- Developer Update! July 12, 2024 - 12 July 2024
Hello cube heroes! A quick Developer Update. Updates are right around the corner, stay tuned! We hope you've been enjoying your adventures in our world of Cube Hero Odyssey. We wanted to give you a quick update on why things have been a bit quieter than usual on the development front lately. One of our lead developers is getting engaged next week! ๐ This is an incredibly exciting time for us, and it has understandably taken up quite a bit of our focus as you can probably imagine. But don't worry โ we're still hard at work behind the scenes, and you can expect some exciting updates coming your way. We have some great new features, and content already in the oven, cooking all this while, reading to be on your plate very soon!

- Cube Hero Odyssey DEMO is out! - 27 June 2024
Hello cube heroes! It was time for another Developer Update! Early Access Complete! As some of you know, we went through an Early Access phase in May - June, and have since completed that phase. We're currently approaching and preparing the Full Game release! During the Early Access phase, we took a TON of feedback, and loved hearing what cool, new stuff you would like to have added in the game. Even though Early Access is over, feedback and suggestions are still welcome! Feel free to post anytime on the game's discussion boards. A Free DEMO?! As we transition into Full Game release... It felt right to let some of our players continue to enjoy a sample of the game in the meantime! There's so many more bosses, levels and new Mod effects that we've added that the Full Game will have, but will be restricted away in the demo, but the demo will surely give you a taste of the game's full poteโฆ
- Cube Hero Odyssey Early Access DONE! - 10 June 2024
Hello cube heroes! You may have noticed the game is unplayable right now, and that's because: We're transitioning to Full Release! We made the Early Access available to play for a short time for free, and received lots of feedback! We've since made tremendous amount of changes both to the Early Access version of the game, and a great amount of secret new content for the Full Release. The Full Release will be coming out Summer 2024 (in the next few months). Those who played Early Access will get the Full Release game for free! If you played the Early Access game at all, you'll retain full access to the full game! Worry not, your save and your account is all still here, and you can play the full game as soon as it's out for free. Can I play the game somehow during this time? We'll be publishing a free demo version of Cube Hero Odyssey soon. Anyone can play the demo for free. The demo willโฆ
- Mana Resource and Skills Update v2.16 - 8 June 2024
New Content Mana Resource System (for Skills) ๐ We've changed the required resource to use Skills away from Energy to a new resource called 'Mana'. Unlike Energy, Mana does not auto-regenerate. There will be ways to recover Mana by means of chest loot, Effect mods, or by purchasing Mana recovery from a merchant. Energy will only be used for Dashing (and perhaps Attacking in the future). This change is a slight nerf to Skills because players won't use them the same way anymore, and to balance that, we've made heavy balancing changes to Skills (shown below), like buffing their damage and reducing their cooldown and mana cost. Chests now have a chance to provide a Mana Recover to the user (similar to Weak Heal, and Strong Heal). Added a review window after gameplay. Balancing and Improvements Azurite Infusion: duration 25 -> 35, cost 90 -> 25 Flow State: duration 15 -> 25, cost 90 -> 30 Bโฆ
- Full Release Coming Summer 2024! Wishlist to be notified - 2 June 2024

There's been a lot of bug fixes, optimizations, balance changes, and new content added to this version since then! Just in the last 2 weeks, We've added a Tutorial System so that new players can learn the mechanics available to them. A combat and balance revamp that allows us to scale the player's power level for many rounds to come. A whole new challenging experience in Mystic Dungeons that players can tackle for extra rewards! Settings for full screen mode, FPS, quality, and resolution for an adjustable, fluid experience. An auto-targeting system so there's less friction in your barrier of entry to the game!

This is a safety improvement for cases where you get stuck and keep spam falling off the map, you'll now only get hit by Fall Damage once instead of every time (it resets after a few seconds of being safe) Bug Fixes and Optimizations Added FPS options! You can find them in Main Menu/Pauโฆ

Auto-Targeting Update v2.14 - May 23, 2024 New Content ๐ฏ Auto-Targeting System: since targeting is really critical, and players use it every few seconds anyway, we've decided to make closest enemies be targeted automatically. No more spamming shift every few seconds! If an enemy is already targeted, pressing shift now will switch your target to another close enemy Bug Fixes and Optimizations Slightly nerfed Treant boss's Earth Vines skill damage (he's the first boss, he should be easier than the others) Increased the Attack Dash Length of the player's 2nd attack in the full 3-attack combo! No more missing your target just because they were a lil too far Enemies that get pushed off the map die much faster now, instead of after being 20 feet below ground Join our Discord Server to see all our updates, see progress videos and more!

- Balance & Quality Update v2.11 - 12 May 2024
Balance & Quality Update - May 12, 2024 New Content Blank Tomes added as a new item/currency These can be traded in to Galilee (spellbook master) in exchange for a Skill Ronny, the Prophesized Prodigy now provides a Blank Tome as a gift to the player instead of a random Skill Balancing and Improvements :exclamation: Removed Rare Tier chests from regular rounds Rare chests (silver chests) spawned with increasingly better chances as the rounds went on, and this can skew balance quickly now that we've allowed for much higher rounds to be possible Changed Corrupt Demon to use boss-level stat growth as he's essentially a mini-boss. Previously, he was using default stat growth which made his HP and damage not scale well into higher rounds.

- BIG Content Update! v2.1 - 6 May 2024
Ever wondered what that old stonehouse is doing there? There's one in every biome... Take the plunge, and discover! New Content Mystic Dungeon! - we won't spoil too much! Take the leap, and explore! Balancing and Improvements Stat Balancing Experimental Change: Changed Stat Mods to provide static numbers, instead of growing numbers: -> Attack mods changed from giving +1/1/2/4/6/... -> always giving +5 Attack -> Ability mods changed from giving +5/6/7/9/12/... -> always giving +12 Ability -> Health mods changed from giving +10/11/13/15/18/... -> always giving +20 Health This is a change made in an effort to bring the game to a more scalable state (and easily balanceable) as we grow the game with more biomes, and higher level enemies that need to be challenging to the player's growing power level. โThis is an experimental change: we'll be play-testing and monitoring this change to see howโฆ
