UPDATE: 8/29/2024 [PC + Android]

What's changed:

Several bug fixes - hopefully including: Several instances of crashes/freezes due to certain errors.

Brand new loading system [Load up the game - the load time should be way faster now!]

New dynamic enemy/tile loading system. WIP. Please use the bug report feature in game if you find any bugs or experience any unusual lag.

Combat tweaked. To go into explicit detail here would be silly. But in short, Defence defends better, calculations have been adjusted, armor bonuses are more straightforward, enemies are less dumb, and die better. Also of note - The player can be clicked through now!!!

Hitboxes adjusted

New options coming - check it out. You now have hair! one type for now but you can change the color to be any color you wish! In the Options menu you can access the customizer, and the change is live for new saves/accounts. [so you can choose from the Tutorial as well].

UI tweaks for mobile. Also in general. but mobile UI should be far more friendly now. effected includes:

Inventory, Chat, NPC Dialogue, Smithing and Glass Smithing UI, and other little stuff.

New compression method: all prior builds were using LZ4HC. while this is fine in general for higher end devices, this is unneeded and hard on lower end devices. now using LZ4 - in general, you should see improved consistent frame rate and overall game speed.


New NPCs and NPC Models: not sure if this was present in any past update logs, so I'll include it all.

Attackable NPCs added + models: Rat, Crab, Big Crab, Minotaur [WIP] 


New respawn system: Old system required a copy of each enemy, saved to RAM. now there are prefabs, saved to disk. should be a huge lag saver.


Removed a lag maker: The old world map system used a single 10,000 by 10,000 pixel image for the map before I wound up making 'chunks'. this image was still present [technically] in the game. it has been deleted. I presume it was causing a lot of lag behind the scenes that couldn't be identified til now.



Enjoy! please report any bugs you find and feel free to leave suggestions. it's early in development - now's a great time to get your ideas in game!

Edit OUT!

Progress halted for a bit

 Hey everyone, it's Edit. disaster struck recently and I nearly lost everything Ehnheration [aside from a 9 month old backup]. Thankfully due to some 80s hacker type software, I was able to get a recent copy of my project on Unity again. However, it was sort of broken. specifically the TextMeshProUGUI Components. Managed to fix those. but unfortunately all text that was previously in them - is not anymore. Also the next thing for the upcoming update - the scripts still here, the UI is gone. So I'll be focusing on restoring text and remaking that UI for now. might take a little while, but then we'll be back in business.  Big thanks for all your support so far, hope you've been enjoying the game. if you don't see any updates for awhile - this is why. fear not - your current [up to date via itch] version of Ehnheration should function just fine and you won't be losing any of your singleplayer progress. Stay tuned for the next major update!! it's been delayed, b...
