Local co-op update is live!
Hi all! It has been a long work, but second DungeonRift Early Access update is live! We’re happy to finally release local co-op mode (we’ve played it ourselves and really liked the way it plays) as well as fixes for lots of issues we (and our dear players) found since last build.
Hi all!
It has been a long work, but second DungeonRift Early Access update is live! We’re happy to finally release local co-op mode (we’ve played it ourselves and really liked the way it plays) as well as fixes for lots of issues we (and our dear players) found since last build. Next update will be more content-wise and we hope it will take WAY less time for us to develop.
We will rebuild our Demo in nearest future for it to make more precise impression of our game.
Patch notes:

Local co-op mode implemented!

You can join as a second player in “Start Game” menu with the desirable controller;
Alternative skins for second player’s characters (more skins and skin selection to come in later updates);
Dead players are revived by opening chest on next level (chest-loot is lost this way);
3 new environments with 6 new awesome music tracks;
Option to switch camera zoom to “toggle mode” (thanks to TheTycoon for the advice);
Option to disable timer ticking for those who was enraged by it;
Some control-based glitches have been fixed (thanks to Rachelle for the report);
Engine upgraded to Unity 5.3 (expect some perfomance boost!);
Tons of optimizations and little bug fixes for better game experience.
Known issues:

XBOX 360 gamepad trigger issue - there is a Unity-based problem with trigger detection in some cases, we’re working on the solution. If you experience problems with controllers - plug them out, restart the game, plug them in again and enjoy the game!
Local co-op later levels overlight - in some cases level can be lit too bright when two players are very close to each other;
Windows 10 GUI flickering between levels - we haven’t reproduced this issue on other systems, so if you experience some glithes with GUI refreshing please report to us
Found any problem not listed above? Feel free to report it any way you find comfortable so we can make our game as good as possible!

Hello guys, Giving you a little update on game development and our future plans, because there was a long time since last news, but we sure want you to know that we’re still alive and active. We’ve finally finished local coop at functional level and now we’re slapping together so

This one was planned as a quick balance and performance patch. It turned out as a complete revamp of existing combat and loot mechanics.
We’ve added new weapon-grade - Obsidian. It drops on the later stages as substitute for Fine grade. Runic weapons are fragile uber-weapon with highest DPS in the game now - their use is a risky decision for a player, as runic weapon will worn down to the basic state very fast and will not be as usefull as even shattered obsidian.
Overall damage-per-second was increased in favor for more dynamic and frantic combat. Also we’ve made enemies faster and introduced player slowdown when he moves in opposite direction form the cursor. We believe it wil lmake the game much more challenging and fun even in early-game.
Upgrade system had undergone some changes too. Health upgrade is twice as powerfull, agility and speed upgrades combined into one and secondary-weapon upgrades are added. Right now you can upgrade your secondaries twice - bow and crossbow will get damage boost for each upgrade and magic will get more charges.
The resources and code were heavily optimized for better performance- game’s directory was nearly halved in volume, RAM usage decreased from unbelievable 1.3GB+ to more gentle 400-500MB and initial load duration was drastically reduced. Also, there are now less CPU-devouring operations every frame, so FPS must not drop on higher levels even on fairly old machines.
Monsters will try to pickup crowns from the floor now. It will give them some protection and standart 1.5 damage buff, untill you knock crown down (while damaging it). So be ready to grab it as fast as you can.
A bunch of countries are added to PolandRift, btw.
Patch note:

Full combat revamp:

