Hi everyone! It's Wednesday and that means that it's time for another update! Coincidentally, we also just passed the stretch goal for Mod Support on the Kickstarter campaign so thank you so much for the support so far!
Let me know what other stuff you'd like to see the game get through stretch goals (languages, mechanics, etc.) in the comments, and in the next few days we'll announce what it is! Also, if you haven't already, make sure to back the game on Kickstarter - it's the best way to support it and help us make it the best it can be!
On top of that, we've also just uploaded Alpha 1.2.0 to the Steam demo. The main thing is that it includes a new character, Ace! This is her description: A high roller who always has an ace up her sleeve. Excels at landing weaker critical hits.
If you want to play the demo, click here, it's free on Steam! Anyways, here are the patch notes:
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
- Made it such that the camera no longer sways, fixing the motion sickness that some players felt
- Removed character glow on some attacks that were too distracting
- Reduced player hitbox by 33%
- Added more visual feedback to when you're being damaged
- Added a sound effect for when you're being damaged
- Added feedback button in the main menu
- Made it such that elites now give you a choice of 4 items instead of 3
- Made it such that the elite trinket rewards screen shows you your stats

That's it for the patch notes for Alpha 1.2.0! As you can see, we added 1 character, 9 trinkets, and tons of QOL changes! Fun fact - before this update we only had 30 trinkets so we've increased the amount of trinkets by 30% (and that's not even considering the fact that the new ones are incredibly original and adaptable)!
We're going to keep on adding/improving more stuff, so we really appreciate feedback under this post, in the Steam community tab, or in our Discord. Again, backing the Kickstarter campaign is the best way to support this project! We even have Switch keys left as add-ons! Also, play the free Steam demo it's... FREE!
That's it for now!
