• Early Access v0.8 - 22 November 2024

  Howdy everyone, it's been a minute. Life happened but now I'm back working on this, there are probably a few miscellaneous fixes that I've forgotten about since the last patch but here is everything that I can remember / have worked on recently: CHANGELOG Adjustments =============== - Volumetric Fog has been removed for now. The performance cost was very high, and in many cases I felt it visually did not contribute very much. - Scripting backend changed to IL2CPP. This should not change much for players but hopefully will help us squeeze a little more performance out of the engine. Balance ================== Trench Gun: Reload Time: 1.5s => 1.2s Clip Size: 6 => 8 Fire Rage: 1s => 0.66s Bug Fixes ============ - Fixed shadows not appearing in several instances - Priest abilities should work again - Fixed several instance where runes could disappear - When placing a rune of the same type o…

• Early Access v0.7 - 10 April 2024

  As of 0.7 the other 2 character classes are completed! This brings the pool up to 4 unique classes, each with kits suited to their own playstyle. I am looking to add some polish in-game to make class info a little more accessible, so that players can really get the most out of their choices. CHANGELOG NEW STUFF ============== The Gunslinger Abilities Called Shot: Mark all enemies in a rectangular area, then summon a phantom revolver to shoot all nearby marked enemies Double Up: Summon a phantom revolver for 12 seconds that shoots nearby enemies when they take damage (Passive) Quick Clear: Gain a stacking reload speed buff for each hit. Lose all stacks when missing a shot. The Wanderer Abilities Shoulder Check: Dash a fixed distance, colliding with any enemy enemies will stop dash and deal AoE damage Unleash: Gain a large boost to movement speed, melee attack speed, and melee damage. Con…

• Early Access v0.6.1 - 3 March 2024

  Today is a minor update that changes up some of the tile layouts as well as adding a new weapon type: staves. CHANGELOG NEW STUFF ====================== Mana Staff Fires a concentrated beam of mana. Rather than consuming bullets, this weapon consumes mana to fire! Tile Updates I wanted to add more verticality and choke points to existing tiles, and have added some obstacles and bridges to the map to reflect this AI Changes To accomodate the above, AI have gained the ability to clamber, just like you BALANCE ====================== - Mana Potions drop much more frequently early on, losing drop rate over time FIXES ====================== - Removed physics sim from most bullet types as it was unneeded. This drastically reduces CPU load in the chaotic late-game. - Fixed passives sometimes being applied twice on controller

• Early Access v0.6.0 - 13 February 2024

  Hello! I have been very busy with personal life stuff the last couple of months but I am finally back in the saddle and happy to announce the release of West of the Witchland's first significant new system! Two new NPCs have been added to the main camp each with their own function. With the foundation for camp NPCs set up I am excited to add more dialog and depth to the existing characters as well as add new ones in the near future. CHANGELOG NEW STUFF ============ New NPCS! Chef An uncorrupted Gnoll saved from the wastes, players can pick foods off of his rotating menu to obtain per-run stat buffs Gunsmith An ex-bounty hunter turned smith, she keeps track of the firearms you've discovered, and with enough use of them can improve their handling for permanent stat buffs - Added a character stat window to the inventory menu for better tracking of status & buffs - Improved controller aim a…

• Early Access v0.5.4 - 15 December 2023

  As we're gearing up for the steam winter sale I'm releasing one more QoL-focused update. This includes plenty of fixes, balance changes, and improvements to character kits. CHANGELOG New Stuff ================== - Added the "Judgement" effect to both priest spells. Causing enemies to explode when killed - Witch's "Flame Wheel" spell is now a toggleable spell that drains energy as it remains active. Spell damage and size have been adjusted as well. - Witch's "Fireball" spell now explodes when reaching target point - Introducing the Hyena enemy, a simple melee mob with faster movement speed than the standard gnoll Adjustments ======================= - Decreased hold time needed to "Equip" items from ground - Removed revolver from the chest drop pool - Players now move at regular speed when performing melee attacks Balance - Rebalanced enemy spawn tables to be more lenient at beginning. Wi…

• Early Access v0.5.3 - 29 November 2023

  A smaller patch this time with just some fixes and quality of life changes. I've been juggling several things recently but soon should be able to refocus on development. My plan is to release one more QoL patch after this before 0.5.5 which should contain some improvements to the magic and melee systems. CHANGELOG New Stuff ================== - RARE and MAGIC enemies have been introduced. Both enemy types drop increased gold. - Magic enemies have slightly increased health & damage and appear with a blue glow - Rare enemies have greatly increased health & damage and appear with a yellow glow - Guns now have a limited supply of ammo, ammo is tracked on a per-weapon basis and starts at the maximum amount - Enemies now have a chance to drop ammo on death, picking one of these up refills a portion of maximum ammo for both equipped guns - Enemy ragdolls are now permanent by default. A slider…

• Early Access v0.5.2 - 11 November 2023

  Thank you everyone who has checked out the game so far! Have gotten lots of good feedback already and have been able to get some fixes in this week along with a few new bits of content. CHANGELOG New Stuff ======================= - Added the gnoll chanter, a melee/caster hybrid that regularly shouts to buff nearby enemies with a speed boost. They can be spotted by their purple caster robes. - Have added 4 new tile shapes, I wanted to start experimenting with more complex and vertical tiles, if this does not create problems with dungeon generation will probably add more tiles of this sort in future patches - Added a slider to allow adjusting screenshake. This go down to 0% to completely disable it or 200% to double it for funsies. (Thank you for the suggestion!) Adjustments ======================= - Increased shadow visibility in later phases of the day - Gold and Energy drops are now pi…
