Hello, PixogenPixels(Lead Artist/Co Dev) here to update you all on what we have been working on.
Art Updates/Design
We have been hard at work getting the game ready for Early Access. Some of the most recent work has been creating new and interesting elite enemies and bosses, getting the majority of status effects in the game and working on Powerups. We are also really excited about the new bosses and while we would love to show them off, I think leaving some of the later game content as a surprise is important.
Here's a small sample of some of the new elite enemies. The forest troll in particular can really give you a hard time if you get smacked by his mud fling ability. It causes a slow status effect on the player and can really lead to you getting swarmed or taking a few hits in combat. The plague shroom is another one to watch out for, if you let him get close to you he will leave a lingering plague cloud on the battlefield. We have plenty of interesting mechanics already created and many more planned for creating dynamic and challenging runs.
New Enemies
Also runs now have a chance to include a rare spawning treasure snail!
Treasure Snail!
While enemies now have status effects, all characters also have abilities with status effects based around their class design, like stuns from The Bogatyr and fears from The Necromancer.
Along with the above additions, we have been adding new Powerups. We have general Powerups that can show up in any run, and then class-specific powerups that are more tailored to the different playstyles of the survivors.
Here is a small showcase:
Haste Buff
Poison Explosion Buff
Bandit Buff
That's all we have to show for now but keep checking the steam page and stop by the discord to chat!
Don't forget to Wishlist Soul Survivors on steam and thank you for all the support!
