Content Update and Soundtrack Release

THE LONGING

An unusual mix of adventure and idle game. In utter loneliness deep below the surface, it's your task to wait for the awakening of your king... for 400 days.

Dear players, I am quite impressed with the reception of the game so far. When I started it in my cave back in 2014, I made it just for myself. But it's quite heartwarming to see so many people enjoying the game for what it is. As a result, I got motivated to add some more stuff in, so I decided to work on some of the things I abandoned before release. You can consider these (early) [b]"Easter eggs"[/b]. With this update, which should download automatically, there are finally enough [b]books[/b] in the game to [b]fill the shelves entirely[/b]. They will appear throughout the caves after enough time has passed. Most are not that hard to find. There are some new [b]items[/b] to put in your home: for example, you can learn to weave [b]carpets made out of moss[/b]. The other things will be left to you to find out. Of course, the update also includes several bug fixes (and probably new bugs as well...). For example, the [b]flipping of crystals[/b] is finally saved correctly. Also achievements should now hopefully work on all Macs. Regarding the translation of books, we are still working on a neat [b]Steam Workshop integration[/b], where you can download/upload translations or new texts in your native languages and replace the ones in the game with them. This should be done hopefully sometime this month. Oh, and we have finally managed to [b]release the soundtrack[/b]! It features original tracks made by Lord Redstone for the game and various old tracks by other [b]dungeon synth[/b] artists, such as Vindkaldr, Erang, Spectral Kingdom, Erdstall and Dungeontroll: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1275730/THE_LONGING__Soundtrack/]https://store.steampowered.com/app/1275730/THE_LONGING__Soundtrack/[/url] Greetings from isolation, Anselm [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33396686/dd3b23c33fcdfbf9343debe7f1c1a2e6bcd01ecd.png[/img] PS: If you have finished the game already and want to jump back in to find the easter-eggs, there is most likely a way to restore your old save. I will give instructions for this via email: anselm.pyta@studioseufz.com
