Greetings Wizards,
We're excited to announce that Rogue Wizards will be on the show floor at Pax West in Seattle Washington September 2-5, 2016! If you're going to be at the show stop by our pod in the Pax Rising area. We've never been to Pax as either an exhibitor or a fan ... the show looks like a ton of fun and it'd be great to meet some of you.
Even though much of July has been spent preparing our promotional materials for Pax, that doesn't mean we haven't been able to get some good stuff into the game too. Last week we released into the beta the "Gauntlet" game mode. This option is available when starting a new game and contains only pure dungeon crawl with an ever increasing difficulty and only one life ... ya know, the more traditional game mode for any rogue-lke game :)
In early July we received an anonymous in game feedback item from a Kickstarter backer wanting to see some game stats and something like a high score board to give players something to work towards during replays. With the introduction of the Gauntlet game mode it made a lot of sense to put this in there now but we also decided to do it for all game modes. Now when you beat the story mode or die in any permadeath mode, game stats are displayed on screen and that player may be inducted into the "Hall of Fame" for the current game mode.
