Skills & Raids News & Patch Notes

Hey everyone, I wanted to update the game to make the experience a little more enjoyable. There are still more things that I want to change, but I will work hard on that tomorrow. Here are the changes for today. The idea of these changes is to make the game a little more challenging to force players to use skills and strategy a little more. Changes

Increased the base damage of poison.
Rupture bleeding damage is reduced a bit.
Increase Toxic Shield duration and Toxic skin by 8.5s.
Increased Toxic Skin poison application chance to 35%
Increased the health of sinking graves and cold peaks enemies
Perishing deals more damage and consumes more Mshards.
Increased Frostbite Damage
Increased Tier 3 Encounter chance
Increased Damage of Septic Assault.
Healing node now recovers a little less health and mana.
The boss should now use the other skills with more frequency (he was spawning just eraser bite.)

Minor Fixes

Available Quest text is now correctly translated.
Fixed a bug where Thunder Strike would paralize a target forever.

I'm really sorry about the bugs and balance issues. Please keep in mind I'm a solo developer and this is my first project, and I couldn't playtest the game as much as I wanted to before release, but with time, I hope it will get better for you. I'm reading all the reviews carefully, and I want to improve the game as much as I can with the time I have. Also I will add the demo back as some people are requesting it.

Fixed a critical bug that prevented the boss from spawning. More bug fixes and balance adjustments are coming later today, but I wanted to get this critical fix out as quickly as possible. Thanks everyone for playing the game!

Thank you so much!

Wow, that's a lot of people. 10k wishlists is an amazing milestone that I thought I wouldn't reach. I want to thank everyone who has supported the game this far.

I'm really excited about the release of the game on July 27th, 2026. Mark your calendar!

I've been working hard on the game, making it the best I possibly can.

Hey everyone!

I've been working hard to improve the game as much as possible. Here are some of the changes, fixes, and improvements I've made.

Game Feel and Visual Improvements

Added a visual indicator to the modifier button in the Crafting tab.
Added new Sort Inventory and Transfer to Stash buttons to the Stash tab.
Renamed Fading Core Skills to Free Skills.
Improved enemy loot feedback to make rewards feel much more satisfying.
Added skill targeting indicators above characters, making it easier to see who can be targeted when a skill is selected.

Bugs and Balance

Healing Nodes now restore 50% of your Health and Mshard.
Fixed a visibility issue that could occur when interrupting a skill.
Slowed down the pace of combat slightly by reducing auto-attack speed and enemy skill casting speed.
Reduced the difficulty of The Sinking Graves and Cold Peaks.
Fixed an issue involving the Quest Log and Enter Nodes.
Fixed an issue when selecting a target with a skill selected (hopefully...)

We're now on Day 5 of Steam Next Fest, and we're so close to reaching 6,000 wishlists! Thank you so much for the incredible support. ❤️

Thanks for playing!

Hey everyone.

I made a short video about how the beta playtest went. TLDR: We gained 1500 wishlists, and we are now at 2700 wishlists, That's huge for me. Thank you so much!

I've gathered really good feedback, and I've learned a lot as a game designer :)

What is next?

Right now I'm working on the demo version for June's next fest and It should be ready really soon! (I'm basically waiting for steam to approve the page and demo)

After announcing the trailer, the feedback #1 that I receive was that people really wanted to see animations, and they were right! so I decided to work on it. I'm excited to let you all know that the game will have animations!

I'm working on a new trailer right now!

I just created a discord server to talk about the game and share game development insights.
