v1.77 Patch Notes

Hi folks,

We just released a new content patch for DemonCrawl!

This update includes 6 new items, an engine improvement that allows us to create consumable items with targeted effects, several redesigned sprites and balance changes.

Also, you can now create parties in Arena by inviting people from your Steam friends list! This feature is still a work in progress, so you may need to be a bit gentle with it.



Full patch notes are below. Enjoy!

P.S. The Summer Event has drawn to a close. Thank you to all those who participated and provided feedback on the holiday mechanics!

Minesweeper inspired game DemonCrawl gets an auto-sweeping online Arena mode
