Greetings Fellow Vampire Hunters!
Now comes the Engineer...
We are proud to introduce the new Engineer class. He's focused on high damage, short range and comes with Split Shot by default! As he levels up and progresses new Sentinel upgrades are unlocked so now you can drop turrets and buffs in rooms to destroy your enemies.
Change List
Added new Engineer class (Fellowship Unlock required by at least 1 player). Added 10 new upgrades and items including new Sentinels that are placed like turrets and totems. Disabled the minimum 2 player requirement by default. Unobtainable items are now fully obtainable. Updated to the latest game engine version with many stability improvements. Other bug fixes and optimizations.
About Never Split the Party
Never Split the Party is an ultra social rogue-like! You're one of four adventurers entering an epic dungeon to take down the evil vampire known only as The Countess, who killed your parents and is now constantly bombarding you with insults. Explore a procedurally generated dungeon, amass powerful upgrades, and cooperate with your fellow adventures to conquer and crush the vile dungeon bosses! Never Split the Party has over 120 upgrades, 21 magical potions, 28 unique enemies, and over 425 room designs spread among 5 procedurally generated dungeon levels for maximum replayability!
Roles
Each player has both a role and a character class. The four unique roles in the game each provide vital info to the party. - The Cartographer tracks the dungeon maps. - The Treasurer tracks each players inventory. - The Vitalist tracks each players health. - The Loremaster tracks all knowledge of the upgrades. If you were to be split from the party, say through an Skeleton Wizard's teleportation or a Punter that knocks you into the next room, then everyone else would lose access to your roles vital info until you're reunited.
Classes
You'll also get to choose your character class. The Fighter and Cleric classes are available for everyone (so that you can always play with your friends). Access to the other classes as well as Challenge Modes (including PvP) and Bonus Armor and Helmet Cosmetics are available with the Fellowship Unlock.
About Legend Studio
Founded in 1992, Legend Studio is an independent game developer, creating games such as Dragon Forge, Never Split the Party, A Legend of Luca VR, and FreeCell Quest.
Inspired by the wildly successful Among Us, we couldn't help but add a new Intrigue of Werewolves game mode to Never Split the Party. It has support for up to 16 players in a Heroes vs Werewolves game mode. Instead of doing random tasks the Heroes can clear the dungeon and beat the boss, so you get to enjoy the satisfying core combat and exploration of the Never Split the Party gameplay while having the same exciting backstabbing intrigue game. Dungeon maps are randomly generated for infinite replayability and several extra locked treasure rooms have been added to quickly upgrade your characters with interesting new abilities. The new game mode is 100% free to play, so you can always easily invite all of your friends and have a great game.

New Build 1.0.7493: Improved Dedicated Servers
With this new build we've improved our dedicated server support. We finally have a stable Linux server and so we've added new dedicated servers for the west coast of the US and in Europe! This should result in lower ping times and improved game stability for everyone. Also the dedicated server has been programmed to restart periodically when not in use so that players will no longer get kicked off for daily restarts and updates. In a rogue-like game it's very important not to stop a server mid-run. With the new build this will no longer be an issue as the servers will only restart when not in use. The Dedicated Server Setup Guide is now available.

Room Designs Reviewed
Last night we put out a new build that has revised and updated room designs. We went thru every room and rebalanced them to increase the difficulty slightly and to include more of some of the neglected enemies.
Full Patch Notes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bUK-xcCSfc
The Upgrade Update
In this update we added 20 new items! Ten of them are rechargeables. Most of the previous rechargeable items were locked behind achievements so this will help balance that out. The other ten are various stat upgrades to help balance things out as well as some new upgrades relating to potions.
New Challenge Modes
We added a new Four Black Mages challenge that requires four heroes to play as mages. Also, a Race Against Time challenge mode where the dungeon damages all players every few minutes. So the faster you move the better your chances. For the gamers that enjoy the speed runs. Lastly, the Full Plate challenge gives you tons of health and damage but makes you move super slow. So some of the enemies might be unfair but you should have the health and damage to be able to deal with it.
Full Release Soon
We're on the home stretch and will probably release the game from Early Access in the next week or two!
Full Release Notes

Fixed crash in GetClosestActivatable. Fixed more null reference exceptions in Carry/Throw code.
The XP Update
We added a new XP and leveling system to the game. Each class now has a level that gives you progress that is saved between runs. Reaching a new level gives you a slight increase to all of your stats and every 5 levels unlocks a new starting upgrade that can be chosen when you select your class. This allows the classes to be customizable and they can get very powerful. We will be increasing the difficulty of the game a bit to compensate.
Epic Dungeon Challenge
Added a new challenge mode called Epic Dungeon. Several people have requested a mode where the dungeons are bigger and the game runs are much longer. This new challenge mode triples the size of each floor and adds a second hidden room to each floor!

