Book of Demons

Multiple characters per class and the updated roadmap

It's time for our weekly update! This one adds (among other things) multiple characters per class support, a new type of prop in the maze (the first tileset): a column and many additions to the Hell tileset.

Aside from that, there are of course multiple fixes and tweaks. You can find the complete changelog below.

We have also updated the roadmap

In other news, we now have two new (that we know of) unofficial fan managed communities for Russian and Polish speaking players. If you want to talk to like-minded souls in your native tongue please consider joining.

Of course, our Steam community is still here for you. If you haven't consider sharing your thoughts.

Cheers, and stay safe in the dungeons!

Big and awesome update! (0.71.10.10477+)

As most critical bugs got fixed we decided to publish fewer but larger updates. We were hard at work during the last few days. Among many fixes and balance tweaks, there are new environmental effects in Hell (lava is actually flowing!), lots of additions to Catacombs tileset and controls are now mappable.

So, without further ado, I present you the newest patch:

Version 0.71.10.10477+ - 26 Aug 2016

  • Hell tileset update - new tiles and many bug fixes for wall geometry
  • New animated lava atmospheric effects in hell
  • Graphical props such as piles of rubble, holes in the ground, will no longer disappear when you re-enter a level
  • Another bug with clean sweep counter squashed! The counter was corrupted each time you entered a level with a cursed chest that was already open.

  • Balance: monsters with skills will no longer cast immediately after performing a complex action (such as teleporting or hiding)

  • Blast! Boom! KABOOM! achievements count card uses not bombs thrown, as was intended.
