  Announcing Cauldron: Haunted Harvest!

  Hey Everyone!I wanted to officially announce that Cauldron: Haunted Harvest will be launching in Q1 2027! Thanks to all those who have been following development and who have helped playtest!To celebrate, Cauldron will be 67% off until September 9th! Haunted Harvest is a standalone spinoff set in the Cauldron universe. Instead of turn-based battles and party building, Haunted Harvest focuses on three deeply upgradeable minigames, a growing farm that never sleeps, and some really, really big numbers.Harvest three unique crops, buy some upgrades, and watch each game unfold. Haunted Harvest introduces a new Ascension mechanic that unlocks game-breaking upgrades to push your scores into the stratosphere. And with new offline progression, you can keep the rewards flowing while you step away to do your laundry.So if you're ready to jump back into more minigame madness, a wishlist would mean a lot!And as always, thanks for all the support!Pete

  Japanese, German, French and Brazilian Portuguese have been added to Cauldron!

  Hi Everyone!The language update is now out, with Japanese, German, French or Brazilian Portuguese as new options! There are also a bunch of other updates and fixes in the patch.General Stuff:4 new languages! We now support French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese!LOTS of performance optimizations. While working on the Switch port, I reworked a ton of code, especially around drawing. So let me know if this new version is working better for you! Everything has been tweaked, essentially. Menus should be faster, battles that were slower because of all the damage numbers popping up should be faster, minigames, dialogue, EVERYTHING!Endgame Balance: (to make those last achievements a bit easier)Enemies with Vengeful Blast have their explosion damage capped at 100/50 for frontline/backline heroes.Replaced the final ice game meta-upgrade with a more GPU friendly one, so it shouldn’t cause as much slowdown (and should be much easier to get to +99 ice level)Mining game diamonds are now worth 750 instead of 500. This increases the meta-upgrade bonus mode diamond mult from +5% to +7.5%Apple game targets now add 5% to score instead of 4%.Henry the Octopus now gives a 6% bonus instead of 5%.Cart game blorbs now start at +2% bonus instead of +1%.Not really endgame, but Idle mode's collection box is now faster, so it shouldn't be as much of a slog.(NOTE: to see some of these changes in your current saves, refund your skill trees!)Misc Fixes: (this isn't an exhaustive list, just some stuff I can remember!)Blinkie’s collision box in the ice game should work correctly now, so she can squeeze through tight gaps.Enemies no longer get the goddess bow item in battles, since it’s useless for them.Fixed the Special Draught unlock requirements: having x number of heroes at level y in the cart gameThanks for playing!Pete
