DEV UPDATE THANK YOU Thank you to everyone who has tried the demo and left feedback and bug reports. I’m really happy with where the game is at and am really looking forward to where it will be for the full release. DEVELOPMENT FOCUS The current focus is on making content for the full game and less on delivering demo updates and new features. I still plan on updating the demo with bug fixes and…
PATCH NOTES - v0.6.0 🎮 GAMEPLAY 🎮 · Glass and windows can now be shot through. The glass itself won't break or shatter, but bullets can now hit targets behind glass or windows · Enemies will now shoot through glass instead of trying to find unblocked line of sight if they see a target through a window or glass · The "switching weapon" action and the "use item" action are no longer blocked by…
PATCH NOTES - v0.5.1 🚨CRASHING UPDATE🚨 I updated the level initialization logic to hopefully help prevent crashes when loading into Ridge Town. This change causes the level to load incrementally over many frames instead of doing it all in the starting frame. I don't know the exact cause of the crashes quite yet, but I suspect it has to do with trying to load and initialize everything in the l…
PATCH NOTES - v0.5.0 · Slightly reduced sell price of valuable category items · Further reduced player movement speed when over encumbered · Added Hunting Store Back Storage Key Barter to level 2 Doc. Play a raid to have his shop refresh · Added an option to toggle on or off the enemy body bags when enemies die. If that part of performance isn't an issue for your PC, you can toggle this off to…
❗QUICK PSA❗ I'm aware of the crashes that sometimes occur when loading into a raid and I apologize for that happening. While I haven't identified the exact issue yet, I've taken steps to help identify where the problem might be. In order to gather this information, it requires the game to crash and then be re-opened for the game to send me the crash report. 🚨 If your game crashes, please re-op…
PATCH NOTES - v0.4.1 🎮 GAMEPLAY 🎮 · Added special Strongbox containers in all key rooms. Strongbox rarity scales with the rarity of the loot room. For example, a blue key room Strongbox will be better than a green key room Strongbox. Strongboxes are guaranteed to contain items, attachments, and gear of their matching rarity. Start farming those keys! · Made all containers in locked rooms guar…

PLAYTEST FINDINGS Thanks again for all the feedback from the most recent playtest. While the game is feeling good overall for most, there were still a few very prominent pain points that patch 0.3.0 should address. Let me know your thoughts on the changes.
