A day passing as slowly as a village brook? Thats not in Wills dictionary.

Greetings travellers, Will is back on an adventuring path, and with Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, the Digital Sun team is taking the beloved shopkeeping adventure to bold new heights. From deeper roguelike mechanics to vibrant, colourful 3D visuals and fresh biomes brimming with surprises, this sequel aims to outshine its predecessor while staying true to its charming roots. We caught up with the team to uncover how theyre levelling up the Moonlighter experience and what fans can look forward to in this exciting new chapter. [previewyoutube=uZW8MwekNHk;full][/previewyoutube] What are the biggest changes or evolutions in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault compared to the original game? Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault retains the beloved adventure-meets-shopkeeping core of the first game but adds a deeper layer of replayability and complexity to every system. Take the dungeons, for examplethey now feature upgrades that vary from run to run, significantly influencing your playstyle. The same goes for shopkeeping, with unique perks and customization options shaping each sale. As for inventory management, relics now interact in diverse ways, including biome-specific effects. Our goal is to make every run feel fresh and distinct from the last.
Where does the story of Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault pick up in relation to the first game? After the events of the first game, Will loses his home dimension and becomes a castaway in the blob-infested land of Tresna, accompanied by both familiar faces and new allies. But his luck takes a turn when he stumbles upon the Endless Vaultan ancient relic said to grant limitless treasures to those with boundless ambition. Perhaps among these treasures lies a way back home. Can you give us a glimpse into how the shopkeeping and dungeon-crawling mechanics will evolve? Both systems have been significantly expanded. Players will unlock perks and upgrades that change from run to run, boosting income or improving dungeon-crawling abilities, among other effects. Were taking the elements that made the first Moonlighter unique and appealing to new heights, adding layers of depth to both combat and commerce. How has the balance between shopkeeping and combat been approached in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault? One of the things we nailed in the first game was the balance between dungeon crawling and shopkeeping. While Moonlighter 2 is still an ARPG roguelite with plenty of battles to gather loot, the shop remains the heart of the experience. This time, weve amplified its role with added customization, strategic decision-making, and dynamic changes between runs, making it more engaging and rewarding than ever. What new systems or features are you most excited for players to experience? Honestly, everything! After five years of development, were excited to see how players interact with the new perks, mechanics, and added replayability. Weve fully embraced the roguelike possibilities of Moonlighter and cant wait to see how players engage with these fresh elements.
Can you tell us more about the new regions, dungeons, or biomes that players will explore? Without spoiling too much, players can look forward to exploring vastly different biomes in this sequel. From a harsh desert dimension to an eerie museum and a battlefield frozen in time, each region introduces exclusive enemies, relics, upgrades, and challenges that influence inventory management and combat strategies. Are there any returning characters from Moonlighter, or will players meet an entirely new cast? Yes! Long-time fans will reconnect with familiar faces like Andrei the blacksmith and Eris the witch, alongside an array of new characters such as a mysterious relic collector How has the art style evolved in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, and what was the teams goal with its 3D visuals? The most noticeable change is the shift from 2D pixel art to 3D visuals. Its a big leap, but the response from players has been overwhelmingly positive. The 3D approach allows us to create more detailed environments, enhance combat mechanics, and bring the world of Moonlighter to life in new and exciting ways. Its worth noting that our composer for Moonlighter 2 is Christopher Larkin, well-known from Hollow Knight. Were big fans, so were thrilled to have him on board. What were the biggest challenges in designing Moonlighter 2, especially following the success of the first game? Our biggest challenge was improving upon the original while preserving everything that made it so beloved. Striking a balance between what already worked and what weve learned after years of development and several other games released was key to crafting a worthy sequel.
How has fan feedback from Moonlighter influenced the development of its sequel? Weve spent countless hours analyzing player feedback to understand what they lovedand what they didntabout the first game. The emphasis on replayability and variety in the sequel is a direct result of this process. What aspects of Moonlighter 2 do you think will surprise fans the most? Fans will likely be amazed by the leap in quality and scope. This sequel is deeper, richer, and more visually stunning than ever. Players expecting "more of the same" will be pleasantly surprised by how far weve pushed the boundaries. Do you have plans for post-launch support, like updates, expansions, or events? Absolutely! We supported the first game with extensive post-launch content, and Moonlighter 2 will follow the same path. What does the team hope players will take away from their experience with Moonlighter 2? For returning players, we hope theyll have even more fun than in the original and feel that their feedback truly shaped this sequel. For newcomers, we aim to deliver an experience they can lose themselves in for countless hours. What platforms are you targeting for release? Moonlighter 2 is confirmed for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 and thats all well say for now! That said, the whole team at Digital Sun is committed to making the Moonlighter sequel a compelling and challenging single-player experience. So, all you business-savvy adventurersstay sharp and keep an eye out for new updates about the game!

