It's no secret to anyone that Winter Sale is coming up on Steam. Many, many games are going on sale. I am not going to say which game is going on sale, but a certain game is going on sale this Christmas 😉. So keep your eyes peeled.
I am theoretically not allowed to talk about the Winter Sale, like it's an industry secret? Everyone knows about it, though, and I'm not releasing any specifics.
Bugfixes
- Changed Omnicrown so it no longer goes out of screen (thus causing the player to not be able to close the popup) - Fixed Tooth of Insomnia not being consumed when entering the Somnium - Fixed the King vs Marceline event appearing in runs even after you defeated either of them - Fixed the Captain Stashton fight showing you the same cutscene multiple times - Fixed a VFX remaining on the screen when using Barrel and Ice Cube - Also fixed Barrel and Ice Cube positioning bugs - Updates
Monster Balance Changes
Updated some of the Tier 3 monsters; they should now be a little more challenging to fight (improved defenses for Wraith, Zombie Peasants, Driders, Spine Skulls, and Crystal Golems and for the final boss).

Small Updates and Mobile Anouncement
Hello!
Today I bring a small, quality of life update and news about the porting of Tilefinder to mobile.
Mobile Porting
I am finishing setting up the Google Play App and will release it to Early Access as soon as possible!
I have thought about the pricing and monetization of it for quite a while and I have reached a conclusion: Tilefinder will be free* with ads for Android.
The Android version will be called Tilefinder: Roguelike RPG and will be a slightly lighter version of the PC one. The PC release of Tilefinder will always have priority over the mobile one. The PC version will also have PC-only exclusive features and will receive updates faster and more frequently.
Patch Notes
- Finishing the tutorial no longer redirects you to the menu. It immediately starts a new run (people thought the tutorial was the whole game...) - Item rarity glows should now be more visible - Fixed some UI issues - Fixed some typos
Do let me know what you think about the mobile release and, as always, hit me up as soon as possible if you encounter any issues with this update since I modified some of the client infrastructure to accommodate future mobile features.
Cheers! Dave
Looking For Your Ideas!
Hello, everyone!
I'm looking for more ideas on anything game-related! Reply to this thread or talk to me on Discord if you got any cool ideas!
There hasn't been an update in a while, since I've been working on porting the game to mobile and translating it.
That's all for now!
Cheers, Dave
Update 2022-09-01 (Silence, UX, Bugfixes)
Hello, everyone!
Here are the patch notes for the current update:
Silence!
Many enemies are now affected by Silence (not being able to cast spells). Silence interrupts magic spells being cast and prevents some spells. To offset this, some enemies (mostly bosses) are now immune to Silence. Enjoy!
Quality of Life
- Good spells no longer display the "!" (friendly fire) indicator - Updated several UI elements
Bugfixes
- Fixed special spells being offered when not supposed to - Fixed green spikes wrong height offset - Fixed rewards screen sound effects not working properly - Fixed units remaining crouched if their spell was interrupted - Fixed some wrong icons for certain items
Let me know as soon as you find a bug!
Cheers! Dave
Update 2022-08-24 (UX, Boss Rework, Many Bugfixes)
Hi!
In the past week I've been working on identifying the most frustrating bugs in the game and I managed to fix 4 causes of crashes! This is all thanks the all the people who have reported these crashes and bugs!
So, keep it up! Whenever you find a bug or crash, send it to me ASAP with a screenshot and a log file, which can be found in the game folder/Assets/Data/Logs and pick the latest log file, corresponding to your gameplay session that crashed.
Without further ado, here's the update:
Update 2022-08-24:
Something Dark Looms Over the Fields...
Pumpzilla is awakening. I reworked the first phase of the first boss since it was the first one I ever made and the design was a bit outdated. I feel like it should be a much smoother experience now. Also, I slightly changed the dialogue of Pumpzilla to make room for the next update, which will contain a more detailed Pumpzilla lore interaction! (one of the next updates)
Shiny Items!
Reworked the sheen of the item rarity. Items now have a brand new shining which is much easier to see and more pleasing to the eyes!
