Howdy all, I've had to spend a few weeks away from the computer this Summer, but I'm finally back with some small workshop related fixes. · Fixed a crash when adding workshop items to endless mode loadouts then loading the game with the mod disabled · Fixed a bug where selecting Attunement, then backing out before committing to an element resulted in a phantom mod being added to your equip pane…
Howdy all, Few small enhancements/bufixes here: · Improved save file handling to prevent memory_card.res corruption · Prevent a crash when memory_card.res is corrupted (falls back to backup or creates a fresh save) · Fixed a bug where pressing escape or B on P2's shop would cause a state desync · Adjusted the multiplayer camera to account for camera angle and improve visibility at the bottom of…
Howdy All, Big patch here! This adds 2 player local co-op as well as Steam Workshop support for modding. I'm working on some public documentation for modding, but please reach out on the Discord modding channel in the interim. In additional to local co-op I've brought in some new protocols. Each shell now gets a class specific protocol that offers opportunities to lean into certain builds or sw…
Small but important ones here, apologies for the patch spam. Overall things are looking stable given how much had to slide around for mods/co-op. Thanks all! · Fixed a bug where the Nova achievement wasn't correctly being tracked · Fixed a bug where pausing and unpausing during the "WAVE COMPLETE" message would start the timer prematurely in Arcade mode.
Apologies for this one, a nasty bug. Fixes a bug where certain achievements and unlocks weren't being tracked properly. Additionally, all steam achievements are now localized and the game now has a Chinese title & logo. Thanks all, Marvin Wizard
Howdy All, Big patch under the hood here. This has all of the infrastructure changes required for local co-op and modding. I just have a bit more QA to do before it goes live. Aside from that, there is a major update to how reroll gems work. They are now permanent, but their drop rate goes down every time you find one. Everyone who has already progressed through the game will be granted permane…
Howdy Everyone, Long time no patch. This is a small but important one, it fixes OpenGL for players on integrated graphics and hopefully makes the game a bit more accessible for low end systems. I also fixed an issue with the font used for simplified Chinese where the character 回 was not rendering correctly. I'll also be turning on launch options for Windows players to be able to easily launch v…
Howdy All, It's been 2 weeks since the last update, feels like a crime. Wanted to get a small one out with some important fixes. · Russian localization improvements for clarity around unlock criteria · Fixed a bug where firing many projectiles could cause some periodic flashing on the screen · Fixed a bug where the sword audio on Koenig would not fully mute when SFX were set to 0 · Continued pe…
Howdy All, Couple things to cover here. You may have noticed a few bundles on the Steam page now. Vampire Survivors was of course a large influence on the game, so it is really awesome to have them bundled with Vital Shell. And then BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT, another game harking back to times passed in a way tha…
Howdy all, Scary patch here, moving to my own fork of Godot. · Fixed a bug where repeatedly hitting B or escape would close the boss cutscene player and break pause functionality · Fixed various places where text was not localized · Normalized dithering, should no longer look chunky on small screens or washed out on large displays · Add German & Turkish Localization · Fix a variety of crashes a…

Few quick follow-ups to yesterday's patch. · Added Italiano localization · Removed a debug setting that was left in options · The border is actually black now in full screen Thanks all, Marvin Wizard
Howdy Everyone, I've been grinding this past week and some change on some new game modes. I have updated challenge mode, which is now more broadly Arcade Mode. It features 3 game types: Classic - Challenge mode as you know it today Weekly Challenge - Classic mode locked to a specific shell with 3 random modifiers applied, new shell and modifiers with every weekly reset Arena - A game mode for e…
Howdy everyone, Wanted to get a few QOL changes plus a Burn buff in before I lose power from this snowstorm. · Burn damage is now distributed across 3 ticks instead of 4 · Burn damage tick speed has been increased · The detail page for Volatile Shell now lists all bonuses granted, accessed by clicking the protocol on the equipment panel · Treasure Hunter now additionally awards a free reroll in…
Howdy all, Couple updates for the weekend. · Update Localization for Blood Temple, Missile Circus, and Spirit Bomb unlocks to use the language "as Meteor/Bloodfang/Sidewinder" to better clarify the unlocks must be performed playing as the respective shell · Alt + Enter now toggles between windowed and full screen mode · The game now launches full screen to help improve launch window behavior; t…
Morning everyone, I wrapped up class leaderboards last night and wanted to get this out. · Reduced the file size of the game icon which may prevent launch window issues on Windows · Added additional leaderboards for each Shell, these aren't backfilled so will require new runs to populate Very curious to see how the times shake out across each Shell. Thanks as always, Marvin Wizard
Couple small fixes this morning plus an initial pass over Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean localizations. These need to be QA'd by the translators, so I will hold off on adding the languages to the Steam page until they are considered finalized. · Fixed a bug where the Koenig achievement wasn't triggering if you've played the demo, should now trigger upon entering a level as…
Howdy everyone, Big patch here with some important fixes and balance updates. Bug Fixes · Fixed a gnarly bug where explosion crits were doing 0 damage (including Shifting Staff attacks) · The number of enemies spawned during Challenge Mode is now consistent · Fixed a bug where the Koenig achievement triggered upon launching the game · Fixed a bug where enemies could spawn burning · Fixed a bug…

Large scary patch here, with the goal of bringing more stability to various controller configurations. I wanted to save this for the weekend where I'll be able to triage issues more rapidly. · Improvements to Russian Localization · Base game font now supports cyrillic characters (should improve interface behaviors in Russian) · The game now attempts to listen to a single controller (fixes doubl…
Pushing more patches before going into work, like a crazy person. · Increased the grace period iframes after taking damage (could almost call this a bug as short as the window was) · Fixed a bug where rapidly activating Static Field or Aegis could consume a charge and trigger the cooldown without granting the effect. · Specials can now be continuously activated by holding the keybind, with the…
Morning All, Wanted to get some low hanging fixes and display options in before I head into the ol' day job. · Continued work on improving launch window behavior · Added vsync to display options (on by default) · Added FPS limit to display options (unlimited by default) · Adjusted audio output latency to (hopefully) improve some of the audio issues folks with USB audio devices were experiencing…
Howdy all, got another small one with a two important fixes. · Fixed a crash that was occasionally happening in the Game Guide · Fixed a bug where it was possible to double tap done on the resonance panel and double increment a wave I believe this is the last of the major crashes that I'm aware of. Going to start taking a look at some of the common quality of life requests and fixing smaller me…
Just a small patch for the weekend. I'm still focused on stability before making any larger changes. · Fixed a bug where potency devotions weren't correctly being applied · Fixed a bug where Memory Card profiles were showing 99% progress with all unlocks complete · Buff indicators now correctly wrap instead of extending off screen when more than 4 are active Going to catch up some sleep this we…
Yikes, Sorry everyone, I introduced a crash when adding the achievement check for the completed devotion. Wanted to get this patch out quickly to resolve the issue. The achievement will now trigger any time you hit the start screen, restart not required. Thanks to all who reported the issue, Marvin Wizard
Super tiny one here, but with two important fixes. · The game now correctly pauses when the steam overlay is triggered · Added a provisional guard rail to ensure victory triggers if the game gets into a state where the wave is over 20. Some players have reported getting stuck on "Wave 21" where the final boss is defeated and the clock just ticks forever. If anyone is able to share logs from bei…
A couple more small fixes I wanted to get in today. · Added some self-healing to the settings config for player's whose config got corrupt by the old bug. Auto attack and manual aim settings will be reset to defaults if bad values are detected. · Improved handling (hopefully) of launch window behavior for users with multi monitor setups. · The achievements for maxing out a devotion should now t…
