天命Heavenly Mandate Play

News

What changed in each update of Heavenly Mandate. The game updates itself; online play needs the newest version.

v0.056

A quieter, hands-on first lesson, friends on the main menu, and a server closer to most players

  • The first lesson is guided one action at a time
  • The master no longer speaks: his words are on the card, and the lesson's 78 voice clips are gone (the app is 0.8 MB smaller)
  • In the lesson your own pagodas hold their fire and you cannot die, so nothing interrupts a step
  • The menu tour is 6 stops instead of 22
  • Friends and party on the main menu
  • And 1 more change.
v0.055

Play with friends, in your language, with a master to teach you

  • Friends: add a friend by their name (Name#1234 at the top of the Friends panel)
  • Parties: invite online friends into a party of up to 5
  • Chat: team, all and party chat with four quick phrases
  • Online formats: Ranked, Quick Match, Bridge of Immortals and Duels each ask for a format
  • Smoother movement online: your own immortal is drawn where it is going, the moment you move the stick, instead of after the input delay
  • And 7 more changes.
v0.054

Smooth movement online

  • Online, immortals steered with the thumb stick or a gamepad no longer move in stop-and-go steps
  • The stick now sends a direction the immortal keeps following (as the keyboard always did) instead of a point just ahead, which arrived after the input delay and made…
  • Measured: at a 300 ms input delay the old way stopped the immortal 8% of the time and cut its speed by 22%; the new way is as smooth as offline
v0.053

A focused roster of 15, smoother online play, resting and potions, a lighter touch interface, and a new icon

  • Roster: 15 immortals for now, chosen so every role has strong picks and both story campaigns keep their heroes
  • Online: the troop button works (the server used to drop the summon command)
  • Online: less lag
  • Resting: out of combat for 5 s, immortals slowly regain health (1%/s rising to 2%/s) and Qi (1.5%/s)
  • Potions redefined: one purchase with charges that refill free at the Gate of Life
  • And 5 more changes.
v0.052

Online play now connects to our own hosted server: no setup needed

  • Online works out of the box: the game connects to the Heavenly Mandate server we host, so matchmaking finds real players anywhere, not just on the same Wi-Fi
  • Settings › Online still lets a tester type another server address
  • The server is updated when each new version is live on Google Play, so the version on the store always matches it
  • When the server needs a newer game, an Update button opens the game's Google Play page
  • Settings › Online › Delete my online account: deletes your online account and its data on the spot (offline progress stays)

Older versions are listed in the full changelog in the game's repository.
