We've been spending this week focused on getting a new Alpha Build for our very special Alpha Testers (pssst... you can be one too! Just join our Discord and ask about it!). In the build will be new areas, characters, and attacks. It's very fun stuff!
We also discovered this week that some of the upgrades weren't working, so after I fixed that, dear Charlene had to rebalance. 100% grateful for her to have those skills.
My favourite new character is Frodrick (whose name I plucked from a viral tiktok about building a frog mansion). He's got a cool new attack which aims behind the player rather than in front. It makes for a totally different way to play and will work well with folks who don't like diving head first into an enemy swarm.
I have also been doing a bunch of research and courses about Steam, like the algorithms and page optimization. The changes have been subtle, so if you've found this devlog because of those changes... Hiiiiiii! So nice to have you here!!! <3 <3 <3
One of those changes is the new capsule art! Anyone want to guess what it was inspired by???
We're really excited to get more folks involved as we work towards a demo and Early Access. So join that Discord and chat with us about it!