Weapon grades are rebalanced for more fast paced and dynamic combat;
Obsidian grade is added (without Mace, sorry);
Secondary weapon is upgradable;
Enemies are faster;
Player moving backwards is slower;
Upgrade don’t make weapons superfast anymore;
Crowns are now pickable by monsters;
King of the Rift (true crown from the start of the level) now boosts monster’s HP in x1,5 instead of x2;
Health upgrade will give two hearts instead of one => there are 5 maximum health upgrades instead of 10;
Speed upgrade now will boost your weapon handling abilities and decrease ability cooldown;
Agility upgrades are removed;
Secondary weapon upgrades are added: damage boost for bow, crossbow and a rock (sic!), capacity boost for fireball and lightning. Maximum 2 upgrades;
Repair pickup will upgrade your Worn weapon to Fine weapon, if you have more than 50% of it’s durability (instead of 75%) and new weapon will have 35% durability (instead of 25%);
Dakkar finally can throw fireballs! Three at once!
Settings menu is now accessible from the pause menu;
New countries as enemies in PolandRift: Australia, Bulgary, Canada, Egypt, Filippines, India;
Bug fixes, balance changes, tuning, gamepad controlls, passive-agressive chat-logs etc.

DungeonRift is an Early Access title
There is a problem with our Steam settings. The game should be in Early Access for now, but something went wrong. We're working on it, big sorry for the inconvenience.

DungeonRift is out on Steam!

We made it to Steam Early Access!
We’ve started our Early Access with a bunch of new mechanics, to make our first commerce version as much feature-rich and and interesting as we can. First of all, we got new playable character - barbarian Ironbraids! He’s unlockable after a few runs and differs from Sir Bucket with lower speed, tougher armor, inability to conjure magiac and count. Also he got different active ability - Battle Dash in which he charges at his enemies, pushes them around and inflict sirious damage. Oh yes, we have active abilities now - for Bucket it’s Dodge-Roll, that makes him invulnerable for duration of rolling out of danger. Poland can into roll too!
Enemies are ready for heroes and their ambitions - every couple of levels one of the monsters becomes King of the Rift, that make him tougher and gives him a fancy crown. “Fanciness” of the crown is determined by monster’s level. In future every monster will have a unique ability for his moment of royalness.
Steam Release, even in Early Access, is a giant step for us. Thanks everybody who supported us during our alpha-development - positive feedback and interest in our game is a best reason to complete our project into a full game. We’re hoping that you’ll like DungeonRift and we will continue improving it. =)
Patch note:

New playable character - Ironbraids;
Active abilities (Space button): Dodge Roll - character rolls in movement direction and gains invulnerability for roll-duration; Battle Dash - character boosts in aim directions, while damaging and pushing enemies. Damage grows with maximum health of the character;
Agility upgrade reduces recharge time of abilities;
Weapon throwback is smoother now;
Game levels now turning on 90/180/270 degrees and sometimes transpose to make more gamelevels for players;
New weapons grade - Runic weapons. It drops on later stages and worns down to “Worn” weapon, so it’s smart to change Runic for Fine weapon in some cases;
Two new melee weapons: Mace - unlocked at start of the game; Spear - unlockable after gaining enough experience;
New range weapon - Lightning. Unlockable.
Mace, Warhammer and Plunger got a chance to stun the enemy;
When monster reaches every 5th level first - he becomes The King of the Rift (and 18th level too). He receives a crown, his health grows 2 times and his damage grow 1,5 time. After 20th monster level the crown is given every 5th level to a random enemy. It could be picked up from defeated monster - it will protect the player and give experience bonus at the end of the level. Better crown - better defence;
There is a magnificent spark on the Fine weapons;
Game finishes after 50th portal;
Level editor is active again and it got a little better interface;
Now dead monster are marked in pause menu;
New monster - Hardwin the Troll;
New perks: “Thick Skull” - ignores stun effect and becomes enraged instead; “Tough Guy” - increses monsters health and make him immune to throwback; “Smart Guy” - increses experience gain rate for monster; “Body Slam” - monster can jum to create a wave of damage and throwback;
Potion stops bleeding and poisoning now in addition to standart heal;
Settings Screen! Only with audio vollume sliders and controls info at the moment;
Bug fixes, balance and graphics tweaks and many others big and small changes not cool enough to have their own bullet-point. =)
