Devlog #08 | New Character “Mushroom Mage” & Demo / Full Version Update

⚔️ Hello Adventurers!

Thank you so much for supporting and playtesting BitHero Survivors 💙 Today we have a big update to share — including a brand-new playable character, new relics, important system changes, and more.

🍄 New Playable Character — Mushroom Mage

We’ve added a new character: Mushroom Mage, a close-range spellcaster who fights using Sporebrella: a red mushroom umbrella that releases spores around her.

Her gameplay is built around Max HP and Vitality:

• More HP means more damage

• More HP means stronger sustain

Our goal is to make her a “tank-style mage” — a character that can heal, take hits, and stay inside the fight.

🎮 New Weapon & Evolutions

Along with Mushroom Mage, her weapon line is now in its first playable form:

Mycelial Bloom

When enemies are inside the attack area, it provides healing to the player.

Sporeheart

Spawn little mushrooms as minions nearby that:

• Exist for a short time

• Deal their own AoE damage

• Add extra battlefield control

This creates a very different playstyle focused on HP, sustain, and area control.

🪄New Relics

We also added four new relics:

• Life Pendant — increase vitality (affects Max HP)

  

• Healing Bracelet — Increase HP regeneration

• Veterans Guide — increases experience gain

• Collectors Bell — increases item pickup range

✨ Visual Improvements

• Added new healing effects so recovery feels clearer and more satisfying

• Healing feedback is now much easier to read during combat

• Adjusted Global Light and Cloud shadow effect for better experience

🔁 Reroll System

You can now reroll level-up choices.

Each run and characters has a limited number of rerolls, but using them wisely helps prevent your build from going in the wrong direction.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where restarting after clearing a stage could grant incorrect EXP

• Fixed incorrect Max HP calculations

📢 Demo & Full Game Separation

The Demo and Full Version are now officially separated.

The Demo includes:

• The first 2 characters：Young Hero and Alchemist

• Stage 1: Mushroom Grassland

• The initial 8 relics for basic but varity builds and playstyles

Your Demo save file will carry over to the full game.

We are releasing the Full Version (Early Access) on March — thank you for supporting us!

☁️ Cloud Save (with a special system)

The full version now supports Cloud Save, and we built a special system for it.

Even if you play on two different machines at the same time and create two different saves, the system will merge them instead of overwriting one — so your progress is never lost.

Huge thanks to our programmer for making this possible 🙏

Thank you again for supporting BitHero Survivors 💙 If you enjoy the game, please consider buying the full version and leaving a review — it really helps us continue development!
