Version 1.0.8 brings grave goods!
This update contains 7 new early game monsters, and grave goods! When starting a new game in this version you may be asked if you wish to select grave goods. Every saved death card can be used once to select one item from the card’s inventory to start your new game with.
This will help players get back up to speed more quickly after dying, and the new monsters will help vary up the early game. You can start a new game with up to 6 grave goods.

MidBoss enters Steam closed beta with v1.0
Version 1.0 of MidBoss is now live, and with it the Steam closed beta has started. Owners of the game on itch can redeem a Steam key to gain access to the game now! Additionally, players who play during the closed beta period will receive an exclusive platinum death card border. Scroll down to see what it looks like.
What are death cards? They look like trading cards, but they summarize your run and your death, and you can share them on Twitter. Death cards are not yet working; they’ll be in the game later in the closed beta. When they arrive, however, they’ll have embedded data that can be loaded in-game to show more information about the run, or let you replay the game with the same seed and game settings.
To request a Steam key:
If you made an itch.io account: Look at your purchase history and find MidBoss. The Steam key should be available from the downloads page.
If you did not make an account but you did keep the digital receipt: The email is from itch.io with a subject line of "Your purchase of 'MidBoss." Follow the download link included in that email; the Steam key should be on that page.
If you did not make an account and did not keep the digital receipt: You'll need to go to itch.io's support page and use the "Recover Games" option with the email address you used when you purchased the game.
