A quick update to the game:
Also known as 1.2.0, since winning a prestigious GOTY award I've put together a Game Of The Year Edition, as is tradition in gaming. 1.2.0 adds two new gameplay modes: Tourism and Endless. Tourism allows you to just play through the game without any enemies and Endless is played on a single map where you try for a high score. Both modes were fun to add and are hopefully enjoyable to play as well! The game should update on Steam and itch (via the itch app) when you start the launchers.
The game will also run in "Game Of The Year" mode for the month of January, which is entirely cosmetic, displaying a fancy GOTY logo on the title screen (pictured above). You can also play as GhOsTY, who is exactly Ghost except purple (the official GOTY color). If you play the Steam version you can unlock an achievement by beating the game with GhOsTY! I hope you enjoy and have a happy New Year!
Here's the full list of changes:
Realm of the Ghost King is now on sale for 40% off! It will be on sale at this discount for the rest of October and probably for a day in November. It's a game with ghosts and monsters, so it's certainly a good October type of game in that regard.
If you need more enticing, I added something strange and weird to the game as well. If you play it at night (specifically after 7pm) for the last ten days of October you'll get a slightly modified version of the game with more pumpkins than the original. The main change is all the Spirit Bombs have been changed from skulls to pumpkins, which is kind of weird but silly. The second change is, if you manage to make it to the Ghost King he will be a pumpkin instead of a ghost. I don't know why I did this, but it's there. The changes to both the bombs and King are purely aesthetic, so everything otherwise works exactly the same.
I know I said I probably wouldn't be doing more updates, but it just seemed too fun and weird not to do this. Other games have more in-depth Halloween updates, but have they ever replaced the titular character with a pumpkin? I doubt it!
Log into Steam to grab the latest version of Realm of the Ghost King. 1.1.0 is a totally free update with new features, general improvements and bug fixes! Read on for the full set of changes in 1.1.0!

This is a fairly minor update with some fixes for bugs that have been reported but I'm sadly unable to replicate. Hopefully more reliable trigger of "I Hate The Ghost King" achievement for those who have 3+ regicides. I was able to activate the achievement myself while testing but I put the code that executes it in a slightly different place. Hopefully this will be more reliable, but I can't promise it will work for everyone, obviously. Less cleverness with GPU detection that will hopefully make the game more stable on Linux? Again, the game runs for me on Ubuntu Trusty (in a VM) but it's using Electron so I can't make any promises. If the game is crashing for you, you could try running it with the --disable-gpu command line option. Many apologies if it doesn't run for you! More updates/fixes for the blocked exit bug which is one of the most frustrating bugs since I haven't seen it myself it in months and I've never figured out how to reproduce it. Lots of testing but not much progress. But, hopefully this helps out some people! Obviously let me know when/if any of these issues surface. Thanks!

Naturally 1.0.3 attempted to fix and improve things so it ended up creating some bugs.

The first post-launch patch! This is a fairly minor release with some housekeeping and typos (sorry, Devon!) but contains a few good things.
