Siralim Changelog

What's new in Siralim 2.0.12

Apr 17, 2015

Just a bunch of bug fixes. Also, Treasure Golems are disabled until I can work out a few bugs with them.

New in Siralim 2.0.10 (Apr 16, 2015)

GENERAL:
Added a new type of item: Handfuls. These items are extremely common and contain a small amount of resources.
These items can be found in chests, as rewards for completing Duties, and in many other places.
These items "open" themselves when they are acquired for the sake of simplicity.
Added a new option to the Gem Temple: Upgrade. This option allows you to increase your gems' levels in exchange for essence.
You can now cast Alteration spells while in the castle, and these spells now work more flexibly than before.
Greatly improved loot allocation.
Players in low Realm levels are no longer destined to find only garbage.
Players in high Realm levels now have a higher chance to find BETTER items, not necessarily MORE items.
This method should cut down on the overall quantity of items clogging your inventory.
Drop rates will be tweaked in the future based on player feedback, so don't worry if things aren't perfect quite yet!
Smogs, Phase Warrior, Storms, and Doom Fortresses have new graphics.
Reduced the level requirement and granite cost for several key upgrades, such as the Blacksmith and Enchanter.
Reduced the level requirement for several early Castle Quests. This should prevent the need to grind levels early on.
Resource satchels now grant significantly more resources than before.
Enemy Nether Creatures will not be quite as powerful in early levels when you have no choice but to fight them, such as for Duties.
Adjusted several Major Sigils to be more challenging (thanks, VagrantSun!)
Added internal support for Steam achievements. There are currently 249 achievements. An achievement interface for non-Steam users will be added at a later time on all platforms.
Touch control options are now hidden for Windows/Mac users.
ABILITIES:
Adaptation (Regal Golem) now grants 100% more stats than before.
Countervail (Diamond Imling) is no longer limited to only working the first time the creature's partner dies.
Death Pact (Blood Reaper) now creates a Barrier based on the slain creature's Maximum Health rather than Current Health.
Final Oblation (Mouth of Hell) has been reworked: After defending, creature dies and deals damage to all enemies equal to 200% of its missing health.
Netherbane (Djinn Arcanomancer) has been reworked: Enemy Nether Creatures always have Cripple and Weak.
Unholy Legend (Witch Doctor Necromancer) is no longer limited to only working the first time a creature dies.
BATTLE:
Creatures of a certain class no longer deal bonus damage to a different class.
Each creature class typically has lower defense against a certain class anyway, so this bonus damage made battles unnecessarily tedious.
USER INTERFACE:
When you upgrade a Royalty Point perk, it now spends as many points as needed to increase the perk's rank rather than allocating only 1 point at a time.
The Action Queue in battle should now have better text alignment.
BUG/CRASH FIXES:
Fixed a bug that caused cats to walk backward.
Fixed several bugs/crashes associated with position-based abilities.
Fixed a crash that could occur when a creature died in battle.
Fixed a bug that caused the enchanter to sometimes think that a rare artifact material property was legendary.
Fixed a small graphical issue with certain wall tiles in the Sorcery realm.
Fixed a bug that caused enemy creatures to cap at level 20000.
Fixed a bug with the Nightmare Golem's Bad Dreams ability that caused it to immediately wake up its target.
Fixed a bug that caused the Wyvern Skystalker's "Upheavel" ability to afflict the wrong creatures with Scorn.
Fixed a bug that allowed players with Castle Quests disabled to have access to certain upgrades much sooner than intended.
Fixed a bug that caused a certain Life Realm battle event to heal dead creatures.
Fixed a bug with the Armageddon spell that could occasionally cause the game to freeze.
Fixed several bugs with the Soulstone Splinter ability.
Fixed a bug with the Razorsharp ability that caused attacks to sometimes bounce when the original attack did no damage.
Fixed a bug that prevented players from casting a Daily Powerspell on the same day that they unlocked this feature.
Fixed several bugs that could cause artifacts to end up with blank properties.
Fixed a bug that caused extraction Duties to sometimes require you to extract from creatures that cannot be extracted from.
Fixed a bug that caused certain Duties related to Gump Mummies to not give credit to the player for killing them.
Fixed a crash that could occur when using the final consumable item in your inventory.
Fixed a bug with the Adaptation ability that caused it to not grant buffs in certain realms.
Added a safety check to prevent crashes when saving the game.

