The Artisan of Glimmith

Esteemed Artisans, Another patch for The Artisan of Glimmith is now live. Our goals In this update, our goal was to address the most important technical and gameplay problems that were impacting players. Earlier this summer, we went through every bug report and every Steam review of the game (including many positive ones that nonetheless contained constructive feedback). From these, we produced a list of changes that we could feasibly make and identified those that would be the most impactful. This update contains a number of improvements reflecting those priorities. While there aren't any new

This is a minor patch consisting mainly of bugfixes, localization updates, editor improvements, and a few small puzzle edits. Below are the changes: Updated the difficulty numbers in several puzzles to better reflect their perceived difficulty. Added additional clues to an endgame puzzle whose first steps were more difficult than intended. Fixed an issue where compiler optimization settings were misconfigured. This may result in a minor performance boost for some players (likely only noticeable to players who were CPU bound). Changed the wording of the Solitude rule explanation to make it more

So we've pushed a patch this afternoon. The changes are pretty simple: Fixed a dumb bug that caused the game to use 200MB more video memory than it should Made further optimizations to save another ~100MB of video memory But the dumb bug has a really funny story. The Investigation It started yesterday when, after the patch, we got a few reports of crashes. Usually this means the patch has a programming error that needs to be fixed, but the reports were quite sparse (we only ended up getting around 7 of them in 24 hours). And when we looked further, the crashes were... weird. Normally if the cr

Dearest Esteemed Artisan, At long last, I welcome you to Glimmith. Our stained glass artworks have long stood in ruin, and I am most pleased that they are in your capable hands to restore. I have studied these works very closely. Though I understand their design, I cannot seem to put them back together myself. So, I have left you a number of notes... rules, if you will... to aid in your efforts. If you are reading this letter, the airship already awaits you. When you reach Glimmith, I ask that you keep the following in mind: You will find my notes scattered throughout the kingdom. There are ov
