Hello Rabbits! I have temporarily returned from my post-DLC vacation with a handful of "calls to action", as they say in the biz. Today is the 2nd anniversary of the game launching, and we've got some new and returning merch to celebrate! But first.... That's right, not on some other social media, but right here on Steam! Steam recently added the ability to follow developers directly and get in…
Hello Rabbits! Kept you waiting, but the balance patch is finally here! If you're wondering why it took so long... I ended up changing a ton! I gathered quite a bit of detailed feedback from players about the abilities, so I was all too tempted to adjust basically every undesirable gem upgrade in the game. So, lots of buffs, and lots of competely retooled ability upgrades! In addition to having…
Hello Rabbits, I'm still working on the balance update! I was going to wait until I was done with it to update the game again, but I recently found a fairly critical bug that I wanted to fix ASAP. So, while I'm here, I might as well post a few advertisements. First, both vocalists who sung songs for the game have posted special videos of them singing them! Tera with Subterra Sanctum - Action! U…
- Added new unlockable Levitation Rings (Due to some changes to how trinkets work, the data for what trinket your character had equipped last play session needed to be erased. You will need to re-equip your favorite trinket when starting up the game after this update!) - Reduced Eternal Bloom's HP by about 10% - Removed butterfly dialog from all butterflies that show numbers above their heads a…
Hello Rabbits! How has the DLC been going? ...It's really really hard? I... I see! Would you believe me if I said I was actually trying to make it about the same difficulty as the base game...? Who knew those red circles could do so much damage. First order of business.... NEW PLUSHIES, AND A HOODIE!! Assassin Rabbit is now a collectable plushie, and returning hydrous blob Jellycat is available…
Hi rabbits; I intended for the previous hotfix to be the "last" one before I focused on a balance patch, but it turns out there were still so many bugs, I wanted to just put out one more patch. Though, I was already working on some other small things (like borderless fullscreen), which this patch also includes. I am aware that many people are still having performance issues. To be honest... I h…
Hi rabbits, I kept having to patch the game over and over, so I'm separating out the patch notes! Despite a lot of new content, there actually weren't too many changes to pre-existing loot or enemies. I did try to keep a log of everything, but it's entirely possible that I missed a few things. A lot can happen in a year! If you notice a few things in particular getting nerfed, sorry! There's so…
Thanks for your patience! And have fun! If you happen to find any bugs, the easiest way to inform me of them is in the Discord!! This is a free update, but if you really really want to give me money, please consider buying Extra Mode's Soundtrack! It should be available as I publish this post. And if you really really really really want to give me money, there will be some more merch coming out…
Hello Rabbits! It's been a few months! Just wanted to quickly make an update post, so as to not leave people completely in the dark as to the DLC's progress. I did say in some places that I wanted it out within the year no matter what , and it is currently December. Uh... it probably won't be coming out this month, sorry! The DLC is basically done, minus a few things here and there. The story i…
Hello Rabbits! I hope your September is going well! Mine has been pretty busy. I'm about 60% of the way through with boss fight work. Honestly, it's going a little slower than I envisioned it would. ...Well, I guess the whole DLC has (since I think I said "late summer" at some point) but that's neither here nor there. I'm trying to have the DLC done mid-November-ish, but we'll see how that goes…
Hello Rabbits!! I return to your Steam Library news feed to bring you DLC progress updates. And gifs! And screenshots! And teasers! ...Okay, that's not the only reason. I've also got... And not just one... but three! The iconic Wizard Rabbit with her iconic hat and iconic scowl! Her hair is super super floofy, which makes for a very satisfying squishing and hugging experience. By very very very…
Hello rabbits!! It's been a hot minute since I wrote a real dev blog. The last one was in... uhh was it really December...? Gosh, I need to make these things more often. I've been drawing! Mostly game assets for the DLC, but some other things as well. I now have all of the character and enemy animations for the DLC done. I also have all the playable character abilities and upgrades done; which…
Hello Rabbits! No proper dev blog this month; sorry! I've been doing lots of fun things; like going to Magfest, getting very sick from going to Magfest, and also moving house IRL. I have been making some progress on the DLC though! All of the background stages are now complete, and all of the design sketches for new enemies and classes are done. After this post I will enter "art hell"; doing no…
Hello Rabbits! The seasons continue to turn, and it is now almost winter in the Northern Hemisphere. What that means for you depends on where you live. Maybe you're somewhere where all the normal monsters are replaced with slightly stronger ice variants. As for me, I'm hard at work at Rabbit & Steel's DLC! For those who've missed me talking about it before; I am, infact, working on a content up…
Hello Rabbits! Steam Award nominations are underway.... Wouldn't it be cool if some game about rabbit girls got one? ..."Game of the Year" might be a bit of a longshot (although people have told me Rabbit & Steel is their GOTY, thank you!) But, maybe we can nab the "Better With Friends" Award! If you've had fun with friends playing Rabbit & Steel, maybe consider it!
