Lootun News

I am please to announce that Lootun 1.0 will release on May 10th and with it the game will be released from Early Access!

Upon release from Early Access the price of the game will increase by a small amount (approximately 10%) in most regions to account for the large amount of content added during Early Access.

Important: The removal of the Early Access flag and it's associated price increase have been delayed due to some technical issues, I am very sorry about this and looking to get the release from Early Access approved as soon as possible. The 1.0 update should be released as normal.

Update: This issue has been resolved as of the 14th of May.

I would like to thank everyone for their support and feedback that has helped shape the game during Early Access. Post release I will continue to provide bug fixes and quality of life additions based on player feedback.

I am pleased to announce that the Beta for the 1.0 Update has now been released! Please find below information on how to access the Beta alongside the 1.0 Changelog.

[h2]Beta Information:[/h2]
For the most part the 1.0 Beta is content complete, however I will be adding a number of quality of life additions and polish during the duration of the Beta. You may also experience bugs or balance issues during the Beta. I anticipate that the Beta will run for at least 4 weeks as I prepare the game for full release.

[h2]Save Data:[/h2]
The Beta will make use of your current Save Data and any progress you make during the Beta will be carried forward to the full release. Due to this you will be unable to play the beta and then return to the live version of the game (0.9.5.3) with the same save file. If you intend to play the Beta I strongly recommend that you create a backup of your save data.

Save data can be found at: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lootun

Alternatively you can create a backup of your save data in game by using the Export Save button and then importing your save data into a new save slot.

The Lootun Beta also introduces a number of new in game Achievements for the new content. Once 1.0 is fully released these Achievements will be added to Steam and any you have obtained in game will be automatically granted upon loading your save data.

[h2]Beta Access:[/h2]
You can gain access to the Beta through Steam. To do so, locate Lootun in your library -> Right Click -> Properties… -> Betas -> Enter the code “LootunBetaTest” and select the “1.0 Beta Branch” option from the list.

Greetings Everyone. I have been hard at work on the 1.0 update and would like to preview some of the new content and features you can expect to see once the update releases.


Tasks are a new type of quest system being added in 1.0 and will be available throughout the game. Tasks come in a number of different types.

[h2]Primary Tasks:[/h2]
Primary Tasks serve as the main quest-line through the game, guiding you from one Mission to the next and rewarding you with some currency and materials as you complete them. Primary Tasks will also replace the existing Ascendancy Challenges system.



[h2]Secondary Tasks:[/h2]
Secondary Tasks are relatively short, repeatable objectives that can be progressed simply by playing the game. Secondary Tasks will reward materials that can be used to craft new equipment or upgrade your existing equipment.



[h2]Hunts:[/h2]
Hunts unlock at level 101 and require you to clear specific missions in order to claim their rewards. Hunts can be very rewarding, providing you with rare Equipment bases, Divine Items and even Enchant Scrolls.



By default, Task rewards will be automatically claimed upon completion, however if your inventory is full when completing a Hunt you will need to manually claim the rewards.


The Endless Spires mission has been reworked into the new Endless Mode consisting of 4 different missions, including both 3 character missions and 6 character missions. As with the original Endless Spires, monsters will increase in level becoming more difficult to fight as you clear each floor.


When you begin a new Endless mission you will have the option to proceed to the next floor upon completion or to repeatedly farm the same floor.


Completing the first floor of each new Endless mission will unlock a Fated Augment. Fated Augments are powerful effects that can greatly boost the power of your characters. Each character may only have one Fated Augment active at a time.



As you progress through the new Endless missions your Fated Augments will level up, improving the strength of their base effects and unlocking new powerful passive effects.


1.0 will also introduce a new class, the Paladin! The Paladin has a full set of attacks, cooldowns and ascendancies to match the other classes. The Paladin is a versatile fighter with strong damage, tank, and support options to choose from.




The new Endless mode will also introduce many new Divine Items to hunt for and make use of.



1.0 will also feature a large number of bug-fixes, balance changes, and quality of life improvements.

In addition there are a number of smaller features to look forward to, such as:

• New Factions Passives allowing you to raise your Material Storage capacity and increase the chance to find Divine Items.
  
• New Endgame currency sinks for Gold, Rubies, Soul Orbs and Donation Credits.
  
• New Divine Augment system allowing you to gain the benefit of some additional Divine Item powers without needing to equip the Item.
  

That’s all for this preview, thank you for reading this far. I am very excited to bring this update to you and am hoping to release the 1.0 Beta next week.

As always feel free to leave any suggestions or comments here, or on the Discord.
