Sunderfolk Update #4 - 1.4.1 Hotfix Notes

29 Jul

Hello Guardians!

We’ve been hard at work on fixing disconnection issues that have been affecting some Sunderfolk players, and we’re excited to have a fix for our Guardians.

Hotfix 1.4.1

Fixed an issue where some players would experience frequent disconnections between the Sunderfolk main screen and phone controller app.
- This particular issue was caused by some firewalls dropping a required server connection due to limited network activity over the connection. This disconnect would most likely have been experienced while playing remotely over the Internet. The game now handles this situation better.

Please note, this hotfix may not prevent every possible network disconnection issue, and we always appreciate your feedback and reports for finding and squashing bugs.

Thank you!

The Sunderfolk Team

This game looks conceptually fun, but the interface is 100% a barrier to me even considering a purchase

I was playing the trial remote while my brother in another state hosted. There's some latency... maybe 100ms, but I don't really think that's even the problem as much as the fact that just trying to control a cursor over to a remote screen where you have to *click and drag on a touchscreen* is conceptually stupid. And I feel like it's really unnecessary because you all could have just made the client use HTML5 or something and designed around both both touch screen and mouse controls, and let us connect vi...

Sunderfolk Update #3 - 1.4 Patch Notes & Summary

15 Jul

We discovered that you can, in fact, make a salad too powerful. Image credit to Discord user SilentBob4207.

Hey Guardians!

You’ve spoken, and we’ve heard! We’ve been collecting your feedback and seeing where Sunderfolk shines and where it needs polish.

This latest patch focuses on some popular community requests, as well as an expressive new feature.😁

What’s New / Priority Fixes in Sunderfolk

Now introducing: Emotes

Players can now use Sunderfolk emotes with customizable text during combat and in-town.

Just click the Smile icon and go nuts! This will appear in town and during missions!

Renameable Player Prompts
- Were you too much of a loremaster [www.penny-arcade.com]and now you have to show your campaign to your family? We’ve got your back! Players can now rename the in-game prompts through the Shared Settings menu.

Name/Rename Your Campaign

Players will now be able to name their campaign party as part of the Hero Select process, which will be used as the Save File name.
Players may change their party name later via the Shared Settings menu.
- For players already in existing campaigns, you can create a new name for your party through Settings -> Shared Settings -> Campaign Rename.

Adjusted Boss Difficulty for Challenging/Shadowstone

Boss monsters now receive a +1 damage buff like other monsters, instead of the unique +2 damage buff previously used.

Nerfed the Salad

The Tangleroot Salad has been adjusted to prevent excessive creation of Vines.
The flavor text description for Tangleroot Salad has been updated.

General Bugs & Issues Fixes

Encounters

Fixed an issue where the Ogre Queen would not take damage at the start of her turn if on a lava hex while Stunned.

Characters

Fixed an issue where Heroes will no longer gain an extra level when re-adding Heroes that had been previously dropped.
Adjusted the tooltip information for Berserker’s Rage ability to show the correct information.

Equipment

Fixed an issue where players that joined mid-campaign did not gain the appropriate Fate Cards from the hero level-up rewards.
Fate Card Adjustment: Executes with enemies under 5 HP now work with area-of-effect and Ranged attacks.
Donated Trinkets will now prioritize being pulled from the player’s inventory before their equipment slots when donating at the Bug Pens.
Fixed an issue where if multiple players attempted to donate Trinkets at the Bug Pens at the same time, only one user would be able to donate Trinkets.

NPC Conversations

Adjusted several incorrect NPC conversations in town.

New players who join an ongoing campaign will no longer be able to speak with Evelyn indefinitely.
Town upgrades are now accurately displayed in the Bug Pens menu when multiple upgrades are made in a row.
Fixed an issue where a conversation with Tuya would not disappear from the Tavern location and can be seen multiple times, locking out further conversations with other NPCs.
(This section contains story spoilers! Read at your own risk) Fixed an issue where conversations with the Rabbits after the Sundership Down quest failed to appear after completing it.

Don’t worry, if you don’t see something you’d like, continue leaving feedback! The best places are on our socials and on our Discord server.

Thanks for playing, and we’ll see you in Arden.

$50 for an experimental game is a bit high

I was willing to roll the dice on this (pun intended) at about $30; however, $50 is too lofty of an entry point. For a game that the makers themselves admit is a very different/experimental approach to "board games", $50 is a big ask. A demo would go a long way in helping to convince me (and others) to invest in the game. I'll leave it on my Wishlist, but that's generally the place where games I'm interested in go to die until there's a deep discount....

Jaffer!

I'll get to the game itself in a moment, but you may be interested to know that I've been playing Sunderfolk with a group of friends through Discord voice calls and it's worked pretty well. There have been a couple times we've had to fuss with somebody disconnecting and needing to reconnect, but the game hasn't had any performance issues in our remote sessions in spite of everyone being hundreds of miles away from each other. The controls, though finicky at times in their own right, don't suffer from laggy inputs or other technical issues that detract from our experience playing the game. We play for around 3 hours per session and can generally get through a chapter in that amount of time.

Sunderfolk's gameplay is solid. The prologue does a nice job of bringing players along slowly with its interface and language, gradually adding some (but not too much) complexity to missions and combat over the course of the game. All of the characters have strong combat identities and pretty much play the way you would expect if you're familiar with the fantasy classes they're based on.

Our group is experienced with TTRPGs (although this is our first game together) and we're playing on the Balanced difficulty. We have certainly overextended ourselves on a few occasions and needed a couple attempts for missions at the end of chapters, but we can play pretty loose and generally find ways out of tough situations. The combat mechanics don't get particularly complex, but they don't need to be for the missions to stay fresh and interesting. The variety of mission styles keeps everything feeling fresh and forces you to think about the board and your character's build in different ways.

The town maintenance between the missions gives Sunderfolk a nice rhythm. Everyone gets an opportunity to build relationships with the townsfolk and customize their character on their own, while also working together to provide necessary resources to upgrade the town's various services. Everything can be done at everyone's own pace, which builds in a convenient time for breaks where nobody is missing the action at regular intervals.

Overall, the most important thing this game brings to the table is the gameplay experience the marketing focuses on. Sunderfolk draws on tried and true standards of the fantasy genre and video game RPGs to create a really good game, even if the game doesn't do much to push those boundaries. If someone was looking at this game wondering if it could be their next single-player tactical RPG, I'd say they could definitely have a good time, but I don't know that it would be a particularly memorable experience on its own that way.

The real reason to get this game is to have a regular game night with a few friends/family as a light tabletop RPG experience, whether you're trying to introduce folks to TTRPGs (or gaming in general), testing the water with a new group to see if you might gel together, or you already play a tabletop game together but you need a stand-in while your GM takes a break from running your regular game. I'm personally not aware of any games that bring this combination of ease of use and quality to the table (or your living room tv or discord server, more accurately) if that is what you're looking for. Moreover, I hope to see more from this studio building on this infrastructure, whether it's within Sunderfolk or in future projects down the road.

Lots of fun with friends, occasionally difficult to be precise with the touch screen controls.

Lots of fun, hope the devs can add in some kind of support for players to create additional content like mods in the future!

Worst of both worlds

if you want to make a mobile game make one, if you want to make a PC game make one but this is the worst of both. Its a mobile game that requires a PC and a PC game that requires a mobile device. Why on earth wouldn't you just make an option for either of the inputs instead of requiring a secondary install for everyone. I've played digital gloomhaven with friends on the TV and it worked fine with keyboard and mouse. This seems so awkward and silly to just not offer options. Good luck i guess....
