Crypt Hunter
Approaching Release
While we work on our new updates we would like to let you know what to expect in the coming months.
A new Mode-
Classic
A new Classic mode will be added that offers a more traditional roguelike experience, one long dungeon, get to the boss and exit.
New weapons-
new weapons with added magical effects to make picking up a new item much more exciting.
New Enemies-
Lots of new enemies are being added. Spiders, Wizards, and more!
Other stuff!-
Tons more, edible food, a map system, new levels, and other stuff we don't want to spoil.
We have been working very hard to keep making the game better and better and we hope you all like it, we are a two person team and we love to work hard on this game and hope you've been enjoying it!
May beta update!
We've added a minimap! just look down to see where you are on the map. you'll be able to see the exit and other interesting features.
added new hit effects, each weapon type has different effects when you hit something.
New potions, so they look more like real liquid.
EVERYTHING is a weapon, you can now throw anything at an enemy to hurt them.
Other bug fixes and minor changes.
March Update!
Right now: Blocking! you can now use a weapon to block and defend.
Added Snap turn mode so our Oculus customers should have a much easier time.
Can now just slide your finger on the pad to move.
The hand moves now and as such the grab mechanics are a little different. if you grab a weapon it will stick to your hand but when picking up things it will need to be held.
Fixed the rats and bats to be closer to you and act more naturally.
Coins are now in, and able to be picked up, but they aren't worth anything (yet).
In the future:
We are adding in new enemies very soon, but we need to make the ones we have now work with our new systems. It'll be worth it.
Adding new Dungeons, we have new workflows for making dungeons that should make them much more detailed and much faster.
adding in a new quest system and ai that will request actually give you the quests. It will be much more of a living world.
Thanks for reading the march update, hope everyone is looking forward to the new changes!
Whats coming up?
we are working hard on the next update so I thought I'd share whats coming up.
We will be adding in new enemies soon, so be prepared to find some enemies that don't just run at and try to hit and stab you.
Merchants! We'll be adding in a new Merchant very soon, and with merchants comes gold too! You'll be able to pick up and sell treasures to buy better items.
Better items! You'll also be seeing a lot of new Magical items coming up.
Hope some of this information tides you over for the next update. We are also adding in snap turning for our Oculus friends and left handed mode for lefties.
