The Value Update - PvP Mode! Bonus Armor! Lower Price!
The Value Update
Since there's been occasional feedback about the price of the Fellowship Unlock being too high :lunar2019shockedpig: we decided to focus on fixing that with this update.
Thank you everyone for your support. We've really enjoyed working on this game and can't wait to see where it goes next! We are completely focused on delivering an insanely fun experience.
We've lowered the base price of the Fellowship Unlock to $14.99! We now have seven classes, two challenges (with several more to come), your name in gold, and as an extra bonus, 17 new armor and helmets so that you can dungeon crawl in style.
Player Vs Player!
We've added a new Player vs. Player challenge mode. All challenge modes can be enabled by a single player with the Fellowship Unlock so you can enable PvP and Bomb Craft modes for your friends for free!
In PvP it's a free for all deathmatch. Each player kill is worth 1 point and each boss kill is worth 3 points. Don't let them run off with your upgrades! Enemy health is halved and pickup drops are doubled for extra fun.
Bonus Armor & Helmets
As an extra bonus for the Fellowship Unlock we've added a bunch of exclusive new armor and helmets so that you can dungeon crawl in style!
As part of this we redesigned and rebuilt the character edit GUI to be much more friendly and usable. You'll now get preview images which makes it easy to see what your options are and we even added a system that lets you rotate your character to see how it looks from different sides.
Next Update Focus
The focus of the next update will try to add several more Challenge Modes to add additional content and more replayability to the game. Now that the Challenge Mode system is fully working we might be able to get five or more new challenges in the next update! Maybe even a daily run system as well. :lunar2019grinningpig:
We will also focus on adding a bunch more upgrades. We especially need more rechargeable upgrades as there's only a few that aren't locked behind character classes achievements. Adding more will cut down on the confusion around the green gems that recharge your mana.
Upgrades and Challenges are the big items that are keeping us from releasing out of early access.

The Trinket Update! 14 New Items & Bomb Craft Challenge Added
Trinkets
This new release adds 14 new upgrades available to find in the dungeon. We focused on adding trinket slot items that you can only have one at a time of. There were only about 3 available before so they were pretty rare and the slot would almost never be used. When you find an extra trinket it makes for interesting decisions on what to keep and the extra trinkets can be shared with the other members of the party, so they make the game a little more social.
With the 14 new upgrades our upgrade count is now at 92. Our goal before leaving early access is to have 120 upgrades available. About half of them will be unlocked thru achievements.
Challenge Mode
This release also adds the new Bomb Craft challenge mode! In this mode all players start with Demolition (bombs as shots) and the treasure rooms are removed. Players often think this upgrade is OP but it's actually quite tricky since it can cause team damage.
The challenge modes can only be selected by someone who owns the Fellowship unlock. So at least one of the 4 players will need to buy the game but then you can be a cool friend and unlock it for everyone.
