TLDR: A lot of feedback has been about traversal and obstacles in the new act. To improve that, we have drastically reduced the obstacle colliders of the trees and the player collider, as well as improving light sources.

We’re shipping a fast patch to address some issues that quickly became apparent, so let’s go over them: Difficulty: Firstly, elite minions weren’t properly tested. Elite minions and variations (lightning, rupture, freeze) were added very close to the release. The game was largely balanced before they were finalized and with them the act became very overtuned. We also don’t track any metrics on…

Welcome to the last dev log before our Act II update. We’ll be pausing them to focus on delivering quick updates and bug fixes, but we plan to bring them back down the line. In the meantime, we’ll be using the patch notes to share changes, as most of the dev work will go straight into the game. For today, here are two new blessings from our upcoming Earth Goddess Ninh: Thank you all for reading…
We are proud to be a part of the triple-i initiative! And if you have already seen the showcase, you know that we just revealed something really exciting — talent trees! …But first, the new goddess: Ninh, Goddess of Earth The World Peak is the highest point in the mortal realm, crossing the border between men and gods.

Welcome to Death Must Die dev log #5! Today, we want to reveal the upcoming changes to our Darkness system. Currently, you can crank up the difficulty to 30, in order to get better loot. This has been great for most people, but we have some hardcore players that still need more challenge! So, while Darkness 30 will still give max item drops, for those players that truly want to test how far the…
Welcome to Death Must Die dev log #4! Lets get straight to some of the new map encounters: Now, for the new hero - Lorien: While his sister, Merris, enjoyed the liberty of endless days in the grand library, Lorien was shaped by a strict regimen. He spent every morning training with famed warriors and the evenings under the tutelage of the realm's most esteemed wisemen. This contrast between the…
Welcome to Death Must Die dev log #3! Today we want to focus on game design and balance, namely how we are improving build variety in the upcoming Act II update. The problem we posed last week is that Attack-based builds are currently inferior to spell-based builds. It’s easier to visualize it, when we look at the hierarchy of stats in the game: At first glance, the tree looks balanced. Attacks…
Welcome to Death Must Die dev log #2! Since last week was more technical, this time we want to switch it up and talk about game design. Releasing into early access has been great for collecting player feedback and identifying common problems with the game. We identified a cluster of problems around the main attack. Namely: · Attack movement penalty - this is probably the single biggest complain…
Hello everyone. We are still about a month off from releasing the Act II update, but we want to start sharing some of what we’ve been doing behind the curtains. Some of you are asking why the update is taking so long and that’s a fair question to ask. We wanted to scale the game to become more than it currently is, and so we didn’t want to just reskin the old act or simply add more content of t…
Bugfixes Passive hp regen is now properly affected by various heal bonuses. Player can no longer escape enclosure with lightning dash (or at least I've made it more difficult, I'm sure you'll figure something out). Fixed bug with conflicting map object and level up menu... again. Item comparison tooltip now has a border that corresponds to the rarity of the currently equipped item. Fixed issue…
