- Version 1.7.0 - Shrubberies! - 4 November 2024
This patch addresses the comments that the game looks pretty bad in open spaces where there's basically just a green field. I've added a bunch of random decorations to all areas, grass patches, sticks, small stones et cetera. It also fixed a couple of minor graphical glitches such as the player not being properly layered behind certain buildings or when moving through doors. A couple of chests and other items has been slightly moved to allow for better movement.
- Version 1.6.0 - The world map! - 16 June 2024
This is version 1.6.0, which will be the last patch that will add anything to the game, any additional patches will only be bugfixes (and maybe smaller graphical updates to the map)! The most wanted feature has been added: The world map! The map is not an exact replica of what the world looks like, but you should easily be able to make out which road to take to get to a certain place. After you've followed the main quest for a bit so you'll unlock the quest to kill the six guardians the skulls will show up on the map. One of the skulls will be red, and that is the dungeon that you should head to next, you can of course pick any other dungeon but you might not be able to complete it since you are lacking the items required to do so. The map will be slightly changed after clearing certain areas (like the toxic forest and swamp).
- Version 1.5.0 - Additional Language Support! - 10 June 2024
Version 1.5.0 is now released and it contains three additional languages, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean! The entire game is translated as well as the steam page, and all of the acheivement names and descriptions! Additionally there's been several minor bug fixes and graphical fixes.
- Version 1.4.1 - Patch Notes - 10 June 2024
I've added two additional menu options specifically to make it easier to speedrun now that there's been one official attempt/record, difficult not to get the record when you are first =D One option is to skip the intro, because that takes up a full minute and there's nothing you can do to speed it up. The second is "Lock Cursor To Window" this is on by default, by turning it off you can, in the case of the speedrunner, vanni_van, scroll through your notes outside of the window while still actively playing the game using the keyboard or a controller. Here is the video of the current world record for any% of Adventure of Rikka: The Cursed Kingdom =) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFICHAKZubQ This patch also has a couple of minor bugfixes that was discovered during the speedrun.
- Version 1.3.11 - Patch Notes - 24 May 2024
The game now has its old font again when playing in English! The fonts for the other languages now contains all characters, so there won't be any "unknown character boxes" and weird formatting on some characters. The bombs now play out their full sound effect when exploding, it was cut short before. Activating teleporters for the first time now plays a little sound. The fire wand has had it's animation slightly changed and the projectile it's collider so it shouldn't push through colliders when standing next to them. Now you don't have to face the minecarts to jump into them, generally you have to look at an interactable object when interacting with it, like an NPC or a sign, even if there is a exclamation mark above their head. But with the bombs and minecarts you can use them even if you are looking at the wrong way. This is because of a technical error where the game sometimes didn't…
- Version 1.3.3 - Patch Notes - 9 May 2024
Music switching between death and respawns are now fixed, before it would keep the same music during the death screen and you would get the death screen/menu music instead of the area music when respawned. A couple of minor graphical bugs in the menu has been fixed, the settings and credits menu will be switched off when pressing a button in the background. During first startup the game should auto detect your steam language if you are using one of the 6 supported languages and switch to that one. If your language isn't supported it will default to English.
