Hello Guild Leaders!

This last week a whole lot of bugs were fixed - including inventory glitches, "ability uses" not being stored properly with trinkets, and others!


Even this weird bug where text bubbles were cut off was fixed!



So now that Netherguild is far more stable...

Next up, for a week to two weeks I plan on adding a handful of skills to the game for build variety, as well as the infrastructure for updating skill trees in existing saves when they get modified in updates, and some possible much needed re-balances. Might add some extra polishing and equipment too if time allows!

If you have ideas and suggestions for new skills you'd like to see on any of the current classes / backgrounds, feel free to share them as comments on this post or in the #brainstorming channel on the Discord! (:



Also, I'm never really away from bugfixing - But since Netherguild became a lot more stable, I am shifting my focus towards new content... for now. As always, if there's persistent bugs in the game that weren't fixed so far and you'd like to see fixed in the future, feel free to let me know in the bug reporting forum or via the Discord.

Thank you for reading and see you next update!
-David
