First of all, I'd like to say thank you to those who have supported the game up to this point, including those who have either provided feedback or let me know directly about any bugs or issues you have found with the game. It can be difficult for myself to find all of them, but people's descriptions of such events help a lot in finding solutions.
The Steam Winter Sale especially proved troubling as being away for the holidays meant I couldn't provide immediate solutions, so I appreciate the patience some of you had.
The main issues which have been resolved in the patch released today included runtime errors at the start of boss battles late into the game as well as crashes in the Linux build which were caused by the random number generator.
Hope you enjoy the improved build of 1.0.4 and hope for the best of 2018!

Gemstone Keeper is a twin stick shooter where avid explorers go down into the Cistershire Caverns, a large, dangerous and mysterious set of caves and caverns that are filled with vast amounts of rare and valuable gemstones. This game combines the quick and reactionary feel of a shooter with the exploration and decision making of classic roguelikes.
Using an ASCII art aesthetic in its purest form, all visual assets are produced from a single text font file, software rendering and visual effects. The weapon and bullet system is fully interchangeable, over 150 gemstones to collect, several creatures and bosses, different game modes and a soundtrack that echoes through the open spaces in-between the rocky walls. Gemstone Keeper is the shooter that is both fun and eerie.
MINIMAL SETUP
