– [balance] Iron Skin party bonus Paralysis resistance changed from +50 to +25 (it was too powerful and made Paralysis resistance from items irrelevant).

– [misc] New translation (RU) available.
– [misc] Localization: redone locale to IDs only (no need to know language symbol at all!)
– [misc] Removed ruleset display from quick menu tooltip (this information is not really needed and was just UI bloat).
– [misc] If safe mode is enabled the game limits frame rate to 30 FPS (to prevent potential CPU/GPU overheat).

Version 1.23 released

This version introduced Spanish translation, some small fixes and improvements and deals with a particular GPU problem. Apparently, some (maybe all?) laptop manufacturers do no install drivers to the integrated GPU card if a dedicated card is included as well. Presumably their thinking was that no one would use those since a superior card is present. Which is true for most games, but since Legends of Amberland series is gentle on GPU, OS can decide that a lower performance GPU should be used to preserve energy, so it switches to the integrated GFX card and… the game does not work because the GPU has no drivers installed. The workaround was to force the OS to always use the best GFX card available. Have fun!

– [misc] ES full translation and minor fixes to other translations.
– [misc] Upgraded third party libraries (among other things some national characters in some languages look more clear now).

– [interface] Adjusted monsters zone (damage markers position). Somewhat more pleasant visually now.
– [interface] Monster info screen redesign (including list of all attacks on monster info (with damage and effects)).

– [fix] Spellbook button incorrectly greyed out when can’t cast selected spell (should be greyed out only when no magic talent or zero MP).
– [fix] Engine update with an important GFX card fix (force use of the best GFX card).

Version 1.22.1 released

Hotfix. Due to various strange occurrences the maps in v1.22 became kind of corrupted (some things that were supposed to be locked were open from the start). Which lead to problems with the main storyline. This version patches it and also introduces an autofix for saves that suffered from this bug.

By the way, if you ever have any problems with your saves you can always send them to me to fix manually. Thanks!

– [fix] The previous version (v1.22) introduced corrupted maps data, which makes some grates start open while those should start locked. This allowed to visit places you were not supposed to access and therefore broken the main storyline and made you solftlocked from progressing further.
– [fix] In previous versions there was a story bug possible (softlock) if you visit places in an odd order. This version autofixes such occurrences on old saves. You just need to visit the place you were asked to visit AGAIN and return to the quest giver, it will record properly. Note that you will have it logged as unfinished quest in such case, disregard it, you already completed it. Also, remember that in case of any such problems you can always send me your save file to fix. Note that this version is preventing the bug from happening, this is only to auto fix old saves.

Version 1.22 released

This version introduces several low priority fixes, small interface improvements, makes full rest more powerful and increases poison damage. Rest was altered, now more statuses are cleared upon full rest, quick rest was not changed. Poison damage was rebalanced, it was made more potent, which I think is needed, especially when the tools to deal with poison are so abundant.

– [misc] Full Rest cures all statuses except Petrified and Poisoned.

– [balance] Poison deals more damage.

– [interface] Character statistics screen shows a tooltip marker upon pressing CTRL or RT on gamepad (this allows seeing tooltips when playing without a mouse).

– [fix] Input stops working correctly upon pressing the IME key on a Japanese keyboard.
– [fix] Untranslated purchase dialogue option.
– [fix] Mysterious Sage was incorrectly called Mystical Sage in one quest description.
– [fix] Translation (German) had HP & MP switched in one place.
