Hello again everyone! Since 1.066's release I've been sneaking out updates here and there while the porting studio worked on catching the console versions up from 1.035. It added up to be quite a bit in the end since we ran into a few delays along the way and I had extra time to fix and tune things. The above trailer is primarily meant for consoles that were farther behind than Steam, but it should give anyone who hasn't been paying close attention a good idea of what we've been up to for the last year!

1.066 -> 1.071 Change-list:

• adjusted area sizes and improved generation by moving a couple rooms (new games only)
  
• fixed glitchy archer sprites when killed during spawning in Trell battle
  
• fixed tiling errors in several rooms

This week marks the one year anniversary of Chasm's release! After over five years of hard work, Chasm was released to the world on July 31. In celebration, the game is 50% off on all platforms, and we will be doing giveaways every day this week (including cool new swag bags!) on our Facebook, Twitter and Discord. Thanks so much to everyone for their continued support, we couldn't do it without you!

We released an update today with a new feature request from the community, as well as a few bug fixes and tweaks. It can be tricky figuring out where that last few percent is when trying to 100% the game so we've added a checkmark next to the names of areas that are fully explored. I also made button presses a little more lenient while your character is attacking. Each weapon has a certain amount of frames you are locked into the attack, so if you push Backdash or Jump too soon it might not register. I extended the window a few more frames, so it should feel a little more responsive now if you press too early.

Change-list:

• added checkmark for fully explored areas on map screen
  
• fixed hit stun on crawlers
  
• fixed necromancer teleport logic
  
• fixed player not cancelling out of attacks when crouched
  
• extended buffer for button presses during attacks for more responsiveness
  
• updated to FNA 19.05
  
• updated game controller database
