After a bout with burnout - I'm back and at it. In this patch you can expect a whole visual overhaul (including optimizations), as well as an overhauled loot chest experience!

Summary It's been a while! I've been making new content, and QoL changes. I figured it's time to update the demo. Here's the deal, though. I recently moved, things have been chaotic. I've also transitioned to a new source control, so I lost some history. As such, these patch notes are probably incomplete. I put in as much as I could remember, but I vaguely recall rebalancing quite a few things,…

Important Note If you have any Pendulum Axes placed down in a save, you should sell them and rebuild them. They received a major overhaul in this update. Summary The Pendulum Axe has been reworked. This trap was the least used trap - for a good reason. It wasn't reliable, and rarely felt like it was hitting when it mattered. It has been overhauled to intentionally strike at enemies as they pass…

It's almost demo time! I've been hard at work for the past few months improving the visuals and gameplay of the game based on feedback received from the alpha playtest back in July/August.
