Hi, I'm Hitan from Hapiwaku the development team of Incremental Epic Hero!
Last month, we released the Playtest of Incremental Epic Hero 2.
We are tremendously grateful for all of your feedback, as more people participated in our playtest than we originally anticipated, you have helped us to make many positive changes to the game. Thank you so much for your help with that. However, our original timetable for completing certain objectives has, as a result, been delayed, and there are several more features and mechanics that we feel must be present in the game before we release it to early access.
This means that our original release date of June 10th is no longer feasible.

Then we have determined the new release date on July 22nd.
We will also start the new IEH2 Playtest on June 10th! At that time, we will wipe the saves of IEH2 Playtest since we've added a lot of content and changed the balance around even for early game. We are really grateful for everyone participating in the IEH2 Playtest. I'm sorry that we need to reset the saves, so much has changed that in order to get the quality of feedback we need for further balancing, this is an unfortunate, but necessary, course of action. However, we’ll be distributing appreciation gifts in the June 10th patch for you all, as our way of saying thank you for participating and helping us make this game great!

At the new Playtest ver. 0.3.0.0 launch on June 10th

- For participants of IEH2 Playtest before June 10th:

• 3000 Nitro
  
• Enables to switch nitro speed from x2 to x3

At the official launch on July 22nd
- For participants of IEH2 Playtest before June 10th:

• 3000 Nitro

• Some amount of Epic Coin

- For IEH1 Players:

• Special Talismans (The amount is determined by Steam Achievement # you get in IEH1. Talismans are extra boosts of stats in game.)

Caution : The gifts are subject to change

So, if you already joined in IEH2 Playtest before June 10th, you will be able to play the new playtest from June 10th with super speed nitro (x3 speed, not x2). You will also get the starting boost with 3000 nitro on both new playtest and real launch! In addition, we will implement Steam Achievement in the new playtest, that will be the same as in the real launch. According to the number that you get the achievements, you will get the starting boost of Portal Orbs at the real launch too! (Portal Orbs are the limited items that you can get several amount per day from daily quests, and are used for entering dungeons, that is one of the greatest way to level heroes.)
Again, we are really appreciate to you all for giving us wonderful feedback! We will keep developing the game and improve more and more with you all 😄
Thank you for continued supports!

Hi, I'm Hitan from the Hapiwaku IEH development team.
Today, we are pleased to announce a Playtest of Incremental Epic Hero 2!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1690710/Incremental_Epic_Hero_2/

We are currently targeting official launch date on June 10th 2022.
Toward that goal, we will conduct a public playtest for about a month. This will help us balance the game and improve other various aspects of the game in preparation for the official release.
Please try it and post any feedback! We are very active in Discord Community[discord.gg] and open to hear your voice to improve the game and make it more fun! Even if you've never played IEH1, you will still enjoy IEH2 🙂

Though there are a lot of new features in IEH2, let me introduce some of them:

• In addition to the original 3 characters, Warrior/Wizard/Angel, 3 new characters are in IEH2! Thief, Archer and Tamer.
  
• A whole new prestige system for each class and the whole world!
  
• A Town building system that allows you to boost upgrades, unlock new areas, and other parts of the game.
  
• Chat feature in the game that makes gameplay more enjoyable!
  
• New graphics with full HD widescreen and super optimized game performance!

When we first announced about IEH2 in IEH1 page just a year ago, IEH2 was going to be just a remaster of IEH1, but over the past year, IEH2 has become a completely new game compared to IEH1! After several alpha and beta tests, and thanks to our test team and players in Discord, the game has taken an amazing leap forward over the past year.
With only about a month left until this official launch, we would love to have your help to make even more strides. Please join our Discord Community[discord.gg] and post your great feedback 🙂
Also, please don't forget to add this game to your wishlist so that you don't miss the official release!

Message from Developer Kei
Hello, everyone. First of all, sorry for the long delay in updating.
In this update, there are some major changes to the system and the save system for continuous updates in the future . (As a result, the file size of the save data for the next update may become very large). As a result, various bugs have arisen and we are taking time to fix them. We apologize to everyone for the long wait.

I also want to let you know about the development of IEH2, which has already started, but rather than being a sequel to IEH1, it has been decided that it will be a game with completely new content (although the basic combat system will be the same). Therefore, IEH1 will continue to be updated continuously as well.

There are a couple of things that concern me about this update. First, a major system modification is changing the save system. It will not affect gameplay, but the size of the save file has been increased. There may also be some potential bugs caused by this. However, this is also necessary for us to keep this game updated for a long time, so we hope you understand.

About Future Update,
We will be adding more powerful challenge bosses as future updates. Like Curse Reincarnation, there will be restrictions on various stats. Also, higher tier stats will be available and you can enhance them with artifacts. Anti Magic Power will become very important in the next challenge boss.

Please look forward to it!

Thank you for playing IEH and for all your comments!

Today, April 15, 2021 is the first anniversary of Incremental Epic Hero!We first released the alpha version on January 2020. A lot of people found our game and gave us feedback and made a lot of discussion. Then we improved it and officially released IEH on Kongregate[www.kongregate.com] just a year ago, April 15, 2020. We won the 4th place in Kongregate Monthly Contest of April 2020. After a while, we achieved one million plays on Kongregate. We continued to improve IEH step by step, thanks to your all support. After releasing it on Armorgames[armorgames.com] and Crazygames[www.crazygames.com], we finally released it on Steam on February 2021, that was our immediate goal. Then we are pleased to welcome the first anniversary today! We are so happy and grateful to see more and more people enjoy our game. The number of the members in our Discord server[discord.gg] is currently more than 2200, still increasing! Thank you again for your support!


IEH will keep growing in the future too. We are pleased to announce the roadmap for IEH at this time!

As we previously announced, we started to develop IEH2, that is a sequel to the current IEH.
This time we announce that IEH mobile version (iOS & Android) launch has been decided!
We will tell you the detail of it in the near future!


Also, to celebrate the 1st anniversary, we posted new illustrations from Hapiwaku artwork team!

I have been very busy last year because I was also a graduate school student and I had to work in physics research. I just graduated this spring and became to be able to concentrate on IEH development! I'd love to communicate you all more often. We need you! Let us improve IEH more and more fun together!!!
Thank you!

The screen size issue happened sometimes, that you cannot play the game with no screen size.
We apologize for any inconvenience. We are currently investigating in the issue.

For those who encounter this issue, Please try inputting "Shift-Alt-S".
I hope it will be fixed then :)

We will keep developing to improve IEH a lot!
Thank you for all your comment! :D