Bug Fixes and Other
- Fixed a crash happening when enemies died from fire, toxic fog or similar traps - Fixed a crash caused by faulty Pumplings code - Fixed a crash caused by faulty Molotov Peasant code - Tomes are now not usable in combat, as was intended. By extension, fixed a crash caused by using tomes in combat. - Fixed Unholy Revival not being usable - Adjusted some UI and Traps - All Spike Rush spells (Evil Paprikas, Driders, etc) now deal DARK damage
Cheers! Dave
Update 2022-08-18 (QoL, Bugfixes)
Greetings!
You guys have reported tons of bugs this week! But fret not, I have fixed most of your requests!
Damage Type Icons
Spell descriptions now have icons for damage types! That should make descriptions a bit easier to read and understand damage types at a glance. I will add more of these in the future!
UX
- All enemies now display their mana (if they have mana), regardless if you have a Mage on your team - Adjusted the Silenced effect to end on turn end instead of the next turn start - Adjusted the position of several traps - Adjusted some misplaced UI parts - Adjusted Fox and Mage misplaced in the turn order UI
Other
Added a new Mage spell, Flame Dagger, which scales with DAMAGE.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an error caused by Mermaids' Charm spell - Fixed some things missing icons - Fixed some tiles remaining red at the Blessed Children boss fight - Fixed pirates overlapping at the Captain Stashton boss fight - Fixed dialogue options going out of the screen at the Natas event - Fixed Bloodbaths not disappearing when stepping on them - Fixed Helm of Evolution accidentally upgrading ALL items of that type in the game - Fixed some typos or strange spellings
As always, let me know as soon as possible if you encounter bugs!
Cheers! Dave
Update 2022-08-10 (UI, UX, Bugfixes)
Hello, adventurers!
Here are the patch notes for the latest update.
UI
- Improved the UI by giving the X button a cute little box of its own :) - Added a checkbox for toggling auto-equipping spells. - All player units should now appear grouped together in the combat order UI.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue with the Golden Shrine not recalculating upgraded item stats for the character - Fixed special spells binding at the Lecture Table. This should fix some crashes. You can now make Fiery Presence permanent, but not Soul Drain. Also, you can't make Tuberculosis permanent. You sicko... - Fixed a bug allowing any character to equip any spell - Fixed a bug with rewards after combat giving duplicate items - Fixed a bug causing some special spells to appear as loot rewards (e.g. Summon Candle, Tuberculosis) - Fixed elemental resistances causing characters to have 100% or more elemental weaknesses (no wonder people were getting 1-shot)
Other
- Moved the knight a little lower so you can properly see his chat bubble in the rescue mission. - Added an extra check for flipping sprites. Hopefully, we won't see any more images being locked in the middle of the flipping animation
As always, let me know when you find any issues! I try to fix all of them as quickly as possible!
Cheers! Dave
Update 2022-08-07 Hotfix
Hi!
This is a crash that used to happen when you had auto-end turn enabled and used all your resources to kill the last enemy. This would cause the game to crash (essentially because the game tried to end the turn twice #programming).
Hope it's the last we've seen!
Cheers! Dave
PS: Let me know if the game is a bit laggier now, I added extra logs. If it's too laggy, I'll fix it in the next update!
Update 2022-08-03 (Friendly Fire Warning, QoL, Bugfixes)
Hello, fellow party killers!
Today, I bring some interesting new updates and, as always, lots of bug fixes!
Friendly Fire Warning
You asked for it, you received it! You will now have an indicator displayed when targeting a spell if there is an allied unit in the way. Hopefully we will see fewer fox deaths after this update.
Quality of Life Updates
- Improved various UI elements - Renamed "Quit Run" to "Give Up" - Reworked healing after death: your character is now healed to 20% of max HP; previously, it split the remaining HP of the other character evenly among both characters. The new mechanic is more intuitive. - Polished some aspects of the game a little bit.
Balance
- Ranger's Shoot Arrow now deals 50% less damage at point-blank (at range 1).
Bugfixes
- Fixed some crashes in the inventory - Fixed resistances/amplifications not being saved on the characters - Fixed some special items appearing as regular loot - Fixed combat sometimes not ending when enemies died - Fixed Highwaymen still being FEARFUL - Added some extra logging and code guards so the the game crashes less. If the game doesn't behave properly, there are now extra logs to properly identify the issue.
Cheers, all! Dave