Greetings, Heroes and Merchants! Gather round, gather round, we have some exciting news for you today! As you know, Moonlighter has seen huge success on all platforms it has been released on so far. Now, it brings its adventuring, dungeon crawling, and shopkeeping to your pockets thanks to an all-new iOS adaptation! Here's a short date announcement teaser: https://youtu.be/tUIyjfQZppg How it plays on a smaller screen of your phone, you ask? Well, it's all taken care of, no worries. Controls keep up with the fast-paced monster-slaying gameplay thanks to dropping virtual twin sticks that tend to be problematic on smaller screen devices. Instead, the game features tap and swipe mechanics for moving and dashing, which can be done by both thumbs, that allows players to instantly react to upcoming danger. The user interface has been reorganized and rescaled to perform with the same efficiency on various resolutions, and enemy behaviors and statistics - including boss encounters - were tweaked to suit the new gameplay style. So basically - it's a similar experience to the one you know and love - it gives you the same thrill of adventure - but it's been adjusted to fit the peculiarity of mobile devices. Oh, and this should go without saying - but all the free content updates that were released on other platforms so far are available in the mobile version from day one so players can enjoy the game in its richest form. Moonlighter on iOS will be available on November 19th and priced at $11,99/12,99. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to be up to date! Stay brave, Adventurers! Digital Sun & 11 bit studios

Hi there, Community!

We have some super exciting news for you!

We are proud to team up once again with the developers of Moonlighter and take on an ambitious project from Fools Theory! Both projects -- in various stages of development with further details coming in 2020 and beyond -- are bigger in scope than anything 11 bit has previously published. Were still an extremely picky publisher. Were probably even pickier than we were before if you can believe it! Our job is to hand-pick true gems and put our best efforts in with the development teams to help make them shine. We believe in boosting unique projects and using all the marketing magic we have to see them succeed. Right now, weve got two projects were really proud to have under our wing, - Pawel Feldman, Publishing Director at 11 bit studios.
Details are sparse right now (gotta save all that marketing magic for later), but we can reveal the following:

• We are beyond thrilled to be teaming up with Poland-based Fools Theory for their latest project, codenamed Vitriol. The studio behind the artfully created stealth title, Seven: The Days Long Gone, is developing a game best described as a meaningful RPG. Jakub Rokosz, CEO at Fools Theory says, We are truly happy to align with 11 bit studios. Theyre known for their ability to find the unique spirit in a game and I believe our upcoming title fits impeccably with the type of projects they like to work on.
• You might also say that we are over the Moon(lighter) to be teaming up once more with Digital Sun Games. Theres nothing to divulge just yet, but rest assured that the hard-working Spanish developer is putting the same care and attention into their new project (codename Foxhole) as they did with their critically acclaimed indie hit, Moonlighter, but this time its a totally new IP. We badly wanted to work with these guys again. As a team, we feel 11 bit did a great job with Moonlighter and we both want to do even better things together. Its really as simple as that, says Javier Gimenez, CEO at Digital Sun Games.

And if you're willing to look for more clues, here's a short but very mysterious video: https://youtu.be/0xR4XkeOqao We're very much excited for the things to come. We hope you're sharing this excitement with us now! Stay tuned! Be sure to follow us on social media to stay up to date with all our news:

Hello there, Heroes and Merchants!

The new Portal that appeared in the Between Dimensions DLC proved to be more unstable than we've initially believed. You've contacted us about many anomalies that invaded Rynoka - and we're very thankful for that! Your amazing support helped us a lot if it comes to tracking and fixing DLC-related bugs. We have already released a small patch a few days ago - and here is another one! We know it still doesn't address all the issues that you're experiencing but we decided it's better to patch some stuff earlier so more of you can enjoy the game immediately. Next patch is coming soon!

Here's the list of fixes:

General Fixes:

• Items are now properly converted upon starting DLC in NG+ (DLC+)
• Trader customers can't request the same item as their offer anymore
• Bed damage absorption buff should now be adjusted to DLC+
• Prices of DLC's Big swords and Bows are properly adjusted
• Enchantment effects of DLC armor and weapons shouldn't disappear upon restarting the game
• DLC Armor bonuses in Enchantment menu at Witch are properly displayed now

Dungeon Fixes:

• Fixed issue where Vine Flower enemy could become invincible
• "Small Spectral Flame" and "Heavy Metal Plates" items should now properly drop from enemies
• Effect of "Life Drain Amulet" deactivates properly upon unequipping it
• Interdimensional weapons can't be sent home using Home Chest secret room
• Golem Dungeon first miniboss damage reduced
• "Ghost" and "Dimensional Worm" enemies should now appear on proper levels of the Wanderer Dungeon
• Fixed empty chests after defeating Boss in Wanderer Dungeon

Shop Fixes:

• Items bought by the undecided clients should now be properly saved to the Merchant Notebook

Besides reporting issues, though, you have also praised the new content that we've added to the game! You seem to enjoy the new Dungeon that Between Dimensions DLC introduced to the game - and that makes us very happy! This motivates us even more to get those pesky bugs out of your way as soon as possible. Thanks for all the positivity and for your constant support! Stay awesome! Cheers!

