Hotfix 1.0.6080 available
Aiming is still not perfect with mouse and keyboard, especially when the cursor is right above/below the player. I'll keep working on it.
This will probably be the last hotfix for a while - I'm going to roll the next batch of changes into Technical Update 1. This will also give me some flexibility to make some much needed changes (like balance changes to weapons and items) in addition to more bugfixes. If you've still got a bug affecting you it has *not* been dropped - I will keep looking at them and fixing them. Also I'm aiming for a relatively short timeline for Tech Update 1 so you hopefully won't be waiting long. After Tech Update 1 we'll be working on and delivering Content Update 1. This will contain the first batch of new content for the game since launch. How much content we manage to fit in will partially depend on the bug load. More info on this as it gets closer to release.
Finally - we'll be at PAX West in the Indie MEGABOOTH! If you're going to be there please come visit - we'll have pins and art cards to give away, and we'll be happy to chat about what's coming up in the next updates. For folks who can't make it - I apologize in advance for not being able to spend so much time on the forums or for a lack of updates over that period of time. Running a show is very time consuming, but I'll do my best to keep an eye things while I'm gone.

- Monsters and Monocles [Linux] [188 M]
Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.
Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.
Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.
Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