New in Siralim 2.0.9 (Apr 1, 2015)

GENERAL:
Added a new option to the creature context menu: Strategy. This allows you to set each of your creatures' default battle menu selections.
Added a new type of Nether Orb: Imbued Nether Orb. These orbs are ultra-rare and can exceed the maximum number of activations/gems that normal orbs have.
Added a new type of item: Potions. These items grant you additional Royalty Points when you drink them.
Added a new type of item: Elixirs. These items allow you to reset your Royalty Points when you drink them.

Added new graphics for Wyverns, Unicorns, Slimes, and Brownies.
Added new graphics for all NPCs that were not already revamped in the last patch.

Reduced the drop rate of Minor Sigils and consumable battle enhancement items.

"Creator" race name changed to "Demigod".
ABILITIES:

BUG/CRASH FIXES:
Fixed a bug with the Sorcery Mage's "Echo" perk that prevented it from working properly.

Fixed a bug that caused Sigils to sometimes scale improperly when used in the castle.
Fixed several bugs related to position-based abilities.
Fixed a bug that caused consumable items that grant bonuses to resources gained in battle to grant drastically less benefit than intended.
Fixed a crash that occured with the Timewarp buff.

New in Siralim 2.0.6 (Mar 20, 2015)

GENERAL:
Enemies now scale by your creatures' experience points rather than level.
The strength of enemy Nether Creatures now scales based on your character level.
They should be much easier at lower levels, and much more difficult at higher levels.
You can now hold down the E key (PC/Mac) or A button (Android/iOS) in battle to quickly cycle through battle messages.
Updated graphics for more NPCs.
Gem Boxes have been recolored to look more consistent with the rest of the game.
Changed the name of several Royalty Point bonuses to make it easier to find what you're looking for.
The smooth font is now the default font.
ABILITIES:
IMPORTANT: Your creatures can now benefit from multiple copies of the same ability. If not, it will now say so in its ability description.
Example: Gust Aura gives all your creatures a 15% chance to dodge attacks. If you have two creatures with Gust Aura, the game will now give your creatures a 15% chance to dodge an attack, and if that fails, it will give your creatures another 15% chance to dodge the attack.
However, you cannot stack abilities by giving a creature an artifact that grants the same ability as its innate ability.
Reworked several abilities. Many received simple numerical tweaks, so only abilities that were reworked are included in these patch notes.

Clemency: After successfully extracting from a target, afflict it with Dying.
Cradle to the Grave: Now moves to a random position on the Action Queue on resurrection, rather than always being at the top.
Crawl Through Knives: Ability cannot kill creatures anymore. This is a temporary fix to prevent a crash before we overhaul the battle engine in the next update.
Darkness Fate: Name changed to Hungering. After this creature attacks, each of your Bats deal damage equal to 20% of their Attack to the same target.
Disciple of War: Now also heals a creature for 20% health when it is attacked by a Death creature.
Frostfire Embodiment: Your creatures have additional Attack equal to the amount of health they're missing.

Styx Cry: Your creatures take only 1 damage from attacks if they're at 100% health.
Undone: Your creatures have additional Defense equal to the amount of health they're missing.

Messages have been added for certain abilities that did not have one before.
Ability descriptions now display the number of turns and stacks that a buff/debuff lasts if the duration is not infinite.
Clarified several ability descriptions.

Fixed a bug with the Psychopath perk that caused artifacts to apply debuffs even if the artifact didn't have the right property.
Fixed a crash that would occur with the Dryad Raincaller's "Stormcall" ability.
Fixed a bug that caused the buff shrine effect to not grant buffs.
Fixed a bug with the "Everything's Gone" ability that caused some creatures' abilities to counteract the effect at the start of battle.

Fixed a bug with the Sleep debuff that caused abilities and artifact effects that applied Sleep to instantly wake the target creature up.

Fixed a graphical display issue on the iPhone 6.

