Whether you’ve just joined the excitement or have been waiting for a while, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you for taking an interest in our game. Thank you for your wishlists, your follows, and your continued dedication to helping us improve.

You're about to dive into a world that has evolved significantly from our first alpha build, with tons of new content and improvements—all shaped by your input. Rest assured, we'll continue listening to the community’s voice and are committed to incorporating your insights.

We are under no illusion; there's more work to be done, but we believe that with your continued support we can make Dungeonborne the best dungeon extraction game on the market. With that in mind, please head over to (#playtest-feedback) to help us identify areas of improvement so we can work to make this game the best it can possibly be.

Lastly, we want to be clear about our stance on cheating from the outset: zero tolerance. Combating unfair play will be a continuous effort, but a battle we are dedicated to fighting. We've built a robust anti-cheat system and our vigilant team is poised to address any cheating incidents. Convicted cheaters will face permanent bans, period. If you come across any cheaters, please help us by recording video evidence and filing a report on our customer support page.

That's all, once again, thank you for your continued support of Dungeonborne. Remember, fortune favors the bold!

We are excited to announce our first Dungeonborne Streamer Challenge, for all the players who are up for some hardcore gameplay and competition.

[h2]Dev Comments:[/h2]
Thank you all for the valuable insights you've shared in the QA Test channels, and we've taken every word to heart. Over the past 48 hours, we've been working nonstop to polish the game for the Next Fest Demo. Below, you'll find the patch notes – our response to your input.

This swift update, as with every step we take, is part of our collaborative journey to build Dungeonborne with our community. With your continued support, we're not just fixing bugs; we're crafting the dungeon crawler that we all aspire to play.

Also, a quick note on the Fighter’s Whirlwind skill: it remains unchanged for now. We've deliberately designed countermeasures for each class, challenging players to dive deeper and master the game’s nuanced mechanics. Rest assured, we're listening closely to your feedback—if post-Next Fest conversations indicate that the skill is truly overpowered, we're ready to make adjustments.
