Development Version 0.15.0b1
In the [Development] branch, there's a preview/work in progress build with the following content added:
- Achievements! - Control support! - Menu updates - Minor bug fixes
So if you want to start hunting those achievements, it's only possible in the [Development] branch at the moment. The 0.15.0 version will be available in the normal branch soon(tm).
There are still a few minor issues that I'll address in the [Development] branch, but it's stable.
Cheers, Joccish
One year in Early Access discount!
Wanted to celebrate one year of Early Access with a discount for a week!
It has been a really stressful year, but the game has come really far during this time. I've been working on the game full time for two years, and when the EA release hit, I was head hunted for a job that I had to take to make ends meet. At the same time, we got pregnant. So, this Early Access year has been full of daytime work, indie dev during nights, while also wading in diapers and puke.
I'm kicking off with a plan for the 0.15.0 version, that will contain controller support and some other sweet stuff!
Much love, Jocce
Version 0.14.2.3
Since the last update, I've been working with a lot of tests and iterations. During this time, I've only updated the demo, to figure out, measure players etc. The result have been moved to the full version now as well. This took some more time than I thought, hence the long time between updates.
The tests focused on making the game more stable and making the combat a bit easier to understand.
FEATURES
IMPROVEMENTS
- Updated UI - Updated combat UI, effects and placements - Updated some descriptions
A few weeks ago my daughter was born, so the time available has been about 0 for a while now. However, I did manage to get some features in place - nothing big, but enough to make the game feel a bit better.
FEATURES
- Added 'hold to walk' to options - Added item: Steak - Added item: Chicken - Added tile: Corpse
IMPROVEMENTS
- Added a random limit to Stone Breaker uses - Chests doesn't always contain equipment (Armor/Weapon/Shield) - Added screen shake when taking damage - Added screen effects for better oomph - Added outline to items dropped
