Alpha Version 1.0.20

Android 15 · iOS 20 Latest

Changes since the previous build (Android 14 / iOS 19).

This is a performance build. Your reports of stutter on the village screen were right; the village drawing was rewritten. The heat in the inventory and at the blacksmith is gone too. Nothing was turned down visually.

The village is smooth now

Every part of the village was being drawn as a separate image — more than three hundred on screen at once — and phones could not composite that smoothly. The whole village is now drawn onto a single surface, the way game engines do it.

  • Panning and zooming are smooth, and so is the glide when you let go.
  • Zooming in no longer degrades the picture; buildings and villagers are sharp at every zoom.
  • Chimneys smoke fully again, forges throw sparks, and the embers are back in the arena braziers.

What changed in the village

  • The Quest Board moved across the road and got bigger; it is easy to spot now.
  • The road north continues into the forest. It used to end under the trees.
  • The forest above and below the village is denser; no ground shows between the trees. The gap left in the rocks behind the Delve is closed.
  • While your champion is working the Delve, a light flickers at its mouth. It goes out when you collect the shift.

Heat in the inventory and at the blacksmith

The frame effect on items at +5 and above (the sparks, and the burning edge past +12) looks the same but runs far lighter: every upgraded item was seven separate animated parts, and is now one. With a full bag your phone should no longer heat up or stutter.

The phone runs cooler in general

Countdowns — quests, territories, the dungeon, the arena shield, the merchant restock counter, the Delve — now tick only while they are on screen. Before, every tab left open was refreshing its whole screen once a second in the background. When you come back to the screen, the counter carries on from the right place.

Your champion

  • The inventory opens dressed. Your champion no longer appears bare and is then clothed.
  • Switching between woman and man at the barber no longer loses the head; the new look arrives in one piece, once it is ready.
  • Android: a piece (helmet, gauntlets, sword) sometimes not being drawn on the champion, and the female champion appearing without hair on the arena result screen, are both fixed.

What we would like you to look at

  1. The village — are panning and zooming smooth? Which phone? A second or two of loading on the first open is normal; after that there should be no stutter.
  2. Heat — stay a few minutes in the inventory and at the blacksmith. Does the phone get hot or sluggish?
  3. Gear on your champion — do you see a missing piece in the inventory, the arena or the result screens? If you do, a screenshot and the phone model help us a lot.
  4. Countdowns — after leaving a tab and coming back, does the time carry on from the right place?
  5. The Quest Board and the Delve light — does the board open in its new place? Does the light come on when you start a shift?
