Update 1.27e Fixing Some Piracy Issues
Its not fun, or sexy, but it had to be done. I have seen a pretty large piracy push on the game, and I needed to close some of the holes that allowed for it.
If you guys have any problem logging in, then please let me know and I will get them fixed within the day.
Right now I am just checking with steam to see if you own the game, nothing more.
Provided this works then I will be back to work on improving the game tomorrow :)
Update 1.27d Improvements and Re-balancing
I got some UI improvements, bug fixes, and re-balancing for you all today. All of this come straight out of the forums... So if you like something, or don't like something, make sure to let me know. Where as most of this was on my list of things to do, I work to prioritize things partially based on what you guys want.
Notes:
- Spirit has been completely reworked, in the early game you should now have more regen, but at high amounts of spirit you should have less regen. I will be keeping an eye on this, but it feels better to me currently. Please feel free to add your input in :)

- moved menus around a bit in order to have them not overlap while all open :)

The Fuse Items section of the Enchanter's shop is now availible. I will take in 3 items and create a new item of above the combined average level, and of between the min and max rarity of the items put in. This process destroys enchants.
And a bunch of bug fixes.

Update 1.26 Achievements and Pylemris
We got achievements, and our last boss here. We also have more mobs (Zombies), and a few more story chunks!
Pylemris is a zombie boss and has become our floor 10 boss, we did this because we think the moving the Klopo fight back will allow users to have 5 more talent points (on average) and more of a chance to gain gold in order to have more skills before the Klopo fight. So to recap, all bosses from 10-30 have moved back 5 floors, and Pylemris is now the floor 10 boss.
Skills:
- Bash
- Shadow Bolt
- Slam
- Siphon Health
Mobs:
- 2 Zombies (see below)
- 2 Zombie Mages (see below).
New Mob:
Zombie, the Zombie shows up right away in the game.
Skills:
- Bash
- Siphon Health
- Slam
New Mob:
Zombie Mage, the Zombie Mage shows up right away in the game.
Skills:
- Siphon Health
- Shadow Bolt
- Darkness
Notes:
- Achievements! We have one for each boss, and also for looting epics. More will come with time, but at least the system is now in place.
- New Boss: Pylemris - Has Bash, Shadow bolt, Slam, and Siphon Health. This is a first draft just like all the rest, we will be doing 2nd passes on all the bosses soonish.
- New Mob: Zombie - Has Bash, Siphon Health, and Slam.
- New Mob: Zombie Mage - Has Shadow Bolt, darkness and Siphon Health.
- New Paladin Skill (Talented): Seal of Light, places a debuff on the target that returns 5% of the damage done to the mob back to the attacker for 3 turns.
- New Paladin Talent: Improved Seal Of Light, Seal of Light will now return 1% more damage as health.
- New Paladin Talent: Lasting Light, Seal of Light will now last 1 more turn.
- Space Bar now opens doors (it has a keybind you can change it to whatever you want).
- Fixed a super rare bug with mob targeting.
- Fixed a bug in Holy Missiles that allow it to be cast multiple times per turn...
- Fixed a bug in the minimap where the stairs did now show up properly.
- Fixed a bug for Ryaavaku that caused the game to crash.
- Fixed a bug for Ryaaksus that caused the game to crash.
- Text for the story slides flows a bit better now.
- Added Story Chucks for Pylemris (they are 9-11, so they pushed other ones back, this will not happen again sorry if this ends up confusing).
- Some mob portraits have been improved (more coming soon).
So its a big update, let me know if anything is not working, and I will get it fixed. We are launching in 2 days! Because of that tomorrow will just be bug fixes (and maybe some minor stuff), I want to make sure the game is as stable as possible for the launch...
Lastly:
Please add the "Zombies" and "Dragons" tags to the game!
Update 1.25 Release Date, and Pally stuff!
We are happy to announce that the game will be leaving Early access on July 21st! We said in our Early Access summery that we planned to be in Early access for 3-4 months and that time has come to an end (in that time we have now posted 55 updates to the game, which we are super proud of), and we want all of you to know we keep our word... Combine that with the fact that we have completed all of our original goals with the game (actually much more than the starting goals), and we believe it is time to call it a "Finished" game. That being said the development will go on for a long time :)
We have a huge list of things that you guys have asked for, and we will be working for the foreseeable future to add tons of new things as time goes on. A few examples of these are more dungeon features, destructible environment pieces, secrets, more themes, more classes, more skills, more mobs, more things to spend signets on, consumable items, and the list goes on and on. So don’t feel like development is over!
Todays Patch:
Got some Paladin stuff for you today (I got one more skill for the pally coming soon). As well as arrows in the talent screen, some new background music, and a few bug fixes.

- Fixed a bug where Paladins could equip a staff.
- I did some work on Saving of the settings file's in order to try to fix a bug. I spent quite a bit of time testing it, but let me know if you guys seen anything un usual...
Lastly we are 1% away from getting to a "Very Positive" rating on steam. So with our launch coming in one week, now would be a great time to post a review of the game if you have been holding off :) Being in the very positive range will help us tremendously, and we would be very grateful for your help getting there!
