SpellRogue Development Blog #4

Greetings Dice Slingers!

Just dropping a quick steam post to share some news on what’s happening with SpellRogue.

Update 3 is taking a little longer than originally expected, but we’re starting to wrap things up and aiming to release it in early May.

For this update we have been taking a step back to reevaluate systems and mechanics, so we have been playing around with a lot of experimental changes. This includes testing a new Ritual design, experimenting with separating Artifacts and Shards rewards on the map and looking into replacing the draft “reroll for gold” with “skip to gain gold” (NOTE: We are still not sure which experimental changes will make it into Update 3).

Besides that we have also been cooking up a few other notable changes:

• Added story text and image to Event map tiles.

• Changed font and increased font sizes to improve readability.

• Improved graphics for several The Void enemies.

In other news, Ghost Ship is hosting another “On the Horizon” live stream this week, where we have a timeslot to discuss our Early Access journey so far, and talk more in depth about the upcoming changes! Read more about it on their Agenda Steam post:
