- Archon Soul v1.0.02 Patch - 20 August 2026
Hey everyone!Just a quick patch to fix a few issues that got missed in 1.0.01:QoL Improvements:Unit UI and screen positions slightly changed to give better access to status effect info for the following units: Avatar of the Soul, Demon of Misfortune, Chaos Mass, Origin of Sickness, Ghost of Beauty.Removed Unnecessary tooltips from some unit ability swap events.The undiscovered icon in the collections screen contrasts from the locked icon better.Bug / General Fixes:Crystallize Rune now generates 2 ethereal dice as intended in the last update. I changed the number in the backend but that number didn’t actually link to the generation code on the rune. Whoops.Removed Charge from Overdrive Bolt, as it no longer needs it. This probably technically counts as a balance change, but I'm listing it here.Fixed an issue where Chain Rune would not hit all enemies with the damage from Overdrive Bolt.F…

- Demo Patch 1.1.01 - 23 July 2026
Hey everyone!Nothing really of note in this update! There are a few minor bugfixes, an update to the skeleton hit sound effect, and support for a few 16:10 resolutions.I've been made aware recently that for some players, they've been met with a black screen after starting a run and cannot continue into the game. Goblinz and I have been investigating this and we have not been able to reproduce it yet, which sadly makes fixing it almost impossible. I tried a few things in this update, but without being able to see if those changes would have an effect it's still a bit of a shot in the dark. Please let us know if you still have this problem with the new demo update.-ThomasEDITED TO SAY:I've uploaded Demo v1.1.02 which is just a shot-in-the-dark hotfix attempt for the black screen issue based on the little I know about it. If you had an issue with the black screen and it persists with v1.1.…
- Demo 1.1.0 Update - 8 July 2026
Hey everyone!This update brings the visual and audio polish of the demo up to the standard of the full game, in anticipation of its launch on July 29! This includes new & improved VFX that help the combat backgrounds feel more alive, dice bodies feel more special, and attack effects with loads more polish. There are also brand new SFX, which improve the feel of interacting with the game! The unit ability's visuals have been reworked to help them stand out more, as well as the costs during events. All in all, the game feels even better to play now!On top of all that, more improvements, bug fixes, and balance adjustments than I'd care to list out. But I'll share a couple of my favorites:Spiked Rune, Toughness Rune, Protection Body, and Aggressive Body now scale over the course of the run: These runes and bodies were quite good early, but their usefulness faded as the enemies difficulty pr…

- Demo 1.0.03 - Events Revamp! - 9 March 2026
Hey everyone! I'm back with another update:EventsOne of the most common complaints I've gotten in feedback are that the events are too punishing or underwhelming, and for the most part I agree. I wanted to take this opportunity to improve the events in the game, and in doing so add a little more variety to runs. Here are the changes that impact the demo:Area 1:For the most part, I think the Area 1 events are fine, but did want to make a few changes.Golden Scroll: Gain Random Rare Spell -> Choose from 3 rare spells (This was to reduce the instances of taking a downside to gain a useless spell)Innate Power: Added an option to swap your current unit ability with a different character-specific unit ability. (More on this: Each character will have their default starter and an alternate unit ability unlockable through this event)The Crown: Added an option to choose an uncommon spell. Removed…

- What's New in the Demo? - 20 February 2026
Hey Everyone!Moving forward, the Demo on the main game page will be the most up-to-date build of the game. What's new in the demo?Dice Modification Screen RedesignThe dice modification screen has been redesigned for a better and more streamlined experience!Now instead of having to flip through face, rune, and body tabs to figure out your dice build, it's all on one screen! Quite a lot of the game is spent in this screen, so I really wanted to make it much easier to use. I also noticed that sometimes new players wouldn't even realize they had faces and dice bodies to add to their dice because they were in another tab that you had to click on, so hopefully this improves the new player experience as well!You may also have noticed something to the right of the modification area...Dice Modification UndoThis has been a pretty heavily requested feature, so here it is! While a dice is in the mo…
