Hello everyone,
More info at the end of the post! This update is a major milestone for us, as it includes a ton of new content and significant improvements to the overall gameplay experience.
First and foremost, we are introducing a brand new item family: summoning! You will now be able to summon powerful cats, totems and living dead pigeons to fight alongside you in battle.
In addition we're adding over 50 new items to the game, giving players even more options for customizing their playstyle. Additionally, we're introducing 7 new bosses for you to battle, each with their own unique mechanics and challenges.
We've also redesigned the beginning of the game, with over 45 objectives to complete in order to build up your arsenal and prepare yourself for the challenges ahead. This should make for a much more engaging and rewarding early game experience.
On top of all that, we're also rolling out a big graphical and sound update to enhance the overall immersion of the game. And for our French players, we've added translations to help make the game more accessible. You can also upload a community translation into Steam Workshop.
Finally, we've done a big balancing pass on the game, tweaking stats and abilities to ensure that the gameplay is as fair and fun as possible.
Please keep in mind that this is a beta release, so there may be some bugs and issues that we're still working to address. But we're eager to get your feedback and hear your thoughts on all the new content and improvements that we've added.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the beta of the 0.4 update! In addition. We hope it will last about 1 week.
