| Update | Date | Excerpt / source |
|---|---|---|
| Bug fixes (1.2.2078) | 2025-07-11 | Fix the hidden regression bug since the 2024/10 update, that the HARD difficulty enemies used wrong stat switching with NORMAL mode. It should now work correctly. So by this update enemies in HARD mode should have their aggressive behavior restored (as it should originally be). For example, when the dragon boss landed, there should be extra shockwave in HARD mode, which was previously disappeared since 2024/10 update. Raise initial item weight carry capacity for players, around +40%. Since there is a long time complain about item weight limitation, this topic has been reconsidered. |

(more info below) (Community suggestion) Bot's voice was too annoying so I turn them off for now. There will be ways to customize bots later including their weapons and models when the bot system becomes more mature. Exploring the lobby Wow I love the (fake) MMO vibes! You can enter from this menu: There is also testing ground to test your DPS. Here is the benefit when you are using the testing ground: Food, ammo is not reduced. Equipment durability is not reduced. However there will be also limitations due t |

New things Game pad icons can be override in option screen. Previously it will auto detect from controller reported from the system but having an option to override it is better.

Fix the perk 'Keris' (more backstab damage) and 'Thunder spear' (more damage while on high speed) effect did not applied. New things Previously we have each level up perk selection for each type of weapon (sword, dagger, spear, ranged, magic) this design will lock player to play certain weapon for the rest of the run which is not very flexible.

The jumping damage number will leave some inter |
| Fix a critical item level bug for EU players (1.1.2000) | 2024-08-20 | 1.1.2000 Fix a critical bug currently affecting only players who is on EU locale which will generate items with broken levels. I cannot imagine equipping a CURSED Lv.301 sword, my entire life and my after life would be cursed... ːlunar2020horrifiedratː ːlunar2020horrifiedratː For technical note, this was from difference between data passing around in the game, also including data that was passing around between network when playing in MP. There was an oversight to internal number formatting and for example the value 0.25 (quarter) will be printed into "0,25" in EU locale, passing around in the system and network, and then the non-EU client wi |
| Discord Created | 2024-08-19 | Discord server is finally created after some thoughts. You can come and just lurking waiting for next update, that's fine, or looting, that's also fine! https://discord.gg/XFSrPfjsep That's all, below is just usual extra rant Q&A. ---------------------- Wait, why Discord server took so long? Initially I saw player base are just playing in their friend group and there was very limited number of player who want to open or join the public room, so it was my own assumption that there were no need, plus the game did not reached that significant scale anyway. The second reason, of my own little silly excuse, that I'm not much of a discord person my |
| Rework on Adventurer class (1.1.1997) | 2024-07-12 | 1.1.1997 Rework on Adventurer class Change design on Deleter timeout to spawn group of shadow enemies instead Fix a bug when clicking browse icon in blacksmith menu will popup a dialog that could not get rid of Fix a bug when defining custom keyboard control with arrow keys will conflict with camera control Adventurer TL;DR: The class got its 3 skills reworked and is now center its play on counter attacks. COOL Sweep, previously it could stun you if spin too much, now it will never, instead it will spin longer, shoots shockwaves but have longer cooldown. COOL Dash, the hitbox is larger and also now stuns enemies. COOL Stance, is the new skill |

