Soulslinger: Envoy of Death News

Greetings, Soulslingers!

This is Ede again - right of the depth of the develolpment limbo! 🤠

So, now that our two latest updates added ’Gunplay 2.0’ as well as a bunch of improvements, bugfixes and ADS balancing, it is time to share some more information about upcoming content that will be added to the game in the coming months.

But let's talk about the BESTIARY first! It was added with the last update and is located in Haven. It allows you to check out the enemies of every realm and collect permanent resources upon defeating a new enemy type! This building will be available by default and will provide a boost to your resources early on:



With the second Early Access Roadmap Update in March, we will introduce even more Haven extensions. These are additional buildings that will either be available from the start or ones that you can construct to unlock additional gameplay features:

POWER TOTEM
The Power Totem offers stat upgrades to Soulslinger. As long as you keep farming resources, you can keep upgrading because the Power Totem never runs out of new upgrades!

ORB OF THE SEER
The Orb of the Seer allows you to keep track of your most important stats, such as accuracy rating, furthest segment reached, etc, etc.

In addition to the Haven extensions, we also plan to add the new Blood Essence that introduces new skills focusing on healing and vampirism!

BUT THERE’S MORE!
Excited to find out what other new content is coming for Soulslinger? Here’s a first look at a new realm we plan to introduce soon! This is NOT the second major realm, but an exciting alternate route you can take while traversing the currently available Land of Memories!


We are excited to hear your thoughts and feedback, and we will continue to share more information leading up to the next Early Access Roadmap Update. For even more sneak peeks, you can join our Discord community where we regularly share updates and news.

So long, friends, and see you in the next developer update!
Ede out!

Greetings, fellow Soulslingers!

I am thrilled to announce and share some more information about the upcoming "Gunplay 2.0" update, introducing several changes to how your guns will act and much, much more!

First and foremost, the Land of Memories is getting bigger as the update will introduce a brand-new map/battle arena designed to challenge your skills and provide a fresh, immersive environment.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The recoil animations for revolvers undergo a significant overhaul. We will add a realistic animation and have removed any procedural (i.e. programmed) animations. Each shot will feel more powerful, and recoil animations work in ADS as well now!

We understand the importance of precise feedback during combat, which is why we’ll be adding dynamic "flying numbers" that appear when dealing damage. So, after the update is released, you will be able to track your attacks in real-time, as well as the damage done by special effects such as fire, electricity, or poison damage.



Based on your feedback, we are also going to add more noticeable impact visual effects and audio cues that accompany every strike on enemies, making each successful hit feel truly powerful!

Additionally, we will improve the enemy AI, add numerous gamepad-related improvements, balance changes, new conversations with "Dead Eye" McGee and we’ve even worked on new spells!

Your continued support and feedback are invaluable to us, and we look forward to delivering even more exciting enhancements in future updates. ❤️

So long, friends. Have a great time!
Ede out!

Greetings, fellow Soulslingers!

Since the release of Soulslinger in mid-December, I've been working my way through an incredibly large and also incredibly valuable amount of feedback that all you players out there have given me.

Firstly, I am really super grateful for this (❤️), and secondly, it has prompted me to extend the Early Access Roadmap for Soulslinger. That's what's new:

• A new first update in January will add "Gunplay 2.0" to the game
  
• The second update in March was extended by building extensions in Haven
  
• A new third update in April will add a new realm
  
• A new fifth update in July will add a dual skills system

I will also be going into more detail about some of the upcoming expansions in separate update posts here on Steam in the near future - for example the "Gunplay 2.0" at the end of this week.

For your overview, here is the complete updated roadmap, which you can also find on the product page:




So long, friends. Have a great time!
