StormEdge news & patch notes

v1.0.7 Bug Fixes: - Fixed a problem where the default spell specializations were being loaded twice. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and really appreciate your understanding!

Hello, Adventurers! Since the launch of StormEdge, we’ve been overwhelmed with your invaluable feedback, and we’ve wasted no time in improving our beloved game. We’re so grateful for your help in shaping the game, and thanks to you, we’ve already rolled out some improvements! Your input is making StormEdge shine brighter, and we can’t wait for you to see all the changes 🌟 Here’s a quick look at the latest updates:

New Features

- You can now bind buttons to the D-pad on your gamepad. - A new button for quickly returning to the main menu has been added. - We’ve introduced three new settings:

• Camera distance adjustment
• Camera follow behavior
• Target lock style for gamepad users

- And good news: save data from the demo can now carry over to the full version!

Gameplay Adjustments

- The Fire Wisp Meteor will now disappear as soon as combat ends, keeping the battlefield clear.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue where one teleport point in the Golden Valley was sending players into a wall (ouch!). - Using Bear’s Secret Art to move will no longer accidentally trigger combat, so no more getting locked out of gates after using the skill! - Chenoa’s basic attack now applies the correct number of Frigid stacks. - The damage penalty from the School of the Owl now resets correctly. - In co-op mode, default spell specializations will now properly apply to the second player. - The description for the School of the Bear has been corrected to say it "converts purple shields into red shields" (just a text fix). - The description of Lily’s finishing move has also been updated to reflect that it applies Frigid (description change only).

Upcoming major update - Gem System Preview 💎 (coming in 1.1.0)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/ffdb30ba59633115610008d5419de76fc8693b02.png We’ve heard your thoughts on the current relic system and agree that it’s not delivering the excitement we want in combat styles. So, in the upcoming version 1.1.0, we’re introducing a brand-new Gem System! Here’s what you can expect: - Over 30 new relics, each containing gems. - By collecting these gems, you’ll unlock special effects when you gather enough of them. But that’s not all—these gem effects won’t just be about buffs; some will even grant new abilities! We’re eager to see how this shakes up gameplay and opens up new combat possibilities! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/b9dbd79bd0151a4d24692326ff637871ee96af60.gif We’re incredibly excited about these updates and can’t wait to see how you’ll experiment with all the new features and systems. Keep the feedback coming—it’s helping us make StormEdge the game we’ve always dreamed it could be!

Hi Adventurers! This time we have made the following improvements, which we hope will greatly enhance your gaming experience:

Game Balance

- The cooldown period between enemy attacks has been slightly increased. - You can now cast Secret Arts without needing combo points.

Visual Improvements

- The color saturation and brightness of the environment have been adjusted for better visibility of enemies and their attacks. - Animation feedback has been enhanced when your spells hit enemies.

Bug Fixes

- Resolved an issue where the second player would be removed upon entering a new scene in Act 1. - Fixed a problem that prevented the "Lullaby" achievement from unlocking properly. It will now unlock automatically if you’ve already completed it. Please start the game and click "Start" to initiate the achievement check.

Localization

- Corrected an issue with the display of certain Japanese characters. We remain committed to listening to community feedback and continuously improving the game! Thank you all for sharing your insights with us!

Hi Adventurers, We’ve received a lot of your feedback during the launch, and we want you to know that we are actively working on it! Your support and insights are invaluable to us, and we’d like to ask for your help in making the game even better! We have already implemented several fixes, which are currently available on a hidden development branch of the game. The improvements include:

Dash Mechanism

- The cooldown of the dash has been significantly reduced. You now only lose 1 Focus when hit. - The fatigue mechanism has been removed: Fatigue (the red orbs) used to accumulate when you didn’t trigger a perfect dodge and had no Focus left. You could not dash when you had 3 Fatigue. This removed fatigue mechanism will now serve as a challenge in the endgame, and you can choose to enable or disable it.

Enemies

- A maximum chasing radius has been added for Throne traps; they can no longer chase characters who are out of range. - The movement speed and distance of Skeleton Champions’ Shield Dashing have been reduced. - The maximum number of enemies on the field has been decreased from 6 to 4 (summoned minions do not count).

Support from the Village

- There is now a chance to receive support from the village at the start of a new exploration. Enjoy the extra help!

Visuals

- Enemies that are attacking now feature a red outline. - Most skill visual effects when hitting enemies have been improved. - The visual effect when enemies are hit has been enhanced. If you’re interested in being among the first to try these features and share your feedback with us, please join the development branch of the game. To do this, right-click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties, then choose Betas, and enter this password in the text box: z1l4m4g3hk4g4 We look forward to your feedback in the comments section of this post or on our Discord!

Hello Adventurers!