New in Siralim 2.0.1 (Mar 10, 2015)

GENERAL:
Almost all of the game's graphics have been redone. The remaining old graphics (some NPCs and some creatures) will be redone for the next patch.
Added over 100 new creatures to the game.
Several of these creatures are only obtainable by completing certain tasks around the castle.
Also added 10 new creature tier upgrades to the castle.
Reshuffled the creatures unlocked with each tier.
Changed the creatures obtained from Powerspells and Bynine's shop.
New Feature: Royalty Points. Each time you gain a level or complete a Duty, you will receive a certain amount of Royalty Points.
These points can be spent in one of three categories of your choice: Character, Creature, or Perk.
The "Character" category allows you to increase your mana pool, increase your spell slots, manipulate your power balance minimum/maximum, unlock new features/bonuses, and much more.
The "Creature" category allows you to increase your creatures' stats or grant them special bonuses in combat.
The "Perks" category is different depending on which of the 5 classes you chose at the start of the game. Each class has 5 unique perks that are intended to change your playstyle.
You cannot reset points invested in the Character or Creature categories. You can reset points invested in the Perk category by using a class-changing item from Bynine.
Royalty Points are rewarded retroactively, so if you already have a save file you will probably have a lot of points you can spend immediately.
To spend Royalty Points, go to your Character sheet and follow the instructions.
Maximum Spellbook Slots and Maximum Rituals no longer increase with your character's level instead, these values are increased by investing Royalty Points into certain bonuses.
When you load a legacy save file, the scrolls in your spellbook will be placed back into your inventory so you will need to re-equip them.
When you load a legacy save file, you will be given a temporary increase to your Maximum Rituals if you have too many rituals already in progress.
New Online Feature: Daily Power Spells. Each day you can now cast one free, instant Power Spell. The amount of power invested is random.
You must unlock this feature by completing a new upgrade in the War Room, available at level 26.
Added a "Save & Continue" option to the menu. This option is unavailable for Hardcore Mode players.
Added a new option (Options --> Gameplay) to change the font style to the one we were using prior to patch 1.3.0. It's larger now so it still works with the new user interface.
Added experimental support for additional types of gamepads (many of the most popular ones were already supported).
You can no longer sacrifice cores or convert them into Minor Sigils if they are "special" cores (obtained through events, power spells, Bynine, etc).
The game engine has been updated and loading times should now be much faster.
BATTLE:
Luck (stat) has been revamped.
Now when creatures attack, there is a chance the attack will be either a "mortal" or "glancing" blow.
Mortal blows cause an attack to deal extra damage, glancing blows cause an attack to deal less damage.
The chance for a mortal blow and the damage bonus associated with it increases based on the amount of Luck the attacker has greater than that of its target.
The chance for a glancing blow increases and the damage mitigation associated with it increases based on the amount of Luck the defender has greater than that of its attacker.
Several new abilities react with mortal and glancing blows.
Added 5 new buffs/debuffs.
Enemies now have far fewer spells.
Slightly reduced the defense penalty incurred from provoking.
CASTLE:
You must now find Bynine in a Realm he is no longer unlocked by default at the start of the game. After you find him, he'll move in to the castle forever.
Added 15 new upgrades that allow you to improve various facilities in the castle, including the blacksmith, enchanter, gem temple, and power spells.
Rewrote all the dialogue for NPCs in the castle. They all provide useful game hints now.
Decreased the granite cost of all castle upgrades.
CREATURES:
Rebalanced most abilities. Nothing was weakened or reworked, just some numerical increases.
Rebalanced several buffs and debuffs.
Hounds are now Death creatures (previously Nature).
Slimes are now Chaos creatures (previously Sorcery).
Smogs are now Chaos creatures (previously Sorcery).
Wyverns are now Sorcery creatures (previously Chaos).
DUTIES:
Completing a Duty no longer rewards resources or energy, but still grants items and experience. To compensate, Duties now also reward 1 Royalty Point.
ITEMS:
Added over 100 new crafting materials.
Added over 100 new Major Sigils.
Added 2 new artifact properties.
When you find an artifact, it now has a small chance to have a legendary property applied to it already.
Adjusted the drop rate of all items (too many Bronze Tickets were dropping, for example).
REALMS:
Traveling Merchants can now be found in Realms. They have the potential to sell almost any item in the game, but at a steep price.
These merchants are designed to give you better control over your luck when it comes to acquiring the items you want.
Added 8 new interactable objects to various Realms.
Added 5 new types of Duties.
Added 1 new shrine effect.
Enemies now have a 0% chance to spawn with artifacts at realm level 1.
SPELLS:
Spell mechanics have been revamped.
Goal: make spells more useful against normal creatures and less overpowered when used against Nether Creatures.
The effectiveness of most damaging and healing spells now scales with a new character stat called Spell Power.
Spell Power can be increased by leveling up your character or by investing Royalty Points into relevant perks.
Nether Creatures no longer have an innate 50% resistance to spells. Their higher health is more than enough to mitigate damaging spells now.
Your character's class no longer reduces the mana cost of spells in that class by 50%. Instead, spells that you cast from that class are now much more potent.
BUG/CRASH FIXES:
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when loading a save file.
Fixed several silent crashes that occured when traveling to a new Realm level.
Fixed a bug that prevented the final blacksmith forging upgrade from displaying in the upgrade menu.
Fixed an issue where Dye items were not saved properly.
Fixed a display issue when enchanting an artifact.
Fixed a bug that caused certain realm events to reset upon turning in an overworld quest.
Fixed a bug that prevented the resource bonus from certain shrine effects from working properly.
Fixed several bugs related to on-death abilities.
Fixed a bug with the "Grant Buff" artifact property that caused summoned minion-based buffs to not be applied properly.
Fixed a bug with the Confused debuff that caused certain abilities to activate at incorrect times.
Fixed a bug with the Burn debuff that prevented it from increasing in potency over time.
Fixed a bug with some spells that caused them to target the wrong creature.
Fixed a bug that allowed the player to sometimes gain rewards from sigils even if they failed to beat the sigil encounter.
Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed dead enemies to attack.

