It was brought to our attention that the game is unplayable on ultrawide resolutions. We've worked on fixing this and we also found a very rare save bug (that is gone now). Enjoy!

Unfortunately we haven’t been able to save your old save files (sorry). Patch Update Major Fixes The major bug causing the majority of the saving errors has been fixed. Fixed the bug that blocked players from upgrading expertise buildings. Fixed a bug that caused followers not to be able to mine mines. The water consumption has been balanced so that it will be much harder to get desert islands. Bugs Fixed issue with completing achievements. Fixed the issue that caused mini map clips to be skipped. Visual bugs for Mac has been fixed. Fixed the issue with UI elements being triggered by hotkeys while being in menu or saving. Fixed the camera so it doesn’t forget the last position when switching between scenes. The bug causing animations for all living things in the game get stuck in one short loop has been fixed. Re-connect to Twitch is now working. A bug causing the prompt “Write a commandment!” to get stuck has been fixed. A bug causing the word “socialise” not to raise social need is now fixed And other smaller bug fixes. Other Performance fixes. Added new Steam achievements. Teachings that were almost impossible to complete has been balanced to be easier. A follower can no longer die of starvation if the city has plenty of food unless they are starving themselves due to commandments or interpretations. Condemn is now more effective. If the player clicks on a city nameplate it now opens the city UI window. Added a popup that tells the player if a save or load error has occurred. Faith meter in World Overview UI window is added. A new speech bubble has been added that shows the player when a follower is following an interpreted commandment. The misfortune: “Dry rivers” do not happen as frequently anymore. And other smaller improvements. Moving On The game is now complete, there will be no major updates to the game. The reason is that the game has sold a lot less than we would need to make the development cost back. We have sold around 14 000 copies since we entered Early Access back in 2015, we would need to sell around 50 000 copies to even make back the development cost. Compared to how much games on Steam sell in general we did better! But that's because the average is 2000 copies, which no one can live on. The relaunch in December, 2018 was our way to fix the game, since we think you, our fans, deserved a better game. But it was also an attempt to make Crest more appealing and get a second life and sell more. If the game would've sold better we could've continued with updates. But the relaunch didn't give us huge numbers to encourage more development time. So it's a simple answer, we didn't earn a lot of money and working more on the game would only drive us into bankruptcy, we have to eat too. :) Next Thing: Among Ripples 2 ...Lunar Sale and New Patch IncomingFeb 5, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone! We're part of the Lunar Sale so you can grab the game cheaper for the next week, tell your friends, or give them a copy. ;) The new patch arrives on the 13th February, we've made good progress and think the next update will arrive on time! https://store.steampowered.com/app/341710/Crest__an_indirect_god_sim/ Stay tuned!Patch Postponed to 13th FebruaryJan 30, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello all, Some of the bugs you found was trickier to fix than we thought, we have to spend 2 more weeks on the problem. We apologise for the delay, but we felt we'd rather give you a definitive patch instead of a few small ones. Back From Vacation - January Patch IncomingJan 10, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, We're back! We're now working on our patch that will fix the major issues found after the relaunch was launched, it will be online in the end of the month.

Crest is also on the Winter sale during this time, so tell your friends, and leave a good review if you like it. ;) https://store.steampowered.com/app/341710/Crest__an_indirect_god_sim/ Hotfix Bug fixes: Fixed issue with followers not migrating to the coast. Fixed harbours not appearing for some cities close to coasts. Fixed diplomats not spawning when cities should create alliances. Fixed tooltips showing wrong texts in the main options menu. Fixed a non-working Steam achievement. Fixed issue with Expertise buildings not being able to upgrade, resulting in max 4 city districts. Other: The word ‘Socialize’ is unlockable earlier in Book of Learning. If you choose to terraform, you will no longer be spammed with Bulletin Messages. You can no longer open the Word Tablet and the Wisdom Tablet when your legacy has ended. Longer time between tutorial nudges. UI polish Known Issues Changelog line breaks are a bit “off”. Twitch integration reconnect not working. Interpretation bulletin message calling it “association” Graveyard visual issues with certain history events. Insatiable hunger animal effect does not disappear sometimes. Some UI elements can be accessed after the game has ended. Sometimes, creating commandments in loaded games can cause them to be free of cost and the Word Tablet is not cleared after proclaiming them. In rare cases, saves won’t work. For some, the Mini-Cinematics doesn’t work in the minimap. Sometimes, in loaded games, the animations for followers and animals won’t play correctly. You can't give up and quit in the underworld. Saving during the tutorial will corrupt your save file. Spelling errors --- See you all in 2019, thanks for the support.

Relaunch is Live!Dec 13, 2018 - Community Announcementshttps://i.imgur.com/rHQXPG9.gif Hello everyone, the relaunch is live at last! Thank you for your continued support, your patience and help with the public test builds. The biggest and most significant changes since the game’s initial launch have been in the making for 8 months now! You will find features such as all new gameplay mechanics, increased emergent storytelling, a new progression system, better feedback overall and updated visuals and much more. If you have played the game before your saves will be overwritten, the changes are too big to keep them, we apologise for this. During the coming week we will be ready to issue hotfixes for any critical bugs and during January we will iron out less bothersome problems. The more bug reports we get in the better. And if you like the game please write us a positive review, thank you. Enjoy the relaunch. :) //Martin & ECS Team https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQVrnizcdQU Version 1.8 - 13th December, 2018 New Features • Teachings are various tasks that awards Wisdom Points. • The Book of Learning is a tech tree that allows for an individual playstyle. Spend Wisdom Points gathered from completing Teachings to unlock words for the Word Tablet, insights and monuments. • Follower associations build up over time. Followers interpret commandments based on these associations. Some of these associations can make your work as a god difficult. However, you are able to spend influence in order to make your followers forget associations. • Water consumption UI added to give you information about what is the cause of water consumption on islands. • The Chronicler now acts as a guide. You are now greeted by the Chronicler when starting a new game and when loading a game. • Fortunes system added. Sometimes during play a fortune or misfortune strikes, causing trouble or aiding your followers. - They are designed to affect the current state of the world and challenge your playstyle. - They grow more powerful throughout a game session. • When saving or ending a game you get the opportunity to give your world a name. What is your journey called? • Follower now have thoughts that will help you understand them. You can more easily find out why they do or do not perform some actions. • City doctrine system entirely reworked. Instead of following one of six doctrines, cities now have several traits, one for each city need. This results in more varied city personalities. Cities judge your commandments based on these traits. • Follower/City needs are made easier to understand. With this change comes the removal of follower happiness. Instead of happiness, if some needs are not met they cause followers to be frustrated in different ways. This makes some needs more important to fulfill than previously. • Monuments have been reworked. Followers now celebrate you through their monuments by holding festivals in their city. During the festivals, each monument type gives a unique bonus to cities who have built them.

You've already seen what's to come in the public test build but the relaunch version will be more stable and polished. You need to be aware of that the relaunch version will overwrite the 1.0 version here on Steam, so old saves will break.
