Backpack Hero News

[h2]Hey, Backpackers! [/h2]

The day you've all been waiting for has finally come! Backpack Hero now officially supports mods! 🎉 Mod support is live now on the public testing branch! You can find more information about changing branches here!

The very first mod for the game has been created by the awesome Farlands group, and it's a big one! It brings in hundreds of new items that will add a ton of fun to your dungeon runs. You can easily add the mod to your game by subscribing to it on the Steam workshop 🔨

If you want to learn more about creating your own mods, check out the documentation HERE.

We're planning to expand the modding possibilities even further down the road. So start brainstorming your ideas to make your journey as a Backpack Hero even more exciting!

We hope you have a blast with all these new items ❤️

Bug fixes from the last update!

Updated translations - specifically Korean and Chinese

Bug Fixes:
Fixed a glitch where the cotton didn't save properly
Fixed a glitch where destroying multiple hazards would trigger end-of-combat effects multiple times
Fixed a glitch where item spaces could be improperly saved leading to CR8 charges being deactivated
You can no longer move on the map while viewing events or the options menu (should fix some associated glitches)
Fixed a glitch with item-creation items. Should be able to use coral and old-log appropriately now.
You can no longer "fire blank energy" after reorganizing or losing energy as CR8. The energy puff will just go away - ending your turn
Improved a delay when you have lots of items in your inventory that was effecting some players
Added another safe-guard to prevent out-of-alignment loading
You can no longer drag items while viewing options and other pop-ups

[h2]Hey, Backpackers![/h2]

A new update is here! We’ve been working hard on the 1.0 release, so we’re especially excited to finally give you something big in the meantime!

[h3]What’s waiting for you?[/h3]
💎 Totally redesigned relics with changed effects, and some new ones
🦨 New events featuring the capybara and the possum
👻 Ghostly items - they can’t be detected in your backpack by other items, so you can create amazing synergies
🐭 Atlas items can now be organized by character
🗡️ Several new items (including the wooden knife)
🤖 CR-8 can now benefit from energy-giving items - they will add energy to the core
🐰 Matthew has been redesigned - you’ll get different items from him now
🪄 Improved performance and bug fixes for mana networks
🎵 New sound effects
🚪 New art for different doorways


[h3]What can you expect next?[/h3]
We’re finally working on mod support! It’s super exciting, seeing how many cool new items will be available in the game! We hope to make it available sometime in August. If everything goes well, other kinds of mods will be supported too. New enemies? Custom dungeons? You name it! But that’s for later 🐭

Other than that, we’re constantly working hard on the story mode. Thanks to our testers’ feedback we know that we still need to make a few changes. We've already closed the tester survey, and we wanted to thank you all for filling it out - the number of responses exceeded our wildest expectations! We definitely need a while to process your applications, but keep an eye out for an email from us 📧

Thank you for your support! Hope you have lots of fun with the new update ❤️

[h2]Hi, Backpackers![/h2]

Lately we've been working hard on making story mode a reality and now we need you to help us by testing it! Whether you're a seasoned Backpacker or haven't played Backpack Hero yet, it doesn't matter - your feedback will give us the right direction to improve Haversack Hill 🏘️

[h3]Take the survey to be one of the first to play Backpack Hero's story mode 🎮[/h3]
You'll get to see how meta progression works. The items you bring from the dungeons after every run will help you rebuild the town and bring it back to its former glory. You'll also meet Haversack Hill's residents, hear their stories and discover Backpack Hero's lore!

Story mode is an important part of Backpack Hero's 1.0 release. It will make a big difference, expand the gameplay, and add more depth, so we really want to make it right!



If you don't have Backpack Hero in your Steam library yet and want to test it, we have some town keys to give away! 🗝️
We will select a handful of players who match our needs best and distribute the keys among them, so keep an eye on your inbox 📧

[h2]🐭 APPLY HERE! 🐭[/h2]