Hello Rabbits, Back from vacation with a small update full of fixes. If your mods aren't perfectly aligned with the lobby you join, you should crash less. I'm not sure I've fixed every possible issue, but that's hard to know with something as flexible as mods. - Character skins now have a per-class icon that replaces the palette's face. In addition, instead of showing the replaced palette in ch…
Hello Rabbits! It's been a hot minute, but it's here! The Steam Workshop Update is now live to all players. You can make... Custom Items!! Character Skins!! (You could technically do this before, but now it's on Steam Workshop!) Custom Boss Fights!! ...And share them with the world!! To be honest, this took me a lot longer than I thought it would. Within the game, all of these are just data in…
Hello Rabbits, I've made some progress on Mod Support; and have some other updates! First, some excellent news! You can now purchase a Heavyblade Rabbit Plush! (Assuming you didn't already get one by pledging before). From the raiding roguelike RABBIT & STEEL comes THE Rabbit with THE Steel! Features ribbons, rabbit ears, an innocent smile, and a giant sword that solves all of her problems. Ava…
Hello Rabbits, Small update with some bug fixes and new languages, courtesy of some people in the Discord! Rabbit & Steel now has a Korean translation by A1NVERSE, and a Ukrainian translation by Arficord! Before the patch notes, some development status updates: Mod Support: I've got a system for modding in Animations (to a greater extent than just replacing sprites) and Loot Items. But, a lot o…
Still on psuedo-vacation, but I've gotten quite a few bug reports, and it'd be easier to relax knowing that they aren't issues. Most of the things on here and pretty small, and didn't take much effort to fix. 1.0.3.4 Patch Notes - To prevent rounding errors, the calcuations for item strength has been very slightly adjusted. For instance, in the case that an ability did 99 damage, and you had a…
Hello Rabbits! The Toybox Mode is finished! It's in the Extras, and becomes available when you've unlocked all playable characters and item sets. You can play with the Toybox both alone, in local co-op, and online! Everything should work exactly the same as a normal run. It even has it's own public lobby listing separate from the main game, though I don't really expect it to get much use. It's…
Fix some bugs, cause a few more! - Fixed issue where Vanish, when given to you by another player, wouldn't ever break - Fixed issue where the Art Gallery was extremely slow to load if you had your framerate set to uncapped, or were playing with vsync on - Fixed issue where, in Matti's first summoning phase during multiplayer Hard or Lunar, defeating certain adds wouldn't erase their patterns
Hello Rabbits! I was originally going to wait until the Toybox Mode was also done to update the game. The Art Gallery... I'm sure some people will get something out of it, but it's mostly for my own sake, to look back on the game's development within the game itself. It isn't exactly a huge piece of content that will excite everyone. But... the bug reports have slowly piled up over time. A lot…
Hello Rabbits! Small bit of news today. I'm running a petition on Makeship to create a Heavyblade Rabbit plushie! If you've never seen a Makeship campaign before, here's how it works: We'd need 200 pledges before June 11th for the plush to be made. To pledge, you put forward $2 initially, and if the plushie is made and shipped, you'll be charged the remaining amount, and have your own miniature…
The balance update is here! Wizard rabbit is playable! The story is now in Chinese as well! Yay! 向等待的中国玩家致歉！ 故事现已在游戏中展开。 1.0.1.0 Patch Notes The Haste status effect now moderately increases movement speed. Luck Potion - Text corrected from "significantly" to "slightly"; this was always the case, but the text was just wrong. Eaglewing Charm - Added significant movement speed increase Metronome B…
Even more bug fixes, plus a few features that will help mitigate some ongoing issues. There's really just one thing in here that was critical enough for me to do another hotfix, can you tell what it is? I also have some other good news for Chinese players; the Chinese translation of the story is reportedly almost finished. Hopefully I can get it into the game soon. Thanks for your patience! Sor…
Hey, rabbits! ...Wow, there are a lot more of you than the last time I wrote a blog post! It's been a whirlwind of a week for myself, a number of amazing happenings set against a haze of hotfixing bug after bug after bug. There's still more bugs, by the way. There were 5 more reported in the Discord just while I was writing this post. I guess a lot of things can go wrong when your game runs ove…
