Deck of Ashes News

Hello folks!

You were probably wondering about the progress on our beloved and vile mini-bosses that were born during in the "Design-a-Miniboss" contest. Well, we thought that the Spooktober is the best month to start sharing news, so strap in for a weekly series of introductions of our upcoming mini-bosses!

MEET RAT KING

Please take a look at the design of the Rat King (created by Discord user @chronolizzard)



The Rat King is a collection of rats powered by the dominating goal of survival tied together by their tails. The Ash Curse bound them in a macabre joke from an elaborate myth. Rats normally thrive in sewers feeding on debris and refuse from humans, but as they started collecting together, they consumed more. The Rat King departed the sewers in search of more food, not making it too far as the writing mass attempts to go in multiple directions at once, only focusing on one goal when food is present.

You'll meet Rat King and other mini-bosses very soon! And for now, stay tuned for more info.

Hello friends! Here is a new character in all it's glory! ːsteamhappyː

Remember, we asked you to guess which concept will be the basis of the new character? The time to refresh your memory has come. So, which one of you hit the spot? :)

In the next post, we will continue to share the details of the development and give more details about the new character. Let's dream up about the new character's abilities. What will they be like? What skillset will fully reflect the essence of this character?

Hello, folks! ːsteamhappyː

Some time has passed since the Deck of Ashes release. We are sincerely happy to watch you learn the game, enjoy the characters, use different combinations of card decks, and sometimes resent the complexity of some bosses :)

We are happy to announce that our work is not standing still. We have studied your feedback, noted for yourself what you liked and disliked and started work on the next character, which will be available later as the DLC for the main game.

Above you can see the concepts of the new character created by our artists.

And the mini-quest for you: the concept under what number became the basis for creating the appearance of the new character?
