That aren't yet announced...Rebuilt from the Ground Up
Slay the Spire 2 was completely rewritten from the ground up in a new game engine! We're bringing in modern features, incorporating all-new visuals, and expanding moddability.Coming to Early Access. Again!
Slay the Spire's success comes from our community! It sounds corny, but the extra mile many of you went to report issues, translate content/announcements, create long video essays, make excellent (lol) tier lists, and draw goofy or gorgeous fan art is the reason we're doing it all again. We love our job!
\n\nGreetings! This month\'s issue marks the 1-year anniversary of The Neowsletter!! Thank you to everyone who has been reading along since the beginning.\n\nThe Mega Crit team is still hard at work on the sequel. We\'re on that grindset >:( But also striking a good work/life balance >:)\n\nThe main focus lately has been content. It has to be fresh, challenging, and complex while also making sure that the game is accessible to new players and retains that Slay the Spire feel and magic. That was a bit too vague to be interesting news... let\'s take a sneak peek at some relics and potions instead!\n\n
Relics & Potions
\n\nHere\'s an assortment of relics (top row) and potions (bottom row) coming in the sequel! Relics retain their classic look but you may have noticed that potions got a little makeover; they each have their own distinct sprites. Very rare potions can look quite exotic too.\n\n
\n[olist]\nQ&A with Casey & Anthony
\n\nAlex asks: What is your favourite beta art from Slay the Spire 1?\nCasey: Certainly TURBO\nDemi: Popping in to say Tantrum was the first one to come to mind. It\'s cute :)\n\nAkroo asks: I\'d like to know if you are planning on improving even further the modding possibilities of STS2 ?\nCasey: We\'re creating more entry points in the game but I don\'t know about improving modding possibilities... in STS1 you can rewrite any part of the game already. You could put a game in the game or order a pizza already.\n\nOscar asks: Will some cards have pun-based art?\nCasey: Preferably not. If STS2 has puns, I\'ve failed.\n\nBrandon asks: Do the characters have canon names? Like, sure, they\'re the Ironclad, but is his real name Steve? What about watcher? Is her name Jasmine? Cause that\'s a pretty name\nAnthony: no\n\nDelta asks: If all the artifacts are made of bronze does using Feed to kill Donu turn the Ironclad into Bronzeclad?\nAnthony: no\n\nThaan asks: What can we expect from general UI Improvements? My wish list includes a turn counter display that doesnt disappear after two seconds and a way to know how much you have spent on card removal so you can budget your next one.\nCasey: Yes\n\n
\n\nSpire Spotting
\n\nDemi here! That means it\'s time to continue our journey through the much-evolved Spire.\n\nLet\'s take a look at last month\'s mysterious silhouette:\n\n
\n\nAnd now, let\'s check out our researchers\' hypotheses:\n\n
\nThe award for saddest theory goes to alex1729, who drew Neow trapped in vines at the bottom of the ocean... poor Neow :(\n\n
\nThe award for most accurate theory goes to PrincexKoi, who drew an organic-looking, viny, quadrupedal monster!\n\nShout out to all of the other submissions (many of which seemed to center around Neow or another character becoming trapped/corrupted actually...)\n\n

\n\nAgh! It\'s an enormous, shambling monster seemingly made of vines?? This publication is currently referring to this creature as a Vine Shambler, which we thought was apt.\n\n
\n\nOf course, there are always further discoveries to be made--yet another shadowy creature has emerged! If you have any guesses as to what this creature could be, be sure to submit them via fanmail@megacrit.com or in our Discord\'s fanart channel!\n\nConnections Section
