Thank you for playing!
Remember if you enjoy the game, leaving a positive review is the best way to show your support.

You might need to restart Steam to get the update.



What's the beta?
The beta is another version of the game, a sort of test version for players who want to help test new features.

How do I join the Beta?
Right click Tiny Rogues in your Steam Library and select "Properties". Then select "Betas" and choose Beta in the drop-down menu.



This is the first chunk of changes for the 0.2.2 update. Focus was small tweaks, quick wins, some new toys, and lots of bug fixing. Also addressing some "exploit" issues because while fun at first, some strategies got a bit stale to most players.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed that the meta perk Magnum Opus applied a guaranteed negative modifier instead of the promised legendary modifier.
  
• Fixed the issue that Glass Cannon trait could be randomly rolled with Obsidian Dice.
  
• Fixed a bug where being judged as unworthy disabled interaction with the ichor bowl.
  
• Fixed a bug that the statues in the staircase rooms always talked to you even after you have progressed beyond floor 11 once already.
  
• Fixed a bug with aura infliction effectiveness, making traits like Unforgiving not scale them correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue where the verb forms of taunt, charm, fear, and intimidate were not highlighted as key tags. ("E.g.: fears, intimidates, charms, taunts)
• Fixed a bug where the green highlights caused by the [[]] brackets would not be resolved in dialogue messages.
  
• Fixed an issue where not all shops in the black market were correctly rerolled and restocked when staying overnight at the tavern.
  
• Fixed a bug with bending projectile, such as attacks from axes. This often lead to axes aiming into odd directions, especially while playing without mouse.
  
• Attempted to fix a bug where when a boss reward was guaranteed, there was a chance that both doors lead to that same boss reward. E.g.: guaranteed companion showing twice on floor 1 boss.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you had Mystical Belt or been playing as the Mystic, some non-charm items would sometimes randomly show double value of stats in description, but only once.
  
• Fixed a lot of random typos. (Not nearly enough though,...)
• Fixed a bug where Death could become invincible or get invisible lasers after transitioning to phase 2.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could get softlocked if you killed the left King's Guard boss too quickly before their dialogue would finish.
  
• Fixed that when using the double mimics perk, only one mimic would be active. Now both mimics will attack you.
  
• Fixed that mimics would always appear on the right door making them too predictable.
  
• Fixed that the Leviathan Axe would not spawn the room if worn in weapon swap slot.
  
• Fixed a bug where the cinder modifier Conqueror's Will would only subdue you but not your companions.
  
• Fixed that increased effect of stats, e.g.: from Mystic would double the mana drain gained from enchantments. Increased effect of mana drain now applies in inverse, reducing the mana drain instead.
  
• Fixed that Mystic was bugged, it only showed double the stat value on weapon enchantments but didn't actually double the stats you gained from it. (At least not always. Might still be a bit buggy...)
• Fixed an issue where Corruption would cap out at 51 stacks. It now caps out at 100 stacks.
  

[h2]General Changes[/h2]

• Christmas is over.
  
• New reward: Golden Cherries: Grant 10% increased trigger damage. Appear on floor 11 and floor 12.
  
• New reward: Golden Croissant: Grants 10% increased companion damage. Appears on floor 11 and floor 12.
  
• Golden Steak has been buffed, from granting 5% increased damage with non crits, to 10%.
  
• New ailment: Nature damage now by default applies Nettles, which is an ailment that increases effect of debuffs.
  
• Nature damage is now considered elemental damage.
  
• Mana power has shifted. Each point now grants 10% more damage, previously 20% but intelligence now grants 2.5% increased stats granted by mana, previously mana regeneration. Base mana regeneration has been increased by 25%, from 1.5 mana per second, to 2 mana per second, to compensate. Mana grew a bit out of control after giving more and more access to mana, e.g.: the bonfire. There is a lot of new ways to get non magic weapons to drain mana in this patch, and so that it doesn't take overhand mana now takes an investment to get back to previous state. At 40 intelligence, mana is the same as before, but you have a little bit less mana regeneration. Mana regeneration items have been buffed. (See below.) If you get above 40 intelligence, or make use of traits like Keen Mind, mana is even better than before. Also it is worth to mention that intelligence now scales additional effects from mana, e.g: the trait Dreamer. Overall mana is a lot worse if you aren't invested into it but better than before if you go all-in. More changes (new trait, new items,...) are also coming to support mana even further.
  
• Confusion now increases effect of all debuffs, not just emotion debuffs.
  
• Soul Pickups are now slightly attracted to the player.
  
• Flasks now take 2 seconds to drink, up from 1.5 seconds. I think it was a bit too easy to flask mid-combat and I want to entice you to try out the drink speed meta perk.
  
