What to expect from 0.6

Relics

Relics are powerful items that trigger powerful effects. Each relic has its own timer and can be upgraded up to three times. You can find one per depth. Check the screenshot below to see a preview of the UI integration.

Stamina rework

I seperated the cooldowns for the Ultimate and Dash. In the screenshot below you can see the new Dash recovery bar, including the indicators. Different heroes start with a different amount of Dashes. There will be two new perks that increase the recovery rates.

Curse rework

Curses from items now have a duration, 30 seconds on default with an increased duration for each Nightmare difficulty. The update adds six new curses and adjusts old curses for the new system. This way, curses can be more dangerous and interesting - while adding the flair of the challenge shrines I has in the game a while ago!

Nightmare Difficulties

0.6 will introduce Nightmare 1-3. Every tier increases enemy health, enemy speed, enemy projectile speed, enemy projectile distance and the curse duration. Each tier adds a special mod as well. Beating Nightmare 5 will unlock the Endless Mode in the near future! :)

Localization

I integrated the support for different languages and started with Chinese! The next languages will most likely be Spanish, Portugese, French and German.

Other stuff

I also added a few new visual effects for different things, new sound effects, more performance improvements and QoL. For example, I added an option to change the dash direction towards the mouse position. The default direction is now the movement direction.

Some downsides of perks have been nerfed as well, here are some examples: Snipers Gambit: You can't deal critical strikes against bosses. (Instead of no crits at all) Concentration III : Health potions don't recover health but grant xp. (Instead of health potions hurt you)

I'm really hyped for the release of this update! Alpha testing will start this week so I think I can release 0.6 next monday! Are you interested in alphatesting or giving me some ideas for other new relics? Join the Discord
