- PATCH - 1.3.8740 - 6 December 2023
This is a quick patch to address a few quality of life improvements relating to key re-mapping, controllers, and clarity of upgrade description text. Change Log 1.3.8740 December 6th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some quality of life changes in this update. We had some reports of the game not liking certain controllers. I think we've fixed that for certain controller types that we were aware of, but also if your controllers aren't working great you should be able to solve it by enabling Steam Input for the game. You can also report any issues you might be having with this in the Steam Forums for the game. D-pad support was added when playing with controller. A keyboard mapping was added for dodge roll (or whatever Active Ability you have equipped), the default is the Space key. This is obviously very handy when using auto-aim so you do…

Hi everyone! Since launch, being able to re-roll level upgrade choices has been once of the most requested feature updates, and we're super happy to say that it's finally here! Here is the full list of changes; Change Log 1.0.8588 July 7th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update fixes a few minor issues and rebalances a few things, and also adds a new Re-Roll permanent upgrade option.

- Reworked Tomb and Forest Zones - 20 June 2023
Hi everyone! As noted in the future plans section of our previous update, this update was all about reworking both the Tomb and Forest zones to fall more in line with the changes made to mansion last week, and to generally improve them as much as possible. Alongside the zone rework, we also implemented the feature to have right stick override auto-aim, as well as a unique enemy miniboss that only spawns to drop weapon evolution orbs when available. Here is the full list of changes; Change Log 1.0.8571 June 20th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the previous update there were a lot of buffs and fixes, and the addition of auto aim shook things up a bit. We only had time to rebalance and rework the mansion zone for the last update, so we weren't too happy with the state of the tomb and the forest. This update has been focused on cleaning u…
- The Auto-aim Option Update! - 10 June 2023
Hi everyone! As mentioned in out last update post, we've been working on adding an option to auto-aim, and it's now complete and good to go! Information as to how to enable/disable it can be found in the control guide on the title screen. Alongside adding auto-aim, we did a balance pass on the mansion zone enemy spawns. Our main goal was to even out the difficulty spike people were hitting around the 10 minute mark, and to generally make the ramp up of intensity a little smoother during the last 10 minutes. We also took onboard the feedback regarding item buffs and permanent upgrades not offering enough value or effectiveness, so we worked on improving this alongside the enemy spawn changes stated above. Here is the full list of changes; Change Log 1.0.8560 June 9th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main addition this week is the new A…
- PATCH - 1.0.8556 - 5 June 2023
This is a quick patch to fix a few specific issues that folks have been having this week: Change Log 1.0.8556 June 5th, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patched a few specific problems:- Wrong contact damage for a specific enemy Max weapon achievements weren't working when the weapon had been evolved in the same run Active Ability Orb wasn't showing in collection Current Plans We're currently working on smoothing out the current difficulty spike around 10 minutes in the mansion, and on the back half of that zone in general. We're focusing on the mansion for now, but will be taking a look at the other zones once we feel it's in a decent spot. We're also taking a good look at item buffs and permanent upgrades to hopefully make them more useful and appealing. Lastly, we're looking into the best way to add an auto-aim option as mentioned in th…
