Fire and Ice: Update #1 Released!

The time has finally come and the first major update for Pylon: Rogue is now available: “Fire and Ice”! This update adds the Golem, rebindable keys, new items, and more!

The Golem is a new playable character that can shift between stone, fire, and ice forms at will. When in fire form, enemies have a chance to be ignited, and when in ice form, enemies have a chance to be frozen. The stone form has a chance to cause ignited enemies to explode, and frozen enemies to shatter, dealing extra damage!

Patch Notes:

  • Critical Hit Damage is now a separate stat that determines how much bonus damage is applied on a critical hit (previously, a critical hit was treated as double damage)
  • New character: The Golem
    • Switch between fire and ice forms at will.
    • Combo your attacks: Fire ignites enemies, stone makes ignited enemies explode. Ice freezes enemies, stone shatters frozen enemies.

  • 4 New Items

    • 2 items to increase the new crit damage stat
    • Frost Boots: Leave behind a trail of ice that slows down foes, and sometimes freezes them
    • Fire Boots: Leave behind a trail of fire that ignites enemies

  • Rebindable keys: Don't like the default control scheme? Change it!
  • Added “Ability Modifier” keys 1 and 2 to controls

    • used by the Golem for switching forms (default LT and RT on controllers, Shift and Control on keyboard)

  • Added options to change the input API (default, xinput, and/or native)
  • Added a toggle to general options to make interacting with objects instant
  • Added a toggle to enable or disable the character turning with the camera
  • Bug fixes