• Companions now scale to up to x5 damage, previously x4 at max level.
  
• Companions can catch up to enemies about 30% faster. Probably still too slow to catch enemies that teleport or charge a lot, but it's a step in the right direction.
  

[h2]Item Changes[/h2]

• New consumable: Maple Pine Resin: Grants a nature damage infusion.
  
• New consumable: Fairy Pine Resin: Grants a mana drain buff to your weapon.
  
• New consumable: Spore Pine Resin: Grants a poison damage infusion.
  
• New consumable: Fairy Tale Branch: Enchants weapon with the Arcane modifier.
  
• Storm in a Bottle: Damage scaling has been increased from +50% per level to +100% per level. Also now strikes 4 times per second, up from 3 times.
  
• Experimental: The Mana Catalyst, usually chosen as a gift, can now appear randomly in runs. (I might remove this item in the future and replace it with another gift.)
• Mana Orb: Now generates 1 mana on completing rotation, up from 0.5 mana.
  
• Mind Charm: Now grants 35% increased mana regeneration, up from 25%.
  
• Sorcerer Cloak: Now grants 45% increased mana regeneration, up from 35%.
  
• Magus Cap: Now grants 35% increased mana regeneration, up from 25%.
  
• Radio (Gift): Damage has been doubled.
  
• Replenishing Repair Powder (Gift): Replenishes slightly quicker.
  
• Soul Scarf (Gift): Only grants a Soul Heart when you recover a heart with it now.
  
• Poison Filled Jar (Gift): Instead of granting a poison infusion, now applies the Poisoned enchantment modifier to your weapon up to 3 times.
  
• Tent (Gift): Is now a charm and also recovers 2 hearts on entering a new floor, previously 1 heart.
  
• Mana Elixir (Gift): Now grants a special mana potion buff that grants 20% mana drain refund, previously 15%.
  
• Mystical Wrappings: Doesn't specify "infusion" keyword anymore. Now cycles periodically every 4 seconds instead of every room.
  

[h2]Other Gift Changes[/h2]

• Coin Bag: Gold amount reduced from 35 to 30 gold.
  
• Bomb Pouch: Bomb amount reduced from 6 to 5 bombs.
  

[h2]Room Changes[/h2]

• New Tavern NPC: The Princess. She sells Fairy Tale Branches. She has a preference for Good aligned characters but doesn't grant any alignment herself (for now).
  
• Storm in a Bottle cost in tavern reduced. Now 30G, previously 50G.
  
• Nurse in tavern can only heal and refill flasks once per tavern visit.
  
• The Black Market entrance in the tavern is now locked again, requiring another key, after you stay overnight. (The tavernkeep makes sure to keep that stuff under lock, sorry!)
• Leviathan Room: All options now cost 5 souls instead of 10 souls.
  

[h2]Meta Perk Changes[/h2]

• New Perk: Pandoras Boxes: Opening any treasure chest permanently grants +2.5% magic find, up to a maximum of 25%. (Replaces "Giving Up" and made legendary weapons 15% rarer.)
• Bulk Seller: Now capped at +10 Gold. Also only grants +1 Gold per consecutive item, instead of +2.
  
• Mixed Bag: Now also reduces the price by 25% when swapping the currency.
  
• Odyssey: Epic weapons now are 25% more common, previously 30%.
  
• Worth of a Soul: Upgrading weapons now costs 5 souls at blacksmiths, instead of 10 souls.
  

[h2]Weapon Enchantment Changes[/h2]

• Unstoppable modifier, which increases "not very effective multiplier" is now a normal enchant and not a legendary enchantment anymore. (This is kind of a buff because the modifier wasn't that great and now that Magnum Opus perk is fixed, you are more likely to roll an actually good legendary modifier.)
• New legendary enchantment: Sniper's: +20% critical hit chance
  
• New legendary enchantment: Merciless: +75% critical hit multiplier
  

[h2]Trait Changes[/h2]

• Spellblade: Now works with ALL melee weapons, previously just swords.
  

[h2]Enemy Changes[/h2]

• Possessed weapons health and armor has been roughly halved, especially in the early game.
  
• Increased health and armor of all mimics. For some more than 50% more health and armor.
  

I estimate this is about 50% of 0.2.2 scope. More coming soon, depending on how smooth implementation will be, patch might hit main on Friday.

EDIT (11/01/2024): I just realized it was kinda stupid from me to say an update might drop on Friday when the next part of the beta comes on Friday. Doesn't really work out. The real update probably drops some time next week.


Not 100% sure. Kind of going with the flow for 0.2.2 and 0.2.3. After that, as promised, tackling bigger issues like visual clarity and presentation of complexity, e.g.: making descriptions better.
Here are some bullet points what's on my radar for 0.2.2:

• Add some more companions.
  
