Hi all,

We've uploaded all-new installers for Hammerwatch that will update your game to version 1.3. Please download the installer for your OS of choice in order to get all the latest and greatest features, fixes, and bells-n-whistles :D

Changelog for version 1.3:



Expansion:
* Temple of the Sun - Fully new desert campaign, with new themes,
bosses, challenges etc.

Achievements:
* Added several new achievements for the desert campaign
* Added one for the completion of both campaigns

Modifiers:
* Added faster (5x) mana-regen speed

Thief:
* Rebalanced a few skills
* Skills do not cost money to use
* Thiefs skills costs more to buy
* Thief hits with both daggers
* Graphics when destroying projectiles

Paladin:
* Graphics when blocking projectiles

Warlock:
* Can't destroy projectiles

Music:
* Better looping
* Crossfading between tracks

UI:
* Added some small sprites for mana drain and slow effects, over the
player. So it's easier to see when running w/o effects and lights

Menus:
* Reworked several of the menus, they should all work in any of the
selectable resolutions now.
* Better menu navigation
* Small help and info section, just some basic info for new players
* Added two more resolutions, one 4k and one super small
* Looked over some features, added a color switch button instead of
clicking on the hero in the lobby
* Delete and Rename saved games
* Single and Multiplayer have different load menus and games are filtered
* More random backgrounds and you now see more of them, if anyone ever
cared =)
* Logo is twice the resolution =)

Controls:
* Rebalanced the auto-fire

Thanks and have a nice day :)

Nice to see an update! But will my older save from the previous version work with v1.3?

Hmmm not sure, best to back it up and see :)

Personally speaking, I've never really had a problem with saves from an older version not working after an update UNLESS the developer stated specifically that the saves would be invalid :) Your mileage may vary, of course :)

I see! So with the expansion, is that like a stand-alone campaign or is it merged with the original campaign?

It's a separate campaign that you can choose to play through after you select either single player mode or multi :)

Nice!

Too bad I recently got the Steam version in a bundle, automatic updates and all that... :P

This is as good a time as any to thank Judas for talking me into this. This and a WW2 flight game is all I have been playing this month.

The balanced Thief should be nice because right now I can't get anywhere unless I use the ranger. :D

Oh side note, if I want to screw around with different characters and start new games with them, it won't overwrite my other game will it, ie if I'm using a Ranger and want to play as a Wizard it will keep two separate saves correct?

Yeah, the only thing that screwed me over so far was different games not being differentiated by different savegame names (and no way that I know of changing it).

It gets pretty messy when you have 3 separate multiplayer games with different groups of friends, plus a separate single player game for each character class...

And of course, the ordering of savegames doesn't stay the same either as the most recent goes on top.

Probably the messiest aspect of an otherwise very well designed game.

Sweet, that should go a long way toward resolving that issue!

I agree, I think Indie devs are pretty commited to their games overall, but imho, those guys and the guy behind Unepic are something else entirely. The Don't Starve and FTL devs have been exceptional with extra content also.

I've just tried my v1.2 save with Hammerwatch v1.3 and it seems to load ok!
Posted September 23, 2014
Older saves work for me, as well.

Thanks to the awesome devs for supporting us GOG customers and keeping their amazing game updated in here! :D
