Hello Adventurers!

Today we are releasing just a small patch for the PRELUDE. We are still in the middle of getting ready for Early Access. But we have some additional information for you regarding Early Access today. Weve already mentioned a couple of things about this during our DevStream on Tuesday. If youve missed it you can watch it here on YouTube [previewyoutube=uUSDX0cnhPw;full][/previewyoutube] The Early Access will start with 7 characters, 11 abilities and 3 stages. We will expand upon abilities giving you the possibility to upgrade or evolve them, depending on how you want to call it. Each ability upgrade should be roughly as powerful as the initial ability itself. Ability upgrades can be chosen instead of a new ability when for example picking up the Scroll of Mastery.
But our main focus has been on playable characters. The 4 additional characters for the Early Access will be:

• Cleric (Debuffs & Regeneration)
• Warlock (Summonings)
• Shield Maiden (Blocking & Crowd Control)
• Sorceress (Lightning Damage & Electrify Effect)

For more information, we recommend looking into the DevStream. Weve played all characters during the stream and gave a first glance at additional abilities. Please be aware that we played a development build, so many things are not finalized, yet But now for todays changes on the PRELUDE

Change Log 2023-04-27

POLISH & QOL

• Updated effect markers (Slow & Fragile).
• Burn effect damage numbers are now displayed differently than normal damage.
• Rats from the rat ring have now proper sprites

BUG FIXES

• Stun is now also setting the attack speed of enemies to 0.
• Fixing the Bogged Boots, they actually slow down now.
• Rat ring cant be used to spawn endless rats anymore.
• Arrows and Swordsman hits with fire damage are not unblockable anymore.
• Fixed an issue that allowed item duping.
• Settings wouldnt save on the first start of the game.
• Adding backup save games in case of corrupted save games, so not the whole progress is wiped.

What's Next?

We are currently working on a lot of new content and finishing features for the EA. This includes ability upgrades, changes on ability traits, the third Level Forgotten Viaduct, and much more. In mid May well have a bigger update on the EA and what will be included in the release. Well probably share a date and update plans afterwards. When releasing the EA we also intend to update the PRELUDE to match the changes of the early game in the EA version.
