I appreciate all the love and support and players still excited about the game and playing and even making mods to this day. We've finally wrapped up the character sprite updates for the cast with Saffron and Reva!

I've been working full time on Duelists of Eden which is an online PvP card/fighting game. The game has been rebuilt from scratch and the mechanics are a bit different and catered to be exciting and fun for PvP!

Oh and if you haven't left a review yet, please take a second to write a quick one! It would help a ton ^^

Patch Notes 1.7 | 11-29-2021

Visual:
Updated the default character and boss sprites for Selicy, Hazel, Gunner, and Shiso.
Taunts added for all characters/skins. (Press "Shuffle" + "Remove" on the same frame to taunt, default is Spacebar and G)

Bugfixes:
Fixed positioning parameters for PlaceBeing console command
Sfx changed for Resonate spell
Text input fields now have to be confirmed on to start typing to avoid nav issues

This is just a small final touch on the game, since some of the sprites felt weak in comparison to the others. @jtangc did an amazing job creating new default sprites for us!

The update should be live on all platforms now. Thank you for playing!

-Thomas

Happy 1 year anniversary of One Step From Eden's release!

I decided to work on a very small update for the anniversary which includes co-op improvements and a very simple run history!

Patch Notes 1.6 | 3-26-2021 - Co-op Improvements & Run History

Co-Op Changes:
Players now have separate health pools
Healing is still shared between players
Dead players will now respawn with 100 HP at the end of each battle

Quality of Life:
Runs will now be kept if the game crashes/quits unexpectedly!
Maximum Artifacts increased from 48->56. A lot of people have mentioned this and things can get pretty messy and boring with too many artifacts, but here's a small increase, for fun.

Run History:
The last 10 runs will now be tracked and stored in the Statistics Page.
This includes your seed, character and zone reached.

Modding:
Added mod load order/priority, set it in the mod's WorkShopItemInfo.xml under <Priority>

Reva Alt kit:
Soul Link -> Zenith

Other:
Turret Laser spell no longer consumes, mana increased 3->4
Transmission artifact now updates attack damage on weapon cast

I did want to make more changes to co-op but prioritized it being fun to play with a weaker/newer partner. Now they won't be dragging you down, and they can jump back in to help even when they die!

Hotfix 1.6.1 | 3-27-2021
Fixed a bug where both players would die to a boss in co-op
Fixed a bug where the continue run button would appear after a victory

This will be one of the final updates to One Step From Eden... for now. I've learned so much from creating the game, in coding, business, marketing, and more. Thank you for all the support you've shown me throughout the years. Making One Step From Eden was one of the best decisions of my life because of it.

I hope to make more amazing games for you soon.

-Thomas

Featuring:
+29 New Spells (Calamity for all Brands!)
+32 New Artifacts
Mod sandbox
Lots of Accessibility settings ("easy" mode, hold movement, readability)

And is overall much smarter and scarier!~

Selicy
Special Holiday stuff

Readability Mode - increases size of card descriptions and hides flavor text

Angel Mode ("easy" mode) - reduces damage taken and enemy/boss speed by a %, increasing by 2% every time you die (max 50%). All achievements can still be obtained this way. Character has a halo while this is on. (Removed the halo you get from saving hostages). It's separated into two sliders and can be toggled on and off at any time.

Hopefully this optional accessibility mode allows more people to enjoy the game without removing all the challenge for it. I liked the idea of making the game slightly easier, the more the player dies, so that they are always making progress!

Hell Passes are now individually selectable! (The hell pass 14 achievement can be completed with only hell pass 14 active)

Min and Max appended to amount values i.e. "10+CurrentCardtridges*10|20/200"


Added an xml file "TestZone.xml" for choosing how you want to set up your test environment.
It boots directly into the scene you choose, along with the console and cheat menu being enabled! You can change the enemies and other world variables in Zones.xml. There is also a "developer" sandbox (with the game in debug mode) on the Steam beta branch!
Example path for XML files: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\One Step From Eden\OSFE_Data\StreamingAssets\Data"

There's more info at the bottom of TestZone.xml
Join http://discord.gg/OSFE #modding for more info!

Most of these features came directly from you, the community and I'm happy to finally add them to the game! Thank you for sticking around and coming up with these great ideas!

After the last patch in April, I realized I was pretty burnt out and needed a break from OSFE. I know the extra settings took a while to come out, so I'm sorry for the wait. I still love the game and really enjoy working on it.

What's next?
I've attempted adding online multiplayer but I've decided it will require making a whole other standalone game. I may experiment with that in the future. In the meantime I'm always working on something!

Feel free to follow any future work I do here: https://twitter.com/ThomasMoonKang

Happy Holidays~

Patch Notes 1.4 | 4-14-2020


Some of the Brands didn't match the concept or theme of the spells as well as others. In general it is supposed to be thematic with some outliers as a possibility, but some of them didn't make much sense. There may be more tweaks later. Thanks for bringing this up.