- Version 1.3.0 - 5 May 2024
Patch 1.3.0 includes a fast travel system. The system is unlocked by freeing the man in the machine, he will unlock the temple and your start area teleporters, if you have already met him in your save file then those will be available, but with all others you have to walk up to them once before they become activated There's also been about 30 bug fixes since the last published patch notes (1.2.5)

- Works on Steam Deck! - 14 April 2024
This post explains that the game works on the steam deck. There is a waiting list on being able to submit your game to become steam deck verified and that's reserved mainly for popular games, but hopefully we might get that stamp in the future =) The UI of the game was actually built to fit the Steam Deck display and is then scaled up for larger monitors. The game works without any touchscreen interaction, you can of course if you want to press the screen to navigate the menu, but just the built in controller (or any other controller) is recommended. The Steam deck image below might be a bit distorted because I had to shrink down the screenshot to fit the picture of the deck =D I tried taking a picture of my actual Steam Deck but it didn't look good because of glare and lighting =) Screenshot of a dialog: Screenshot of the inventory UI:
- Version 1.2.5 - Patch Notes - 11 April 2024
The knockback effect is now also applied to the player Large fish has been updated to be found in more places, you still need to fish in certain places for specific fish but it should be easier to find the large ones. There's a new setting to disable mouse input (will also hide the cursor) When playing in windowed mode the mouse can no longer leave the window Minor graphical bugs fixed
- Version 1.2.3 - Patch Notes - 11 April 2024
A huge exploit was fixed where you could break the layer transition with the grappling hook so as long as you had a layer transition anywhere like some stairs, you could effectively go up or down while staying on the same layer making you able to walk through walls. Thanks to Beardlass for finding this bug! =) Another huge thing in this patch is that the knockback that enemies suffer when you are hitting them is sooo much smoother now. It's an actual animation instead of an instant knockback effect.
- Version 1.2.0 - Patch Notes - 9 April 2024
A lot of minor things has been fixed, mostly small visual bugs. The game actually contained 52 coins and 92 shards even though the achievements for a 100% run would be 50 and 90 respectively. So those extra ones has been removed and replaced by purple (100 silver) coins. A new part of the collections tab has been added to help the people who are trying to find everything in the game =) It now contains the number of coins, chickens, orbs and shards available in an area. The Orb counter (a maximum of 19) is showing you the number of orbs you have picked up, NOT the number of orbs you have created by combining shards.
- Version 1.1.7 - Patch Notes - 6 April 2024
Fixed a "chicken on the wrong layer" bug Disabled the updated notification on the main quest after killing the optional beach boss Replaced a burnable log with a crystal since the logs are no longer burnable. Thanks to Saurados again for finding these bugs (and a couple of others that will be fixed in future patches).
- Version 1.1.6 - Patch Notes - 5 April 2024
Fixed a bug where you would become unable to perform any action if you got hit in the middle of an axe chop You can now grapple chickens Made the falling shards of the second boss deal 0 damage after the boss dies (if there's any falling while he dies) Same thing with the final boss, his thunderstrikes will deal no damage if you kill him while he is summoning a lightning storm You can no longer burn movable logs (to prevent out of bounds exploits) A big thanks to Jana and Saurados for finding the bugs
- Version 1.1.3 - Patch Notes - 5 April 2024
Three new achivements were added: Defeating the Sand Boss Grabbing the orb in the crane mini game Completing all minecart mini game challanges in the lava biome The cost for doing the minecart challange has been lowered to 10 instead of 50.
- Version 1.1.2 - Patch Notes - 4 April 2024
Four NPCs in the game got added dialogs, at certain points they would have nothing to say. The Caravan Master will now move to the forest bar when you've talked to him as he should. A sign has been added in the area to the west of town telling you to go up to Greyhook. Thanks to Adjuzi for pointing out the characters without dialog =)
- Version 1.1.0 - Achivements! - 4 April 2024
Achievements has been added to the game! They will be retroactively activated once you start your game (and chooses continue game to load your save file). Good luck getting the Collect all 90 shards of Amulah achievement =D
- Version 1.0.16 - Patch Notes - 1 April 2024
Fixed another infinite shard glitch. Also double checked every single chest in the game so there won't be more of those.
- Version 1.0.15 - Patch Notes - 1 April 2024
Fixed an infinite shard glitch where you could open a chest over and over again. Fixed an issue in the lava biome where a chest was on the wrong layer so the player would just walk over it. Big thanks to Mara Vertin for reporting these issues.
- Demo version updated! - 31 March 2024
The demo has been updated to match the full version (v 1.0.14). A lot of the areas are blocked of though.
