Wendigo Blue News

This update contains the new "Hrukk Gardens" stage, a new boss battle, and many changes and bug fixes. As always, thank you to everyone for the feedback and bug reports. There will be some additional hotfixes and some more QOL updates in the next couple of weeks. Some of the content for Act Two will also hopefully start to show up in the coming updates as well. I'm leaning towards focusing on one of the new playable characters that become available in Act Two, but I haven't decided on which one to do first. I may reach out to the community to help me decide.

Just some quick news on the upcoming game update. The newest boss (Feral Hierophant) that I'm working on needs a little more time in the oven, so I'll be delaying the update by about a week or so.

The next update will contain the new gardens stage and boss, as well as a bunch of bug fixes and QOL changes, thanks to all of the feedback I get from you all. You can check in on development in the pinned thread Here that I try to check in and update weekly. Probably the biggest change is the ability to revive when playing solo with NPC turned off.

Thank you for your support, and keep an eye out for the update next week.
