Hello Everyone
I am here to announce that the 0.9 update will be released on August 29th
This also means the price increase will happen on August 29th,
as well as the cat DLC release (which has been ready for more than a month but had to wait for the 0.9 Update).
0.9 is by far the biggest update to date.
What is missing right now?
Content-wise, the update should be ready by tomorrow.
Animation for one of the avatars,
45 sprites for Soul-Cards and artifacts are missings,
Sprite for the 4th zone boss.
Once the content is done,
I'll make some final adjustments to the balancing of a few things,
Then I'll focus on helping the artists I hired to finish the assets in time.
As I don't want to delay the update any more than that:
Animations for the 4th boss won't be ready for the 0.9 update but will come in the following week. (they are not important to fight the boss)
Enemies for the snow forest are pushed for Update 0.9.1.
If the assets are not finished by the due date?
I'll release the update anyway; they shouldn't have much impact on the experience overall and will quickly be patched in during the following days.
I believe the improvements added by this update far outweigh the minor inconvenience due to the missing icons.
And then?
Once that is done, I'll focus my attention on updating the Demo while the Snow forest biome enemies are worked on.
The demo is now very outdated in comparison to the main game, and I feel like it's a bit of a bad showcase of the new state of the game, especially concerning QoL improvements.
