Hello Vikings!

We were planning to update with the Halloween event in a couple weeks but then we thought… why wait?
So let us introduce the Spooky Season to Nordic Ashes! This event will last from October 4th until November 3rd.
In addition to last year’s spooky Midgard, this year you will also be able to play Helheim (if it wasn’t eerie enough lol). Both realms will be decorated in a spooky way and enemies will have ghostly costumes. (You will be able to see what Hel looks like beneath her mask!).

This year’s skin will belong to Blud! Just win a run on Helheim using Blud to unlock it. And no worries, as after the event you will still be able to get it.

Spooky themed relics will make an appearance again, we’ve added a new one so there will be a total of 5 relics.

Please notice that themed relics will appear more often than regular ones.
On that note, you may disable the Halloween event on the Settings panel if you prefer to play regular runs.


Thanks so much for reporting all the following issues! We will keep an eye on your feedback :D

• Odin's ravens now disappear when switching to the Dark phase
  
• Lorcan’s Ultimate ability could crash the game, now it’s fixed
  
• Lorcan skins had the wrong sounds
  
• Lorcan card sounds improved
  
• Lorcan’s cards could appear behind objects
  
• Lorcan's summons were not having their alpha applied
  
• Small texts fixes
  
• Ascended Brok's Bazooka manual aiming was not working properly
  
• The discord button could be changed to the enter button, which could cause it to continually open.

We hope you enjoy this season, we had a ton of fun designing everything.
Cheers!

Hello vikings!
At last, the day has come… new character is joining ranks!

Let’s welcome Lorcan, master of Luck! Lorcan the Conqueror, Lorcan founder of Lorcanism, Lorcan master of Dice… well, he may be a BIT narcissist. Just a tiny bit.
However, he won't show up until you reach Vanaheim.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***
If you didn't guess how to unlock Lorcan here is the answer:
He's quite fond of himself and loves it when people look up to him. Select Lorcan in the character selection panel and wait for 25 seconds to unlock him.
Lorcan’s will be introducing Luck to Nordic Ashes.

Luck will determine if abilities based on % can have an extra roll. For example, if an effect would occur with 15% chance and it doesn't, with 1 Luck point you will gain an extra roll of 15% chance and therefore that effect will be more likely to occur.

Obviously, Lorcan will be Luck boosted so probabilities happen more often.
Relics affected by luck will have a clover icon next to them.

And of course, don't forget to check Lorcan's skins too!

This Lucky Clover will be your best friend when related to luck. You may unlock this relic thanks to Lorcan.

When used, you will get 1 extra Luck Point temporarily.

10 new kinds of challenges have been added. You will find new Blessings that will boost your runs.
We've also imporoved some of the existing challenges so they are more fun.


We know many of you had some leaves left that wouldn't fit anywhere. With the addition of Lorcan, more leaves will be generated. To solve this issue, we've added a few new levels to existing perks such as crit. damage, movement speed, etc. A total of 120 new leaves to add to Yggdrasil!

• Some curses would make you inflict negative damage and this could break the game. Minimum damage you will now inflict is 1.
  
• The Burden of Greed Curse will now reduce damage by 2.5% for each relic you own instead of 5%
  
• Some shrines could appear on top of you.
  
• Stats appearing on the left side of the screen have been reordered so they fit better on screen.
  
• Odin’s ravens could, in some cases, appear on Odin’s second phase.
  
• Dutch translations updated.
  
• Czech translations updated.

On October we will be releasing a new Halloween update. This time Helheim will join Midgard with spooky decorations, both on the realm and on monsters.
Halloween weapons will return and a one of the characters will get a new skin. Can you guess who?
We couldn't resist posting Malurt the Moth Queen on her Halloween costume. She looks much nicer this way.

Nordic Ashes will be having a 2-week sale with 25% off!

We will be reading all your messages, suggestions and reports. Cheers! ːNA_Gnokiː

Hello vikings!
Today we have 2 new announcements.

First of all, the definitive edition of the digital artbook has been updated!

You will find KAOS and Unn as an addition to the already existing characters, so all 1.0 release content is included. Further characters, relics or maps won't make an appereance. This means the artbook is now complete and you will be able to enjoy it to its maximum potential. If you already got it, you may re download once again it so have the full version.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2952100/Nordic_Ashes_Digital_Artbook/

Second announcement, new character coming next week!

Yes!! Lorcan will be landing very soon and will provide tons of hours of fun. We will be introducing a new mechanic: Luck!

Luck will determine if abilities based on % can have an extra roll. For example, if an effect would occur with 15% chance and it doesn't, with 1 Luck point you will gain an extra roll of 15% chance and therefore that effect will be more likely to occur.
Obviously, Lorcan will be Luck boosted so probabilities happen more often.
We will see you next week!

Hello vikings!
After this summer break we’re filled with energy and ready to work on Nordic Ashes once again!
As always, we’d like to share our roadmap with you, so everyone knows what to expect and when.

