Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot News

[h3]PATCH 0.5.7[/h3]

• Adjusted how experience points are awarded for unlocking new ability cards. More experience is issued for failed runs. Example: If previously killing a late-stage monster (like Killer Tomato, for instance) used to give you 50 times more points than taking down a basic swordsman, now this discrepancy has been significantly decreased. Additionally, experience points are now individually adjusted for each level, with more challenging levels giving more experience.
  
• Added 2 seconds of invulnerability after picking up a Gumball Machine (the explosive pick-up.) It should now be more useful on the latter levels of the game.
  
• A new starter Slime condition: "Financial." Starts with 20 tokens and Coin Launcher.
  
• 2 new meta-upgrades that can be purchased with DNA points: bonus starting tokens (store currency) and a store upgrade discount.
  
• Buffed all starter Slime conditions except "Default" and "Ocular."
  
• Made minor balance adjustments to some levels. For instance, the start of Level 10 became harder.
  
• Currently working on 🎮 gamepad support as the highest priority task!
  
• Planning less frequent updates, approximately once a month, with more significant features.
  

Keep your feedback coming—we're actively listening and working on improving the game!

HAIL SLIME.

- Fixed DNA barrels (meta progression currency) not being picked up on later levels

[h3]HOTFIX 0.5.5[/h3]

• Disabled pausing the game by pressing Space. Please use the ESC key to pause the game.
  
  
• Changed the requirement for the deck to have exactly 3 cards of each tier (D, C, B, A, S) instead of 4. We received feedback that players enjoyed the requirements from the demo version more.
  
  
• Simplified unlocking new cards. Now, you need less experience to unlock a new card on average. There is something we will definitely change later: On many levels, the majority of experience for meta-progression is given for killing the boss or stronger late-game monsters. It increases the victory reward, but overall, it's not the final solution. For now, if you can't complete a level, try replaying the previous level and get more experience for it. Or you could wait until we fix it in one of the upcoming patches—losing runs will soon be granting more experience!
  
  
• Slightly increased the drop rate of DNA points (the meta-progression currency).
  
  
• Made minor adjustments to level balance. Like, real slight. But if you were stuck on levels 4, 5 or 6, please give it another try!
  
  
• Added arrow key movement that duplicates the WASD movement.
  
  
• If you're using an AZERTY keyboard, you can add "-azerty" to the game's launch parameters in your Steam library. Here's a short visual instruction: https://imgur.com/VkfyjJq.

[h3]WATCH THE LAUNCH TRAILER:[/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot is a new installment in the dystopian Despotism franchise that mixes post-apocalyptic fiction, dark humor, and pop culture references. The fourth millennium. Humankind is done for. The surviving fraction is ruled by Despot, a cruel AI eager for hideous experiments. A blob of goo created by Despot to engineer artificial human beings has become sentient and risen up against its creator. This blob of goo goes by the name of Slime and desires one thing only: сhaotic violence.

[h2] GAME FEATURES [/h2]

• An elaborate system of obtaining abilities & deck-building mechanics. The abilities that you add to your deck are the ones that will appear in the shop during your next run. Experiment with ability combos to achieve the maximum possible level of mass destruction! Spill acid around🧪, obliterate puny humans with an AK-47🔫, summon obedient zombies🧟, and even throw exploding watermelons🍉.
  
• SH*T-TONS of enemies. We wanted to redefine the definition of "the number of mobs on the screen" and put legions of Despot's creatures against you, from humans with chainsaws and laser-wielding robots to carnivorous tomatoes and gigantic brains. Keep an eye on that boss timer and be prepared!
  
• 10 challenging levels, one more brutal than the other. Defeat bosses, progress through the Despot's dungeon, unlock new ability cards, and upgrade your Slime, making it more powerful and resilient.
  
• Different starter Slime versions & meta upgrades. Select the blob of slime that suits your playstyle the most (fast, slow & tanky, or a summoner) and make it more powerful by manipulating DNA points earned during dungeon runs. Upgrade your health, armor, damage, or ability capacity to wreak maximum havoc.
  

Have fun, puny humans! The game is in Early Access, so our team welcomes any and all feedback from you. Feel free to share your thoughts on the forums.

Hail (or death to?) Despot!
