It’s a large one - Blighted Horizons (update 0.1.0) is available NOW!

You’ll find update 0.1.0 live NOW, with a huge number of changes, fixes and tweaks to the world of Blightstone. Jump in now and discover…

Tweaks We Made Specifically To Stop Annoying Adventurers

• We’ve reduced throw damage - limiting damage that the largest entities (like karantos or the Giant) can do

• Intro scenes can be skipped with a single click rather than having to hold down (any time from the UnfinishedPixel logo!)

• We’ve added Bandages - lootable in combat and bought at store - which can heal 3 to a Hero or allied follower

• We’ve removed “ends turn” from all ally skills so Adventurers don’t accidentally lose AP

• The Earthglass Crystal HP has been slightly raised

• Crystal Frenzy affected enemies now have a blue visual effect to help you see them easier

• The Hunter’s Tame Dog campfire skill has been set to one AP

• We’ve added Save Slots - selectable at the main Menu

Final Boss Changes

• We’ve increased Korghul’s life (we can’t have you defeating him THAT easily)

• Korghul now summons two demons (one major, one minor) every turn - with increased summoning range

• Xander’s Teleport ability no longer adds Hastened (but the teleported entity can be moved anywhere - including holes)

• Xander’s Temporal Distortion and Time Split skill damage has been reduced

• But to keep balance in all things, his Time Freeze skill range has been increased

• We’ve also fixed a bug where Korghul’s Crack (stop sniggering at the back) skill wouldn’t work with pathfinding - so enemies will no longer fall into his crack (stop it) on their own

Final Map Changes

• We’ve increased the length of the Blighted Lands map - now with added paths!

• We’ve also added three Special Nodes to the Blighted Lands

• There is also now a store at the end of the Blighted Lands (that’s a brave store owner!) so Adventurers can spend your gold

The Team Screen

• We’ve improved visuals here

• We’ve also added a Dismiss Hero button, enabled when you have more than three Heroes

• We’ve added the Use Bandage button to the Team screen - using the new Bandages item to give you the opportunity to heal outside battles and camping

• The Team screen is now accessible from stores and the campfire

Tracing Visuals

• We’ve improved enemy tracing visuals to ensure they are easily visible (and look cooler) - for attacks such as boar charges, explosions, Tunnel Driller entrances etc.

• We’ve added a further mark to entities within the relevant area, so you can easily see who will be affected by the coming attack

• Traces for skills with move now show the exact trajectory of the entity that will perform the action

Improved Information

• We’ve fixed the description for Barrier which was misleading

• We’ve added Change Fate and Death Ward uses within the UI

• We’ve improved the Dark Event bar appearance to make it clever how much danger you are actually in

General Fixes

• We’ve fixed Sand Wurm enemies causing a soft lock after attacking twice in a row in the same place

• We’ve fixed a memory leak when changing equipment

• We’ve fixed the Priest’s Lightfoot Aura skill - which now adds move and damage percentage to all the party for the first turn

• We’ve fixed an issue where hovering over a targeted entity would cause visuals to flicker

Checks (and Balances)

• Rune of Speed tweaked to 30%

• Rune of Impact tweaked to +20% Critical Chance

• Main Menu buttons collider size adjusted

• Karantos balancing (increasing life and reducing damage)

• Rune of Harmful Motion tweaked - now deals one damage and only affects Heroes’ quicksteps

• Priest Purifying Presence tweaked to only affect allies, and now the Priest

Don’t Say We Never Do Anything For You

That’s all we’ve got for you today, but it’s a cart load of tweaks, balances, fixes and additions which we hope helps. We’ve been working against feedback left by Adventurers, and can’t thank you enough for letting us know that you think - it helps us to target these changes to the things which are important to you.

Thank you again, Adventurers. From the Mages at Unfinished Pixel.
