Don't Die, Collect Loot News

Hi again everyone! Thanks a ton for all the love and feedback for the game, it really warms my heart as a solo dev to see my passion project get so much attention. I hope you're all having fun, and don't forget to let me know if anything can be improved or is bugging you.

This hotfix mainly focuses on fixing major reported issues from player feedback, along with improving a few systems.

I'll likely be looking at the Arcanist earlygame soon, in hopes of making starting with her a bit easier.

• Fixed some missing Exploration tree text
  
• Fixed an instance of boss life bars sticking on your screen after Challenge mode failures
  
• Fixed some text errors with the Rune Spiral skill's upgrades
