DEMO v0.6.96 Beta

[h2]Build notes Demo v0.6.96 Beta:[/h2][p]Since releasing the demo we've been thinking a lot about progression and build-crafting during a run, and these new changes we're trying out are intended to help give you more of the ingredients for a fun build.[/p][p][/p][p]We've been making some significant changes to the game flow and are keen for feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts on Discord.[/p][p][/p][h3]Combining Perks with Mutations[/h3][p]The biggest feature is now Perk rewards from Combat all come with an Action for your deck which will help activate the Perk, so whichever Perk you choose will be usable in a combo right away! [/p][p]Then becoming even more powerful when building in a certain direction.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Perks and Mutations[/h3][p]We've been gradually adding more community suggested content! [/p][p][/p][h3]New Elite Encounters[/h3][p]We haven't put in the narrative or fully balanced these, but now you can try your build against Elites other than Honey Badger.[/p][p][/p][h3]Combat loot and reward screen redesign[/h3][p]One of the goals of this iteration is to be able to make combats more strategic... and challenging... [/p][p]Enemies now drop specific loot which gets collected, so you need to knockout ones which carry the loot you want. At the moment it's just a Perk and resources... and to increase the tension we're trying a new tool, the Ink Spray ability. [/p][p][/p][p]This will allow you to force regular enemies to nope out of a combat, and having such a strong ability means as we add higher difficulties, players will still have a way to mitigate the encounters if your build is struggling a bit... The cost of doing so is not getting the combat reward. [/p][p][/p][p]We've added more useful information to the Reward screen to help show this, with a list of the enemies knocked out and their loot, as well as labelling the rarity tier. More improvements to come![/p][p][/p][p]There are also a ton of bug fixes and general adjustments in this new version, including more access to Action removal.[/p][p][/p][p]If you'd like to try out our Demo Beta it's public on Steam, you just need to set the game version - here's how:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]If you liked this demo, try Ring of Pain![/h3][p]As a studio we really want to innovate with fresh genre-blending formats!
Our goal is to make games you haven't played before.

If you want to be involved in WInnie's Hole, we'll continue running content design events and also run playtesting in the future on our Discord.

Thank you!
