Update Reverted - A New Beginning
On the 28/03 we released the New Beginning update, which brings a bunch of new systems and changes all across the game. Many of the changes were not well received, so while we are working on addressing the feedback, we have reverted the game to the previous version.
These will all be reintroduced to the game as soon as we fix the issues with the new update. This was a massive update, and while we are working all day long to address the feedback, it will take some time until everything is addressed.
These are still kept, and when the update is reintroduced, you will not have lost any progress. The only change will be the runes. If you had any of the new runes equipped, it will be automatically unequipped.
When they are ready. We will not risk promising a date now, as the most important thing is getting the update to the place where it needs to be. If you want to help us in this process and voice your concerns, we will probably start alpha testing these chances to the update on our Discord very soon. As mentioned we are working around the clock, but it is hard to know exactly how long this process will take.
While we work on addressing the issues with the new update, you can still play it in a new branch on Steam called "newbeginning". To access it, you must do the following: 1 - Right click the game name on your Steam Library and go to Properties:
2- Click on "Betas", and then click on "New Beginning";
I won't lie, this is a very hard decision for me and the whole team. We are a small company, pouring our hearts and souls into this game, sacrificing pretty much all of our personal lives to make this game as good as it can be, but at the end of the day, we are human, and we can make mistakes. We took a chance to try and make the game better, but we clearly did not hit the mark, at least not to all of you. All that is left to do is learn from the experience, and move forward. We will continue giving our best to make Soulstone Survivors the best game it can be, and must ask for a bit more patience before we are ready to re-release this update and all the new content it brough with it. I really apologise for the confusion and inconvenience, and it really breaks my heart to be writing this message today instead of watching all of you enjoying the game, and I hope we will be able to make right by you on the next one.

Hey everyone, This is Allan, the lead developer of Soulstone Survivors. Today we are making a hard decision.
We are TEMPORARILY reverting the "New Beginning" update entirely, in response to the negative feedback of the update. If you like the update, please check the instructions of how to access it below.
What happened?
On the 28/03 we released the New Beginning update, which brings a bunch of new systems and changes all across the game. Many of the changes were not well received, so while we are working on addressing the feedback, we have reverted the game to the previous version.
What about the new character, runes, etc?
These will all be reintroduced to the game as soon as we fix the issues with the new update. This was a massive update, and while we are working all day long to address the feedback, it will take some time until everything is addressed.
What happens to my skill tree? I had already purchased nodes in the Monkey King skill tree!
These are still kept, and when the update is reintroduced, you will not have lost any progress. The only change will be the runes. If you had any of the new runes equipped, it will be automatically unequipped.
When can we expect those changes?
When they are ready. We will not risk promising a date now, as the most important thing is getting the update to the place where it needs to be. If you want to help us in this process and voice your concerns, we will probably start alpha testing these chances to the update on our Discord very soon. As mentioned we are working around the clock, but it is hard to know exactly how long this process will take.
