An announcement about the Inner Mirror update

The Inner Mirror update that was scheduled for today has unfortunately been pushed back by about two weeks. We apologize for the disappointment for those of you who have been waiting for this update. The actual development time required was greater than we had anticipated, and we'll need about two more weeks of development than we had promised. We're behind schedule, but we'll make up for it by delivering a more polished product. And to make sure you don't get bored during the two-week wait, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what we're working on for the next update with this announcement.

Inner Mirror

The Inner Mirror is a small, gold-trimmed mirror in one corner of the inn. The character looking into the mirror is confronted with his own face, as Toby says, "I see myself turning into a monster." But when he looks deeper into that face... a hidden inner self is revealed.

Origins of Skills

Beyond your demonized face, your character's potential shimmers. Face your true self and embrace it. You can tap into your character's previous memories and revive skills from their human days. Or you can adapt to your changing form and harness its brutal, merciless power. It's up to you to decide which abilities to use to strengthen your character.

Make strategic choices

Higher-cost skills have more powerful effects, but sometimes two lower-cost skills can be more powerful. Try to buy skills strategically so that they synergize with each other. You can reset equipped Skills at any time to try different strategies.

Earning Potential Points

At first, you may not have enough Potential Points to equip expensive skills or unlock locked slots, but don't let that stop you from tackling the dungeon again! Potential Points are earned by leveling up and surviving more intense fires.

Story Cartoon

We want to tell the story of the game's world and its main character, Toby, through a webcomic. The story webcomic is currently fully drawn, but the translation and skip functionality is not yet implemented. We'd love to get the webcomic into the game as soon as possible, but it's taking priority over Mirror, so we're delaying it a bit.

Added Inn NPCs

A new group of guests has joined the Inn. These four distinctive-looking individuals have presumably fallen victim to a demonic "wish gun" like Toby. Introducing themselves as being from the "Tumblebuck Patron Clan," these half-humans are expected to make the Inn a little more lively, although they don't interact much.

Next Update Announcement

The next update is expected on February 15th, Pacific Time, and will include an update to the 'Inner Mirror', a new skill puck system.

Beta Test

Starting February 7, you'll be able to preview the next update with a beta test. Not all features will be implemented, but you'll be able to try out the Skill Puck. Previously, we've only given beta access to Tumble Buck backers, but we'll also be giving it to some streamers who have been active on our official Discord channel. Pixel Gunmaster Discord

※ Please note that beta testing privileges are awarded by us, not by you. You do not need to apply via email.

Reset Progress

Attention! In the next update, your game progress will be reset. This is necessary in order to implement the new system, so we ask for your understanding. Elements that will be reset include your level, experience, fire and brimstone stages, and dialog progress.

So when is the next stage coming out?

We know that many of you are waiting for the next stage update. We'll be working on the next priority, "Region 2 Ice Cave," right after this update, so stay tuned for that.
