[h2]v1.0.4 Patch is Out[/h2] The v1.0.4 patch has been released (last week), containing several fixes, balance adjustments and QOL additions. Take a look at the patch notes to see all the individual changes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1380650/view/3749867242861854507 [h2]Soundtrack[/h2] After numerous requests, the Draft of Darkness OST is now available on Steam for free. The soundtrack includes a total of 14 tracks, comprising 5 encounter tracks, 7 boss tracks, and the menu and rest screen tracks, all in 320kbps bitrate MP3 format. Enjoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2633130 [h2]Demo Update[/h2] After receiving frequent player and crash reports for issues that have already been fixed in the full version, I've decided to prepare a new demo. The demo version has been updated to version 1.0.4 and should provide a more accurate representation of the current state of the game. If you encountered problems with the previous demo, please feel free to give it another try. Content-wise, it should be the same as before, but it now includes various fixes, changes to combat flow (such as card queueing), and improved gamepad support. [h2]Post-Launch Updates[/h2] Aside from the bug-fix patches, I have begun working on some additional content, which I plan to release as major updates. Currently, I have outlined two updates: [list] [*] v1.1 Halloween Update: Featuring New Perks & Items [*] v1.2 Custom Game Mode Update: Introducing Custom Game Mode & New Events [/list] Although the dates are not set in stone, I aim to release the v1.1 update at the end of October, as the name implies, and I will strive to have v1.2 ready for the winter season. In version 1.1, I aim to broaden the selection of perks available to heroes by introducing new ones in the Credits Shop. Existing perks will also be reviewed and adjusted. This expansion will offer players more choices for varying their builds during different runs. Similarly, new items will be added, including player-suggested items. As I work on finalizing the specifics of the Custom Game Mode, the primary concept behind it is to enable story-free gameplay with various challenges and objectives that allow players to enjoy the game mechanics in distinct ways. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see in this mode, please don't hesitate to share your ideas on the forums or the Discord server! Thanks for supporting Draft of Darkness. See you on the next update!