Fun fact: In the lore, the Focuses are what Brand/Company the spell was manufactured by.

Ambient Burst
Focus: Convergence->Doublelift

Fissure
Focus: Kinesys->Hearth

Reflector
Focus: Convergence->Phalanx

Soul Link
Focus: Glimmer->Miseri

Waterfall
Focus: Doublelift->Hearth
Rarity: 1->2


OBeamer4 will now fire an O and an X pattern

Minor adjustments


Added completionist icons next to each hell pass, each colored line refers to a different ending (These will not update retroactively... sorry!)
Reva will now cast a warning effect before Reflecting
Korean localization has been updated
Sword pacts and other effects will no longer kill you when a boss mercys you
Added a sound effect for hazel's big turret spawn
Hell Pass 10: Max Mana -1 -> Shield Decay 60%. The previous max mana reduction ruined some kits, this change also doesn't require me to redo any localization since I can use the descriptions from Duct Tape (which would reduce the shield loss to 45% in this mode). I may try something new with this later on.

Updated Terrable's sprite!

Selicy by Wapolili

I'm slowly but consistently working on all the bugs, and I'll have time to focus on a second options menu next!

Patch Notes 1.3 | 4-7-2020

Boss rewards will now also give a rare+ Spell choice
Boss rewards will now give a rare+ Artifact choice

I've gotten a lot of feedback saying boss kills didn't feel rewarding enough. I agree, getting a common artifact felt pretty meh. Hopefully this not only feels better, but also open up new synergies to explore since they're some of the more powerful items!


New Shuffle time addition: 0.1s (max 1s)

Every time you shuffle in a battle, the total shuffle time will be increased by 0.1s, up to a cap of 1s. This makes decks that blaze through their all their cards a bit less good, but shouldn't feel too noticeable or bad in general. For reference, default shuffle time is 2.5s. The shield decay change also makes this addition less punishing.


Removed 0.01s shuffle increase per card

This should help counteract the new multiplier in some cases

Deck size mana regen now stops after 0.3 mana regen or (15) cards. I've turned the later markers into counters, to help keep track of the size of your deck when the deck gets too large. The markers have all also been moved down by 1, so you just need to hit the marker to activate the bonus mana regen rather than pass it.


Frost
3 Stacks Damage: 100->150

I've had some reports of Frost being underwhelming and I agree it's one of the weaker synergies without artifacts. I'm buffing the damage from it to be more rewarding.


Shield decay on shuffle moved to end of shuffle
Shield decay on end of shuffle: 25%->40%

I've decided to move shield decay on shuffle to when your shuffle is finished so that playing a shield card as your last card doesn't feel so bad. Also you won't be as defenseless while shuffling. The shield decay was increased to 40% to de-incentivize stacking too much shield as a "safe" play, I think this is do-able now that shield is less of a necessity to get through mid-late game. The combination of these should keep shield in a decent spot for both small and large decks.



Doublecasting Flow cards will now trigger Flow on the second cast as well as give extra Flow Stacks

Align
Mana: 1->0

Blade Rain
Will no longer land on broken tiles

Blink
Shield: 10->20

Double Tap
Anchor: Yes->No
Damage: 100->120

Fate Shield:
Hitbox height: 9->3
Horizontal spawn: 0->-1
Projectile speed: 35->30
This should give fateshield more versatility and use cases rather than only being used with step spells

Glaive
Targets: Other->Enemies
This was sometimes killing hostages which felt bad and did not match the description.

Health Catch
Mana: 2->1

Hockey
Duration: 3->5
Damage: 20->40
Increasing the duration and damage to make this worth 3 mana and reward good placement

Kunai
Damage: 40->30
Fixed some cases where kunais could miss
Kunais could push out a bit too much damage for being 0 cost with no anchor. They should still be powerful with artifacts and spell power!

Mana Steal
Damage: 100->120

Meditate
Trinity: 0->1

Pull
Damage: 0->1

Ragnarok
Damage: 300->350

Skipper
Brand: Miseri->Kinesys

Warpath
Damage: 80->120


Duct Tape
Shield Decay: 15%->30%

Elysium
Chance: 25%->50%
Rarity: 0->1

Transcendence
Shield: 800->1000
Changed description to match effect

Uranium
Spell Power: 10->8
Can now hit through shield but will not kill


Selicy Default
Snow Piercer (Weapon)
Dmg per Frost stack: 60->80

We increased the damage per Frost stack on target to keep up with the Frost damage buff.
Update: We'll keep it at 1 mana and leave it to the player to learn since she was really strong. I'll try to find a better balance moving forward.


Shopkeeper
Money lowered for certain Hell Passes


Violette
