- New Loading Screen to skip bugged autosaves - 15 January 2025
You can now skip the automatic loading of the previously saved game. This might be neccessary if your game is for some reason broken and you need to access the main menu again. Of course, bugs shouldn't occur but it always helps to have an option :-)
- Only five? Five already! - 12 January 2025
Lootbox is a niche product and was born out of the need to have a casual dungeon crawler to hand when the bus journey gets too boring. I used it to fulfil my desire to collect XP and items and develop my player character - without perma-death and without real-time elements*. Since the game became available for PC and macOS, five people have left a review for Lootbox on Steam and I would like to thank them very much. Every single player is important to me and every reaction to my game - be it positive or negative - is an incentive for me to continue providing good support. Who knows, maybe the game will even break the 10-review barrier at some point! Until then, I'll keep working on the next update. P.S. Tip: in ‘hard mode’ many creatures have additional new loot. (* there are two real-time elements: 1. each level respawns after 10 minutes, 2. when mining ore, the real time is used to ca…

- v2.0 - the slightly different kind of Early Access - 12 June 2024
We are about to release version 2.0. It will take a few months until all the content is complete, but I still have the capacity to integrate your ideas and wishes into the game. What do you like so far, what don't you like so much, what would you like to change and what would you like to see integrated into the game? Give me your feedback - just click on the speech bubble below this message and you can join the discussion. Version 2.0 will unlock the second chapter for Lootbox RPG. Now that your ma is back home, the question is whether Pa has gone a little overboard with his call to arms! Can you smooth things over and help his magnificent unholiness back on the right path? Many new cards, many new items, new spells, new game mechanics and new Minions await you! Best regards Mario Lootbox RPG Developer

- Lootbox Toolbox - 17 May 2024
Ever wondered how the content is created for a game - at least for my game? Internally I am using a SQLITE Database, which can easily be modified by a tool like "DB Browser for SQLite". But it cannot easily show the relations between items, enemies and scripts. WARNING! HEAVY SPOILERS AHEAD! The following screenshots will show you not only my content tool, but of course content. That means you will see enemies, items, spells and other things that you probably haven't discovered yet in the game! If you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading. So... what is part of my everyday work when being busy with Lootbox? For example, I need to check if an item is on any loot table, e.g. can actually be found in the game: And on the other hand, I need to check what items a creature can drop - important for balancing out everything: Keeping track of game variables is also important - when is a script…

- Lootbox now has an official Wiki! - 12 March 2024
By popular demand, I have written a script that transfers all known spells, items and creatures to a wiki. You will find all items with their most important stats, all spells with their runes and all creatures with their combat stats as well as their loot tables. And yes - the loot chance is included. Enjoy! And feel free to discuss the wiki. Of course you can register for free and help improving it further. Here it is: https://wiki.lootbox-rpg.com kind regards Mario

Access it from your character screen, Icon in the upper right.

Silver chests may contain a gold key (also dropped by creatures). On every 5 levels of a dungeon there is a golden chest which requires a gold key. Gold chest loot is better than silver chest loot.
