from here on out we will be focusing on doing weekly updates. outside of more bug fixes we plan on working on re-balancing items and bosses you felt sucked, so its a buff to the most commonly passed items, and easiest bosses. we also have a bunch of new SFX we will be adding and doing a polish pass on the most requested visual improvements!

thanks again for all the support, we have a few things planned for the new year and will def be doing a dlc next year for sure. we should also announce our console plans soon as well.

see you next week!

at this point we should have 99% of all soft locks removed from the game, but minor visual bugs and item combo effect bugs may remain. we will continue our quest on Monday! so expect an update at some point then.

we hope to expand to additional features as well as start a polish pass based on your feedback mid next week.

thanks so much to everyone who submitted ideas and wanted features on my forum post. you guys have great ideas especially about how the game could control with a gamepad, so thanks a ton for that.

currently after we are 100% these are some of your suggestions id like to explore in the future.
-add end turn button ( if we add it it will be added as an option you can turn on/off )
-add toolkit pop overs ( mainly for mouse over states on trinkets )
-make sure spell hud is visible in treasure rooms.
-being able to pass on spells in late game.
-general quality of life mouse over states for the board and hud.

im also having Ridiculon do a new custom final boss track next week, since i think it deserves one :)

see you monday!

balance notes:
- reworded unlock text for bum-bo the dead
- raised cost of charge reduce needle to 7c.
- made it so the dead no longer can use mana reduce needles in shop ( they no longer spawn for him )

new additions:
- Started additional sound pass ( we noticed people feeling that sfx sounded sparse places, especially bosses )
you should notice more added sfx in the coming updates.

--------------------

Next on the list:
general bug fixes and quality of life updates.
add ability to pass on a spell if you have max spells.
an extra bonus at 100%.
achievements.
add steam cloud support.
add sound options.
add saving and loading ( so you can quit a run and come back to it )

we should have most or all of these in by the end of next week but will update as much and as often as possible. we have another general fix/update planned for tomorrow that should put them game at 99% bug free and we will start working on the additional features listed above next week!

i also want to say how much we appreciate those who are understanding about our situation, the praise is amazing, but its obvious the general consensus with fans seems to be that the game feels more like early access to them and unfinished/buggy. we are doing our best to address these issues and hope to really change how you feel about the project soon. i believe strongly in bum-bo and James, im positive we can get it to a near perfect state soon enough.

till tomorrow!
