MAJOR FREE CONTENT UPDATE: Call of Hubris

[p]Hope you are doing well. [/p][p] When the game was initially fully released in December 2024, I thought I had done all I could as a developer. But then, as time went by, after I played multiple challenging games that ignited my competitive-creative spirit (looking at you, Silksong and Angeline Era), I just wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to make something that even I can't comfortably approach as a creator. I wanted to be on (or over) their level in terms of how I can push the limit of the set game mechanic to a comical degree. [/p][p] Difficulty is such an enchanting thing. For most people out there, it wouldn't be a comprehensible idea that I'm making an even harder challenge for a game that got even less than 1% of the players who finished the Ascended Reaper difficulty. But the thing is, like many cases, human greed is never-ending, and so is my willingness to develop things that I already called "finished". [/p][p]Besides, the important thing is that some people BEAT the game on Ascended Reaper because they loved the game so much. I believe this update would be a nice love letter for those people. [/p][p][/p]
