We're pleased to announce that our very first major content update is now live for everyone!
Additionally, we've bundled up with more excellent dice-powered indie gems and we're celebrating it all with a sale!
Our first major content update is here and introduces a whole new unlockable enemy faction: The Blobs!
The Blobs come in 12 different flavors, 4 different sizes (including a miniboss variant) and can appear in various combinations on any island, supporting its usual gang of hoodlums. Whilst they are slow to move, their splitting nature and various elemental effects will surely keep you on your toes!
This new enemy faction can be unlocked by completing a run on any difficulty and will be unlocked retroactively if you had already done so. Please note that, once unlocked, a new run is required for the blobs to appear (you can still continue your pre-update run without them though).
Added the 'Blobs' enemy faction as an unlockable content reward for completing your first run.
Added 13 new items.
Fire, Frost, Holy, Lightning, Poison & Void Bangles: Absorb a specific damage type and convert it to healing instead.
Stoneskin Potion: Gain shield.
Vampire's Diary: Regain 50% of all damage dealt as health.
Snowball: Thrown frost damage projectile.
Chilling Amulet: Become permanently chilled, but all melee attacks deal extra frost damage.
Cursed Doll: Gain the Shadow Curse action.
Void Orb: Gain the Void Blast action.
Void Wand: Gain the Void Bolt action.
Major rework of enemy spawning systems.
'Reported threats' icons in the island info panel now crossfade between different variants of the same unit instead of listing them all separately.
Igloos are now resistant to frost and vulnerable to fire.
Newly unlocked content will now trigger a popup in the main menu.
Removed overworld camera inertia, reducing motion sickness when moving around the map.
The game now defaults to max 60 FPS when settings are first initialized.
Mountain Villager can now throw snowballs.
Tweaked bloom settings.
Overworld nodes now more accurately represent the enemies that can appear within.
Ghosts are now resistant to void damage.
Fixed an issue where occasionally no enemies would spawn at all.
Fixed shop inventories not always properly carrying over from island to hub.
Fixed an issue where 'hurt' animations could interfere with cinematic animations.
Optimized some UI assets to improve performance.
Fixed Dobbie animation clipping.
Fixed some unit recycling issues.
Fixed enemies occasionally spawning too close to friendly units on battle start.
Fixed bonus objective system not accounting for enemy damage immunities.
Unlimited FPS option now limits max FPS to 240 instead of actual unlimited to avoid GPU overload.
Cleaned up debug logging, which might improve performance slightly across the board, particularly during level generation.
Fixed some VFX not scaling to fit multi-tile units properly.
Fixed action cam jank.
Fixed some background trees not fading in certain environments.
Fixed order-of-initialization issue with passives to ensure that immunity to (de)buffs takes precedence over potentially gaining those (de)buffs.
Fixed some incorrect 'inactive' skill icons.
Fixed Void Blast description reflecting enemy-only targeting.
Fixed incorrect projectile origin for thrown items on Blubber Pistoleer.
We're pleased to share that, in addition to our recently released bundle with Dice&Fold, we've also bundled with Dice A Million and Dice Gambit!
Whilst all of these excellent indie gems have integrated dice into their core gameplay, they each put a different spin on it, so make sure to check 'em all out!
Please note that the Dobbel Dungeon + Dice Gambit bundle will be available for a limited time only.
To celebrate this milestone, we're having a 15% discount for the next 2 weeks!
Happy Dobbeling!
