Hi everyone! I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has played the game and shared feedback, whether through reviews or directly to us. It has been an intense week and a half, but I believe we’ve taken the game to a new level. I hope you all enjoy the changes! Please let us know if you run into any issues or have further input over on our official Discord!
Lets get started on everything NEW!
The core of the feedback we received was about the gameplay loop itself. While our initial goal was a minimalistic, incremental experience, it became clear that players wanted something with deeper RPG mechanics.
To address this, we have increased the max level from 40 to 80. We’ve rebalanced the game so that reaching the level cap isn't strictly required to progress.
Levels are now much more impactful, and while thoughtful upgrading will help you move forward, it does not guarantees a win.
The next bit of feedback to address is gameplay itself.
We also wanted to address the "how-to" side of things. Unless you already have a solid understanding of tabletop games and D20 mechanics, the game could be a bit confusing. To help with this, I’ve added a Gameplay Book and a Rules section.
It explains the base mechanics. I’ll be expanding this as we go, but it should provide much-needed direction for new players.
We wanted to provide more detail on combat and your opponents. Once an enemy is defeated, you can now collect their card in the Bestiary.
Unlocking an enemy card also allows you to purchase a painted version of that monster's figurine using the new Monster Token currency earned in battle.
In the Story chapter, you can now view and track your achieved endings at any time.
The new Quest section allows you to track your in-game achievements. Completing a quest now lets you collect a new Dice Skin reward!
Having a D20 and not being able to swap it out felt like a crime against tabletop RPGs, so we’ve added several skins you can earn through the Quest section. To change your skin, simply click on the dice and use the arrows on either side of the name banner.
One area that felt a bit flat was the Event system. Previously, events lacked visual indicators unless you were watching the story panel closely.
We’ve added significantly more visual "weight" to events so you know exactly when you’ve triggered one or when you're rolling for an outcome.
We intend to add even more unique effects soon, but we wanted to get these improvements into your hands as quickly as possible.
Previously, if Auto-Roll was active during the endgame, it would breeze right through the finale. To ensure you get to experience the story properly, Auto-Roll will now automatically disable when it’s time to perform the final roll.
Now that this major update is complete, we'll be watching for your feedback to address any new issues that may have popped up.
During this phase, we'll be gearing up for the final major update. This will add more polish to the events and a few other mechanics that we think will add a little more fun to the game.
Thank you all for your time; we're looking forward to the next update!
