Hello everyone! Thanks again for all the support and feedback over the last month.

I've been working on a new content update featuring new items, skills, and characters and today I wanted to share some of that progress.

The update will contain 2 new characters:

The first new character, "The Tinker", will be focused on the entirely new item type: Tools.

These items have special powerful "Use" triggers that must be activated through other items or skills, with various synergies with the preexisting Mech/Wand builds, of course.

Here's a small preview of some of the new items from the Tool item type:

The second new character, "The Hunter", will be a Pet-focused class that starts with a special companion beast and a special pet-scaling ability. More info on that later!

Along with the new content, the update will also include a shop-pool rework to ensure that characters have more defined identities and play-styles.

All in all, It should be releasing around early May.

Stay tuned for more news and as usual, you can reach out any time with feedback or questions on our community Discord or Steam discussion board.
