That’s it for the demo. But work on Lootbound is far from over. We see your reviews. We read your feedback. We’re paying close attention to what you enjoyed and what still needs work. And we’re already preparing the next update . There are plenty of changes, balance adjustments, improvements, and fixes ahead, many of them directly based on what you’ve been telling us. Thank you to everyone who…
We’ve been closely following your feedback , and we know that randomness has been a common pain point for many players. We’ve made the item selection mechanic more fair and predictable . You can now choose to get one common reward , or roll the dice and take a risk for a chance to get something better 🎲 We’ve also rebalanced Difficulty II , making it slightly more challenging to better match t…
We’ve gone through your feedback. We adjusted the balance. Tweaked the bosses. Shipped a patch. But there’s still one very serious problem . Far too many of you have been asking: ‘Why do the Lootbound characters keep staring right at me?’ Alright..... It’s time to reveal a secret screenshot from development :3 Now you know what our heroes look like from behind ;) Jokes aside, we got surprisingl…
We’ve been reading your feedback since launch and quickly noticed one recurring theme: the balance was harsher in places than we intended . So we didn’t want to wait and put together a quick patch. If you already have Lootbound installed, now is a great time to update the game and jump into another run. BALANCE • Reduced the power of bosses and elite enemies , primarily by lowering their health…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ That is it. We pressed the long-awaited "Release App" button. After two years of development Lootbound is finally out . It feels a little strange to write these words today because not long ago we were discussing the first concepts, redesigning characters, arguing about balance and changing things ten times over that already seemed finished. An…
No more “10 days left,” “5 days left,” or “coming very soon.” We won’t have to make another countdown post after this one :) In the image above and below, we’ve gathered the launch times for different regions , so find your time zone and set your alarm. We’re finishing the last preparations, and your only job now is to get ready for your first run. Thank you to everyone who made it here with us…
It feels like the countdown suddenly started moving way too fast. Lootbound launches in just 3 days. We’re busy with the final preparations, last checks, and the usual pre-launch chaos... Your job is a little easier. Decide how your first run is going to start. Going straight for the strongest build you can make? Trying everything just to see what happens? Or picking the first cool-looking item…
Guys, are you ready? There are only 4 days left until Lootbound launches . We are almost there.
