Patch notes for the Demo: 1.26.0200

Optimization & Performance

• Implemented a new system for loading and unloading act assets.

• Memory usage has been optimized — assets are now loaded only when needed and properly released when switching locations.

• This reduces RAM consumption and minimizes in-game stuttering.

Tutorial

• Reworked the save system — tutorial progress is now saved correctly.

• Fixed UI issues in the top panel during the tutorial that occurred when restarting the tutorial multiple times.

Shop

• Added a delay to the merchant’s pop-up dialogue when the player does not have enough currency.

• The “Golden Chalice” artifact no longer appears in the shop.

Tavern

Encounters

• The Act 1 encounter “Herbalist” now uses the card transformation mechanic.

• Added new encounters in Act 2:

  • Mummy

  • Restless Spirit

  • Memorial Altar

• The Act 2 encounter “Buried Alive” now deals 15 damage on failure instead of 10.

• The Act 3 encounter “Ritual Sword” now rewards the “Greater Ritual Sword” artifact.

Dialogue

Cards

• Added artwork for the “Bone” card.

Story & Quests

• Fixed hero personal encounters and quest activation logic.

• Resolved cases where events could trigger in the wrong order or block player progression.

Localization
