A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

This is a quick patch that fixes a bug. When you kill the Bandit Lord from a distance and he drops his axe, it would cause an error. This was introduced in a recent patch that altered my code for weapon pickup/drop. This bug is now fixed.
This patch adds general polish to the game. The next patch will add the multilingual system, which will support 29 languages! If an upgraded bones ally becomes a rabbit, his head would turn into a black box and his torso wouldn't change into a bunny. This is now fixed. Unlimited arrows quiver ragdoll drew as a black box. This is now fixed. In the info tutorial message for unlimited quiver, the quiver image was still the placeholder image. Quiver is now lined up correctly for ragdoll During a recent patch, the cape stopped drawing for Herakles' ragdoll. This is now fixed and the cape draws for
Fixed a bug that caused the "Over 9000!!!!" achievement to trigger as complete when simply producing 5 bone allies without having to actually upgrade them all the way (which would take about another 25 lightning bolts)
Fixed a bug that would cause the game to display an error on launch if you played the demo's version 2021.05.12 and then played the full version's 2021.05.12. Launching the game after the error displays once would make it go away for good, but this patch fixes the bug completely.
This patch adds 50 Steam achievements to the game. The Demo was also updated. The next patch will focus on general polish. Some achievements will be unlocked upon starting the game. This is because data on them was stored in files or in Steam stats. If someone was to play the Demo client and unlock an achievement, it will automatically unlock when they purchase and start the full game. Also, I did a marketing update to the game: Created animated wallpaper for Herakles Created an updated Speedrun trailer Updated Steam page Updated heraklesgame.com Updated beckergames.com Created Demo installer
This patch adds some quality of life enhancements and fixes to the Speedrun update. This will be the last major update/patch before the Achievements update! Any other patch before then will be to fix unforeseen bugs. Added new rules to Speedrun.com. If someones time is really fast, a video link will be required. See the game's Speedrun.com's rules for details. Reduced the distance to heal in Demo and Classic modes. Previously, the player would heal when they were 1,920 pixels away from an enemy. Now, the player will heal if they have no enemies on the screen. This is normalized to a 1920x1080
This patch fixes a bug in the cheat detection. It had a chance of banning runs that were legit. This bug has been addressed and fixed. Only one person experienced this bug and that person is unbanned. They did not hack anything and it was just a bug. This patch also has added and changed the format of data that is submitted to the leaderboards. For this reason, if you check the box "Compare Against: World Record" and the World Record was a previous version of the game, it will return that the world record is corrupted. This will be fixed once people beat the world records with the new version/
This patch balances and fixes things from the Speedrun Patch. In the next patch, I will be continuing to work on improving the Speedrun Patch. It was a big patch and plenty to improve upon. Balanced Recruiting Soldier's #1 level in Demo and Classic modes. The 3 soldiers and 1 pikemen that come overtop of the pit sometimes came in faster than you can get there. For speedrunning, it now feels better and possible to overtake them from underneath with a bow. Demo and Classic modes now allow you to heal if you are far enough a way from an enemy. This isn't going to be seen much in speedrunning, but
I am happy to finally share the biggest patch that Herakles has ever had! This Speedrun patch adds so much to the game, including a speedrun mode and leaderboards! See below for a full summary of everything that has been added/changed. Speedrun: 3 game modes, consisting of 5 total leaderboards Automatic speedrun route system - routes diverge any time a player enters a level or acquires a new buff. A segment ends and begins when a player leaves a level. If a player chooses to "Stay in Level" to acquire an item or buff, the level will not end until they exit the level. Every speedrun attempt is
Cloud patch is here! This patch enables cloud saving, in preparation for the upcoming speedrun patch. The speedrun patch will save every speedrun attempt and other fun things, so it made sense to set up the cloud saving system, first. There are also other various improvements and fixes in this patch. The demo version was also updated. The next patch will be the speedrun patch! :D Cloud patch, moved file location of saved data into: AppData/Local/herakles/userdata/ There are 2 folders here, Cloud and Local. Cloud stores saved data that is synced between computers. Local stores files like "setti
This patch adds more gameplay and general improvements. This is the 2nd and final part of the gameplay and general improvements patch. The next patch will be the speed run patch! Ragdolls are now automatically removed after 100 are on the screen. This number would never occur in normal play, but it is good to have to prevent all possible lag. Dropped weapons are now automatically removed after 100 are on the screen. Renamed dolphin to Delphinus. Delphinus makes more sense for Greek mythology. She was a dolphin that helped Poseidon, and in return he placed her amongst the stars (as a constellat
This patch adds a number of gameplay and general improvements. This is part 1 of the gameplay and general improvements patch. It is a very large patch and so I decided to split it into 2 patches. The next patch will be another gameplay and general improvements patch. On king's tower level, the missing scenery "back" blocks felt off and so I made it level. On King's Tower level, when doing lightning, if no block is underneath the mouse, the lightning will summon all the way to the bottom, making it look strange as you can then see the top of the lightning sprite/image. It now will create at the
This patch includes non-game related updates and demo updates. The next patch will revolve around gameplay improvements and other general improvements. It will set things up for the speed run patch. Herakles t-shirt is finished and now available from heraklesgame.com. I will advertise it at a future date in order to attempt a reverse-marketing strategy. In which people will find the shirt, like it and then search for the game. Next patch will have the Arcade Popup include a Shop tab. It is already created, but I just need to enable it. Set up SEO for heraklesgame.com. People can now search for
Great news! Steam released a new system for soundtracks. All soundtracks were previously DLC, but now developers can list a soundtrack under the "Soundtrack" category. This means you can now purchase the Herakles soundtrack on Steam without having to buy the game. I also updated the Herakles soundtrack's album art. Check it out on Soundtrack's own Steam page!
This patch fixed and improved a few things. The next patch will revolve around polishing the cover art and updating the library assets with it. Fixed the randomize characters checkbox depth. It was over top of the settings popup. D and A keys on OST screen now work as they should. Updated unlimited Arrow Buff with new artwork. It previously just said "temp". Improved the arcade popup's divider and it is now better looking.
