Runers news & patch notes

Hello Runers! After a long time of no patch, I hope this one is satisfying. This patch contains local cooperative with multiple controllers. Play with your friends and delve as deep as you can using teamwork and such. There were also a large number of trait balance changes done to hopefully make more traits viable and consistent. You should read the full changelog here for more info on the changes: http://steamcommunity.com/app/306550/discussions/0/34095051755785214/ To make it clear, to activate local coop you should plug in 2-4 controllers and go to the difficulty selection screen. There additional players can press start to join in. Everyone has their own health, and when going down a floor all dead players will revive at 20 health. There are increased drop rates when more players are playing. Also runes, spells, and combiners can all be dropped from the inventory using the Y button. Sharing is caring! Make the best loadouts you can and synergize with your friends. There are still video issues occasionally I am still looking into. It is best to not minimize the game or move it between monitors for now. Thanks for understanding! ːlight_runeːːdark_runeːːwater_runeː

Hello fellow Runers! Tonight I bring exciting news: I have just put up a beta for local co-op! You can now explore and combine with 2-4 players, you just need to press start to join in when selecting a difficulty. The single player experience is largely unchanged, but a few things changed to support multiple people:

• Runes can be dropped on the ground from your inventory
• Spells can be dropped on the ground from your inventory
• Enemy health and drop rates have increased for each player in the game

Remember this is a beta, so there may be issues. To access the beta, or to report anything you find, head to the beta testing thread in the Runers forum here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/306550/discussions/0/613936039392871250/ In that thread you can also find known issues, which we are working on clearing up. A more detailed writeup will be provided next week detailing some more specific information about what changed and how some things work, along with the beta changelog. Happy combining! ːshock_runeː ːearth_runeː ːfire_runeː

Hello fellow Runers! Today's patch bring a nice, expected feature lots of people were wondering about: Controller Support! The whole game should be playable via a controller without any need for a keyboard. There may be some improvements to make and some issues to resolve, so let us know if you have any comments! The living room is now a viable place to explore and combine! Hurrah! Our focus this next week will be balancing and stability. Some spells are too good, others not good enough. We hope to remedy that! If you think any spells are too good or not good enough, let us know in the comments or on the forum. Of course, here are the patch notes too. ːfire_runeː

1.0.0.17 - 09/28/2014

Highlights: - Controller support has been added! The controller can control all parts of the game without the need of mouse and keyboard. Controls seemlessly switch between controller and mouse and keyboard. - Added an internal spell queue to help cast click slot spells. This has an option in the options screen for the duration of spell queueing. Gameplay: - Toggling autofire no longer uses or is dependant on global cooldown - Added a 2 second pause before you can pick a prize or a trait - Carapace now uses components correctly Visual: - Fixed Dark Manifestation showing s instead of % for manifest component - Hover over spell info now works during prize and level panels Bugfixes: - Fixed a case where a boss fight would not end

We realise that having a demo these days is an odd thing to have, but they really shouldn't be. So if you fancy giving the game a try before you buy please install the demo from the store page. http://store.steampowered.com/app/317210/ Enjoy, we hope :) Mastertronic / LGK Games
