• Update 1.1.5313 - 10 June 2015

  *** 1.1.5313 update, new soundtrack, and Montreal Comiccon 42% discount available for the rest of the week July 3 to 14! *** Hey everyone! This is a small balancing update based on all the community feedback we had on v1.1, plus a few bug fixes. Enjoy! Balancing: Reworked and added descriptions to difficulty settings. The "Normal" setting is the one we recommend to people new to the game who still seek a great challenge. People playing at the former "Normal" setting are now playing at the "Challenging" setting until they restart a campaign. It is not until that enemies have their first specialized skills. Molotov cocktail can now be crafted as soon as a Workshop is discovered in (no need to find blueprint). Improvements: Added missing "bombardment" sound in combat and made the "double strike" animation bigger. Added glow on the Field kit progress bar when it is filled up completely. Als…

• Impressions: Highlands - 18 May 2015

  I fought all the way to my enemy’s doorstep, but now here I am, ten minutes later, back where I started and with an insurmountable force at my door. I started playing Highlands because of the hand-drawn artwork, but its turn-based tactics are harder than they first appear. …

• Planning our first big update - 30 April 2015

  First launch week went amazing and we are super excited to announce Highlands first big update that should be available mid-June. We spent a lot of time listening to our growing community in order to work on what people want the most. Here are the key points we will be improving: • Combat phase evolved: This update will contain features and improvements during the combat phase. The most notable one will be additional skills from all classes that are triggered during combat. Bring your academic in combat and use class-specific skills to turn the tides in your favor! More Awesomeness: We are looking at making skills that trigger on the map having an effect directly inside the combat screen. Think support strategy. We are starting with bombardment: instead of simply blocking the enemy advance, it will also affect all combats in adjacent sectors. You will see a bombardment animation in comb…

• Update 1.0.4974 - 28 April 2015

  Here is our second small maintenance update, we'll continue to roll them out every few days as necessary to make Highlands always better! Stay tuned for our bigger roadmap. Highlands 1.0.4974 =============== Options menu: fullscreen setting was not always saved correctly. Options menu: save games are now sorted by date. Prevent multiple sounds from being played when more than one enemy is hit at once. In the case full-screen video playback is not supported (cause still unknown), it will now no longer crash but instead skip directly to the tutorial. Also fixed a few minor issues and typos.

• Update 1.0.4936 - 24 April 2015

  Hi everyone! Here's our first patch since launch that addresses a few minor issues that were reported. Thank you all for your amazing feedback so far, we'll keep you updated as we focus back on development and plan our next bigger updates. Highlands 1.0.4936 =============== Standardized the set of supported resolutions. Added more space for text to be displayed during dialogs so it is not trimmed in smaller resolutions. Last map of the game has more starting resources & improved links between sectors. Consumable items now stack properly when viewed from the main items bag. Fixed a crash that could occur when unlocking the Old Man and the Sky Kickstarter side-quest from the Options menu (note that the quest was still unlocked correctly). Master volume is now applied correctly over SFX and Music.
