Hi there Dwellers!
We’re back with our final update of the year on how Early Access is progressing! It’s been quite the year. Just this past July we launched into Early Access, and how the months have flown by. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been working on some exciting changes that we’re stoked for you to get your hands on. From new enemies to an entirely new Map System, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Over the past few months, we’ve been incredibly hard at work on fixes, redesignes, as well as fresh new content for the game. Besides the things that we’ve already shown off in the last couple of weeks , here’s what you can look forward to in early 2022:
- Reworked card synergy to allow better and easier deckbuilding. Class decks will be separated, and classes will have more synergy between them
- Reworked encounters. All encounters will be hand-crafted, and enemy encounters will no longer be random
- Reworked Potions and Trinkets
- Improved UI with more options for customization.
- New: Class system
- New: Hero Equipment System (itemization throughout a run to create interesting class synergies and sometimes alter a class role)
- Improved core combat flow (Heroes have a more defined role in combat flow)
- New: Threat mechanic (allows you to control who the given enemy will attack)
- New: Card Upgrade System
- New: Map System (expanded exploration, secrets, progression mechanics)
- New: Events (World lore, class background and upgrade events)
- New: Enemies
- Additional story elements
- Improved world visualization
And as a thank you for sticking with us, here's a fresh look at some things we have cooking up:
We’re hoping to get the first big Early Access update out in the first half of 2022, with an exclusive beta preview available for the public sometime in Q1 2022.
From all of us at Those Awesome Guys and Balcony Softworks, thank you for making 2021 one for the books and going on this adventure with us. Whether you’ve just picked up the game or you’ve been with us since the first day in Early Access, we’re excited to go on this journey with you into 2022. Thank you for playing, your feedback, and your love.
Happy Holidays, and see you next year!
