Hi Everyone!👋

We've got a couple more combat changes for you, along with fixes to make aiming more fun and consistent!


What's new in combat?

  • Attacks now slow you down. Molokhia's hammer slows him down more than a sword would, and Sprout needs to stop to fully aim his pistol shots!

  • Players now use a sideways and backwards walk animation as needed, this can be seen if you're attacking in one direction and moving in another.

  • Melee attack VFX is now projected out by the equipped weapon's attack range, allowing easier judging of distance.

  • Players now change direction for movement and aiming instantly, instead of being restricted by interpolation.

  • Controller players can now aim with the right stick.


What else is new?

  • The boss room is now filled with mysterious fog!

  • A resume button was added to the gameplay pause interface.


Bug fixes

  • Switching two keybinding no longer activates both actions when used.

  • Player names are now sanitized, so you can't increase your name's font size until it takes up the whole screen anymore.

  • Fixed a missing pixel on your health bar when you're at full health.

  • The fountain no longer double shows your healing amount.

  • The maintenance screen, which is only shown while the infrastructure is being updated for a build, now allows you to interact with the quit, Discord, and Steam buttons.


What's next?

We're giving the game VFX a consistency pass! Let us know if there's any effects that look out of place and could use adjustment, or any effect you think we're missing.

Please share your thoughts on Discord and follow us on social media: https://linktr.ee/ballardgames

In-game event27 Aug 2026Aug 26 Game UpdateHey everyone, Three big ones this week: every item now has a weight, weapon and shield stats have been rebuilt, and the HUD got a serious pass. Heads up before you read on: we had to wipe everyone's inventories with this update. More on that at the bottom. Everything Has a Weight Every item you pick up now has a weight, and carrying more slows you down. One point of weight is one percent slower…In-game event12 Aug 2026Aug 12 Game UpdateA Big One (Mostly Because There's a Lot of It) Hey everyone, This update is large, not because any single change is massive, but because there's a lot packed in here. New relic, nameplates, item rarity rework, and a long list of smaller fixes and improvements. This one's a bit of a crazy update behind the scenes too: 24 bugs and features shipped, and at least two nights where the team was up un…In-game event5 Aug 2026Game update: Aug 5Hey everyone, Smaller update this time around, but a few of these are things you've been asking for. Boss health bar, better item info, and the dungeon just got a little less predictable. Boss Health Bar When you're in the boss room, you can now see how much health the boss has left. No more guessing whether you're about to finish the fight or whether you're still nowhere close. Item Rarities a…