| Fix final boss maze switch on warp (1.0.1962) | 2024-05-31 | 1.0.1962 Fix final boss' maze switch minigame where switch could spawn inside exit warp and you wont be able to use the warp. Now you can exit! Even if the RNG tries to be cruel to you. |
| Fix final boss maze switch placement (1.0.1961) | 2024-05-29 | 1.0.1961 Fix final boss' maze switch minigame where switch could spawn outside boundary. Maze Switch This could happen in very high difficulty setting as more switches will spawn. It has very small chance to pick the "fallback" spawn location when the code failed to find the ground, thus it spawn in the center of the room, which specific room like in the screenshot has hollow in the center, making switch unreachable and make the game impossible. The new version will stop using "center of the room" as fallback position and try to place it in the starting room instead. |
| End-game rebalance (1.0.1958) | 2024-05-27 | 1.0.1958 Rebalance item quality in higher difficulty Reduce material cost in blacksmith Hard mode last boss will guarantee to drop 2 pro repair kit instead of randomized between 1-2 pcs Minor code error fixed Item quality in higher difficulty In the previous version, the item scaling on very high difficulty like HARD+20 was not appealing making it pointless to play. In this update, mainly the item in LP shop and drop from last boss will see a significant bump in quality. The item dropped from normal monster and boxes will only see small ramp in quality. Here is snapshot of LP shop item listing on HARD+20 before and after this update. As a res |
| Bug fixes (1.0.1955) | 2024-05-17 | 1.0.1955 A regular bug fix Make all characters movement come into stop faster (reduce sliding). This will primarily reduce slippery feeling when controlling player. Remove the "Early Access" notice popup in the title screen which I somehow totally forgot. (oops) Fix a glitch when chaining an attack and then spamming skill button will result in skill target at feet position instead of mouse position. (Keyboard-mouse control) Reduce "cursed" item DEF down effect (which makes you take more damage) from -30% - -60% to -20% - -40% range. Give +30% more exp to bots so they can LV up faster and should be a little bit stronger on the later part of th |
| Bug fixes and community suggestion (1.0.1950) | 2024-05-15 | 1.0.1950 A hot fix for 1.0. These are community suggestion I gathered from forum and reviews. One review suggest that AI bots should be able to auto revive, so bots can now auto revive itself in ~40 seconds, or you can help pull them up just like before. Game will still over if all players and bots are incapacitated. Gamepad R-Stick can be used to control turning and aiming. Before it was tied to camera control which is not really useful feature. Numerous reviews point out that game movement is sluggish, so I increase all player's acceleration (max speed stay the same) from 5 -> 8 (+60%) and player turning speed from 3 -> 4 (+25%) that should |
| Update 0.16 BOT BOT BOTs | 2024-03-10 | New Stuffs Career mode will have an option to add basic bots! - Bots will follow you and help you do basic task in the dungeon such as attacking enemies, smash boxes, revive you and their teammate (YES they can!). - With limitation that they will use only sword as their weapon for now, no classes, no skills, won't pickup item (no stealing yep that's good thing) - Bots will not count toward waiting player while starting an event, nor does not incur penalty if left dead when you going to the next floor. - Bots are very energetic to do their job!

| Revise Speed Strike Formula (Update 1775) | 2023-09-11 | Update 1775 Adjust how speed strike is calculated (your speed vs target speed) more detail below. In summary, you should see damage increase in speed build such as spear build. Increase move speed and turn speed for player's large sword moves. 0.2x move speed and 0.15x turn speed while swinging, to 0.4x move speed and 0.2x turn speed. It will be less sluggish when swing. Speed strike Before this update, speed strike worked by adding velocity of both parties (adding vectors), if you are running right with speed 4 and target is running left with speed 2 and you land a spear hit on it, enemy got hit harder because it is also running into you, it |

| Fix bad switch placement (Update 1539) | 2023-03-28 | Update 1539 Fix a bug where objective switch could be placed in unreachable locations which will make floor becomes unwinnable.

| Fix error when rejoin a room (Update 1535) | 2023-03-25 | Update 1535 Fix an error in rejoin offer dialog on title screen (if you were disconnected during the game and back to title screen) Previously it will play repeated sound and rejoin process will fail, this patch should fix that. Note that rejoining back to the game (with level and inventory retained) only supported for "interrupted connection", it does not supported if game is crashed at the moment. (Your run progress will be lost in such case) For those who never see this screen, you're good! I hope you ever don't have to :) |
| Small bug fixes (Update 1532) | 2023-03-23 | Update 1532 Fix option item "Show Attack Range" = OFF does not work. Fix option item "Show Control Tutorial" = OFF will have effect immediately. Fix map generator can sometimes place objective switch in unreachable place. |
| Item Modifier Tiers (Update 1526) | 2023-03-14 | TL;DR Update 1526 Change item modifiers to be displayed in tiers from 1 to 5, each tier has different drop rate. Change LP shop to have items with higher modifier tier. Small bug fixes (details below) Here is a small update to game mechanic that I wanted to ship before the lengthy process of adding HARD mode. Previously, when the game add a line of upgrade (modifiers) to an item, behind the scene it will also roll power magnitude from 1 to 10 with 10 having max effect, but those 1-10 number were not displayed to player because I wanted to keep things simple. The only way player can confirm these differences is to go into item info popup in de |
| Update 0.12 New Class - New Theme | 2023-03-05 | This is content update pushing toward full release. 0.12.1518 or simply "1518" New Stuffs New class: Rogue A class specialized in daggers and can even dual-wield them! - They have a 6-combo attack! Backstab for maximum damage! Who needs guarding? Dodge roll FOR THE WIN! - Rogue's guard action is replaced by a dodge roll which completely nullifies damage! But there's a catch though. And 3 skills to help rogue dodge the dodgy situations! - Sonic Slash: A fast long reach 8-hit attack. Since dagger's reach is short, this extra range offer is very much welcome. - Smoke Bomb: Got dozen of enemies on hot pursuit? This ninja tech is the way to go. - |