• August: Today’s update will be related to fixes and bugs you reported during last month.
  
• September: New character! Because that’s the best way to begin a new development, right?
  
• October: Halloween Festival, which will include a new spooky character skin, decorations for one of the realms (in addition to Midgard) and seasonal relics.
  
• November: Nordic Ashes DLC! More info in the future, but we’re sure you’re gonna love the new ideas we have planned!
  
• December: Winter Festival, which will include a new winter character skin, decorations for one of the realms (in addition to Jotunheim) and seasonal relics.
  
• 2025: Console release + more stuff to be revealed :D

We hope you’re as excited as we are about all these news! ːNA_Crystalː

And now, the fixes and improvements:

• In some cases, KAOS wouldn’t show new options if you had banned all the remaining relics.
  
• Skull Staff stopped throwing projectiles in some cases.
  
• Revna’s sprite was appearing flipped when flying to the left.
  
• You could step out of Gnöki’s realm boundaries when dashing in some places.
  
• Sounds were not playing in some Linux versions. This new update should fix that issue.
  
• When M.I.S.S.I.N.G. had Talkôr’s passive, coins were not stacking properly. Now they work just as Talkôr’s do.
  
• Translation improvements: German, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.
  
• Performance improvements.
  
• On Daily Challenges, on Gnöki’s realm, the unexpected visitor (random character) would not be the same for everyone or would provide different relics. All players should now have the same display.

Enjoy 20% off as a second summer sale. Available for the next 14 days.

Hello vikings!

To celebrate Steam’s Summer Fest we decided to brighten up (even more) Vanaheim and turn it into a beach party!

From today until July 15th you’ll be able to play Summer in Vanaheim. This will not change playability, as it will be summer cosmetic skin.

Winter event was so much fun and this time of the year is perfect to add some new seasonal relics!

Please notice that themed relics will appear more often than regular ones.
On that note, you may disable the Summer event on the Settings panel if you prefer to play regular runs.

First of all, let us introduce Unn’s Summer Fest skin: the Fire skin. Win one run in Vanaheim while this event lasts to unlock her forever. If you don’t get the chance during this time frame, don’t worry, as a new requirement will be set so you can get it.

Second, you will now be able to grab Unn’s Golden attire in the Daily challenge shop. We hope you enjoy this one too!

We can't believe we forgot to post Unn's wallpaper last time, sorry! Here it is!

Thanks so much for all the people who already supported this campaign. Gnöki will become a reality in no time, so thanks, we can’t wait for you to have your own at home. ːNA_Gnokiː
You can grab your own here.[www.makeship.com]

• After completing a cycle on Nigthmare mode, projectiles or summons from some relics could be lost.
  
• Some relics would generate a wrong amount of projectiles or summons.
  
• You could spend mastery points on the character’s Innate ability in their Mastery tree, which should be for free.
  
• Translations updated.

We will be taking a few weeks off to rest all the new ideas we have in mind for future DLCs. However, we will still be keeping an eye on the game and fixing any issues that may show up.
Wish you a nice summer! ːNA_Crystalː

Cheers!

Hello vikings!
It’s been over a month since 1.0 release and wow, we’ve enjoyed every single moment of it!
Today we have really exciting news:

• New character: Unn
  
• New skins for KAOS and
  
• Gnöki plush ːNA_Gnokiː now available[www.makeship.com]!

So let’s go one by one:

New character is here! Meet Unn. She’s a very particular survivor. With only 1 white health heart, and unable to heal using potions, this will be a one-shot challenge. But no worries, as you will be able to take advantage of revive upgrades, shields and her own Mastery tree enhancements.
For Unn to appear in the character selection screen, you must reach Helheim first.
You will also find a Gorgon skin for her!

3 new skins for our dear KAOS, including Hooded KAOS, Genie skin and Golden Attire.

• Accesibility feature: "Move with mouse" utility now allows you to dash with the mouse, open the constellation, upgrade abilities, etc... only using the mouse.
  
• Dash wasn't properly working while using the "Move with mouse" utility. The dash now works using the right click while you move.
  
• Fixed a bug related to potions bought in Gnöki's shop.
  
• Minor correction related to Masteries' XP obtention.
  
• Russian translation improved.
  
• Minor corrections related to texts.

It’s finally here!! After last plush campaign, a new Gnöki plushie has been heavily requested on emails, private messages, etc. so here it is! Holding an Ascension Crystal so you’re always ready to ascend :D

We’ve partnered with Makeship[www.makeship.com] once again to make this project possible.
You can grab it here: Crystal-Keeper Gnöki Plush[www.makeship.com].

Campaign will be live for three weeks.

We just received the sample plushie this week, and it looks OP!

Steam Summer Event will take place from June 27th to July 11th so we will be creating a Summer Event on Nordic Ashes too!
Expect one of the realms dressed in a very summery way, Unn’s summer skin (and Golden one too!) plus a few event relics!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers! ːNA_Gnokiː
