Release: Patch #10 — The Great Restoration

Restoration 1.0 — The Great Restoration

After my time in Early Access, Restoration: Chronicles of Survival leaves the workshop and steps into 1.0. This is not a patch — it is a rebuild. I took your feedback, tore the game down to its strongest idea, and rebuilt it into a focused, endless idle-RPG: a town that earns while you sleep, a hero who raids for loot, and a power curve with no ceiling. And every bit of your Early Access progress comes with you. Welcome to the full game.

📜 Why a rebuild?

Early Access taught me which parts of Restoration people actually loved — the idle economy and the hunt for the next upgrade — and which parts spread the game too thin. So I committed to one clear fantasy and cut everything that fought it. The result is leaner, deeper, and built to be played for months, not minutes.

⚙️ One Clear Core Loop

Every system now feeds a single, readable loop:

• Idle Economy — your buildings produce resources around the clock, online and offline. This is the fuel for everything else.

• Raids & Combat — send your hero into auto-battles against ever-deeper tiers of enemies for loot and experience.

• Gear & Character — equip drops, grow your hero, and use that power to clear deeper raids for even better loot.

• Prestige & Paragon — when you are ready, reset the economy for a permanent, forever-compounding multiplier.

Honest idle, always. The game plays itself — buildings produce and raids run whether you are watching or not. Active play only speeds things up. It never throttles you, and it never demands you stay.

🗺️ "The Path" — Always Know What's Next

A brand-new feature with its own button right next to Character. The Path is your goal ladder: it always shows the next few milestones along the core loop, auto-claims their rewards, and never runs out — after the hand-crafted chapters it continues procedurally, forever. Better still, early steps gently teach the game by unlocking systems as you go:

• Win your first raid → unlock Classes.

• Activate your first set bonus → unlock Loadout Mods.

• Reach your first prestige → unlock Paragon.

New players get a guided on-ramp; veterans get an endless carrot.

🛡️ Your Hero, Classes & Combat

• One hero, twelve gear slots. Stats come from your level, class and equipped items.

• Four classes — Warrior, Rogue, Cleric, Mage — each with stat modifiers and a unique 4-ability combat kit. Your first class choice is free.

• Semi-active combat. Fights run on auto, but you can tap your class abilities for an edge. Martial abilities run on cooldowns; casters also spend mana, which regenerates mid-fight. Time your abilities into soft combo windows for extra damage — or just leave it on auto.

💎 Endless Loot & Gear

• Item Level scales with raid depth — clear deeper tiers, drop stronger gear. There is always a better piece out there.

• Rarity, random affixes and item sets — chase the perfect roll. Wearing multiple pieces of a set grants set bonuses, some of which trigger powerful combat effects.

• A drop can always beat your current gear, which keeps every raid worth running.

🏪 Market 2.0 — A Living Economy

The old fixed-price trades are gone. The Market is now a dynamic exchange:

• Every resource has a live price that swings over time. Sell when it's high, buy when it's low.

• Supply matters — flooding the market with a big sale temporarily pushes the price down.

• A rotating set of special offers refreshes alongside the exchange.

• Your prestige trade perks finally feed real buy-discount and sell-bonus bonuses.

🔄 Infinite Prestige + Paragon

• No prestige ceiling. Past the authored levels, prestige continues procedurally and the multiplier keeps compounding — forever.

• Paragon unlocks after your first prestige: an endless layer of small, infinitely-scaling bonuses that soaks up every spare prestige point you will ever earn.

• Prestige resets your economy but keeps your hero, gear, skills, prestige points and paragon.

🔥 Uncapped Combo

Tapping green target cells builds a combo for bonus gold — and the streak no longer has a limit. Push it as high as you can; the skill-point milestones it grants now continue forever too.

🏆 50 Brand-New Achievements

A completely fresh, streamlined set of 50 achievements spanning the whole game — wealth, buildings, raids, skills, prestige, combo and dedication. Each grants skill points or ancient blueprints, and they are wired for Steam achievement support.

⭐ Deep Skill Tree

Spend skill points on permanent upgrades to gold, production, combat, loot and more. Earn points from gold milestones, combo streaks, achievements and The Path — there is always another point on the way, and the right perks let skill levels survive prestige.

🎨 A Total Visual Overhaul

• Every building re-rendered in a cohesive low-poly 3D style.

• Every skill redrawn as a radiant arcane emblem.

• Hundreds of UI, resource and item icons regenerated and unified into one look.

• Smooth anti-aliasing applied across all art for a crisp, consistent presentation.

A note on what's AI: the art (buildings, skill emblems, icons) was AI-generated and then hand-curated and integrated, and the 7 non-English translations were done with AI. Everything else — the design, code, writing and balance — I made by hand.

🌍 Eight Fully-Supported Languages

English, Russian, German, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and French — including a fully rebuilt in-game Help section that now accurately teaches the new game from the ground up.

🧹 Streamlined: What I Removed

To keep Restoration focused, several Early-Access systems were retired:

• Guilds and the online backend — Restoration is now a pure single-player experience with no servers between you and the game.

• The season / calendar system and the background-town simulation.

• Faith, Chaos and the Energy resource — and with Energy goes the session limit. There is no energy bar, ever; play as long or as little as you like.

🐛 Under the Hood

• Rebuilt the entire popup / screen framework into clean, modern scenes.

• Rewrote the in-game Help to match the new game.

• Fixed dozens of bugs, including combo milestone rewards, equipment slot handling, prestige tree icons, and number formatting at extreme values.

• Performance and stability passes throughout.

💾 Your Save Is Safe

This is the part I sweated over most. Restoration performs a seamless, one-way migration from any previous version the moment you load. Your gold, prestige levels, skill points, character, class, gear and full inventory all carry over — only the removed systems are quietly cleaned up. I tested the migration against real saves from v1.0.0, v2.0.0 and the current build; everything important survives.

Restoration 1.0 is the foundation for an endless numbers-go-up RPG. There is always a next tier of raid, a better roll of gear, a higher prestige to chase. Thank you for being part of the journey through Early Access — now go restore the world.