New in Siralim 1.3.0 (Jan 5, 2015)

GENERAL:
IMPORTANT: Resource costs and gains no longer scale with your character level they now always remain constant.
For example, it now always costs 1000 essence to create a gem.
This will make your current save files feel very overpowered since many of you now probably have nearly infinite resources.
If you want to bring your resources back down to a normal, balanced level, speak with Zack in the War Room.
Zack will only appear one time and only for save files that were created prior to this patch.
You can now buy lesser Nether Orbs from Bynine's shop starting at level 40.
These Nether Orbs have a much lower range of possible activations and maximum gems than Nether Orbs that are found naturally.
Added a new option that allows message boxes to be displayed at the top of the screen, rather than the bottom.
Disabled the hardware "back" button on Android devices while in a Daily Realm to prevent players from accidentally leaving.
"Diffuse" is now called "Extract", "Plasma" is now called "Energy", and "Particles" are now called "Cores". The former terms didn't fit in well with the game's medieval/fantasy setting.
The amount of Energy required to complete a Power Spell ritual now varies based on the amount of power you invest the more power you invest, the more energy that is required.
Significantly decreased the time it takes to save the game and increased loading speed.
ABILITIES:
Blood Magic (Lich Priest): the creature can no longer kill itself with this ability.
ARENA:
Your dead creatures will now be resurrected with 1 health between fights.
ARTIFACTS:
There are now 20 different types of artifacts (up from the original 3) Swords, Armor, Helmets, Boots, and many more.
Each artifact's base stats either provide a large bonus to one stat, or a smaller bonus to two stats.
By default, the Blacksmith can craft four types of artifacts for you.
You must complete new castle upgrades to increase the types of artifacts he can craft.
There are four additional upgrades in total.
Artifact names are no longer randomly generated they're short and straightforward.
Artifacts now level up after you kill enough creatures with that artifact equipped.
Each level grants the artifact an additional stat slot and increases its primary stats.
This is the only way to gain stat slots. Level 1 artifacts always have only 1 stat slot, level 2 artifacts always have 2 stat slots, etc.
The maximum artifact level is 10, so all artifacts can have a maximum of 10 stat slots.
Even after a legendary crafting material is applied to an artifact, the artifact will no longer be "soulbound".
This means you can now enchant, disenchant, reforge, and salvage an artifact even after applying a legendary crafting material.
There is still a limit of one legendary material that can be applied per artifact.
Rebalanced all properties that grant buffs.
Powerful buffs are now granted by "Greater Inscription of X" materials and are now legendary.
Less-powerful buffs are now granted by "Inscription of X" materials and are now rare.
Artifacts that players created prior to this update will be converted as follows:
Weapons become Swords.
Charms become Necklaces.
Shields become Heavy Shields.
All artifacts start at level 1, but your stat slots will not be removed nor will any of your stats.
All artifact properties have had their values rebalanced.
BUFFS/DEBUFFS:
Berserk creatures can no longer kill themselves from the recoil damage.
ITEMS:
Loot distribution has been overhauled.
Goals: reduce clutter, make loot feel more useful and satisfying.
You will now receive far fewer items than before, but you will also receive less junk.
Nether Orbs are now a little more common, but the best Nether Orbs are still extremely rare.
Added several new items to the loot table.
You can no longer find resources in chests or through other means of looting. You can now find satchels of resources but they're not as common.
Material distribution is no longer limited based on location (for example, some materials were previously only obtainable in the arena, from chests, from salvaging, etc).
You can now find additional Arena Invitations even if you already have one.
Added a new type of item: Pills. These ultra-rare consumable items permanently grant +1 to one of a creature's base stats.
Since creatures have +20% of all base stats for each level, pills allow your creatures to gain a large stat bonus over time.
These items are intended to be an alternate form of advancement for your creatures to allow you to press into higher Realm and Daily Realm levels.
Example: Using a Pill of Attack on your Iron Golem increases its base attack from 32 to 33.
