February Update

[p][/p][h3]Greetings, Oaklings! [/h3][p]Patch v0.3.9[/p][p][/p][p]In the last announcement, I declared that the January update was the last update to the demo before early access launch.[/p][p]In the meantime, the launch of Early Access has been pushed to April. The artists and myself are working very hard to get early access ready as soon as possible, and it will be worth the wait! To compensate, 3 new items have been added to the demo to shake things up.[/p][p][/p][h3]Introducing: The Rain-Bow build.[/h3][p][/p][p]3 new bows build around the "unique bow" archetype:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]🔸War Bow: Start of Combat: Permanently gain +2 Damage per unique bow.[/p][p]🔸Launcher: On Trigger: Trigger another random bow.[/p][p]🔸Dragon's Edge: Every 10 Triggers: If you only have unique bows, trigger your other bows 10 times.[/p][p] [/p][p]You might notice that Dragon's Edge is a new type: Dragon.[/p][p]This is a teaser to the upcoming set after Storm and Witch in early access.[/p][p][/p][h3]Fixes:[/h3][p]🔸2x speed-up now makes sudden death appear twice as fast like it's supposed to. This bug was the source of players getting twice the amount of damage against The Oak. [/p][p]🔸Fixed some sound effects being too loud, like the lucky reroll "ding".[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Early Access will launch with 10 packs, each with 9 items. You will need to pick 8 to play with.[/p][p][/p][h3]Pack Flexibility[/h3][p]If you want a crazy game, pick all packs! You need to play with minimum 8 but there is no cap on how many you can add.[/p][p][/p][p]Want a fresh experience every time? If you pick less than 8 packs, the game will fill out random packs each game to a minimum of 8. This means, If you love the Elven and Witch pack, just pick those two. The game will always include them, but fill out 6 other random packs every time you play.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Before a game, you will be able to choose starting perks! You pick a loadout of 3, and will gain a random one of those each game. You could also pick the "Random" perk, which will give you a completely random perk each game. This option provides a little extra rating in ranked. You start with only a few perks unlocked, and gain more as you complete quests / achievements in the game, providing a new cool form of progression.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Gif of the items hovering in the shop:[/p][p][/p][p]Freeze effect:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Full shop screenshot:[/p][p][/p][p]Keep in mind that there are still placeholders like the player flag (my pretty drawing). Once done, the flag will change depending on rank - with bronze being a torn cloth flag, and master/grandmaster being royal and intricate! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This is a new feature in the early access. Slot buffs grant a buff to the item in that slot![/p][p][/p][p]There are some basic ones, like +10 Shield, +25% crit chance, but also some more unique ones:[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Running out of inventory space?[/p][p]Not only has the inventory become much larger than before, there is also a new Pouch feature with easy quick-stacking potions / items! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Background is not final - this is just the menu background being used.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]For all the birchlings out there.[/p][p][/p][p]Tower skins will be rare cosmetics that you can obtain in the game.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's it for the teaser.
