The post-launch reality of indie
After its release, Event Horizon strives to improve the game by addressing feedback and review criticisms. Within the first week, three massive hotfixes and Patch 1.1 were released, addressing the most common technical problems. Event Horizon has been committed to listening closely to the community, and on December 12th 5 pm GMT, Event Horizon will release its biggest patch yet with 1.2.
This will lead to substantial quality-of-life features. Most notably, the gameplay experience will be a heavy focus on balancing, covering skills, enemies, and tactical environment while adding new content, such as a DPS testing ground and a challenge arena with handcrafted combat scenarios that will test the player’s party-building skills to the limit.

The community feedback was an integral part of the development process of our first game, Tower of Time. We believe we have a unique game here and won’t give up; we will continue to fight.”
