TUNIC is a game all about evoking the days of childhood wonder. From the joys of flipping through the instruction manual to the bewilderment of a late-game puzzle, this adventure is designed to bring you back to your adolescence.

Today we're happy to announce that TUNIC is evoking another obsession of your youth: trading cards.

That's right, those little pieces of paper that your parents and teachers never quite understood are available in digital form thanks to the power of Steam Trading Cards.

Beginning today, you can earn TUNIC trading cards by playing the game just how you normally would. Convert those trading cards into emoticons and profile backgrounds! Or keep the cards for yourself and hold all the bragging rights.

Just don't make any bad trades. I remember trading my holographic Charizard for a couple of Dittos and--

Whoops. Nearly broke the fourth wall there.

Anywho, happy collecting! Stay in school! Keep your grades up!! Bye!!!

Hi all! I hope you're doing well.

It's that time again where everyone cozies up, gathers together, and starts discussing their favourite games of the year. Steam's way of doing this is The Steam Awards, where you — yes you! — can nominate your faves to be included in the running.

TUNIC wears its inspirations on its sleeve. It might seem a little odd, then, to suggest a nomination for the Innovation category. But I think it makes sense, based on what we've heard from the people who love TUNIC. The stories about TUNIC that fill me with joy the most are not necessarily the ones that say "it reminds me of game X"! or "it's Y meets Z, what a great combo!" It's the stories about how playing TUNIC evoked a feeling of true wonder and mystery, through the playing of the game itself. I won’t spoil anything here, but… you know.

(Nominations for the Steam Awards close tomorrow, November 29th. So, if you’re feeling nominate-y, now’s the time!)

I’ve done something I consider deeply self indulgent: a couple of times now, I’ve watched deep-dive videos about TUNIC. This is, as you might expect, a deeply weird experience. Having someone — or a whole community! — examine and speculate and philosophize about your work is equal parts ego-stroking, emotional catharsis, and pure delight. It allows us to look at the game through the eyes of the players who love it most, instead of through the eyes of people who have toiled over it for many, many years. We can see it as something beautiful, instead of as the product of a long, messy, journey of self-doubt.

When I’m able to look at the game this way, the thing that I’m most proud of is that we may indeed have found something really special with the design of TUNIC. If this sounds right to you, we’d be honoured to receive your Steam Awards Most Innovative Gameplay nomination. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Andrew

Hi everyone; it’s update day! We’ve got a nice lil patch for you here, mostly some Quality-of-Life improvements and Accessibility options:

• Controller Remapping. You can now customize your controller inputs. Put potion on a face button! Put dodge on a stick press! The world is your oyster!
  
  
• Audio Puzzle Assistance. Turn this option on if you want to add a visual element to puzzles that are otherwise audio-only.
  
  
• A new accessibility option. Secrets! At a certain point, a new button will appear in the accessibility options to help with the physical demands of some late-game puzzles.
  
  
• Speedrun Mode. Turning on Speedrun Mode gives you an in-game timer, as well as a “finish line” end-game collection summary. Shoutouts to the TUNIC speedrun community[discord.gg], who helped work on this!
  
  
• Combat difficulty setting. For folks who want a breezier time with the combat, but don’t want to turn on No Fail mode, there’s now reduced combat difficulty mode.

Additionally, we’ve squashed a bunch of little bugs, but there are a few bigger ones worth mentioning:

• Reduced likelihood of a late-game combat gauntlet becoming unbeatable when certain enemies are distracted.
  
• Fixed a UI issue where the game could get stuck in an item submenu.
  
• Fixed the behaviour of a certain boss, making his movement more consistent across different framerates.
  
• Fixed an issue where choosing violence could show the wrong ending.
  
• A bunch of little optimizations! Porting the game to other platforms means that we can find more little performance gains and make things a little smoother for everyone.

That's it for now! See you next time ♥

Get ready for some minor quality of life changes!! You may notice some small improvements to your Tunic quality of life with these tweaks. I'm running out of ways to say the same thing, so, without further ado:

• Players who have previously shared their wisdom may now choose violence.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could be stuck behind a certain door if had not been previously opened. (If you have this issue, revisit the door and it will now open.)
  
• The approach to the a certain secret treasure has been adjusted slightly to make accessing it less fiddly for keyboard players.
  
• Fixed a bug where enemies could be launched out-of-bounds in a late-game area, making them impossible to kill.
  
• Fixed an issue where a specific path was impassible at high refresh rates.
  
• Various visual tweaks.

Finally, keep an eye out for some additional accessibility-focused features lined up for upcoming patches! Thanks, and happy fighting <3

Hi everyone! The last couple of updates that have come out are almost entirely bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. No big new secrets or anything! I'd like to do a more detailed breakdown with full patch notes at some point, but here's a quick summary of what we've been up to:

We've had a handful of reports where savefiles have been mysteriously reset. This is heartbreaking for us, especially for folks who have put so many hours into this game. The fix should help prevent this from happening in the future.

This is probably the most obvious change. In a certain mid-game area, we've added a new shortcut. This is mostly to fix an edgecase where players can get stuck; now, they'll have a way to get back to a checkpoint.

• Fixed an issue where some controllers would not work on some platforms.
  
• Many small fixes to prevent getting stuck or falling out of the the environment.
  
• Fixed an issue on some M1 macs where gui elements (eg: the options screen) were not visible or were scaled incorrectly
  
• Disabled some unused packages that were causing unnecessary antivirus/firewall problems.
  
• Fixed a rare issue where quality settings were being incorrectly loaded.
  
• Fixed Finji logo not appearing as part of the logo parade.
  
• Adjusted the effective radius of a certain technique in a certain area where some players thought they were stuck.
  
• Adjustments to sound effects.
  
• Fixing bug where audio sliders were not being respected for certain sounds.
  
• Improved French and French-Canadian localization.
  
• Fixed bug where a certain item wasn't preventing damage properly in some places.
  
• Reduced memory allocations for certain effects to help with garbage-collection hitches.
  
• Fixed many locations where the player could become stuck or fall out of bounds.
  
• Fixed loud "echo" effect in a certain boss fight.
  
• Fixed bug where a player could be locked out of getting a certain item late in the game if they do something unexpected earlier in the game.
  
• Added a subtle animation to remind players how to return from a place where they might otherwise think they're stuck.
  
• Clarifying a clue on page 48 of the manual.
  
• Enabled mac retina support
  
• Added support for non 16:9 / 16:10 resolutions, which should correctly pillarbox the display for folks with ultrawide displays.
  
• Attempting to fix an issue where non-Gregorian system calendars will cause the Load File menu to fail when trying to parse time played.
  
• "Reduce Damage Flash" accessibility option now turns off enemy telegraph flashing and the flashing of the stamina bar.
  
• Various audio fixes.
  
• Other small fixes.
