| F2P | 2025-08-04 | |
| Movement Issues | 2022-01-31 | So Ive been told the game has some weird issues with resolutions and fullscreen vs not fullscreen so this is a sort of test patch to see if the movement is fixed this way. I tried to add a way to change resolution in game but it didnt seem to work. If you notice Hero moves too slowly try playing in non-fullscreen mode ( F11 ) |
| Update! | 2022-01-28 | It has come to my attention that different qualities make Hero move slower or faster, so if you are noticing that you are too slow in game, go to the settings and change to a lower quality. Ill try and find a fix Also if you are getting an error that your game cant be started, you will have to disable Unreal Engine firewalls from your antivirus. I cannot disable the firewall ( That I know of ) |
| Final ( Kinda ) Update! | 2022-01-27 | The full game is released! However there may still be bugs that Im going to fix over time as they come up The end story sequence also doesnt have a voiceover sequence just yet, im waiting for the person who did the original However I hope you guys enjoy the game! Have fun in the world of Kenestria! |
| Last bug patch ( Allegedly ) | 2021-12-30 | Hopefully the next update will actually be the final game like I said it would be a few updates ago. However I wanted to get a good patch on some fixes first Fixes : Tutorial doesn't force you to walk up to the book to read how to walk. It starts off telling you how to do so Changed how the text box works on the inside, to hopefully limit bugs. Made the light guardian blocking box bigger ( Just a small fix ) Gave the sapphire forest bandits a higher chance to drop Kenestrium ( Super rare and powerful material ) Moved the skip intro button so the Steam popup doesnt block it ( Although you could also just disable the intro in settings ) Changes |
| Small patch | 2021-12-27 | Little bug patch dont worry |
| Merry Christmas Everyone! | 2021-12-25 | Just a small update Fixed the bug where Quality would always drop to 0 when going to a new area Fixed a bug where running from the Chameleon would freeze you ( Hopefully ) Fixed a bug with the herb text |
| Optimization Tests | 2021-12-24 | This patch is pretty much just testing, I changed some programming to hopefully reduce lag, I added option to change game quality ( For lower end PC's ) And hopefully added 64 and 32 bit packages |
| Show off | 2021-12-22 | I added some Achievments. Hopefully they all work, this is mostly a test. Im also still adding more :D |
| Forest of Death and Decay | 2021-12-20 | Welcome back folks, apologies for the long wait on an update, I haven't been feeling all that motivated recently, however I pulled through! This is probably going to be the last update of the year, with the full release coming out in January or February. In this update we added : Forest of Death Dragon of Death + New Spell Death Breath 2 new enemy types, plus a miniboss who will increase your inventory space when killed New enchantments, Deadly, Deathly, and Arcane New item, Arcan Cloak The update is a bit small, but of course I will add additional content throughout the next month or so. The next update may be the full release of the game fo |
| Horrors of the Ocean | 2021-12-09 | This is an update ive been planning since the very very early days of development, however planning didn't start until 2 months ago. We added a new side quest line for Scylla and Charybdis! Scylla and Charybdis are my favorite story from greek mythology, ever since I saw them in the Odyssey. So naturally I HAD to add them, and so I did! The quest line can first begin after you defeat the dragon of life. In carper town an old captain is interested in taking on the Sea Monsters Scylla and Charybdis! Will you join him, or leave the monsters alone? Along with the new quest line, I added a special super powerful weapon : Scyllas Fang! Hopefully yo |
| Small Patch | 2021-12-04 | Just some fixes I forgot to include, like the Umbranox swamp map blockers, or the ability to teleport with fast travel, or leaving Chester in the pasta shop after meeting him prior to |
| The Dark Sapphire Update with blood sometimes. Its 2:30 am Im tired | 2021-12-04 | Added 2 new areas to the game! Just as promies Sapphire forest and Umbranox swamp Fun new character interactions! New enemies to fight, Leeches, Swamp Monster, and Quintin the Mannequin Added new spell, Shadow Pierce Added new item, Kenestrium. Use Kenestrium to upgrade your gear, making them stronger than ever giving you a huge advantage in combat! Next update is going to be a small one, where I just add some more side content, and characters to make the world feel more alive. Im also going to fix some things I forgot to do in this update Until next time, Lightsaber09 and Nic in the call - Good bye Im tired |
