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.

UPDATE #16 v1.2.1 -Added Spring 50% off Sale -Gave Everyone 2000 Philosopher Stones. We know a lot of people are bored stuck at home, so we wanted to give out some philo stones to help you have a little fun. -Added Tier 4 liquid gold.
EDIT: -FPS Cap and Spend Rate – Patched in a bug fix. This now limits the FPS back down to 60fps. This will also help with the extreme spending rates of everything that was happening. Sorry about the inconvenience. UPDATE #15 v1.2 -Skills – Skill Tree now has a ”Quick Fill” button after your first time shift. This will apply your currently available points to your previously applied skills of your last time shift. -Skills – Skill Points from the Faction Window bonus no longer automatically fill in themselves so that they can be applied with the Quick Fill feature that was added. Note: They wil
UPDATE #14 v1.1 -Time Shifting – Time Shifting now only Shifts you to half of your MAX stages reached. For example if you reached a max stage of 800 and you time shift you will only go to stage 400 on your time shift ((Your mage level will also be 400)). Everything will reset as normal, but you will have skill points of the same Mage level’s worth (400 levels worth of skills points to spend in this example). You still have to spend everything like a normal time shift. This is mainly to speed up your climbing back up to your max path and MP/KP gains/farming. -- This should still allow you to ha
UPDATE #12 v1.0.9 -New Mage – The Newest Mage The Druid joins the halls of the Mage’s Guild. He can be viewed in the Mage’s window and is available in the Shop for Philosopher Stones. He has a special bonus for having him as an active or support mage of an Ingredient find chance for making Alchemy buffs. He also has a permanent 30% HP/DMG bonus for owning him once he’s purchased, regardless of if he’s selected at all or not. -Fairy Runes – Three New Fairy Runes have been added to unlock! Once you reach the stage to unlock these, they are permanently unlocked. They will be available that same T
UPDATE #11 v0.0.8 -Badges – More badges have been added to Tier 1 and higher -Mini-Badges – Mini-Badges have been added to the Tiers. These can be found on the right side of the tiers in the Liquid Gold window, and much like the normal badges, once unlocked, work from Tier 0 Stage 1. These give HP/DMG bonuses for reaching them. You can unlock one for reaching STAGE 250, 500, and 750 in each Tier. -Shop Item: Lost In Time - Returned at request but with a weekly limit of 2. -Bugs – Various bugs and typos fixed.
UPDATE #10 v0.0.7 -Sale – You can now find a First time buy sale in the shop for double philosopher stones. The sale only works one time. (You can use this sale even if you have purchased previously it will just count towards your next purchase of philosopher stones). -Offline Gains - Fixed a bug causing offline gains not to happen if you were getting the Daily Login rewards at the same time. -Trophies - The difficulty of Rank 2 trophies have been decreased -The Arachnid Queen - Passive bonus from owning her raised to 30% HP/DMG (Up from 25% HP/DMG) - You get this increase if you already own h
UPDATE #9 v0.0.6 -Balancing - There were a lot of buffs to your progression implemented in various forms. -Faction Levels – Each faction level you gain now increases your health and damage permanently as well. -Skulls – To help you know when, on a super push run, you’re pushing past when you should realistically be Time Shifting, we’ve added Skulls to between the mage and enemy health bars. You’ll see between 0 to 5 skulls stacking. When you start seeing skulls it means the difficulty of the monster is increasing and your experience gains are reducing. While you might find that you’re alright
UPDATE #8 v0.0.5b -Stats Max Stage reached can now be found in stats page in a raw format. -Stats previously Max level reached can now be found in stats page in a raw format. -Fairy Runes – Got a visual update. They still function the same, it’s just a visual update to keep them more in line with the game’s appearance and the new liquid gold appearance. -Skills – We’ve loosened up the requirements for spending skills to unlock the next row of skills, this should allow you to make a bit more decisions when it comes to which skills you want and what strategy you’re looking for. -Skills – Tier 2
UPDATE #7 v0.0.5 -SUPPORT MAGES – NEW SYSTEM – Support Mages have been added to the game! Support mages allow you to use additional mages at half value to support your main mage! This also allows you to ‘quick switch’ mages in the main game if you’re an active player who wants to make the most out of using multiple mages. There are a total of 4 Support Mage slots. You unlock the first Support Mage slot at Stage 750. The second at Stage 1500, the third at Stage 3000. The Fourth slot is available for Philosopher Stones in the Store and purchasable starting at stage 300. Using the slots you can m
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35806737/2922362729806e65553f866bf832fdbf2fc56a9f.png UPDATE #6 v0.0.4 ] - Leaderboards Now display in the Tier – Stage format. - Leaderboards We’ve reset the leaderboards, they’ll repopulate over the next few days. Don’t panic :P. We’ll only reset them occasionally. - LIQUID GOLD System has been updated. You’ll now see each Liquid Gold SPELL has 10 Ranks with increasing level goals and increasing values. This should help you have shorter term goals and feel more progression on them as well. You can now also buy in stacks of x10, x25, and x100. As you level you’ll fill up go
UPDATE #5 v0.0.3 - New Mage The newest Mage, The Arachnid Queen joins the halls of the Mage’s Guild. She can be viewed in the Mage’s window and is available in the Shop. She has a special bonus just like all of the other mages but also a permanent bonus of health and damage simply for owning her. This extra hp/dmg bonus will be active all of the time regardless of if she's active or not! - Mage Window You now need to hit the SELECT button to choose a mage. This allows you to look through the mages and look through their bonuses and art without switching mages in your main area. - Monster Popul
Patch Notes v0.0.2b - UI Update Changed and added to various parts of the UI. Most of the tabs from windows have been removed and made buttons on the main game screen to make them more convenient and quick to use and spend you currencies. You’ll see various other minor UI changes as well. Currencies on the main screen are now all on the right hand screen. Experience percent has moved to the bottom right hand corner. - Tutorials Various tutorials have been added to the game for windows and systems. Even if you already have the windows or systems you will still get the tutorials that you haven’t
Patch Notes v0.0.2a - Leaderboards Added – Leaderboards for Highest Stage reached have been added. You can find their window button in the bottom left hand corner. Tutorial/FAQ – Window Faction should now properly function. Arcanist (And other areas where bonus exp shows up) Now has a minimum of 10% EXP when awarding EXP. (This isn’t from enemies, just from the Arcanist rewards and bonus EXP drops like the bonus in Curse Eater, when you see it in Daily/Weekly quests etc). - Store Item – Potion Bundle: Now grants 50 Health Potions and Rage Potions. (up from 25 each) - Store Item – Time Displace
Patch Notes v0.0.2 - New PERMANENT System!: Window Factions – The majority of windows now have a bar at the bottom that represents the Window Faction. Using the window can increase your reputation with the window’s Faction and leveling up with them will grant you PERMANENT rewards that DO NOT RESET on Time Shift. Hovering over the bar at the bottom will give more specifics on exactly what you need to do in order to gain reputation with the Faction. -All windows will currently go to lvl 25. We'll raise this after we get the balancing tuned. Arcanist – Increases Arcane Scrap drop amounts per lev
