As of 1.6.5 , Heads-up ThingOnItsOwn with custom map creation docks is under it's own category and adventure, the one under adventure crashes the game now.
Cant load games since the most recent patch. Love the game, just dont know where to post this bug so hopefully Dev sees this. Game just crashes every time i try to load one. Thx for all your great work
The demo version broke my monitor(and probably something else).When playing the game takes more and more memory at the point where it crashes not the game but the entire pc(everything i had in the background ended crashing as well), so buy the game or play the free version that is the same as a virus. Apart of that the game is very good, already played +20hours and Hardsoul character is op.
This game is absolutely fantastic. I also LOVE the demo model it's using. Being able to try the whole game out really game me a chance to see what it was all about, and after about an hour of play, I wishlisted it on Steam and bought it here. My biggest concern so far is this crash that happens every time I get pretty deep into a game. I'll get this error to crash the game out, and then another one when I try to load the saves. With the update history I've seen so far, I'm sure it'll get fixed in the near future.
9/10 in current state. Will recommend to all my friends, if you add content and or dlc, this game could last a very long time into the foreseeable future, or create a foundation for the success of coming successors if planed.
Excellent game! Seriously, you've done a great job of bringing back that Master of Magic look and feel and even the replayability. I really appreciate you putting in so much variety that the game never gets stale or repetitive. I love everything about the game, the graphics the music, the gameplay! You've done in 40mb's what most studios have tried to recreate in gigabytes and years of work. Keep it up, I'll be here enjoying your game and waiting for more. I do have some suggestions: please make scrolling through heros easier by letting me click on their portrait even if I'm looking at their stats/spell page or add a way to cycle through them in their name at the top of their stats profile. Its annoying to have to escape their profile just to go click another to get to the same profile I was just looking at. Just a minor QoL change. Game is awesome either way!
Absolutely love this game and recommend it to anyone. It crashes my Alienware tower seemingly every 5 minutes but its so good I just sigh and wait for the reboot so I can load it up again.
My first impressions - it's a very addictive game! I played it until 5 AM. To be honest that thing with 100 goblins in one unit was always the main reason why I didn't like HoMM and King's Bounty series. But this kinda RTS battles are gorgeous! Can't say that I like graphics a lot especially interface design. HoMM 3 looked more pleasant. But it's not distracting either. Hope that in future versions there will be an art for towns like in HoMM or Disciples. It was very satisfying to see how your fortress grows. Ah by the way - it would be much more convenient if the game would be set to pause not only when you chose some spell but also when you open a spell book. It will make possible to read spell descriptions without harsh and decide what you should use.
hey I just had a 3 hour game against a horde opponent, playing cat and mouse with their seemingly endless armies. (seriously I must have killed 20 atleast.) When out of nowhere, they showed up with 500+ troops, and wiped me. Keep in mind I had killed atleast 20 of their armies, and held every property on the map for atleast an hour. Can somebody please explain to me what the fuck?
You absolute madlad! The game is brilliant and it's a breath of fresh ideas into an old working formula.
Still, there are improvements to be made.
First, I don't know if there is or there isn't, but modding support at start might seem like an unnecessary extra work, but in the long run it really helps, especially if you run your project with few people. Or just by yourself. If it's the case it's even more important. You can keep it fresh by yourself only to some extend, outsourcing the work for free worked out well for Bethesda and talewords.
Second, optimisation can be improved. I run a potato with 2 ram sticks attached to it but i'm pretty sure that potato had better time with more complex situations.
Third, a gameplay issue. To be able to convert towns and dwellings would really help the gameplay and it will remove unnecessary micromanagement.
I sure have more feedback but, i just love my own voice. Rock on!
Oh, also, embarking and disembarking were a full turn action on heroes. For a reason.
The game is brilliant and could become a real star. I had well fun playing the demo! But sadly the game started crashing after I bought the full version. I started 4 games and each time it crashed after ca. 10min. A bit frustrating. The demo was running without crashing. Besides that the game is already pure gold. I hope it will get regular updates and maybe even more races. Keep up the good work! I really hope the crashing problem will be fixed soon!
Hey, got this error every time I clicked other than Tutorial. New Game, Load Game, Option. Though I can make a new game if I press fast enough. It's all happen if I pressed the main menu. I open lexicon on in game menu it's fine
Bonjour tout le monde, étant un grand fan de la licence HOMM je trouve ce jeux magnifique (un bon gameplay, beaucoup de créatures différentes, plusieurs factions différentes, beaucoup d'artéfacts, ...), j'ai joué a la démo et j'ai eu 2 crash du jeu, environ 1 crash par heure, dès la sortie du jeu sur steam je vais l'acheter, c'est juste un plaisir énorme de jouer à ce jeux, j'attendais depuis longtemps un jeux similaire de HOMM et je l'ai enfin trouvé, vous faites un boulot juste énorme, bravo à vous.
Hi, this seems to be an issue that happens when you launch the game through the itch io app! I don't know why it happens, but the game works if you launch it via the exe the normal way.
is there something i need to download besides the game because i download the demo and click on the game and it opens folders and i click on it in folders and noting happens
Hi! Welcome everyone who's coming from the Spiffing Brit video! I'll be trying to answer all questions, but answers will come faster if you ask them over on the discord! (sorry so many questions so little time) https://discord.gg/sVZYBmuDqm If you're having trouble where loading or starting the tutorial freezes the game, launching the game through the downloaded folder instead of the itch io launcher seems to help!
Hi! i wanna download this game as it looks fun, but never used itch.io before. How would i update the game after i puchased it? May be a dumb question lol
Well I understand where are you coming from but on the other hand it can save your units from onslaught from trolls or other powerfull ranged units etc. Guess it has its uses. On the other hand I have to agree that it is not one of the best skills in the game.
the game is very good, I have not found any crash, but I have to give some notes, the user interface does not work properly it does not show me some units and when I change the scale the font becomes very difficult to read, I also have to say that the game is almost unplayable after forty minutes of play (basically a lot of lag) and when I check the task manager the game consumes all the ram which leads me to close and restart the game, but sometimes the game goes to the secondary processes and does not close continuing the high consumption of ram

