A Song Of Sunlight news & patch notes

I'm very excited to announce that Simplified Chinese (简体中文) language support has been added to ASoS! Tell your friends! 

I'd like to sincerely thank my translator aita for their time and hard work making this possible. Not only did they complete the entire translation solo but they also did an amazing job- I couldn't be more grateful. Chinese is the first in what will be (hopefully) three planned localizations of the game that are currently in the works. No eta but I'll be sure and let everyone know when they're ready! Stay tuned. 

In addition to the new language, I've made a few small tweaks to the game in patch 1.0.2:

• A small supply of Perfect Metal is now sold by the Scout Ancestor.

• Perfect Metal is now a rare drop from several enemies in The Well. 

• Enemies can now only drop up to two distinct items at a time. 

• The 'Story Mode' setting will now save. 

• Added extra UI for Archimancy items in the loadout screen.

• Fixed small bug related to the quest display accidentally appearing while in the choice UI.

• Fixed fight quest NPCs not automatically moving Arem when choosing to accept or decline.

• Fixed two potential softlocks during the Archimancy tutorial.

• Updated some tutorial slides to better support localization. 

• Fixed a ton of small grammar and spelling errors.

Hello again! I've identified a number of bugs and improvements I'd like to make to the chapter 2 material over the past week since launch that are being addressed in this patch. Here's a brief summary of what's been added and changed:

• Fixed bug allowing players to obtain duplicate Holy Messenger Rings

• Fixed bug allowing players to prematurely end the Archimancy tutorial by killing the enemy 

• Small general combat tutorial visual improvements for added clarity 

• Changed player death message in The Settlement vs. The Well to better suit the narrative

• Minor spelling/grammar fixes

As always, if you identify anything you think might be a bug, feel free to make a post in the Steam community discussions page for the game and I'll address it as soon as I can. Thanks for playing!

Hey there!

I'd like to start by saying that the overwhelming support the game has received over the past few days has been incredible- I'm speechless at both how kind the reviews have been and the momentum that the game currently has. This 'launch' has completely blown ArmaCulture out of the water and I never even expected it to do half as well as this. Again, thank you!

In any case, I'm happy to announce that A Song of Sunlight OST - Vol. 1 is available for purchase right now on steam! It covers the music of the first two chapters (all the music currently in game). Expect another volume down the road to cover the music of future chapters.

If you'd like to support me, head on over to the steam page to check it out!

Until next time,

I am beyond excited to announce that A Song of Sunlight - Chapter 2: "A Memory of Wounds" will be coming to Steam on January 16th. I know it's been a long wait- thank you so much for sticking with me. See you all Friday!

Check out the official trailer on youtube:

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving such detailed feedback. I'm releasing a patch to fix some pressing issues and make some overall QOL of life improvements for those that have yet to complete the demo. Here's what's been added and changed:

• Added "Story Mode"

  • "Story Mode" can now be toggled on/off from the pause menu at any time.

  • Enabling story mode will greatly reduce the difficulty of combat in the game, allowing for players to focus primarily on the narrative.

• Dropped Memory Iron can now be collected in combat by touching it.

• Item info panel will now be open by default when viewing the shop or upgrade UI.

• Game UI will now scale/position much better on most aspect ratios.

• Button navigation on certain menus and scrolling consistency for controllers has been improved.

• Fixed a lot of spelling/grammatical errors.

And that's all for now! There likely won't be more patches until the release of chapter 2. Expect that before the end of the year!
