A big (pumpkin) patch full of improvements, new features, content and bug fixes has reached the guild from the other side of the veil... Patch Notes:

• You can now buy Pumpk-... I mean Kurba seeds from the merchant. Plant them and decorate your guild with them. Either as they are or with 1 of 7 carved faces!
• The boss of the Twilight thicket has been balanced. It's now easier to dodge its projectiles and the pylons' aim attack has been made a different colour to make it easier to anticipate, the arena has also been made bigger to allow easier dodging and many more changes. The boss now also has different moves depending on difficulty setting, making it easier on casual and harder on Master.
• Items in crates at the guild now stack to 100, irrespective of their normal max stack size.
• The hammer now has a "move" action which allows instantly moving an already placed item.
• You can now shift click a tool in your inventory to instantly move it into the toolbar or swap with an existing tool of the same type.
• You can now rotate the workbench.
• Armour calculation has been updated, making it less effective agains low damage attacks.
• The fireball ability now costs 10 will and has a chance to inflict burning.
• The merchant has an increased amount of coin at hand, allowing you to sell more items to him.
• It is now possible to get the Fish Master Achievement.
• A lot of fish are now easier to catch and all fish grant more XP (fishing will receive more work in future updates).
• An issue which caused different difficulty settings to have little effect has been fixed and the difficulties have been refined somewhat.
• Thanks to physics interpolation the game should now run smoother on many systems.
• Many more bugfixes, balancing and other improvements!

Some more fixes and improvements have now arrived at the guild! Patch Notes:

• Adjusted placement of Architect table in guild and garden to make it line up better with player-placed tables.
• Added a hint in the fuel menu of cooking and alchemy stations, describing how to drop less than a full stack (spoiler: by right clicking!).

About 5 years ago I started working on a little hobby project, I called Guild Master. A game that combines games like roguelike games like Hades and more relaxed simulation games like Stardew Valley (Although Hades wasn't released at the time). When I graduated University and couldn't get a job I decided to finish that hobby project and release it as a proper game. Today I have finally released a demo to the public, here on Steam! Please give it a try and let me know what you think! If you add the game to your wishlist and/or drop a positive review I will be eternally grateful! Enjoy your time in Guild Master! /Max

Imagine combining games like stardew valley and hades. In Guild Master you take care of a guild, farm, fish, build and recruit new members to your guild between roguelike adventures. You choose how you play. Will you focus on farming and trading or rake in loot from your adventures? I've been working on Guild Master for a long time and am happy to show it to finally announce it! The goal is to release the game in the end of 2024, with a demo sometime before that. Wishlist it now on steam and follow for updates!