Heyya, I love your work, i just would like to know if you'd be ok with modding of this game or if your going to integrate modding support.
As of 1.6.5 , Heads-up ThingOnItsOwn with custom map creation docks is under it's own category and adventure, the one under adventure crashes the game now.

i have the same issue but the game is great, hoping they fix the memory issue soon tho :)
So there is a chunky memory leak here. Good to know
Every time I click on tutorial it crashes the game and itch. It won't even let me close or restart the game for some reason.
I tried launching the game and this came up what should I do

I tried for free and ended up purchasing this game. It feels very good to me. Occasional crashes but, very fun. Well done!

I get this same error when I try to load a game that has crashed due to the error I listed above. It happens late in sprawling maps.
I wanted to ask. I really love the game since I played the demo, but I have a question. Should I wait until it comes out on Steam to purchase?
I'm asking this, because I want to know if the game will get frequent updates in the foreseeable future.
Any chance purchasing on here nabs a steam key upon release on that platform?
was wondering the same thing
He says so further down in this comments section.
The Spiffing Brit covered this game and it looks like an absolute blast!
What are your thoughts on modsupport? When you release it on steam it could use the Steam Workshop for mods

I cant even download it. been about an hour and still can't get it. file keeps failing to download. any help

My Game crashed randomly without any error message...

Same thing happened to me a couple of times and dont know whats causing it at all
Will this game have a map editor by chance?
The Game beginns laging in City fights
My entire PC froze after i tried to start the Tutorial
2 Times
Hi, this seems to be an issue that happens when you launch the game through the itch io app! I don't know why it happens, but the game works if you launch it via the exe the normal way.
Options window makes weard stuff on german translation
Played a demo a bit, game is quite fun... But does the AI cheat on higher difficulties? Seems like so.
ye, the increased difficulties are specifically to have the AI cheat. Hard is the "fair" gamemode.
is there something i need to download besides the game because i download the demo and click on the game and it opens folders and i click on it in folders and noting happens
you need to extract the zip file, then double click on the Hero's Hour.exe file!
If I buy the game on itch.io and then the Steam version comes out, can I play the game on Steam? I have already bought it then... right?
If you buy on itch io before the game comes out on steam, you will get access to a steam key.
And thats how you get my money, bought it!
yup! sold as well

there's an itch io launcher that helps keep you updated - otherwise, you'll have to do it manually. Follow me here on itch, on https://twitter.com/ThingOnItsOwn or on https://discord.gg/sVZYBmuDqm and you'll be notified!
Spiff showed this off today. Looks amazing.
Hex is bad. it give the units of the enemy more hp.
Well I understand where are you coming from but on the other hand it can save your units from onslaught from trolls or other powerfull ranged units etc. Guess it has its uses. On the other hand I have to agree that it is not one of the best skills in the game.
