It has been a while, adventurers seeking glory. First of all, thank you for all your support in playing and having fun with Seed of Heroes. For that, we've never stopped working on the game and we're excited to announce an upcoming content update to Seed of Heroes, featuring new modes, new mechanics, new treasures, more lore to read, and a better experience to earn your place in Valhalla! We wanted Seed of Heroes to be more than just another bullet-heaven game, but something more, thus we're introducing these new modes for you all to try them out, free of charge in this upcoming update on June 7th!

New Mode: Swarm
Are you tired of forming a team just to not have enough damage to defeat a boss enemy in time? Are you frustrated with running into fences and rocks? The Swarm mode is here to alleviate you from all of that. In Swarm, you'll face an even larger horde of enemies without any bosses nor any obstacles in your way. They'll swarm you with their growing strength and numbers with the help of newly added mechanics to challenge your prowess. Survive the hordes if you can!

New Mode: Boss Arena
On the opposite side, are you bored of the small fries trying to pick a fight with you? Fret not, this mode is for you. In Boss Rush, mini-bosses and bosses will never leave you alone. Each time you defeat one boss, another replaces them immediately, and you'll be leveling up only through defeating them. Sometimes, two bosses will show up at the same time even! When the final boss of the mode is defeated, you'll earn your victory so in a sense, this is a time attack mode where you can show off your skills!

New Mode: Gatekeeper
Ever wanted to have your heroes separated around the battlefield, doing their thing and defeating enemies? Here's your chance to do so. In Gatekeeper, you'll fight along Heimdall, defending the gates of Bifrost from swarm of enemies. Their sole purpose is to enter the gates to invade other realms, so their attacks won't hurt much, but they are tough. You'll be able to strategically place your heroes anywhere on the limited battlefield, controlling one at a time and swap around to defend any sides from a rushing group of enemies. Hero defense in a bullet-heaven game? Gatekeeper is here to provide some fun.

So how do we unlock all these modes? As always, spending gems at the shop! If you've collected enough from before, you're sure to have enough to unlock them easily!

We have also adjusted a lot of progression experience and character status, buffing them up to a great contender where you should be able to have fun with every comp you can think of! We even add new treasures for you to have fun with (and rage when they show up instead of other treasures you might want).

We hope you'll find more use for some heroes you thought wasn't good enough before. And for the new treasures, we won't spoil the new treasures for your discovery experience, but it's something we think will make your experience better and more fun.

Again, thank you for your continuous support. We hope you're able to have fun with Seed of Heroes. Go forth, heroes, earn your place in Valhalla through your glorious battles!

And lastly... there's still more to come for Seed of Heroes in the future!

Hello everyone, how have your revels in the halls of Valhalla been? Have you been honing your skills in the endless battles or just preparing for the inevitable Ragnarok? For us, we've been working on the announced plans for months. Let us first preface that we will be updating Seed of Heroes at the end of April. Now let's move onto the exciting part and show you a glimpse of what's to come.

You can't be a true hero worthy of a seat in Valhalla if you can't fell great enemies of the realms. Which is why in this upcoming update, we're adding new end-game bosses into the game. They'll be mechanically different than what you've ever faced with special attack patterns ready to destroy your party of heroes.

Adventuring and proving yourselves can come in many forms. Traveling the realms and putting yourself in danger against great foes were are method you are used to, but in the upcoming update, we'll be adding a few more modes. While we aren't able to reveal them to you all yet, we can provide you a sneak peek at one of the bosses from the mode. Get ready to be swarmed. The enemies are ready to rush you down at the gates of Bifrost.

We are also updating the streamer mode in response to changes to Twitch's backend API. Twitch is changing their API and with that, the streamer mode will be unable to be used from April 14, 2025 until we update the game.

May your journeys and battles be fruitful and fun!

Dear our heroes! We are on the verge of glory with an upcoming update but for now, we're here to give you some short updates on it!

From day one, we've been receiving feedback about having a battle history or recap of some sort to view the previous runs. After much needed QoL updates, we were finally able to work on it and have almost finished.

As you can see from the image above, the recap will show everything that had happened during your run. This includes what events and encounters you've faced on your run, the DPS, the score, heroes joining your party, and many more information!

Here's a zoomed-in version of them! We hope you like what you see and that you can continue having fun with the game! See you in the glorious halls of Valhalla, heroes!

Dear our heroes! A new update to the realms have arrived to provide more QoL for you brave heroes! As always, we are aiming to continue updating the game to provide the best for our players and patch 1.0.6 is a reflection of that. Let's read the patch notes first.

- Added a new option, Visual Effects Opacity Adjustments. We've been hearing how difficult it is to notice enemies' attacks with how both sides' attacks' are covering the whole screen. This new option allow players to set the opacity of player-caused effects, from normal to near transparency level. We've also added an auto-adjustment option to lower the opacity the longer a player survive so they can taste the effects in full glory early game while making it easier later without ever needing to touch the options again. A seamless experience, no pausing needed at all!

- Added a new option, Damage Numbers Hiding. In the same vein of things covering the screens, damage numbers are a visual effects that sometimes make things confusing. With that, we've added an option to turn of either your damage numbers or enemy damage numbers. This should make the screen much cleaner and we believe you heroes doesn't need them to know if your enemies are getting hurt or not. Everything's 50/50, either they die or they don't from your attacks.

- Added treasure pool information. We've heard that treasures and levels are quite confusing and after much discussion, we've added a way to easily identify all the treasures currently available in the pool during a level up. It will also tell you heroes when a new treasure has entered the pool, the current level of each treasure you have at a glance, if a treasure is still locked, and the last chance to pick something up before you go over the level!