| Small Patch | 2021-11-26 | Just a patch to make things easier in Distantia forest Made enemies in Distantia give more XP Some general Wombo Combo bug fixes ( Thanks Kira and Nic ) Made the travelling salesman items a lot cheaper |
| Bug Fixes + Additional Content | 2021-11-22 | First things changed were some bugs, including : When getting into a fight with a Distantia Fallen knight, the game would softlock Ability to spam spells and take no damage in return Made it so you can no longer save in the broken town, because that caused camera issues. Additional content : New items! Strong Health Potion and Soul Crystals New Enemy! Soul Collector ( Unlocked after starting one of the new sidequests in Distantia forest ) 2 New Sidequests in Distantia Forest, both located in the broken town after completing the Xioxon quest! New sidequests give access to Strong Healing Potions and Strong spells, so both useful! ( Quests only |
| Spaaaaaace | 2021-11-20 | Added a new area : Distantia Forest - Forest of Space With Distantia forest I wanted to give the feeling of it being longer and more confusing than it is, which I believe I absolutely nailed! Distantia Forest includes : A new town with a special side quest A dungeon ( as always ) A funny little area with a sneak peek of some characters my sister and I created The castle of space ( of course ) And a travelling merchant who offers random goodies for a hefty price Update also includes : Fast travel! Once you kill the dragon of space, you gain the ability to fast travel through Kenestria! I hope you guys enjoy the update, and I'll see you all in |
| Where the Light things lie | 2021-11-14 | Finished the kingdom of light! Added new enemy, a dungeon, and a new spell. next update is going to be the kingdom of space! |
| Post-Halloween Update | 2021-11-03 | With Halloween now over, we have taken out our dear friend Punkin. But don't worry he'll be back, and much much harder to kill >:) Also added new area in Clara forest with 2 new enemies. New enemy now has chance to drop Rare ( double enchanted ) items |
| Magic Update | 2021-10-17 | Added a new weapon type "Staves", which also come with a new weapon stat / enchantment. Staves have spell damage added to them, which increase how much damage spells do. The Magic enchantment also increases the damage that spells do. Next items to be added will most likely be armor centered around magic users. |
| Small Patch | 2021-10-17 | Added some additional UI for the Inventory that shows your health, and the stats of items when you hover over them. |
| Storage Box Update ( V11 ) | 2021-10-16 | The world of Kenestria now has multiple storage boxes scattered around. The storage box can hold 25 items, and all storage boxes have a shared inventory. The Red side with a down arrow deposits items, where the blue side with an up arrow withdraws items. |
| V10 ( I think ) | 2021-10-12 | Added new tutorial section Fixed a bug with Punkin where he would heal you despite the spell plague |
| The SPOOK Plague Patch | 2021-10-04 | Just a small patch, changed a few minor things. The game now has a new Icon, rather than the old Unreal logo its the Divine Lyre. Changed the Gigsjaw Logo on the main menu to be updated to our new Halloween logo ( Thank you Buddomas ) Lastly I changed something with Punkin, where he now spawns in 1 of 5 locations when you open the forest level ( That includes after battles, so try walking to make sure you dont get into fights as much ) Once again, thank you all for the support. Next update I'll be sure to have a major change ( Probably a working tutorial ) |
| Spooky Scary Spell Plague | 2021-10-04 | It's October, meaning my favorite Holiday is coming up. And do celebrate I decided to be festive! I added a new secret boss fight somewhere in the world who can drop new items ( Limited time only for the month of October ) Punkin! Punkin drops : Punkin Pie Punkin's Armor Punkin's Scythe Punkin's Shield Good luck ;) Additional changes : Patched the void again Fixed a bug where you couldnt heal from items ! VERY IMPORTANT ! Make sure to click reset on your skill tree to fully make sure the bug is fixed, If you have problems with Punkins animations let me know, his Scythe may be a bit wonky I tried a new animation technique. That being said, tha |
| Hot Patch ( V7 ) | 2021-09-30 | Some bug fixes including : Being able to get outside of the map in Carper Forest being stuck in a soft lock when countering against the dragon too much (Maybe fixed, might still appear) Bug when using spells on a wisp you would be soft locked New additions : You can buy spells from the Plague doctor Symbol in the top left letting you know when you can and can't save New secret + secret item set ( It's very secret, chances of finding are probably |
