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.

Hi Folks. We're excited to announce that we have permanently dropped the price for The Qaedon Wars - The Story Begins. We decided to do this as the game is more than two years old now and to make it more in sync with our latest game The Curse of Feldar Vale. Even better, we are also pleased to launch our new Franchise Bundle where you can pick up both titles with a permanent discount. Thanks to all who have supported us over the past few years. Watch out for further titles in 'The Curse' series and a bigger bundle offering in 2022. All the best. Ian & Jann

Hi All. Great News!! The demo for The Curse of Feldar Vale is live and available for download on Steam. You can download it here. The demo allows you to create a party and play a few turns of the first location Darrett's Farm. The action starts immediately, so it won't be long before you're smiting or blasting enemies on the battlefield. As always, if you have any questions or just want to know about features/gameplay, please start a thread on the Community Forum and we will do our best to respond. Cheers and Stay Safe!

Using a modified (and we hope improved) version of the Qaedon engine, The Curse will be more RPG-centric than the previous title and you will run a party of 4-6 characters. We're aiming for a release on March 25th next year and you can wishlist it here. If you have any questions or just want to know about the game play, please start a discussion on The Curse's community hub and we'll do our best to help you. Stay Safe and All the Best. Ian & Jann

Hi Folks. Version 1.008 is now live which changes costs for ability upgrades and unit attributes. Update: Reduced costs of Ability upgrades to make them more accessible. Update: Reduced the costs of numerous attributes (e.g. Evasion, Scouting, all Resist Magics) to make them more balanced. Please let us know if you have any problems with the changes. We had hoped to include a change to add a keyboard shortcut to close open dialogs but unfortunately this proved a tad more tricky than we thought. Hopefully we can include this in the next update. If we don't post again in the near future, Season'

Hi All. We have just released Version 1.004 which includes a couple of Community requested new features. We have made significant improvements to the Army Management screen. The 'Bank' will now be included on the 'Inventory' page for each unit so that items can be transferred directly between the two. With this change, a unit can now be equipped directly from the bank and items compared (via tooltips) to see which are the best fit. Units can be cycled through ('Previous Unit', 'Next Unit' buttons) to rapidly equip/unequip, change spell books etc. rather than having to return to the main page e
