Hi folks,
A new update is now available for DemonCrawl! This one includes our Summer Sunset event, the Auramancer mastery, 7 new items, an optional minimap setting, and doggo-themed cosmetics for our Patreon supporters.
At the moment, this update is only available on Windows - we intend to deploy it to the remaining platforms very soon, assuming GameMaker build tool shenanigans have been resolved in the few months since DemonCrawl's previous update.
Full patch notes are available below. Enjoy!
Summer Sunset Event

- New substage: Getaway - "This hot spot is full of summer activities, but it's REALLY HOT! You're bound to get burned unless you come prepared."

- New summer game: Bugcatching Tournament - "Complete the quest with the best collection of bugs!"
- New summer affliction (omen): Mosquito - "Lose 1 life every 40 turns. Reset this status counter when you leave a stage."
