Hello everyone!
Surprise!
As you may know, yesterday we released our new game, Hive Blight, in early access, and we wanted to celebrate this achievement with you all! Without your continued support on Bounty of One and the success you made it out to be, we would never have had the freedom to create another game exactly the way we wanted.
So, to thank you all, we are introducing a new character to the game...
MITCHEL!
Mitchel was once a seasoned miner, known for his expertise in excavating the rare mushrooms that grew only beneath the lands surrounding Greenhill. These peculiar fungi were highly sought after because, when carefully brewed into potions, they could greatly enhance magical abilities. The problem was simple: they were scarce, and crafting even a single potion required an enormous quantity.
When rumors of these mushrooms reached the Undertaker, the necromancer approached Mitchel. He claimed he wanted to use their power for the greater good. Believing he was helping protect the valley, Mitchel agreed to guide him through the mines and reveal the secrets of harvesting the fungi.
But deep underground, Mitchel realized the truth. The Undertaker had no intention of sharing this power. He wanted the mushrooms for himself alone. Mitchel stood in his way, and their violent altercation caused the mine to collapse. The Undertaker escaped. Mitchel was buried alive.
Left for dead beneath tons of rubble, Mitchel survived by consuming the very mushrooms he once harvested. When he finally clawed his way to another exit after days of struggle, he was no longer the same. The excessive consumption of the magical fungi had changed him. The mushrooms now answered his will, bending and growing at his command.
Seeing what the Undertaker had done to Greenhill during his absence, he swore to take revenge. The Undertaker was going down, or he would die trying.
As usual, he comes with a new starting weapon:
The Fungal Blaster
Spawn mushroom turrets while standing still. All mushrooms together match your attack speed. Your attack speed is reduced by 40%. Max 10 mushrooms.
Mitchel also unlocks another weapon when managing to kill the Undertaker:
Spore Mine Spawn mushroom mines while standing still on a 2 sec cooldown. They explode once an enemy walks on them. Max 500 mines at a time.
It can get a bit crazy...
I hope you enjoy the new additions to the game!
Now, let's talk about something else. As mentioned at the beginning of this announcement...
