Hello everyone!
We mentioned in our last announcement that we were working on a new feature that would shake things up in your runs and hopefully add a lot more replayability too: Events!
For those who have access to the Beta build, we are happy to announce that you can now try them out! We hope you like them.
As we mentioned before, the events are currently somewhat limited but it is something that we want to build upon during Early Access as it greatly helps bringing the world of Hive Blight together.
For those who haven't gotten the chance to join the beta, don't worry, you'll be able to try them soon! Indeed, if you missed it previously, remember that the Early Access release is just around the corner. In just 3 weeks (March 9th!), you'll discover Hive Blight in its entirety!
If you hadn't seen the announcement trailer, here it is:
However, not having access to the Beta version doesn't mean that we have nothing for you!
As usual we've made a lot of balancing changes to the game but we also added a lot of visual improvements and quality of life features. You will, for example, now be able to save your current game so you can continue it later. Such a relief! You won't have to lose your god run because you have to leave or go to bed anymore!
You can check out all changes in the patch notes at the bottom!
Lately we have had the chance to be showcased by Gohjoe who has done a great job on introducing Hive Blight to his viewers! If you want to know what the game is all about, I can only urge you to check his video out! He explains it better than even I could.
The comments have been overwhelmingly positive and we can't thank you enough for this! Thanks to that, we will go into Early Access with renewed confidence and energy! You guys are great!
Anyway, without further ado, here is the full patch note. Enjoy!