• Add some new set items.
  
• Add new traits and buff some bad traits.
  
• Buff non shield offhand items.
  
• Go over some items that are really underwhelming and buff them.
  
• Fix more bugs.
  

Enjoy!

One action roguelike is surging to the top of the Steam charts this holiday week courtesy of an update, with little room-based dungeon crawler Tiny Rogues holding strong player numbers for an indie after the release of its Heaven & Hell update added oodles of new stuff. Released late last year, Tiny Rogues is an action roguelike that punts you from room to room dodging nasty traps and enemy attacks while building up a set of unique equipment and abilities that synergize well enough to get you through 10 dungeon floors and their nasty bosses...
Read more.

• Fixed bug with the Hero Sword "Flex" materials not appearing correctly. (I hope it's finally fixed now.)
  
• In the previous hotfix a bug was fixed which caused a softlock when trying to upgrade a weapon at a blacksmith that cost souls while not having any souls.
  

Cheers,
RubyDev

[TLDR is at the bottom.]

Hello fellow Tiny Rogues,
not even a week ago I released the biggest Tiny Rogues update ever, and now I am happy to follow it up with this massive 0.2.1 patch. I didn't expect this to get so big, so quickly, but I'm proud of the changes. So let's get right into it!


[h3]Bonfire Favours[/h3]
From floor 2 onwards you will encounter your good friend the bonfire in the spawn room. At the bonfire you can spend Souls and gain permanent stat boosts. You can also fully recover your hearts and flasks and attune your items at the bonfire.

Originally posted by RubyDev

Developer Thoughts: A big goal in bringing back stat upgrades to your character was to present it in transparent way and to make the system more flexible. The new system is powerful, flexible, brings interesting changes and choices to veteran players and most importantly it is: simple. The 0.2.0 update made the game quite a bit more complex and this patch introduces a bunch of simple but effective changes to make you feel a little bit more at home from the start, even without knowing and utilizing all the new funky mechanics.
It costs 30 Souls to gain a heart container, a point of stamina or a point of mana. As every boss drops 10 Souls this new system basically equals to the old system, just more flexible. You now can get 3 stat upgrades before floor 10 and if are lucky you might even be able to sneak in a 4th one from time to time. Players further in the game might note though that you need some Souls to go beyond floor 11, for that reason the prices of alignment shops have been reduced a bit. So even when you are deep into the game, you still get to gain at least 2 or 3 powerups.

[h3]Over 30 New Items[/h3]
The patch also brings over 30 new items with it. The main focus of these items was to bolster defensive choices, especially for melee characters.

Originally posted by RubyDev

Developer Thoughts: I think it is important that players are regularly offered strong defensive options. Not every item has to be a wall of text with intricate effects. It is fine when some items are just there to bolster survivability or damage.

Originally posted by RubyDev

Developer Thoughts: Having a lot of equip load and equipping some heavy but strong item feels good on a strength character but defensive options for low equip load characters often were lacking. There is a slew of new defensive charms that aid you in your quest to survive on generally squishier builds.

Apart from the new defensive items I also added some support for certain build and effect archetypes that felt quite underwhelming.

[h3]Blacksmith Buffs[/h3]
The weapon damage bonus per upgrade level has been increased to 10% per upgrade level. (Previously a measly 5%.)

Originally posted by RubyDev

Developer Thoughts: Weapon upgrades previously felt very underwhelming. Again, while it is cool and all that the game allows for more funky combinations and interactions to make a strong character, I find it very important, especially for new players, that fallback mechanics exist and that they feel impactful. When lacking damage it makes intuitive sense that a player might think to upgrade their weapon and now you should be able to feel the weapon upgrades.

In addition to this change some of the Blacksmith related meta perks have been heavily buffed to make them more enticing.

[h3]Melee Buffs[/h3]

• All one-handed sword base DMG has been increased by 10% to 30% across the board.
  
• All mace base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20% across the board.
  
• All axe base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20%. Twin Axes, Winged Axes and Berserker Axes have been buffed by up to 30% to account for their odd flight behaviors.
  
• All daggers base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20% across the board.
  
• All polearms and scythes base DMG has been increased by 10% across the board.
  

Additionally some of the new items have melee specific effects.

[h3]Stamina Availability[/h3]

Originally posted by RubyDev

Developer Thoughts: While you can get a stamina point from the bonfire, I also wanted to add new additional ways to gain stamina. The game throws a lot at you and it is important that as a player you feel like you stand a fighting chance.

There is the new camel companion, that grants +1 stamina.


There is the new tavern NPC, the Dryad selling Green Blossoms.

And there even are two new meta perks relating to stamina availability.

