We are back again for another game changing update!
This time we are bringing you:
The Combat Update (Beta 0.11)
That's right, we are finally leaving stage Alpha after all these years. We are both excited and relieved to finally reach this point.
What's this update about?
Well it's about combat, you silly greenbeard! But let's get into the specifics.
Weapon Alt Attacks
Melee weapons now have alternate (secondary) attacks that can be used to help you in certain situations. Right now, swords have a jab attack which does extra damage, and axes do a really cool spin attack. Both weapons' alt attacks can also block/deflect arrows, as well as interrupt enemies (like a parry) to stop them from performing any attacks.
On mouse and keyboard, right mouse button is the default way to use alt attacks.
Armor Set Bonuses
Combine certain armor pieces to gain additional buffs. All main line armors in the game now have set bonuses to encourage you to complete the full set.
New Biomes And Armor Recipes
Several new biomes have been added to the game. Two on Layer 2. And a long waited Layer 1 biome: The Sinkhole Biome!
Various armor sets now require a new ingredient to craft that is found in specific biomes. This is to make biome and dungeon exploration more of a requirement to progress.
And Many More New Things!
If you wish to see more details on this update, please scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the full change log.
Now What About 1.0?
After many years of being in Early Access, we are finally approaching a complete game. We are happy to announce that our next update is going to be the Full Release of the game into 1.0
Our plan is to finally add Layer 3 to the game, give both Layer 2 and 3 a boss for you to fight, and solidify the progression from each layer to the next to create a complete and cohesive progression from start to finish. Along with many other much needed changes and additions to the game.
Our plan is to have this update out before Summer of 2026.
We're going to need all hands on deck to get this update out. Our team is really small, and this game is really big. But as we've said many times in the past, one way or another, we will get past that finish line, and we hope you are going to be with us when we do.
Thank you all!
