Hello Aspirants,
Muh friends! Patch 3 is here already! In this patch I did various bugfixing but also applied lots of feedback and balancing suggestions. I've started working on some QoL features that are requested like cursor settings and improvements. More to come soon, like comparing item stats with your own in the shop.
Soon we will start the very first contest Aspirant! If you'd like to participate and have a chance to win access to the full playtest version, join the community on discord and await instructions! https://discord.com/invite/eCdUxht
Demo Patch 3 - Changelog:
MAJOR
- New! Anvil Ram helm. Fragile but the audience loves it.
