This is Dude, Community person from Bonus Stage Publishing, and I have some news for you.

We have done lot's of improvements since last version. This new version brings number of enemies in the enemy pool to 15 – 5 Merc Killers, and 10 standard enemies.
Latest version also introduces a number of fixes to how runs are saved/loaded. It won't be perfect yet, but should be better than ever before.
WARNING: in general this release will be somewhat buggy/unbalanced, so only play if you're willing to deal with that. We did some playtesting ourselves and fixed a few game-breaking bugs, but there might be more. And that's why we need more people to give this game a shot.
The good news is that this is the last large release before v1.0.0 (public release). Now, the only updates we'll be pushing are bug fixes, balance fixes, and adding in missing art assets. So instead of introducing more new stuff, it'll all be about polishing and fixing what already exists.
"If you try out this release, thank you in advance! It means a lot to me." -Tim the Developer
DINO MERCS was selected to be a part of TurnBasedFest, so for a limited time I've made a new demo available for the duration of the festival. Be sure to try it out to see what I've been hard at work on!
A lot has changed recently, I switched game engines, revamped a lot of the game concepts, added new characters and cards, and more. If you check out the demo and have feedback, please join the discord server so I can take your feedback and make the game better!
A big thank you to anyone who checks out the demo! I'll be posting more frequently on steam about updates to the game and general development news.

Enter here the ultimate SFX’s of explosions and dinosaur growls as in 2022 you will be able to beat the baddies as dinosaur mercenaries and make your teenage dreams come true! Bonus Stage Publishing is set to release DINO MERCS, a roguelite deckbuilder by Unusual Undertaking.

About the developer: Unusual Undertaking is a one-person game dev studio currently located in Seattle, Washington (soon to be Glasgow, Scotland!). Tim, the studio head/president/CEO, has wanted to draw pictures of dinosaurs for a job since he was five. So, naturally, he founded a studio that makes dinosaur-themed indie games.
