Pixelords Demo Update (v0.1.8)

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello, this is BBokGames.

Here are the patch notes for v0.1.8.

Developer's Note

Hello.

This 0.1.8 update includes Trial difficulty adjustments, bug fixes, new blessings, and the temporary removal of the Relic system.

The Relic system was a permanent progression element in Pixelords, applied only to Expedition and Trial modes while excluded from Arena mode to maintain competitive fairness.

However, we concluded that a permanent progression element limited to specific modes could cause confusion for players, and we needed to reconsider what kind of growth structure Pixelords truly needs.

As a result, the Relic system is temporarily removed with this update.

Going forward, permanent progression elements will be re-evaluated in a way that does not compromise the fairness and gameplay flow of each mode.

Along with this, we've adjusted Trial difficulty, fixed discovered bugs, and added new blessings.

Thank you.
