Koboo: The Tree Spirit - Prologue has Launched on Steam! You can play the free prologue which is an extended version of the demo with many more features. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2194820/Koboo_The_Tree_Spirit__Prologue/ Here are a few of the new features: [h3]Metaprogression[/h3] [list] [*] Added the Favor Shop! Use Favor to acquire new weapons, infusions, animal abilities, and other upgrades. This is opened by speaking to a new friend of the forest, Cade, in the garden. How do you obtain Favor? Well, I’m glad you asked! Keep reading to find out! [*] Added Farming! Obtain seeds of endangered plant species throughout levels, which can be planted in Koboo’s local garden after every boss fight. Every visit, Koboo can tend to the flowers, nourishing their growth, and can be donated for a random range of Favor once they bloom. They can also continue to be watered past blooming to guarantee higher value. [*] Added Fishing! Seek out ponds and rivers to provide food to endangered species, befriend local sealife, and clear human trash from dying ecosystems. The more polluted the zone, the more Favor Koboo can acquire from clearing it. [*] One Favor is also obtained every time Koboo takes an animal ability or ability upgrade that hasn’t been taken in any previous run, or a weapon upgrade is taken to a higher level than before.

[*] Reduced the maximum Temporary Attack Speed from weapon infusions such as Tiger Savagery and Owl Wisdom from +100% to +75%. [*] Increased the base damage increase of Boar Force from 25% to 33%, but decreased the critical damage convert from 75% to 33%. [*] Reduced the time required to gain a charge level for the Winding upgrade from Leaf Axe from one second to half a second. Slightly reduced the damage boost accordingly. (Level 1: 2x -> 1.5x, Level 2: 3.5x -> 2.5x, Level 3: 5x -> 4x) In my opinion, overall, this is a massive buff that I expect will boost this upgrade’s ease of use and viability, hopefully not too much at the expense of its flashiness. [*] The Trickery upgrade from Fae Daggers has its effectiveness increased by +50%. [*] Reduced the Attack Speed of Thunder Orb by 20%. [/list] [h3]Animal Ability Changes[/h3] [list] [*] Bunny Hop has been reworked, its passive effect will now instead trigger by running into and bouncing off enemies (See “Enemy Changes” below). [*] Removed Spirit Orbs (The purple orbs that spawn mid-fight to give Koboo ability charge). [*] Increased Ability Charge based on damage dealt by 200%. [*] Nerfed Wolf Evade?? [GET NAMES] [/list] [h3]Level Changes[/h3] [list] [*] Koboo starts runs with one weapon instead of two. [/list] [h3]Miscellaneous Changes[/h3] [list] [*] Mara’s dialogue has changed slightly to account for these changes. [/list] [h3]New World and Final Boss [/h3] [list] [*] Added a Third World with New Enemies and a Final Boss [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40654780/cf693a5f27cc7a686b88ae9931e4212cc3fac108.jpg[/img] [h3]Bug Fixes[/h3] [list] [*] Magic Orbs will now longer be animated even when the game is paused. [*] You will no longer be able to Return to Menu (and therefore save progress) while in the middle of a cutscene or transition. [*] Fixed a bug where the Spear’s Duelist upgrade wouldn’t properly increase Critical Damage. [*] Fixed Duelist’s unrelated outdated description.
