Quality of Life Changes, Bug Fixes, and More!

[h3]Brave Warriors,[/h3]

We have been working hard on a variety of different aspects of Hordes of Hunger, and have been listening to your feedback. We are excited for the future of the game, and present to you this list of hotfixes and adjustments for the most recent update. 

[h3]ENDLESS MODE[/h3]

We’re excited about the release of Endless Mode in Early Access, and truly appreciate your patience and support. While we’re happy with the initial launch, we’ve identified some areas where improvements are needed to enhance both performance and replayability. As players progress and reach higher levels, we’ve noticed performance issues that require attention. Additionally, as your character grows stronger, the content doesn’t scale quite as we intended, which can impact the overall challenge and enjoyment. To address this, we’ve implemented several adjustments aimed at increasing difficulty in a fun and engaging way, while continuing to optimize performance behind the scenes. Your feedback is incredibly important to us during this early access phase, and we’ll be closely monitoring your experiences to guide future updates. 

• Endless mode adjustments - Player level is capped to level 60 in Endless Mode, with increased difficulty (20%) each time the player reaches max level or when the player completes 24 quests.
