Update 2 - The Achievement Update - Released!

Introducing the largest update patch ever in Rise to Ruins history. Update 2, the Achievement Update.

This patch adds a massive amount of new content, bug fixes, tweaks and over 100 Steam Achievements tied into a brand new goals system.

I've also started live streaming development on Twitch, if you're interested, you can follow me there. I'll mostly be streaming Rise to Ruins, Rise to Ruins 2 (Yes you just read that) and Rayvo2D Engine development. But I may also occasionally Stream gaming and other random things.

In addition, my wife is now officially SixtyGig Games new art intern, and she will be working on all current and future projects. If you're interested in stalking her, you can do so on Formerly-Twitter. Head over there and send her a "thank you" for making all the new achievement icons, chat bubbles, terrains and several other additions this patch. :)

Finally, check out the change log for all the juicy bits, and if you find a bug, don't forget to report it on Discord or the Steam Forums. :)

Alright, let's get into this! If you have any ideas on new achievements to add, or tweaks to existing ones, let me know!

Update 2 Change Log

• Old goal system has been removed from the game entirely.

• New goals system now has 117 goals (more may be added, post your ideas!).

• Each goal unlocks a corresponding Steam Achievement.

• Every goal is on a huge web map, and as you unlock goals, more goals will become available.

• Like the previous goals system, all goals and their progress persist through dooming the world.

• Goals can now be accessed in when in the play state (Playing in a region/map).

• Goals no longer award perks, but award a lot of God Experience.

• New perks added for praying speeds.

• Lightning and Meteor (all kinds, including the spells) will now raise or lower faith depending on where it strikes, and what it hits.

• Villagers will now sometimes get a boost in faith when chatting with someone with significantly higher faith than they have.
