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.

First thing first, we're not abandoning Hero Tale. There is still an update with 11 more languages pending (we just got translations the night before), some bug fixes, quality of life updates and maybe a little balance.

First thing first, we want to thank you becasue WOW we did not expect so many people in the first week of Early Access on Steam! We can't even put into words how thankful we are!! When Hero Tale debuted on the Google Play Store almost 3 years ago, immense positive reception was quite shocking for two people who were giving their all to create the first version of the game.

It is still a little unbelievable that the team of two had the
