V1.200 now in "Future" branch





Hey all,

Achievements are here for all OS's (Win/Mac/Linux) :)
Note: all achievement icons are temp
Hoping to push this version to the default branch (with shiny new achievement icons) next week if we don't get any new issues!

Thanks to all who submitted the 600+ achievement ideas! Especially T3cube, NoDontDoThat101, and biohazard001380 - who had their ideas chosen :)
Also to all those that suggested names, many of which we chose as well!

As usual, please opt into the "Future" branch if you're brave enough to test out what we're working on (see HERE for how to opt-in). You'll know you've done it right when you see v1.200 in the bottom right corner of the Main Menu (Duskers Boot Utility).

If you do find bugs that you believe might be specific to this version please post them in the Support/Issues/Bugs Sub-forum with "[v1.200]" at the beginning of the title (please include your OS in the post).

(WARNING: Some changes may act odd if you're in the middle of a run. If you are in the middle of a run and aren't willing to start a new one you may want to wait till your run is ended, or see THIS post)

Please let us know your thoughts/feedback on any of these things below!

V1.102 is here!

Hey all,

New settings to nerf your favorite enemy (Slime), more detailed scores listed on the Dailey & Weekly Challenges, more consistent Daily Challenges across players, better handling of game freezing/crashing, and a boatload of fixes :)

It's been a while, but a Duskers update is finally here for all OS's! This update contains all of the goodies of Decavoid's unofficial patch, with a few more things added in. In fact, Decavoid's the one that integrated them into the base game :)

The update should be automatic. You'll know you've gotten it when you see v1.102 in the bottom right corner of the Main Menu (Duskers Boot Utility).

If you do find bugs that you believe might be specific to this version please post them in the Support/Issues/Bugs Sub-forum with "[v1.102]" at the beginning of the title (please include your OS in the post).

(WARNING: Some changes could act oddly if you're in the middle of a run. This doesn't seem extremely likely, but if you are in the middle of a run and aren't willing to risk starting a new one, you may want to switch to the "Past" branch till your run is ended, or see THIS post)

Please let us know your thoughts/feedback on any of these things below (possible spoilers)!
