Tombwater News

[p]Howdy! [/p][p][/p][p]We want to thank every player who has ventured into Tombwater since we opened the town gates.

Tombwater has been a labor of love, only fulfilled by reading all of the deep player engagement and positive feedback. To those who have left reviews, made videos, shared clips, streamed, posted screenshots, and spread the word, you have our deepest gratitude. [/p][p][/p][p]For those of you on the fence still, Tombwater is still 20% off until Tuesday, April 14th. We've also got some great bundles with similar games and a Digital Deluxe Edition that includes the dev's art book and killer soundtrack. [/p][p]

[p]March 31st[/p][p]

To whomever finds this note,[/p][p][/p][p]Tombwater is the only town I’ve ever known. My childhood was mostly a good one with days spent running through the sagebrush and catching spiny lizards. [/p][p][/p][p]But this town is sick now. The silver… the water… the mines… all of it built on top of something that should never have been disturbed. [/p][p][/p][p]People I love knew that. And they kept digging anyway. Tombwater was made of good folk but, our sanity is crumbling faster than these mines. You can’t even trust your own thoughts.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, I’m here for good and I’ll die fighting. There’s no other use for a fury like mine. Now, for you? You better ask yourself…why are you still digging deeper?[/p][p][/p][p]I believe this will be my last account. Yours faithfully,[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]

[p]Howdy Gunslingers, [/p][p][/p][p]After years of planning and what feels like a million hours of development, we are elated to launch Tombwater tomorrow, March 31st.[/p][p][/p][p]This cursed town will take you on a wild ride battling Eldritch horrors in broad daylight and uncovering an inconceivable force ruling from underground. You'll need to keep your head clear, your blade sharp, and your dash fast.

[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Gunslingers, [/p][p][/p][p]We’re proud to bring you an updated demo of Tombwater. If you’ve played before, we invite you to give the new and improved version a try, as there’s some meat to these changes![/p][p][/p][p]Demo updates:[/p]

• [p]New Feature: “Stagger” mechanics[/p]
  • [p]Weapons now deal a variable amount of “stagger” points in addition to their other listed effects. Once sufficient “stagger” points have been accumulated onto an enemy, they will enter a “staggered” status effect and become temporarily stunned.[/p]
• [p]New Loadout: The demo now has several additions to the equipment shop, allowing players who have previously experienced the demo to try out a few new charms and spells before launch:[/p]
  • [p]Threads of Fate spell (must purchase Visceral Eye)[/p]
  • [p]Ghost Caravan Wheel Spell (must purchase Caravan Eye)[/p]
  • [p]Quicksilver Spur charm[/p]
  • [p]Spiderwounds charm[/p]
• [p]Feature Adjustment: “Ghost Seeds” (the item which allows you to recall your Wraith from the last death location) can now be utilized anywhere, instead of only at specific locations. [/p]
• [p]New Camera Option: “Look Ahead” toggle in the options menu allows the camera to move somewhat ahead of the character if you press against a wall.[/p]
• [p]New Difficulty Option: “Corpse Run” mechanic can be turned off in the options menu, if a player desires a less challenging experience without worrying about loss of resources during a runback.[/p]
• [p]Game Balance: Widespread balancing pass across all weapons and spells[/p]
• [p]Over 150 bug fixes[/p]
• [p]UI Improvements[/p]
• [p]Performance Improvements[/p]

[p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Tombwater will be participating in February’s Next Fest starting on Feb. 23. We really appreciate your support of the demo!
