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.

Manage an adventuring academy in Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story, out now

I’ve always had a soft spot for ambitious genre mash-ups, and Agate’s Valthirian Arc: Hero School – released today – aims high, asking players to both manage a hero training facility and lead its students in real-time RPG combat. There’s campus buildings to be placed, gear to be crafted, students to be nurtured and dragons to be slain all while balancing the books and even engaging in a little politics. If it didn’t look so adorable, it’d be almost intimidating. Take a peek at the game in action in the launch trailer below, plus a (rather old) demo. (
