- Control Function Overhaul - 1 April 2019
Hey everyone! We've just launched a rather important update though its not gameplay related-- we've overhauled our controller support. We're now using a brand new controller API: this one is more fitting for the type of game that Wishmere is. We've long recognized that the majority of the issues in Wishmere are controller support related and we apologize for that. We've worked for nearly over a month to redo the ENTIRE controller support for the game. One of the key features we've worked on is unknown controller support, that now better recognizes and remaps controllers of all makes / brands. This should hopefully fix all the controller related issues that have previously been plaguing the game. Although, there may be a couple of bugs in there that we've missed. If there is a bug that you've encountered, do let us know here and we'll work on it. Thanks to all! (BTW this is not an April…
- Paragon Ascension: New Mode and New Taunts! - 20 December 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F11188255%2F9f02d0aa88b81ec97ef578055f33e43a33f26092.gif Hello all! We've just launched our latest update to Wishmere, and it's called Paragon Ascension! We've added a new mode called Paragon Battle, a boss battle where you can fight against Elreed at his full strength. The mode is for players who love a challenge and for more advanced players. He's designed to be a boss that's akin to secret bosses in RPGs (think Omega Weapon in FF7) or action games, so he's a little tough (OK, he's very tough)! If you beat him, you'll get a Keepsake + Taunt of your choosing for any character you wish, so give it a go and go grab some taunts! As he's a little difficult, it'd be interesting to see how players go about beating him. We'd be very interested to see some of your fights against him. Also, we've unlocked all the previously exclusi…
- Combat, Boss & Additions Update. +Bug Fixes - 7 May 2018

Thanks to player feedback, we've taken note and made several changes to the game. Our goal with this latest update is to make the game way more welcoming to new players and players who aren't so familiar with fighting game and beat-em-up mechanics. In the new update, bosses can now enter hit stun and be knocked down, once their superarmor has been broken. The armor is refreshable but this should make the combat of the game more coherent (you'll need combos to break the armor). We've also made changes to the mechanics of the game to make it easier for newer players to feel welcome and powerful. We've also added in a quick tutorial in the actual gameplay of the game for players to jump right in and learn how to play…

The seasonal winter holidays are here! To celebrate, we've just dropped festive themed content! Holiday Ice Stage - Ice Celebration Roll around in the festive snow.

- Trick of Treat - Halloween Update - 4 October 2017
Halloween is upon us and what better way to celebrate with a scary makeover for one of our stages? Halloween Sewers Stage Pumpkins, cobwebs and spooky pumpkins and other goodies. We've also got some exclusive Halloween costume colors for the festivities. Every character gets some Halloween costume flavor. Halloween Costume Colors Base Change As a request, we've also made a slight change to the 'Warriors of the Winter' Hard difficulty base in Base of Darkness mode. As requested, we've enabled 30 skill points to be awarded within the first 2 rounds of the 'Warriors of the Winter' base, so that you can play through the whole base with lots of skills upgraded. We're trying the idea out to see if it works, and if it works we might even migrate it to a permanent base in Base of Darkness. We've also squished / fixed some bugs and made some changes to some hitboxes. You can read more on the Cha…

- Wishmere has a Release Date: September 26! - 14 September 2017
And here we go! We've been working hard and now we're happy to announce: Wishmere is set to be released on September 26, 2017! You can check out the new trailer: https://youtu.be/I7c52iXsglc Here's a quick rundown of what's going on as we head towards September 26: Wishmere will be releasing on PC / Mac / Linux. We're unable to add the Steam store platform indicators for Mac and Linux right now due to Valve's policy. It will be added on launch day. The current version offered on our Early Access store is not the fully-realized version. However, getting the Early Access version of Wishmere before release date will still get you the full release version, set to release in just short of two weeks. We're also looking at getting a nice little Steam bundle up for sale, which will include the game + the official soundtrack done by Zack Parrish. The full version of Wishmere will feature: Story…

- Hotfix Update 7A - 23 February 2017
Hey guys, We just launched our newest hotfix! Good news is that we’ve fixed a lot of the reoccurring bugs, performance-issues have been fixed and generally making the game more consistent. Bad news is that the fix might be a little boring to you guys :( However, the biggest addition in this hotfix is the additional ‘hitstop’ added to all attacks that make contact with enemies. Hitstop is a game element where there is a brief stop when an attack makes contact with an opponent. This allows for players to properly tell what is going on in the game, rather than frantically having to interpret what’s going on. This should make combos easier for players and also keep the player feeling strong, due to the increased impact of each attack. Hitstop is normally present for fighting games and certain beat em ups, so hopefully this helps. For a list of the changes, check out the Change Log here. Che…

- Update 7 - Enter Doubt - 7 February 2017
Hey all, A big update here: one new character and a Tutorial Mode! The bad guy of Wishmere is now playable: Doubt is here! And the Tutorial Mode covers all the mechanics in the game, so it'll hopefully teach players something they might not have know (we hope!). This should be our last big content update in Early Access, as we push towards the Arcade and Story modes of the game. We will still definitely be fixing bugs, so if you find something, let us know in the forums and we'll get right on it! For a list of the changes, check out the Change Log here. Cheers.