These items have been added as streak rewards for Daily Realms, and are otherwise extremely rare items.
New Power Spell rewards have been added and the drop rates/quantities have been rebalanced.
Added 2 new consumable battle buff items.
Increased the maximum gem level from 9 to 10.
Ankh of Revival has been removed from the game.
REALMS:
The Duties that required you to collect artifacts have changed.
Instead of collecting artifacts, you must now find 5 artifact fragments. After collecting these fragments, you will earn a new artifact.
There are always 5 artifact fragments in the Realms that normally had them, but this is also the new criteria for these Duties.
Improved the reward for several overworld quests (such as finding Ianne's ingots, etc).
Duties that require the player to kill a Nether creature will now spawn a much less powerful creature if the player is below level 20.
Exiting the game while in a Daily Realm now breaks your clear streak.
USER INTERFACE:
The long-awaited overhaul of the user interface is finally here!
The font has been changed to give the game more of a retro feel, and the size of the text has been increased drastically.
Added a new window that appears whenever you acquire items. This window gives you a detailed description of the items and even allows you to use them immediately, rather than having to open your inventory and find them yourself.
Panels/windows have new graphics.
Quests are now displayed when the menu is closed.
The Character Sheet and Creature Sheets now display a graphical experience bar.
The Creature Sheets now show all of a creature's abilities, including those granted by artifacts.
All items now have their own new, unique icons. Spell scrolls now have different colors for each class. Gems have different colors/graphics for each enchantment.
The Action Queue in battle now only displays the five most relevant creatures and now includes each creatures' battle sprite.
Buffs that involve summoned minions now display the number of minions summoned next to the buff's name in battle.
The Transmutation menu now shows a description of the ability granted by a legendary crafting material.
Most interfaces now generally have a more organized layout with less unnecessary text and more important information.
Reorganized the options menu.
Greatly increased the size of the map.
Updated the cursor graphic.
BUG/CRASH FIXES:
Fixed a bug that caused the Dispel and Mass Dispel spells to freeze the game.
Fixed a crash that occured due to the Aftermath spell.
Fixed several bugs with the Blight debuff that caused creatures to die at improper times.
Fixed a bug with the buff/debugg catalog that allowed the player to talk to Katarina while it was open.
Fixed a bug that prevented equipped artifacts from showing up on the disenchantment list if the artifact had no empty stat slots.
Fixed a bug that prevented players from being able to select a Realm level that contained "0" as one of its digits (such as 10 or 105).
Fixed a bug that was introduced in the last patch that caused shrine effects and consumable items to grant 10x the intended amount of bonus stats.
Fixed a bug on Android/iOS that caused the game to thank the player for purchasing it after minimizing and then re-focusing the game.
Fixed a bug with certain battle events that caused them to be applied multiple times in a single battle.
Fixed several display issues where some items had the wrong names.
Fixed several cases that allowed on-death abilities such as Resurrection Code to activate multiple times at once.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to be able to diffuse particles from creatures that should only be obtainable from Power Spells and the Emblem Shop.
Fixed a bug that caused players to be able to walk quickly as if they have the Crown of Haste after purchasing the Pocket Dumpling.
Fixed an issue with the touch controls when casting spells on your own creatures that caused them to become unresponsive temporarily.
Fixed several instances where battle messages would tell you that a buff or debuff was applied but the name of it would be blank.
Fixed a bug that prevented artifacts from being spawned with several different types of properties.
Fixed a bug on Windows/Mac that caused the game window to resize improperly when toggling from fullscreen to windowed mode.
Fixed several crashes related to collecting loot particularly Minor Sigils.
Corrected several materials that were added in the last patch their names were inconsistent with previous materials and they were not the correct rarity.
Fixed a bug that caused single-target friendly spellcasting to sometimes ignore input.