The Value Update
Since there's been occasional feedback about the price of the Fellowship Unlock being too high lunar2019shockedpig we decided to focus on fixing that with this update. Thank you everyone for your support. We've really enjoyed working on this game and can't wait to see where it goes next! We are completely focused on delivering an insanely fun experience. The best way to report feedback is thru the Legend Studio Discord Channel
Lower Price
We've lowered the base price of the Fellowship Unlock to $14.99! We now have seven classes, two challenges (with several more to come), your name in gold, and as an extra bonus, 17 new armor and helmets so that you can dungeon crawl in style.
Player Vs Player!
We've added a new Player vs. Player challenge mode. All challenge modes can be enabled by a single player with the Fellowship Unlock so you can enable PvP and Bomb Craft modes for your friends for free! In PvP it's a free for all deathmatch. Each player kill is worth 1 point and each boss kill is worth 3 points. Don't let them run off with your upgrades! Enemy health is halved and pickup drops are doubled for extra fun.
Bonus Armor & Helmets
As an extra bonus for the Fellowship Unlock we've added a bunch of exclusive new armor and helmets so that you can dungeon crawl in style! As part of this we redesigned and rebuilt the character edit GUI to be much more friendly and usable. You'll now get preview images which makes it easy to see what your options are and we even added a system that lets you rotate your character to see how it looks from different sides.
Next Update Focus
The focus of the next update will try to add several more Challenge Modes to add additional content and more replayability to the game. Now that the Challenge Mode system is fully working we might be able to get five or more new challenges in the next update! Maybe even a daily run system as well. lunar2019grinningpig We will also focus on adding a bunch more upgrades. We especially need more rechargeable upgrades as there's only a few that aren't locked behind character classes achievements. Adding more will cut down on the confusion around the green gems that recharge your mana. Upgrades and Challenges are the big items that are keeping us from releasing out of early access.

Trinkets
This new release adds 14 new upgrades available to find in the dungeon. We focused on adding trinket slot items that you can only have one at a time of. There were only about 3 available before so they were pretty rare and the slot would almost never be used. When you find an extra trinket it makes for interesting decisions on what to keep and the extra trinkets can be shared with the other members of the party, so they make the game a little more social. With the 14 new upgrades our upgrade count is now at 92. Our goal before leaving early access is to have 120 upgrades available. About half of them will be unlocked thru achievements.
Challenge Mode
This release also adds the new Bomb Craft challenge mode! In this mode all players start with Demolition (bombs as shots) and the treasure rooms are removed. Players often think this upgrade is OP but it's actually quite tricky since it can cause team damage. The challenge modes can only be selected by someone who owns the Fellowship unlock. So at least one of the 4 players will need to buy the game but then you can be a cool friend and unlock it for everyone.

Since launching last week we’ve had some fantastic success with the game being enjoyed by many players. We’ve had 70,000 downloads and our peak concurrent players was over 500. Lots of you really seem to enjoy the game. There have been some complaints about our business model. We want to do a shareware like model, where everyone can always play with their friends. Then if you want you can unlock the rest of the content with a one time purchase. We didn’t want to do crates and keys and turn the game into a hat store. ːcrateː ːcleankeyː Making money was not our primary motivation for making Never Split the Party. But we would like to make enough to justify continued investment. We have many plans to expand the content of the game. We are making the Cleric class free! ːsteamhappyː Playing as a Cleric makes the game easier because she is focused on defense. You don’t die as easily and your team will survive longer with a Cleric on the team. We’re planning on adding more classes to the Fellowship Full Game Unlock, as well as adding challenge modes for additional replayability and increased difficulty. The challenge modes are planned to require the Fellowship Full Game Unlock for the host of the game. Most of our negative reviews are from non-english languages, so we’ve also been working hard to improve our localization support. We apologize to those that have experience bugs. Please be patient with us as Never Split the Party is in early access. -= Full Release Notes =- Fixed errors relating to upgrades. Delay item flavor text more. Don't carry store upgrades. Upgrades don't go thru walls anymore. Cleric class is now free to play. Fixed upgrades being picked up. Shrank pot hit box. Fixed level change while NPC dialog open. Updated enemy send rates.

Never Split the Party Linux Depot [587.35 M]
Never Split the Party: Fellowship
Explore a programmatically generated dungeon, amass powerful upgrades, cooperate with your fellow adventures to conquer and crush the evil dungeon champions!
Never Split the Party has over 120 upgrades, 19 magical potions, 28 unique enemies, and over 425 room designs spread among 5 programmatically generated dungeon levels for maximum replayability!
In addition each player will receive a unique role in the game. The Cartographer tracks the dungeon maps. The Treasurer tracks each players inventory. The Vitalist tracks each players health. And the Loremaster tracks all knowledge of the upgrades.
If you were to be split from the party, say through an Skeleton Wizard's teleportation or a Punter that knocks you into the next room, then everyone else would lose access to your roles vital info until you're reunited.
You'll also get to unlock and choose your character class. While the initial Paladin class will be FREE for everyone (so that you can always play with your friends), access to the other 5 classes require the paid DLC.
