Welcome new players and Dev Updates
Hey everyone, Ben here.
I wanna take a brief second to give a warm welcome to everyone who got the game through the Humble Choice bundle of April 2023, we are happy to have you be part of our community! 💙 We also recommend immediatly switching to the Beta Branch once you start playing the game, it includes a lot of improvements, rebalancing, tweaks and even some new things, that are not in the default branch. =D
We are currently working on a massive, game changing 2.0 Update, which will overhaul a lot of aspects of the game and add a ton of new content to it as well. If you have any feedback/bug reports regarding the game you'd want us to address in 2.0 feel free to either put it in our Discord were I am probably the most active, or in the Steam Forums. I can't promise that we can address everything, but we try to take everything into account. =D
On that note, I know I have been a bit quiet here on Steam when it comes to Dev Updates and that is because we are currently preparing a lot of cool stuff for this years "Revitaversary" which is gonna take place on the 21st of April. We got a bunch of really, really cool things to announce, especially regarding 2.0 so you really don't wanna miss it. I'll be posting more information regarding the event once we get a bit closer, so keep your eyes open.
And that is it for today. A bit shorter than usual, but I felt like these points were important to bring up, especially with the games playerbase now having almost doubled since the humble choice dropped yesterday. (Much love!) However, I will leave you with 1 new teaser video for 2.0 that teases quite a few changes regarding celestial weapons among other things. Till next time!

Dev Update | More Reworks and Additions
Hey everyone, Ben here,
It is that time again. Time for another dev update!
Yes 2.0 is not dead, quite the opposite! It is bigger and better than ever! If you are following me on Twitter or are in our Discord you have probably already seen me post a lot of wip screenshots and gifs of upcoming additions, reworks, tweaks and all kinds of other stuff, but for those who haven't, I wanted to dive a little deeper into all things 2.0.
First off, while it is taking a lot longer than originally intended, 2.0 is progressing smoothly and is really turning into something worthy of the version number "2.0". With not "just" reworks and rebalances but also a ton of new content to boot. So I hope you can wait just a little longer as we are getting closer and closer to the finish line. Trust me, it will be worth it!
But lets get to the actual meat and potatoes, starting of with the reworked map system!
Not just did the map in the transition between rooms get a nice visual overhaul, it now also gives you a lot more information than previously. Aside from showing you which rooms are locked and need a key to be opened, it also shows you all the special rooms for an area even if you don't have the map relic. The thought process here being, that this will allow for more strategy and planning during runs rather than just either using a key now or hoping that you maybe get a better locked room later on.
Shard Benefits:
Previously, roughly every 5 shard levels you got an additional benefit to your runs. It was always either an increase in relic rarity or the ability to equip an additional ticket for cheaper. However I always felt like that system was a little uninteresting and could have so much more potential, so 2.0 will reintroduce them as "Shard Benefits", giving you even more customizability in regards to how you want to start your runs!
There are a lot of them and they all give you different, minor benefits at the start of each run. Maybe you still want to start with cheaper tickets, or maybe you'd like to start a run with 3 keys instead? The choice is yours!
Dyes:
Speaking of choices and customizability, Revita kid sure looks different here!
2.0 will introduce a new unlockable called Dyes These will allow you to customize your version of Revita Kid even further! Now you can not just change your hat, but also the colours of your outfit!
And they'll even show up on the reworked leaderboards!
Synergies:
Another big system that is getting reworked and also buffed a lot next update, are Synergies.
Not only does every relic belong to a synergy now instead of just a select few, but they also come in two levels, as well as being much stronger and more useful than previously!
The new Gunslinger synergy for example lets you shoot an additional bullet at 50% damage if you carry 3 relics that fit into its synergy and an additional bullet at 100% damage if you carry 5!
Have I mentionend yet that there will also be 25 new synergies, making it twice the amount of synergies than in 1.0?
As you can see, there is a ton of stuff happening with 2.0 and this is just the tip of the iceberg, there is so much more to it. So why not, to end things off, leave you with an additional screenshot and a gif. Happy Holidays everyone and we'll see each other again next year!

The time for the 2.0.0 Beta has come! You might be asking, why 2.0.0 and not 1.1.0? Well, the update got quite big after trying to listen to pretty much every bit of feedback, be it from reviews or the community discord, to a point where a lot of major stuff got entirely overhauled (No worries it should still be just as enjoyable as before, actually, hopefully much more enjoyable!)
Additionally, yes you saw correctly, this is part 1 of the Beta! Part 1 will focus primarily on reworked mechanics, balancing, quality of life, etc, while Part 2, which will drop at some point in the near future, will focus primarily on some new content =)
Please be aware that due to this being a Beta, there might still be a handful of bugs, new things are only localized in english among a few other things, so we heavily recommend backing up your save files. (Save files can be found in appdata/local/Revita/save_n.data with "n" being the number of the save)
To access the beta, right click the game in your steam library, go to properties, betas and then select "community_public",
Since this update changes so many fundementals about the game and we want to make sure everyone likes the changes, we encourage you to either join the Discord to discuss said changes directly with the community and me, or leave your feedback below this post/ on the steam forums, either works. I'll be looking forward to reading your feedback! =D

Dev Update | New Room Generation
Hey everyone, Ben here,
It's been a while, so I wanted to share some updates on the upcoming update and go a bit more in depth into one of the upcoming changes, which I am especially excited for, the remade room generation.
First of, the update is still progressing smoothly, however it has gotten a lot bigger than originally anticipated, so it's taking a bit longer to develop than we thought it would. However it should still hopefully be finished sometime over the next few weeks, but no promises in that regard. I wanna make sure it's as good as it can be afterall!
Now to the more exciting topic, the reworked room generation. In case you didn't know, Revitas enemy rooms are entirely computer generated, they aren't put together by hand. The idea being, that that would make for more unique rooms and overall just more room variety. However, I have heard from a lot of people that they feel like the rooms are a bit too boring or repetitive. Not even requiring things like wall jumps and overall just being pretty much empty square rooms with platforms in them.
So with that out of the way, I am happy to present some examples of the entirely reworked room generation that I have been working.
As you can see, the new system emphasizes interesting level layouts a lot more than the old one. Sometimes it even requires you to use the wall jump or gun jump to reach areas efficiently. This should make combat a lot more interesting and give you new and interesting ways to test your platforming skills, while also keeping runs overall more varied!
Hope this little preview of the new room generation system got you even more excited for the update, I certainly am. To end things off I'll leave you with a little teaser for something else coming in the update.
Curious isn't it? Well then, until next time! - Ben
