In version 1.0.5. many changes have been made. Everything was based on your feedback:

- New languages were added. Now Fearmonium is available on: Russian, English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Japanese;

- Fixed the balance in battles with bosses: no more enemies that took some players 10 minutes to kill. However now the main character also receive more damage;

- Improved the impact from the attacks;

- Changes affected sections that annoyed some of the players: for example, an escape from a crowd of schoolchildren is much more easier now;

- Changed the behavior of some mobs;

- Changed the arrangement of mobs on some levels;

- Changed the way some abilities are used. For example, the Wizard now deals more damage, but since now while using an umbrella stamina doesn't restore.

Hope the game gets better.
Feel free to report any issues you find in the related thread: https://gtm.you1.cn/app/1068360/discussions/0/3117032860239491802/

Here goes a big DreamHack Beyond!

https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/1068360/Fearmonium/

A small patch affecting a couple of rare, but very unpleasant bugs:

- Disappeared the possibility of "breaking" Vincent with a very rapid improvement of abilities disappeared;

- Disappeared the possibility of losing one of the three keys. If you defeated three bosses in a certain chapter of the game, but you have two keys in your inventory - do not be afraid, go to the door to stepfather's office, it will open;

- Fixed a few more "joints" at inclined platforms, where the character could stuck into an invisible wall;

- The ability to fly off the screen in one of the places with trees has disappeared.

Important information: [/]

Even minor changes can lead to unexpected bugs. A bug I know caused by updates: the likelihood of losing the file where the game settings are stored. This happens in 1 person out of 100 and is fraught with the fact that when you try to load the game, each slot will show the inscription "new game".

If you are sure that in the main menu on one of the slots you had a save, but you see the inscription "new game", to load your save, select the desired slot and simultaneously click on "1 + 2 + 3" (not on the numlok). The game should load. If something doesn't work out - feel free to write to me at redblackspade@gmail.com

Now you can choose out of four languages!

All the thanks for Portugese goes to Grégory Rodrigues Teixeira! For the German thanks goes to Martina Seemann, Steven Korkowsky and Marcel Weyers!

If you found any mistakes in these translations - please let me know!

So, friends, the moment has come for the most serious update of all that I have planned. The new version of the game has revised balance, controls and key animations.

Legacy branch

In case If for some reason you want to continue playing on the previous version of the game or just to take a look on how the game was before, then there is a Legacy branch for you! In order to switch to it, select Fearmonium in the list of applications in the Steam client, right-click on the title of the game, select "properties", "betas " and select legacy in the list of branches. The name of the game will change to Fearmonium [legacy].

Thank you for your feedback and advices!
I hope I made the game better and will definitely continue to improve it.

They are here.

Hello everybody!

I carefully read the reviews of the game and now I am making a list of what I will improve with the next patch.

Therefore, what I am planning:

- Increase the range and the speed of the hammer attack;

- Reduce the amount of HP to the last bosses, increasing their attack power;

- Make a separate scale of stamina for the dash so that it does not "compete" with the abilities;

- Increase the recoil speed when firing missiles or increase the power of the missiles (not yet decided);

- Give an opportunity to dash through the enemies without equipping a special item;

- Reduce the price for improving abilities in Vincent's shop;

- Improve the wheel for changing abilities and items a little more;

- Revise hitboxes of some enemies: for example, a knight with a shield. Write down whose hitboxes still bother you;

- Increase the time for the coyote jump.

These are serious changes and I do not promise that they will appear earlier than in a month / two months.

If you have any other suggestions, I will be glad to hear them in this thread. If you want to take part in testing this patch, you can also write here, and I will give you access to the test branch as soon as I bring some changes in the game.

Thanks for your feedback!
