Dungeon dwellers: Welcome to patch v1.2.0 !
New Content:
– Choose from three difficulty modes
– More room layout variations
– A “Doctor” with a lot of interesting pills!
– 2 new weapons
– Combat stats on map screen (activate in Options > Preferences)
– Fixed Steam cloud save for Linux
Besides those, I also did a lot of balancing and difficulty tweaks and improvements to this build, added a few new “things” you’ll encounter in dungeon rooms, and fixed a host of tiny and rare issues.
What’s Next:
For the next update I’ll be focussing on “alternate areas” that you can uncover. So let’s say you get to push one of those statues at a certain room in a certain level, and it then reveals an opening towards a new special area where you can find an extremely rare item only found in that area?!
Or perhaps you find a “charger” which is needed to operate a Hypergate and gets you in a Space Grunts level to grab a futuristic weapon, opening up all sorts of new combo’s and unions? .. I got some ideas here!
Besides that I’m also beta testing the Nintendo Switch version, still some things to fix there and then it takes a few months to get it all setup for a release on Nintendo’s platform, but it will launch with the latest updates! Same goes for an Atari VCS release!
Thanks!
I’d also like to thank all the lovely reviews and comments and feedback I’m getting! Don’t forget you are always welcome to hang out on The Orangepixel Discord and talk about the game, give your thoughts and ideas and who knows, they might make it into the next update!
Merch!?
If you really like the game and want to support me some more, I got some cool Gauntlet of Power mousepads available over on the Orangepixel website if you’re interested!
