Heroes of a Broken Land 1.1

Heroes of a Broken Land version 1.1 was just released. No major changes in this release, mostly bug fixes and some balancing.

Here’s the full changelog:

Fix Full Heal Self skill not being usable
Fix multi-party dungeons not giving completion XP to all parties
Prevent Rat Plague from repeating, it’s a one-time event
Adjust Rat Plague event to not occur too early in the game
Prevent monsters summoning help when party is full
Jammers now hide objects and switches
Tweak store UI to stop selling when you click the scroll bar
Adjust Mass Resist resistance values (too high compared to Resist)
Increase gold dropped by higher level monsters
Adjust dungeon level by monster types (affects display/risk only, not gameplay)
Fix stun effect, stun effect should delays all actions, prevents counter attacks
Fix bug where gold would slowly decrease each turn in some cases
Fix issue where events would provide no valid choices, preventing user from choosing any option
Fix some spelling mistakes & typos

Most versions should auto patch when you restart the game. If you have problems auto patching please do let me know (andrew@wingedpixel.com) or just post in the forums.

Toronto Global Game Jam 2014 – Echo Chamber

After releasing Heroes of a Broken Land on Monday, I was pretty rushed to get ready for the Toronto Global Game Jam. This was my first Game Jam so I was pretty excited, the organizers did a great job and a lot of fun was had by all.

I took the opportunity to dust off my Oculus Rift Dev Kit, which I’d been ignoring for far too long. I wanted to put together something that was technically interesting to me and also made use of the unique interface of VR.

The result was Echo Chamber:

It doesn’t look like much with our a Oculus head set, but the premise is really simple: you see by echo location. It’s not the first game to try this out, heck I don’t think it’s even the first one called Echo Chamber! Still, I’m happy with the result and am finally able to share my first “complete” Oculus Rift demo.
