changedReworking item types in general to be improved.
changedReworking the item tooltip so players get as much information as possible.
addedThis update will not contain any new crafting stuff, in fact most of the crafting stuff will be more or less the same until next update.
changedAs of today, every item has been recoded into the game, and all the item systems are finished. Since a huge chunk of the game has been edited or rewritten, there's plenty of bugs which need to be found. So in order to avoid just throwing out the update into the wild like I usually do, I've decided to create a buggy beta branch on steam for players to test. You can enter the beta on steam with the password IDoNotCareAboutBugs The beta will be very buggy and you will probably lose many runs to random bugs, which I imagine isn't particularly fun. However if you do decide to play, I would love bug reports over on the discord!

So to recap the major points of this update:

  • Rewritting the item system to allow for stuff like saving/translations.

  • Allowing items to have more than one prefix so loot (and eventually crafting) is more interesting.

  • Reworking item types in general to be improved.

  • Reworking the item tooltip so players get as much information as possible.

This update will not contain any new crafting stuff, in fact most of the crafting stuff will be more or less the same until next update.

I'm sorry for the radio silence as I worked over the past few months, Once I realised I should probably say something to confirm I'm not dead, I didn't want to make a news post after all this time without at least something being available for you guys to try out.

Thank you for your patience if you're still sticking around, and I'll hopefully have a stable version out soon o/