New in Siralim 1.1.1 (Oct 24, 2014)

New in Siralim 1.1.0 (Oct 24, 2014)

General:
Visit the tavern and get drunk on one of several different pumpkin ales.
Take on a repeatable quest to create a legendary crafting material that grants a brand new ability. Speak to Zonte, a new Nether mage NPC in the War Room for more details.
Search through breakable objects for a rare crafting material that applies a brand new battle condition.
Seek out and do battle with the Pumking. You might even be able to summon him if you can kill him.
NEW FEATURE: Siralim can now connect to our server and retrieve online data to enable certain features.
Online features are optional and can be disabled or re-enabled at any time by going to the in-game Options menu.
Currently, the biggest feature that the online functionality adds to the game is access to in-game events, such as the current All Hallows Eve event, along with other smaller events in the future such as a double resource gain weekend.
At the title screen, the game will display a server message which allows us to communicate to you directly, such as to notify you about upcoming events, warn you about bugs, and more. Not that there are ever any bugs.
At the title screen, the game will check to see if you are playing the latest version of the game based on your operating system. If you are not, it will tell you the name of the latest version.
More online features will be added over time.
MAJOR SIGIL OVERHAUL: There is now a Major Sigil that corresponds to every creature in the game.
Each Major Sigil's item description contains a small bit of lore about the creature. If you conquer the sigil, this lore will be stored in Siralim's Library so you can read it at any time.
Major Sigils spawn a pre-determined set of enemies. These enemies are generally more difficult since each team contains creatures that are intended to synergize with each other.
When you conquer a Major Sigil you have a chance to obtain the leader's legendary crafting material. The further your realm level when you use the sigil, the higher the chance to obtain a material.
Major Sigils are now awarded in such a way that you are far more likely to receive one that you have not conquered before.
For balancing purposes, some abilities do not have a corresponding crafting material. If you find a Major Sigil that should award a non-existent material, it will award a random legendary material instead.
NETHER SYSTEM UPDATE: The number of gems you can use to create a Nether Egg is no longer based off your character's level. Instead, each Nether Orb spawns with a set number of gems that can be used, ranging from 15 to 30.
This was done for balancing purposes, and to make the task of creating a Nether Creature a little less tedious at higher levels.
This new system also allows more flexibility and customization with regard to the gem enchantments you can use. If you want to make a Nether Creature with 30 Rubies and nothing else, that's completely possible now.
All the current Nether Orbs in your inventory will be randomly assigned a maximum number of gems when you load your save file.

The camera will now always be centered on your character, even if you are near the edge of a map. This prevents your character from getting hidden behind the touch controls.
