Updates are progressing well, and I realize that with the quantity of elements modified and added, I’m getting closer and closer to the final version of the game I envision.

I aim to release the game in its final version, version 1.0, by the end of 2025. However, if I’m not fully satisfied with the game at that point, the release will, of course, be postponed.

Major updates should now come faster, approximately every three months instead of the usual four.

Here’s what you can expect from each major update:

End of Update 0.4

  • Boss improvements.

  • Implementation of the remaining hidden keys (1 Demonic and 5 Death keys).

  • A new interface to visualize links between skills, equipment effects, gear sets, talents, skill categories, etc.

  • Improvements to the runic word interface.

Update 0.5 (Season 3) – Early February 2025

  • Steam Cloud integration.

  • The content associated with the Demonic Keys will be revealed with the launch of Season 3.

  • A rework of how the energy shield functions.

  • New anti-cheat systems.

  • Guild improvements.

  • Enhancements to the endgame dungeon system with several new dungeons, featuring fog of war mechanics.

Update 0.6 or Version 1.0 (Season 4) – Early May 2025

  • Full controller support with a dual shortcut configuration.

  • The content tied to the Death Keys will be revealed with the launch of Season 4.

  • Removal, replacement, and addition of new talents.

Update 0.7, officially Version 1.0 (Season 5) – August 2025

  • Visual improvements to skills.

  • Quality-of-life enhancements.

In addition to these key updates, I will focus on balancing the game, addressing bugs as quickly as possible, and implementing further quality-of-life improvements.

I remain very active on Discord, so don’t hesitate to join and chat with me or the community!
