Update 1.2

New additions

Added more information to the level completed screen.
Added an aim indicator when using the bow.
- The aim indicator is off by default on PC and on by default on mobile.
- It can be toggled on and off in the game options.

Main changes

Picking up the map or the spectral key from a chest now plays a sound.

- Previously, it was possible for the camera animation to play without the lava level actually changing.
- The level will now change every time the lever is flipped.

Fire traps now emit less light (and should be less laggy on low-end devices).

29 Jan

Patch 1.1.4

Fixes:

Fixed the bichromatic clothing flipping colors when pushing a crate.

Changes:

If you enter the Sanctuary in the hinterland from the secret passage in the Temple of the Earth you will now get an extra key. This was done because previously, if you opened the last door before any other door, it would have become impossible to open one of the doors, thus preventing you from finding all chests.

Update 1.1

Additions and changes

Maps and compasses

Due to popular request, maps and compasses will now be preserved after completing a level.
If you update your current save file, the game will consider that you already have a map and a compass in levels where you have found all chests.

Health system

Traps, such as spikes and arrows, now deal 5 points of damage to enemies instead of 1.
Bombs now deal 5 hearts of damage to the player instead of 10.
Bombs now deal 25 points of damage to enemies instead of 10.

Behaviour of enemies

When an enemy runs into a wall while the player is not in their line of sight, the will now stop chasing. This was done to prevent enemies from camping stairs.

Checkpoints system

Significantly increased the number of checkpoints in every level.
The game now shows an icon when a checkpoint is activated. This was added to let players know what has been saved.

Skins

The price of most skins has been reduced.
Added two new skins.

Other changes

The Ancient Library has been almost completely redone.
Camera animations are now based on distance instead of time. This means they should generally be smoother.

Fixes

Fixed a spot in the cave of lights where it was possible to get stuck.
Fixed a bug that would cause the spacetime fabric to tear on very rare occasions.
Fixed a bug that caused less bugs to appear.

Addressing other feedback from the community

There is currently no plan to have an official Discord server. The previous server had to be deleted because it was being stormed by bots and scammers. Out of about 100 accounts who joined, only about 10 were controlled by real people. If the community wants to create an unofficial Discord server, they can, but as the only developer I don't want to be responsible for it.
There is currently no plan for a console release. Console releases would slow down the development time quite significantly, delaying bug fixes and implementation of community feedback, and considering how the game was received at launch, this was the right decision.

Thank you for listening!

I want to thank everyone for playing Ancient Mind! The launch went way beyond my expectations and I'm thrilled that so many people were interested.
