This small update fixes the modding/editing tools we broke with the previous patch.
Halfway is a turn-based strategy RPG taking place a few hundred years into the future. Humanity has started colonising new worlds. Until now, they were alone ...

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 small update fixes the modding/editing tools we broke with the previous patch.
Hey everyone, This is a very minor update. It makes sure you can play Halfway on the upcoming Steam Deck from Valve. Please note: This does not add full controller support. We added a default controller configuration that allows you to play the game out of the box with the build in Steam Deck controllers without having to fiddle with the settings. We are excited for the Steam Deck and wanted to make sure you can play our games without issues when you get your hands on one. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6331063/79e165877988be7a6bcc5bd5406bc73d566453d5.jpg Change list for 1.2.15 A few improvements and fixe
Version 1.2.14 This patch adds bitmap fonts and tutorial images to the list of files which can be replaced/overridden by game mods. This is first utilized for Halfway简体中文汉化MOD by Steam user Karnie, which translates the game to Simplified Chinese.
Indiana Jones-ish, Nazi-mashing tactical RPG Pathway is just over the horizon, launching next Thursday, April 11th. Developed by Robotality, it’s looking like a major step up over their debut tactics game Halfway. It appears to be a tantalising blend of FTL, Curious Expedition and cover-based, very XCOM squad combat – there’s exploration, bartering, party building and lots of RPG granularity, and five semi-procedural campaigns. It helps that it’s all wrapped in lush, well animated sprites and a very John Williams-inspired soundtrack. Check out the launch trailer below.
Version 1.2.13 This patch adds a new toggle, "Enable auto-scroll on user actions", to the controls options menu. If turned off, the game camera stops scrolling on player actions such as selecting or moving team members, or attacking enemy units.
Version 1.2.12 This patch updates the native launcher - the small executable we use to boot into the bundled Java runtime - to improve compatibility with some Windows 10 systems. It also removes 32-bit support from the launcher of the Mac OS version. In addition, we disabled the option to submit crash logs via HTTP request from within the crash report dialog.

Oh dear. All it takes is a screenshot of a rag-tag band of roguish heroes fighting Nazis out in some 1930s archaeological dig and I’m humming the sodding theme tune again. Pathway is the followup to XCOM-lite tactics game Halfway. Marsh Davies rather liked it in spite of its flaws back in 2014, so here’s hoping that developers Robotality (now being published under Chucklefish’s rapidly expanding indie umbrella) have taken a few notes over the past four years. Rather than continue building on Halfway’s sci-fi setting, Robotality are going back to a simpler time, when adv
