Hi all, after a long period of silence there is a small update to Dark Gates for SteamOS. Game was crashing after initial intro or key press. This has been fixed. This bug could affect other Linux distros too.

Hi all,

Small bugfix release for a bug that prevents in some cases getting Fear spell and which crashes the game. This only was affecting game in English language.

Also i have removed debug console from the game so Dark Gates will launch with only one window.

Thanks.

Latest version have a fix for bug reported recently. Bug was only triggered in condition where:
Step1: Party has been killed while fighting with the Unnamed
Step2: Player saving a game and returning to finish off the fight with the Unnamed
Step3: If some monster have been killed in previous fight but not the Unnamed then game will crash.

This has been fixed now.

It's summer and I got some announcements to make. First one is that from now on comic book is available for everyone regardless do you own the game or not. Now you can download both English and Polish version from story page of Dark Gates website (click here)[darkgates.dfourgames.com]. Enjoy !
Another big announcement is a permanent price drop across all the stores that Dark Gates is sold. Enjoy the new price which is 60% less than original starting price. Steam summer sale is over but new price is here to stay.

Hi All,
Release 1.1 is out and as promised, Dark Gates are now fully translated to Spanish. Apart from this there are few changes in the game that should make game more fluent.

First of them is a skull indicator for spells. If you select a hero to cast a spell and spell might kill him/her while doing so, there is a skull displayed near the spell icon. Also now, if spell cannot be used as it will cost more then a life of one who cast it, it will be greyed out.

Another change is in fight system. As one of the players pointed it out, there is lots of key presses when you fighting. This release makes it easier. If a hero have only one choice in which weapon can be used or there is only one monster to attach, selection will be automatic. This shortens the sequence and hopefully will make fight quicker.

If hero have more than one weapon to use (including magic), player will have to still select which option to go for. Same for more than one monster.

If you prefer to make all choices by yourself then you can do so by adding 'autoselect = 0' in settings.cfg

This release also includes all the hot fixes done in v1.0.1.

Thanks for all the support.