[h3]Other Survivability Improvements[/h3]
Heart containers and Phoenix Feathers (Granting +1 Revive.) can now appear shops. The main shop (with the Rat Merchant) now also rolls between 3 and 4 offers, instead of always presenting 3 offers.
The Slot Machine now can give Soul Hearts and Soul Hearts in general are a bit more common.
The Nurse in the tavern now also refills your flasks.


[h3]Mastery EXP Curve Adjustments[/h3]
You level up a lot quicker now, especially the levels 1 to 15 take a lot less experience. It was an oversight to expect new players to turn on cinder modifiers and mastery shouldn't be as crazy of a grind as it was previously. Enjoy!



[h3]General Changes[/h3]

• Mastery EXP curve has been adjusted so you can level up faster, even without Cinder.

• Curse has less chance to take effect in the range of 1 to 3 curse.
  
• Fixed how magic find worked for equipment and weapon rewards. Previously it was partially bugged and displaying on the wrong items, that it didn't actually affect. Magic Find is even better now.

• Death Tyrants in floor 10 now activate their spinning laser attack staggered instead of all at once.
  

[h3]Trait Changes[/h3]

[h3]Weapon Changes[/h3]

  • There is a new set for swords, the fencing set: "Touche! Engarde!"
    
  • The new items include support for on combat start, on picking up mana star and on dash effect builds.
• Dragonscale Greaves: Now also grant +1 Suppression and Combat Prowess buff now grants 30% increased melee damage, up from 20%.
  
• Heart Charm and Armor Charm are now rare rarity, previously epic.
  
• Jousting Armor: Now also grants +1 armor.
  
• Wisp Lantern: Now grants 2.% increased primary attack damage per soul you have, up from 0.5%.
  

[h3]Consumable and Companion Changes[/h3]

• NEW: Camel Leash, summons a camel companion that grants +1 Stamina.
  
• Stamina Potion: Is now in the main pool of potions. Previously you would only be able to get this from brewing it in the swamp event.
  
• Shellfish Surge and Ocean's Bounty now last 10/20 rooms (depending on the consumable), up from 1/10 rooms.
  
• Kelp: Now grants 1 stamina permanently, similar to the Starfish consumable that grants +1 mana.

• Tax Collector now trades you 30G for 10 Souls.

• Inflation and Deflation: Now only work for Gold prices.
  
• Ethereal Roulette: Now grants 2 bonus ethereal dice, up from only 1.
  
• Loss Leader: Makes blacksmith prices be 10/15/20/25,... instead of 10/20/30/40,... (Previously was too much of a downside.)
  
• Worth of a Soul: Now makes weapon upgrades at blacksmiths cost 10 Souls, previously 20. (With the new Soul economy this might need even more changes in the future.)
  
• Loyalty: The upgrade to level 4 now doesn't increase the price. (But you have to pick either Loss Leader or Worth of a Soul before, so the 4th upgrade by default costs 25 gold or 10 souls.)
  

[h3]Cinder Changes[/h3]

• Unjust Incentive: Now specifies in the description that the spiked doors can be bombed.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• As mentioned above, magic find has been generally buggy.
  
• Fixed that the calculation of advancing your periodical effects was completely wrong and triggered way too much. (Mainly affects the trait: Dynamo.)

I am thrilled to announce that Tiny Rogues has been a phenomenal hit during the holiday season, maintaining an incredible 2000 concurrent players! Your enthusiasm and support have been nothing short of amazing. And there is even more exciting stuff on the horizon!

First off, I will be fine-tuning the game's polish. You've experienced the depth of the new update, and now it's time to make it even more accessible. I want to refine descriptions to be crisper and easier to understand. The goal is to streamline your experience, making it intuitive and even more enjoyable.

I will also be working an in-game guide/wiki in which you can read up on every mechanic in detail. But don't worry – I want to keep the reading light. After all, I want you to spend more time exploring and fighting and less time studying and doing homework on the game.

Your feedback is the magic behind the game's growth. Join the journey on the community discord and share your thoughts. Screenshots, suggestions, or ideas are all welcome!

Finally, I want to better the game's visual clarity. Get ready for options that clear up screen clutter, like fading out your own projectiles, companions and more.

Thank you for playing and thank you for all the support, hope you had happy holidays!

Cheers,
RubyDev

• Heart-, Stamina- and Mana power ups are back.
  
• Lots of new defensive items, especially for melee characters but also for low equip load characters. (E.g.: new defensive charms)
• Upgrading weapons has been massively buffed.
  
• Base DMG of a lot of melee weapons has been buffed.
  
• Stamina is more widespread available in the game.
  

HOTFIX V1: Just did a hotfix which fixes a soft-lock that happened when interacting with blacksmiths that cost Souls and you interacted with them while not having Souls.