Just wanted to let you know that StormEdge keeps evolving and we’ve been hard at work to bring you the best gaming experience possible! That’s why we’re excited to share a sneak peek of what’s coming to the Early Access version of our game. Here's a glimpse of the awesome new features you can look forward to:

New Hero: Chenoa

Meet Chenoa, the newest hero to join the StormEdge roster! Unlocked by default, Chenoa is a game-changer as she’s the first hero who can move while attacking. She brings moderate damage and a large area of effect, making her a powerful addition to any team. Chenoa will join Ulrich right from the beginning, and yes, you can dive into co-op mode with friends from the start! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/2fd810276717a40ef919a027fafb194f0f9c3721.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/a218abaa3ccf1335e751934a1901c02e8e03bae6.gif

Storm Events System

When you unlock Calamity Mode in Act 5, the Storm system also becomes available. You'll encounter eight different storm events inflicted by Zackerow during your explorations:

• Lightning Storm
• Meteor of Fire Wisp
• Ice Tornado
• Freezing Spirit
• Fatigue Thirst Seed
• Poisonous Rain
• Bone-Chilling Mist (exclusive to the Iced Peak biome)
• Heatwave (exclusive to the Forest biome)

As a member of StormEdge, take on the challenge to quell these elemental storms and bring peace to the dungeons! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/e00acc92c26eb0b2ece6dab6a2672f435644d520.gif

School Traits Remade

We’ve remade the School Traits system. Now, there are six schools to follow, each offering unique benefits and significantly impacting your combat style. Choose a school at the beginning of each biome and in the endgame, explore through three biomes to follow three different schools. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/633f282ba5dd28bba29f6b1c54abe0ebd74ecaa6.gif

Enemies Behaviors Improvement

Combat clutter no more! We've developed a new system where enemies execute attacks one by one. Now, only one melee attack and two ranged attacks can be executed at a time, significantly improving your combat experience. Before the change {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/465f1e484aa7e456e859da5d93a214121324b5fd.gif After the change {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/e82d5208d7eed7583d2243df3b106e2ce1d48888.gif

Minor Improvements

• Two heroes are now unlocked by default, enabling co-op mode from the beginning.
• Added environmental sounds for each biome to enhance immersion.
• Tooltips for special terms are now available to help new players get acquainted with the game mechanics.
• Adjustments have been made to the storyline for a smoother and more engaging experience.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback! We can’t wait for you to dive into these new features and experience all that StormEdge has to offer. Stay tuned for more updates!

Check out the new demo gameplay! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/58bf948112a734d010e1981df1b39e6994472389.jpg Or, you can give it a try yourself! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321580/StormEdge_Wind_of_Change/

Hello friends! Thank you so much for your interest in the StormEdge. It means the world to us. Today, in our first devlog, we want to give you some information about what is happening with the StormEdge right now. Here's a quick rundown:

Visual Improvements

One of the things that we wanted to improve was the game's visuals. Using the color contract, and saturation contract, we can make enemies more legible and easier to identify. Check out the work-in-progress visuals below: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/1b5711c00242ef4f200de168c19a59675237a8ad.gif

Gameplay Changes

We've read all your comments about the overall gameplay elements. Firstly, we will be completely overhauling the shield system to make your experience more enjoyable and exciting. Secondly, we will be unlocking special attacks earlier and completely updating them. For example, Ulrich's special attack now summons a flaming phantasm that draws the enemy's attention, and his next finisher will explode the flaming phantasm and shatter shields. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/daf7bf6e209ce4db0a7f22a23b1c665f9e6ce464.gif We will also be redesigning 6 schools and each of them will give the player a new school skill. Players can combine different schools and see how they interact with other schools, but they can only equip one School Skill at a time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/d6d2b9e031ea71b14f768728047c2210bc1f2077.png School of the Storm allows the player to summon a Storm Riposte. Casting Riposte becomes an active behavior if the player chooses it and equips its School Skill. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43681624/b994b77015747cac6d6d2ace5f58e54dd33e2bfc.gif

Co-op Changes & New Character

We received a lot of feedback about the lack of co-op at the beginning of the story. So we decided to introduce it at the beginning of the game with a new character. So players can enjoy co-op from the very beginning of the game.

Upcoming Playtest

We've decided to include all of the above updates in the upcoming closed playtest, which will begin at the end of the month. We will keep you updated on all the dates you can join the test. Follow the StormEdge on Steam to stay updated!

PAX East 2024

But that's not all, folks! StormEdge will be attending the PAX East 2024 showcase, which starts on the 21st of March. We will also be showing a new trailer featuring updated gameplay elements, some upgrades, and co-op. That's all for now! Thank you for your time, friends. See you in the StormEdge! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2321350/StormEdge/

Hello friends! We appreciate your feedback on the latest StormEdge demo, which has been available since the start of the Steam Next Fest. We have carefully considered every comment and discussion here on Steam. We're now ready to make a number of gameplay and visual improvements to StormEdge before it launches on Steam and consoles this year. Today we're announcing the closure of the StormEdge demo. You will no longer be able to play it after the 29th of February. However, we want you to stay with us as we will continue to post news about the StormEdge development process. Thanks again for all your help! It means the world to us. P.S.: We will add the possibility to pet the dog in Brushwind Village, don't worry ;) Take care and see you soon! Shieldbreaking Games.
