addedCAAAAAAVE CRAWLERS!The next content update for Cave Crawlers is right around the corner! While 0.88 is primarily an update focused on fixes and polish, we still have some exciting new content coming with the update that I'd like to give a little sneak peek into!
addedNew Community Puzzle:The bulk of the new content will be unlocked by completing a community-driven puzzle! I do not want to spoil too much of what this puzzle includes, but it has a focus on the game's lore and introduces questlines to the game! Questlines are a series of tasks that have a significant reward at the end, such as unlocking a new room to access or a new item that can spawn within your runs. This community-driven questline will unlock a new secret mini-biome similar to the catacombs for players to access!
addedBarrels:Barrels are a new loot container you'll find within and near mineshafts. Barrels are quite similar to crates, but primarily have items such as tools and utility items, rather than potions. They have a much higher chance than crates to drop an item, but are a bit rarer and take a few extra hits to break.
addedEvent Room Variants: Steam post imageEvent room variants are being properly introduced with 0.88, with more coming into existing event rooms in future updates.
addedFinal Thoughts:As for when 0.88 will release, I do not have a specific release date to share, but I can safely say we are nearly finished developing the new content and are beginning to focus on polish.

One of the two secret mobs you can find within 0.88 ;)
Final Thoughts:
There are a lot of boring fixes and balancing changes coming in 0.88 that I am leaving for the release patch notes, but I wanted to share some of the cool content we're cooking up. While it's not our largest update or anything too wild, 0.88 is still a fairly significant update that we are very excited to get out to all of you!
As for when 0.88 will release, I do not have a specific release date to share, but I can safely say we are nearly finished developing the new content and are beginning to focus on polish.
