More Info About What's Coming in the Next Patch
Hey everyone!

The upcoming patch is very substantial and taking a while to finish so I just wanted to give another quick update on what is to come.

New Characters


Here's a small teaser for some of the upcoming new characters!



New Ways to Power Up Your Runs


I'm introducing some new systems that'll add more build variety to the game. A quick sneak peek:



Major Upgrade Perk Overhaul


I mentioned this in a previous post, but almost all upgrade trees are getting some perks reworked as well as a ton of new upgrade perks are being added. Here's the revolver with some of the new upgrades in action:



Endless Mode Rework


Some people were concerned from my last news post, when I announced that endless mode is getting removed. So I wanted to clarify that endless will not be a separate mode anymore, and instead, at the end of each won run, you'll have the option to "loop". Starting a new loop, you keep all of your upgrades, and the pool of available upgrades is replaced with a completely different and new set of special upgrades that can be stacked endlessly.

Performance Improvements


I'm rewriting a significant portion of the game's code-base to utilize Unity's DOTS (Data-Oriented Technology Stack), which will drastically improve the game's performance. It should make the game run smooth and lag-free even on low end PCs or the Steam Deck. This is a substantial time investment, and is a major reason why the new patch is taking a while.

There's currently no ETA on the release date for the next patch. Thanks for waiting patiently, and I hope you all enjoy playing the game in the mean time!

By the way, if you are a fan of action roguelike game, you can follow and wishlist my publisher's upcoming title:

Next Patch Delayed / What I'm Working On
Hi, everyone! In my a previous announcement, I mentioned that a new patch would be coming late in December. However, the upcoming patch ended being much more substantial than what I had initially planned, so it'll be a delayed. I wanted to share a quick update on what I'm working on.

New Monsters, and Enemies Rebalancing





New enemies are coming! Some existing enemies will be reworked as well.

New Upgrade Perks and Major Rebalancing


Some existing upgrades that don't do enough, like Blazing Speed, are getting reworked or replaced. New upgrades and synergies are getting introduced as well!

Rerolls and other Quality of Life Improvements


Rerolls will be a standard feature now, not just a Shana exclusive thing. Shana is also getting reworked alongside this change. Other QoL improvements coming as well (UI for seeing current stats, compendium of upgrades, etc).

Endless Mode Rework


The current endless mode is neither a balanced nor satisfying experience and will be scraped completely. I'm testing some options to replace it.

So when is the next patch coming?


In addition to the above, there's actually quite a bit more content and new systems I'm working on that I'm not ready to reveal. A lot of it is not set in stone so it's tough for me to give an ETA for now. Thanks for being patient and I'll try to give a news update again when I have more to share!
