In case you missed our last post, we discussed Rose's new mechanics here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1073320/announcements/detail/2190384257594913025 [b]Want to try the beta?[/b] Anyone can opt-in to the beta - simply follow [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1073320/discussions/0/1743391215797002872]these instructions[/url] these instructions if you're not already on the beta branch If you're already on the beta branch from from a previous release, you're all set! As usual, we expect Rose will be on the beta branch at least 3-4 weeks before coming to the main branch. If you prefer a more stable experience, you may want to wait for the full release of Rose before trying her out. [h2]First, a small request![/h2] [h3]Please take a moment and leave a review[/h3] For small games, reviews are super critical. Because small games get very few reviews and since most players don't leave reviews, even a few negative reviews can really skew a game's rating. If you enjoy the updates and haven't reviewed Krumit's Tale yet, please take just a minute to leave a review. It helps *so* much and is a huge help to the team. And if you're not completely satisfied - let us know how we can fix it! We've made a ton of improvements since launching in Early Access that came directly from players. [h2]Adding new ways to find help in-game[/h2] One of the things we noticed in some of the recent reviews is that because Krumit's Tale is really different from most other games out there, some players have struggled with the mechanics and found it too difficult. In this update, we're adding a "Get Help!" link on the main menu and in Settings to help players who might be struggling with the game, or have encountered some issue they'd like to leave feedback on. We're listening on all sorts of platforms - Steam, Reddit, Discord, Twitter, email, and QQ - so you can contact us in whichever way is most convenient if you have feedback. We also recently updated the following resources, which are now linked from in-game: [list] [*] [url=https://krumits-tale.com/getting-started/]Krumit's Tale - Beginner's Guide (English Only)[/url] [*] [url=https://krumits-tale.com/wiki?lang=en]Wiki - English[/url] [*] [url=https://krumits-tale.com/wiki?lang=zh-CN]Wiki - Chinese[/url] [*] [url=https://krumits-tale.com/wiki?lang=es]Wiki - Spanish[/url] [/list] [img]https://i.imgur.com/R9y6QmW.png[/img] [i]Need help? We've got you covered![/i] [h2]Now introducing - shop reroll[/h2] Some of the most common feedback we've gotten is that players want more ways to spend their exceed gems and they want a way to reroll the shop. In the Rose Update, we're adding a shop reroll! You can use this as a way to spend some extra gems, and it makes it slightly easier to try 'themed' builds (a fire-only build as Greybeard, for instance). [img]https://i.imgur.com/mWpaUF8.png[/img] It costs 5 gems to use the reroll the first time, then 10, and it finally caps at 15. You can reroll as often as you like at 15 gems. We hope this new feature gives players a fun way to spend their extra gems, and make it feel more rewarding when you're playing well. [h2]Breaking down scoring[/h2] In the last major update, the Mutation Update, we introduced a new Daily Challenge mode with scores, but didn't really talk about how score is calculated. In this update, we've added a score breakdown view that you can see by tapping your score. The breakdown shows you how the score was calculated, and can be tapped at any time by tapping your score in the lower-left of the screen. [img]https://i.imgur.com/L3lSMAA.png[/img] [i]"Oh, so *that's* how it works!"[/i] [h2]And a whole bunch of fixes![/h2] As always, a big thank you to the Krumit's Tale player community, that has collectively logged dozens of bugs, feature suggestions, and really helped us to make the best game possible.