- Reconfigured the save system to provide more stability to save files as well as auto backing up your saves. We've tried to fix a bug that might result in players unable to play the game, enemies not moving and saves not saving. After that bug was addressed, we looked to bugproof our systems of it just in case and have arrived at the new save system that could backup your save files. If anyone is effected by the aforementioned bug and lost their progress, feel free to e-mail us or our publisher's support site to obtain a near complete save file.

- We have forgot to add that the new update reduces the amount of stage obstacles on lower difficulties as well.

We hope you continue having fun with the game! See you in the glorious halls of Valhalla, heroes!

Hello everyone! Today, we'd like to announce some future plans for Seed of Heroes! You might've thought your trials have ended as you reveled in Valhalla, haven't you? Fear not, it's just the beginning, just a glimpse into the oncoming glorious battles that you'll enjoy for eternity!

First things first, we will be having a major update in the unknown future. We do not know yet when it'll be, but our team is working their hardest to finish it as soon as possible. We won't be quiet about it and will try our best to update you heroes on its progress when we're able to.

So, what's to come in the so-called Major update?

• New Bosses and boss mechanics. We'd like to add some more bosses to make every run a better experience where you can face off against more unique bosses with their attack patterns. We're also making some more mechanics to help players face off against bosses and have more fun with them.
  
• New mode. We'd like to call the current mode a survival mode and add something new where players can try to test their skills called the boss battle mode. There will be a really strong boss at the start of the run that grows with you and attacks you at intervals. When you are able to defeat it, the run ends.
  
• More enhancement features and updated old ones. We think there's various more enhancements we'd like to add into the game such as upgraded formations that provide buffs in accordance with each formation itself.
  
• New treasures. As of the current game, most treasures are attack treasures that provide different kinds of attacks so we're thinking, let's add more utility treasures to help the run be smoother!
  
• New encounters. While each realm has their own encounters, we do think we can add a few more general encounters to spice things up in every realm.
  
• Realm Records. We've received requests to add a run record where players can go back to research upon their old runs, see what treasures they've picked up or which heroes were in the party at the time. We agreed it's a good system to have so we'll add them to the game.

Aside from that, we're also announcing that we're working on an expansion to the game, tentatively named Gods of Asgard for now.

This expansion will feature bosses of extreme power, the gods themselves, visiting the realms and testing your mettle. Their arrival will change the realms' landscapes, and we guarantee you will have a fun time battling against their powers.

Stay tuned for more news regarding both the major update and the expansion! We hope your battles are fulfilling and fun!

Hello Heroes!

An issue has been reported for both the demo and full game where suddenly it's no longer possible to gain experience points and level up. This appears to be an issue with Steam Cloud which will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

In the meanwhile, here are some instructions on how to deal with this issue should it come up:

1. Go to Steam Settings in your Steam client, click on Cloud and turn off Enable Steam Cloud
   
2. Go to C:\Users\[WINDOWSUSERNAME]\AppData\Local\HeroesProject\Saved\SaveGames and delete everything inside the folder
   
3. Start the game once more which will create a new save data file
   
4. Go back to Steam Settings and reenable Steam Cloud so that the old save data is replaced with the new one

We understand that it is frustrating to lose progress like this so if necessary, users can hit our support desk at https://support.sekaiproject.com/ to request a near complete save data file.

Thank you as always for your continued support and godspeed on your heroic journey to Valhalla.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth these past two days of the event! It's been fun answering your questions and hearing your woes about the runs you almost perfected but accidentally misplayed and got swarmed by enemies with nowhere to escape.

We even got free stickers and postcards people can just freely take at the booth available. It's fun to see you guys come in to grab some of them then catch the chaos of the game and asked us what's happening on the screen.

We'd also like to share some of the things we've answered during the event right here.

Will there be any updates to the game after this since it's a full release?
Yes, we are planning more updates to the game to expand its experience. The trials have not ended. A major update is being worked on at the moment.

When are you putting the game on consoles?
As soon as possible on every possible console we can get our hands on.

Are there any plans for systems to sink our gems? I've got millions now.
Yes, it'll be revealed in a milestone reveal post later when everything is finalized.

Is the Ragnarok after minute 30 the real Ragnarok?
We'd like you to think that it's just the beginning and a glimpse of the coming world-ending battle.

That shall be all that we can reveal today! the event will continue for two more days so if you're in the area, please visit our booth! Thank you very much!

Hello Heroes! We'd like to announce another update before we head to the Tokyo Game Show 2024 event in the coming week! We're extremely excited to meet you all and listen to your feedback about the game directly so if you're in the area, please visit our booth. However, let's talk about the small updates today.

• Added an option to turn off Camera Shake
  
• Adjusted Streamer Mode's enemies to be even stronger on higher tiers and use special attacks. We heard both streamers and viewers wanted them strong, and we thought, why deny a fun change?

That will be all for this update! Hope to see you at the event and have fun with Seed of Heroes!

Hello heroes, we'd like to announce another update, this time featuring some of the more difficult changes that we were unable to do yesterday. We are adding an obstacle indicator option (ON by default) that will highlight any and all obstacle you cannot walk through when you get near them (so as to not clutter the game with more visual effects outside of dangerous range). This should significantly make traveling the realms easier but you can always turn it off in the options. Aside from that here are other small changes:

• Most Heroes with [CAST] tag are buffed by approximately 15%.
  
• Fixed some localization bugs
  
• Adjusted Streamer Mode's cheered enemies' HP, allowing viewers to send in a healthier enemy into the battlefield. Viewers should now be able to see their message and enemies for longer period of time... and might even threaten the Streamer with this change so Streaming heroes, please set your options accordingly!
  
• Increased the DEF percentage appearing on treasures.
  
• Buffed early-game reward treasures from bosses.

As always, thank you very much for showing interest in our game and providing us valuable feedback. We hope you have fun with Seed of Heroes!
