Hi everyone! I hope you've all been enjoying your time playing Don't Die, Collect Loot. It's been incredibly exciting to see the outpouring of support for the game, and how many of you are truly enjoying it.
The reviews have especially been strongly appreciated, they help a ton to get the game out there on Steam and share it with new potential fans. Extra special thanks to everyone who has shared it with creators as well, I've seen some great videos, like the recent one from Wanderbots!
In the past two weeks I've mostly been focusing on bug fixes, performance, and general QoL. The game is in a much better state than it was even 13 days ago, thanks in no small part to all of your feedback. I'll of course keep working on this stuff, there's plenty more to do.
In the short term, I'll be traveling until October 17th. This will lower the frequency of updates subtantially for the next two or so weeks. Don't worry, though! I'm still here on the forums, reading discord, and reading through all of your bug reports and feedback! Don't Die, Collect Loot isn't going anywhere!
While I travel, I'll be focusing on new ideas and content to come in the future. Here's a quick overview of a few things coming this year:
A Limit Breaker NPC - Spend your excess skill points on endless permanent upgrades!
More Research Tree Nodes - There's still a lot more to do here!
More Astral Incursion Encounters - There are only three, and more are on the way!
More ingame events - Now that the current ones are mostly stable expect more of these to appear soon!
More Unique Items - Everyone loves loot!
Updates to low-use skill balance - I know some trees, like Runemaster and Hunter, are not where they should be! Expect these to get some much-needed love
And of course, as we go into 2026, expect new classes, the Volcano area, and more surprises!
