Build 0.6.13 - New XP System + more
Some big changes have arrived in Keeper's Toll.
[h2]Class XP[/h2]
Gold is no longer the currency that will be used to upgrade Character Class Talents. Instead, Each class will earn their own XP and this XP will be used to upgrade talents in their own tree. XP is earned in many different ways in a run, but in general, the longer you survive and the more things you interact with and the more enemies you defeat, the more XP you will earn.
[h2]Gold[/h2]
Gold is now used exclusively for purchasing items from the Merchant. Gold is also now pooled together for all characters. We want the Merchant to become a very important part of any run, especially as we move ahead to Castle Usvit (version 0.7).
We may have further uses for Gold in the future, but it will always remain pooled for all characters going forward.
For players with existing save data, we migrate and convert your Gold to XP on first launch, and then we pool your existing gold together. If you encounter any issues please reach out to us.
[h2]Halloween Event[/h2]
The Halloween Event is coming to an end. Can you slay the Pumpking and loot his crown? We will likely leave the event live until the next minor update.
[h2]Future Updates[/h2]
Since we launched in Early Access we have released a consistent stream of updates to the game. Over the next couple of months we will need to dial back the release of game updates so we can stay focused on version 0.7 of the game which will bring about the largest content update yet. This has been a massive undertaking for us, and we really need to stay focused to get this done. We will still release some updates while we remain in version 0.6 of the game, and we encourage everyone to keep providing us with feedback and suggestions, but our main priority is getting version 0.7 released as soon as possible. Version 0.7 will take the game to the next level and get us closer to the vision of where we always intended to take the game. We have a lot of announcements to make over the course of the coming months, including many good surprises. Just know we're working extremely hard to get to the next milestone in Early Access, and it won't be too long until we can preview some of what we've been up to.
