Added video options. You can now select the frame rate that you want to cap at. Added a Vsync option which fixes the horrendous screen tearing that I personally have been experiencing. As well as some of the artifacting issues that I've seen. Re-did the main menu. I broke some th
Frame rates are going to be capped at 60 until I work out a better solution.

.16 Added special enemy number 2 the Brute. Any one who played the game before the rebuild will know of them as the rock slinging big guys. They are completely remodeled and reworked to be much much more aggressive. No more rock throwing they now live up to their name. Updated mo
Reduced time to "Charge the plates" and "Hold the bridge" Fixed explosion FX size for the cluster rocket. Added more environment detail to level 1. Added some environment detail to level 2. Enemies are no longer contained to their rooms in level 2. Slightly reduced the size of th
I made a mistake in thinking that local back ups was the way to go. Long story short a bad power supply caused me to lose four hard drives at once and basically my entire game. Every single piece of the game has been remade with the exception of some models, enemies most specific
Darkest Depths started as a passion project. I set out to make the game that I wanted to play. At times it hit that mark and at others it failed dramatically. I honestly didn't really have a goal or direction other than random levels and fun gunplay. It has been a huge part of my
Leaderboards have been added to New Game mode and Survival. Survival game mode has been added. It was going to launch with a changing arena and new areas opening up over time. I unfortunately found some exploits. Normally I'd be fine letting people play with my mistakes. With lea
Bombardier Minis now spawn in clusters. Not all Graveheart Wizards spawn enemies. Added a new elite enemy type. You'll recognize them when you see them. Bouncing bombs from mini Seers lifetime has been randomized. This should prevent a ton of explosions at once. After testing I'm
The entire game now uses a completely new spawning system. This should be more obvious where enemies will be spawning to prevent getting spawned on and killed. It also takes enemy spawning away from the center of a room. With that, the instant room spawns should now always be spa
Fixed an issue with doors locking you out of a room if you hit a Hound while outside of the room. Hounds will not lock doors until I completely fix the issue. There is an issue with controller interact button X on an XBOX controller not opening doors or chests. It was caused by c
Reduced the amount of coins required to unlock most guns. Fixed a bug with the Bombardier boss room not unlocking.
Added a new enemy type. The Gravehounds lock doors, rush the player and leap constantly. They have no ranged attack and they cannot strafe but they have high health and damage. Added a new enemy type Bombardier Minis. These little guys strafe around, up and down and rain bombs on
Reverted air move speed to the previous speed. Seeker Rocket launcher's primary fire no longer seeks and instead goes straight and is much faster. The alt fire Rocket Storm still shoots seeker missiles. Doors now take an input with the interact button to open instead of automatic
The entire level up system has been overhauled to be much more RPG like. Instead of instantly getting set stat ups you now get a prompt to press the interact button. If you do not use your upgrade all XP gained while the prompt is up will be wasted. This is to prevent people from
New rooms. Rusher class enemies now jump at the player. Some smaller rooms are now entrances to much larger arenas instead of just being small rooms. This makes for more interesting arenas and much less enclosed combat. There are still a lot of smaller rooms but I'm working to ma
Added a new gun called Razerback. It shoots sticky rounds at an extremely fast RPM that explode 3 seconds later. It drops from relic chests right now and will be unlockable later. It also doesn't have an alt fire yet but the primary fire is pretty insane. Added a new upgrade call
Added 9 Steam Achievements. Later I'll add achievements for each boss and weapon. Now that I'm finally playing with the API I'm going to try to start on the leaderboard but no promises on when this will be ready. Fixed an issue with the gravemother's animations. New sound effect
Finished Atomizer model/textures. Finished Unlocks page gun icons. Each different sized version of the Rusher class of enemy now has it's own texture color. Cleaned up the Exploder class explosion. Completely new soundtrack from White Bat Audio. Check them out on YouTube. They ma
