Hello fine sirs and madams,
today we present you the second update on Botlike's Early Access Road. We continued to work on the first milestone and are proud that we made it.
You can now merge items into superitems!
Well, to be sincere, right now there is only one superitem in the game: the Doomwatch.
Next patch in two weeks will bring more items, more superitems and possibly the first monsteritem.
Also this weeks patch includes the much requested inventory. There you see all your items listed, with descriptions on what they do. You can access your inventory by pressing „i“ on the keyboard and „y“ on gamepad.
How does merging items work?
A superitem needs two regular items, a monsteritem needs two superitems. When you obtain the second one it will automatically merge into the associated super or monsteritem. The newly merged item will still hold the effects of the previous ones and also will have its own effect.
Which items you are gonna need? This you have to find out for yourselves :)
