| Major Update: New Characters! | 2026-06-09 | Heya! Val here!As you can read, I've added new playable characters, as was long anticipated!There are also Steam achievements to grab now, with their unlocks tied to those..There's also some bugfixes and some items in there..Enjoy! ːcreepybugːEDIT: I forgot to mention! I reworked the custom character sprite procedure completely! All the player sprites are exposed, next to the executable in individual folders. The dimensions for player sprites can now be completely arbitrary and the origin point is defined in the "char.ini" file.

| Steam Achievements and Anubis Rework | 2026-06-03 | Added some preliminary Steam achievements and polished up the Anubis fight |
| Build 2.2 on Main! | 2026-05-19 | Hello, Ms. Plubsoft here! I've added a handful of events and items to the pool and am pushing all my trunk changes to main for visibility's sake so everyone can have some fun with it. If you all ask nicely I'll put the old version on a branch here for posterity.

| Version 2.1 [TRUNK] | 2025-02-13 | Some major overhauls to Doughball Descent are now live on the Trunk branch, if you don't know how to access beta versions on Steam, ask your local priest or rabbi! Significant reworks include: New Weight Stage system, thresholds are no longer every 100 lbs but rather at 100, 200, 400, etc. while remaining visually identical. This is just so you aren't at 10 crushes for 90% of the game. Now in Widescreen! Overhauled the UI and settings menu. Fun! Screen Wrapping, you can travel left forever now! The world loops around itself! This should hopefully alleviate some soft-locking as well as be interesting! I still have a lot of work to do on this m |
