Public Linux Depots:- WeakWood Throne Content [180.54 M]
Beta branch with content update is live!Good news, everyone! The content update isn't quite done yet but I have created a beta branch on Steam where you can check out some of the upcoming changes!
I'm particularly looking for feedback for these awesome new features:
- Keyboard/Controller support
- Difficulty scaling rework
Please note that the update isn't done in terms of balancing and content (think more unique modifiers for the difficulty scaling for example). The ladder is also disabled on the beta branch.
To play this version, choose the beta branch in the game's properties on Steam. If you want to play with your current profile, copy your profile folder "blackenslash" to "blackenslash_beta". You can find this folder here:
Windows: %APPDATA%\blackenslash\
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/blackenslash/
Linux: ~/.local/share/blackenslash/
If you're not convinced yet, have a look at the preliminary patch notes:
ADDED
- Full controller and keyboard support: consoles here we come! <3
- Archive folders: you can now create builds in the archive with folders!
- MINELAYER script: for the rest of combat, you leave shock mines as you move
- More Gigasprite boss levels
CHANGED
- Completely reworked difficulty scaling:
> Each run ends after level 100, but runs now have a score!
> After each gate reward you can choose an upgrade for the enemies
> You can get score bonuses by choosing harder enemy upgrades
- Made many performance improvements under the hood to save energy and keep your device cool ;-)
- Improved spanish translation (thanks to Estyx Translations <3)
- The full PIXEL PUSHER set no longer grants the ability to push immobile enemies; instead you leave shock mines upon pushing
- Removed all levels with both Megasprites and Spawners
- Removed translucent tiles from all levels, instead teleport scripts are now disabled in gate levels
- Grid overload strikes no longer affect treasures
- RANGED ROUNDHOUSE script damage nerfed from 100-300 to 100-200
- MELEE ANNIHILATION (3) script damage buffed from 40-120 to 50-200
- MELEE ANNIHILATION (5) script damage buffed from 100-300 to 200-300
- MELEE CROSS (1) script damage buffed from 50-100 to 80-120
- MELEE CROSS (2) script damage buffed from 100-200 to 100-300
FIXED
- The options in the language select and similar interface items are now a little bigger and easier to select on mobile devices
- Using certain scripts can no longer lead to levels ending early
- Teleporting enemies no longer teleport when they could move and attack instead
