Jorgen Relationship Guide

Hi Vanirs, 

I will post the detailed guides in parts starting with the relationship guides first.

Jorgen Relationship Strategy:

Primary relationship attribute is affection. High affection often unlocks other stats bonuses like admiration and attraction. Jorgen is happy go lucky guy who prefers not to lead or take on responsibilities if he can. His values and worldview are designed around a pre-Christian peasant - where marriage is largely a practical/contractual af...

Fast Travel Feature

You can access fast travel feature from the top left screen in Ch2, heading directly to the trade production/crafting areas. Pray for no major bugs.

Delays in Timeline

Sorry everyone, as mentioned earlier, the technical updates set our timeline back and posed new challenges in the new chapter in terms of testing and stability. We need a few more weeks, but should still be released in September. I can't give a clear estimate now because every component needs to be retested, especially changes had been made to the crafting mechanism. Please give us the space and time to focus on the development to get back on track, ensure good quality and story immersion. Th...

Technical Updates

Patch 1.86 details

Important note: Please download this patch even if you do not intend to play it now. Once chapter 2 is released, Ch1 will be moved to public release for purchase. You will need patch 1.86 in order to play chapter 2.

- implemented gender signs for choices affecting masc/fem stats

- increased save slots to 9 pages

- New upgrade available (Automated Harvesting), which will create a new trade screen in the farm home for clear composting (harvest all comp...

Preview for Chapter 2 Combat System

Development for chapter 2 was delayed because the technical update was more complex than we thought. There were a lot of crashes and compatibility issues with existing saves and the Ch2 concurrent development. As a result, we had to do a lot of backward and forward compatibility testing. However, I'm pleased to announce that the core codes and game mechanics for Chapter 2 is done. 

The combat interface shows energy (health), attach power, boss health, and power up items (rations, a...

Chapter 2 milestone

The new explorable areas for chapter 2 is done! Part of the story will need you to get out of Alfheimr and uncover mysteries. Stakes will increase gradually throughout the chapters, and chapter 2 will introduce the death and injury mechanism. The higher your will, the more injuries you can sustain. You will need them as you venture beyond the safety of the walls :).

Streamline update and other key questions

Next patch update will implement the following:

a) mass harvesting for compost and food production (as an upgrade available after bountiful harvest)

b) requirements for Summer Solstice will be reduced 

c) bug fixes for gallery and other CGs

Fast travel and reworking the quest tracker system are very expensive and potentially game-breaking. We will only implement them if the project had sufficient resources.

Key questions about relationships and sexual intima...

Brotherly love

Jorgen with Britt and Birgit.

Erland trimmed

What did Erland get himself into this time? Find out in chapter 2!

Audience with the Grand Huldra

In Chapter 2, you will need to start picking sides. Are you Team Onsrud (pro mystics) or Team Falsen (the pragmatics)?

Ander's initiation

Anders initiates Britt into the Ulfheðnar (berserker) trance in Chapter 2.

Ralf with trimmed pubes

Ralf initiates Britt into leading the Freyr's blót at the Summer Solstice.

Ergi lore and other questions

Hi guys, sorry I can't respond to every comment so I thought I'll do up a post to address the key ones I picked up. I really liked the idea of a lore page (as part of the faction page), though I don't have the resources to put up one now. The game lore is based on recorded/known Viking customs and myths, and how they might (reasonably) behave or evolve in a modern post-apocalyptic setting.

Ergi is not (necessarily) a homophobic slur

Ergi or sordinn is an ...

Ergi:Alfheimr Feedback 2

Hi guys, give me some feedback on how you find the game difficulty level. I'll try to adjust it for Chapter 2.

First look at Ergi: Jörmungandr

Work on Chapter 2 has started, thanks for all the feedback and suggestions so far. I'll do up a patch fix on Tyr's image gallery thumbnail then move on to focus on the next chapters. A lot of the game functions, including tooltips are hardcoded/automated, I will look at the suggestions again after the series is completed to do an overhaul like what we did for the Tyrano to Ren'py migration. This is to minimize the risks of production delays and causing the build to be unstable/buggy. Hope you...

Alfheimr Feedback

Which side storylines you enjoy the most? Leave a comment in discord or here and let me know what you want to see more of!

Crafting Guide

Hi all, I did up a crafting guide for those who are struggling with the mechanics. Try to help each other out with the game if you can. I will need to start working on Chapter 2, so might not be so responsive to questions. 

For feedbacks on UI/UX , I can only adjust them after the series is completed. Otherwise, there will be production delays and make the build unstable. For feedbacks/suggestions on gameplay, plot etc, I can adjust them along the way with future chapters. Sorry if...

Alfheimr main & side stories guide

Hi all, I did up a guide to unlock all main and side stories. Hope this helps if you want to unlock all CGs :)

Ergi: Alfheimr download v0.1.8.62

Hi all, thanks for waiting so patiently. You can download Chapter 1 (Win) from Itch with the above link. Before downloading, you must log in to your Itch account and connect it to Patreon (claim your download key). Delete your v0.1.2 folder and use this - your save games should still work. (Mac and Linux will be up shortly).

The gameplay is around 6-8 hours (from my playtest) if you pursue all storylines. Strategy guide for Vanirs will be posted in batches a few days after release. This...

Post production and QA complete

Final play-test before release! Thanks for waiting.

Final Lap!!!

Testing is completed, and major bugs are fixed. Now it is back with the programmer for QA to polish up the gameplay UI. Chapter 1 is a big release and almost a standalone game by itself. 

Thanks for the patience, we are almost there!

Testing updates

Testing and fixes for the main story and three character arcs are complete! Left with six character arcs, location arcs, and integration testing to be done. In the meantime, more previews for the coming chapter.

Improved Crafting and Day-Night cycle

Henrik after a dive

This is a discarded scene of Henrik after diving in the river and drying himself on the porch.

Henrik Drinking

This is a CG in chapter 1 of Henrik downing a bottle. Some of the love interests drinks, so get ready a bottle to get closer to them!

Britt Default Hairstyle (Chapter 3) - Which one you prefer?

Henrik the reluctant leader

Henrik is sophisticated, charismatic, and ambitious. Romance with him can be complicated, as he is the Head Captain who needs to hold conflicting priorities and loyalties together. He has big plans for Alfheimr but needs the Onsruds on his side or out of his way.

Henrik, Captain of the Council

Henrik is also the Head Captain of Alfheimr Valley and one of the Council members.  He has rejected many of Huldra's proposals to marry and settle in the Alpines. Charming, charismatic, and with a keen eye for talent, he sets his sights on Britt the moment he is conscripted. He is also the only one who happens to know Britt's birth parents.
