Original postMajor update: early v2.0.0
Hello everyone!
It's been a while since there's been an update on Shaper.
Of course, this wasn't due to a lack of will - I've been working hard for several months to bring you this update.
And there's a lot to talk about, so let's not waste any time!As you can see, the game is now in version 2.0.0. Or rather, early 2.0.0.
What does this mean? Well, the update I'm proposing will destroy everything, and that's not a metaphor. A new save and load system is in place, which unfortunately means you'll have to say goodbye to previous dungeons. But I promise you, it's all for the best!Numerous modifications have also been made to improve the quality of the game, both graphically and engine-wise. But be careful, because correcting problems can create new ones. That's why the game's version is in "early" 2.0.0, because I know there's still a lot to improve and correct, and I'm working on it every day.
Finally, to be totally transparent with you, the price of the game has changed to $10.99, to reflect the evolution of the game, both in terms of its quality and the titanic amount of work I've put into updating it.
Of course, this price change implies that the game's development continues and that future updates are to be expected!Now that I've told you everything that's important, here's a summary of the game's changes for version 2:
Features:
- It's now possible to merge two rooms together by opening the minimap, right clicking on rooms then middle click.
- A brand new save/load system has been writter, much more flexible and consistent allowing me to add a lot of new entities without any pain!
- New entities linking system. By middle clicking on an entity than middle clicking on another entity, you can link them together which can create particular interactions. Try this mechanic with many entities to learn how to create new situations inside your dungeons.
- New crystal that can be activated using any projectile.
- New decorations.
- Added a pocket mirror which can be used to invert the position of the player with its clone.
- Added a cracked door which can be destroyed using a bomb.
- Added the Discord Rich Presence.
- New world inside the adventure mode (dungeons of the adventure are work in progress but you can play a demo of the first world)
Updates:
- Rework of the look of many entities.
- Refinement of the physics.
- Door entries (editor item) rework.
- Some UI layouts have been refined.
Bugs fix:
- Fixed the rendering of many entities which was disappearing too early when the camera was doing a transition between two rooms.
- Fixed the transition of the musics that was causing game crashed.
- Fixed a bug that was not cancelling the dash and the bounce back (damage) of the player when he was teleported to another room.
If you want to give your feedback, feel free to do so by joining my discord server: https://discord.gg/ac5zTMEAbw
Remember that Shaper is a game I'm developing on my own, so it takes a lot of time and investment to improve the game.
I don't have the capacity to test every possible interaction in the game, so you may encounter unforeseen problems or even crashes.
To ensure the game's continuity, please report any bugs to me and I'll fix them as quickly as possible to make your gaming experience even better.See you soon!

Original postPatch note 1.3.0
Good evening, Shaper players!
I'm here with a brand-new update, 1.3.0, to add even more content.Let's get the news rolling!
Features
- A new game mode arrives with this update: adventure mode! Grab your sword and explore 2 new dungeons that will put you to the test. Adventure mode is a great way to get your feet wet and discover the game's possibilities. The adventure mode will evolve by the time in addition to the upcoming dungeons themes. My goal is to create worlds with several dungeons in each of these worlds. Exactly like a certain game with a plumber who moves around with green pipes and eats mushrooms.
- The game now got its own speedrun.com page. Play now and submit your runs!
Updates
- The speedrun timer has been completely reworked.
- The pushable block now got a smoother push animation (0.2 seconds insteand of 0.1)
- Huge rework of the input system to make it more flexible and prepare the game to a future update to make the Steam Input API works.
Fixes
- Fixed an animation problem on several entities.
What's next?
The latest update has just arrived, but we can already focus on future updates to come.
On the agenda: a brand-new, fully interactive tutorial, the ability to merge 2 rooms together and the addition of Undo/Redo.
I'd also like to add content to the dungeon editor with new entities, decoration and dungeon themes.All these features take a lot of time to implement, but I'm doing my utmost to improve the game day by day.
Thanks for reading, and see you soon for another update.

Original postPatch note 1.2.0
Hello everyone!
I'm very happy to be back with you after more than a month's work for a new update, with new things to discover and lots of fixes.Without further ado, let's get to know what's new!
Features
- The locked block is a new entity which can be opened using a little key. Use it when you want to create a unique path but with a key required to continue on that way!
- Broken arrows now stick to the walls when you use the bow, a sign of your lightning-fast attack.
- The mouse support has been added to the options menu, so you'll be much faster when you want to change few settings.
- I added a little button on the titlescreen to make you join the game's Discord server and give me a lot of feedbacks to improve the game ːlunar2019grinningpigː (you can also click here to quickly join it!)
- Last but not least, the major feature of this update, the interactive minimap. I'm still working on it, but it's now easier to navigate between all the current floor's rooms because you can simply open the minimap et click on a room to quickly go on it. Let me know if you want this feature to be upgraded!
Updates
- There is a new look for the UI! Make sure to check it out and give me your feedback!
- Some entities got a new look like the switch blocks and the switch crystals for example.
- You can now place a door without a doorway to create teleports even faster. Similarly, staircases have been removed from the editor menu and will be generated automatically when you place a pair of doors on a different floor.
- There is now an error screen if the dungeon upload to the server failed.
- A minimum delay has been added to the bow.
- The game is now paused when the player's inventory is opened.
- When you pick up an object, it will be automatically equiped if there is any place in your hands!
- Messages displayed when you open a chest has been changed.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue allowing players to place walls decorations and then removing walls without removing decorations.
- Spikes blocks will now correctly detect collisions with all the walls between itself and the player.
- End of a weird behavior when a player was abose a switch block and hit the switch crystal to make the block up. The player is now no longer stuck inside the block and the block will keep down while the player is above it.
- Fixed an issue where it was possible to open the main menu while the minimap was opened.
Do not hesitate to join the game's Discord server and give me feedback. This is very important for me to improve the game by fixing all the issues and adding features you'd like to see inside Shaper.
I got many more ideas to improve the game. The game is far from the end of it's development.
Thanks all for your support!