Hello there, Heroes and Merchants!

As you already know, we've recently released our first paid DLC: Between Dimensions! However, when we've listed all the amazing DLC's new features and all the tweaks and smaller changes - it was kinda easy to miss an important piece of information: some of the content is totally free for everyone! Yes. A brand new content - which was supposed to be part of this DLC - is now free! Yay!

List of free stuff:

• A new thief trying to steal your money from the cash register!
• A new client the indecisive customer - better hurry and attend them!
• A bothersome bird terrorizing your customers - so little, yet so dangerous!
• 4 new Baby Slimecompanions - too cute to be true!
• And on top of that, the basic Rings and Amulets (not the ones from the DLC, tho!) are now available during your first playthrough (if you didn't know: before they were available only in New Game+ Mode).

We really hope you like this new content! We believe it added some nice variety to the original game. :) --- On top of that: huge thank you for sending us feedback about any issues that you might be encountering. We've already released a small hotfix and are working on another. So worry not - we hear you, we are reading Steam Discussions and other channels, we are aware of the problems that you're reporting - and we want to fix them as soon as possible! Stay awesome! Cheers!

Despite the games market hardships, this young indie title proved to be a strong contender in the intensely competitive gaming community. With continued growth, Moonlighter gained trust and appreciation from its fans thanks to the numerous updates it sprouted the More Stock Update, Adventure Update, Friends & Foes, and more.

Greetings, Heroes and Merchants!

Its been almost a year since weve released Moonlighter in 2018. Your response to the game was nothing short of amazing, youve sent us myriads of positive comments and honest feedback which in the long term helped us improve the game and add some features your adventurous hearts desired. Our team was able to introduce things like: 100 new room patterns, new skins, New Game+ mode, pirate weapons, rings, companions, minibosses just to name a few.

It makes us super happy to see that Moonlighters community is growing all the time and today we are celebrating 500 000+ copies of the game sold around the world!

For an indie studio like Digital Sun this number is truly amazing! But we are not stopping there! Together with 11 bit studios, we are happy to announce that our first paid DLC, Between Dimensions, is coming out this year and it is our biggest expansion so far.

On top of that, there are never-seen-before Trick Weapons giving you some special powers but they can be a little bit punishing (and, well, tricky) at the same time, so be sure to use them wisely. You can also expect some new visitors to hop by the village of Rynoka as well as numerous gadgets to reskin and upgrade Wills shop, too.

Between Dimensions DLC introduces:

Between Dimensions DLC is planned for Summer 2019 and it is going to be available on all platforms this year, too! At this point, you might be thinking: Whoa, thats really something! They surely cant be working on something else! but it is still not all the news that we have! Our courageous team is also working on a mobile port of Moonlighter! Well, scratch that. Moonlighter for mobile is not your regular port. It is an adaptation. And that makes the difference. Its going to be enhanced and adjusted to use the best of mobile devices: rebalanced mechanics, redesigned levels and enemies, with brand new controls. We are also very happy to announce that the mobile version is also planned for the year 2019! Yay! We hope that youre as excited as we are about this news!

For the average price of a dozen donuts ($14.99 / 14.99), you can fill the shoes of disgraced detective Jack Kelly on his road to redemption after being framed for murder.

Jack Kelly's on a mission to clear his name in this pixel perfect homage to the cop shows of days gone by, and he can't do it without your help. Watch the release trailer here: https://youtu.be/LXVsCIgX-ow Solve puzzling problems on the roughest of streets, help the local community, deal with dangerous mobsters and gangsters, be the good cop or take the odd bribe on the side, and finally, solve the mystery of a murder youve been framed for.

Features:

• Retro pixel art experience with a non-linear story and multiple endings
• The pure essence of 80s cop shows
• Mature *ahem* humor
• Laying down the law, one ticket at a time

Originally developed for PC by the indie team at Pixel Crow and published by 11 bit studios, Beat Cop: Console Edition has been brought to life by the sweet, huggable team at Crunching Koalas.

Hello there, Heroes and Merchants!

Moonlighters Friends & Foes Update is here just in time for Valentines Day - 'cause nothing says LOVE like strengthening bonds through monster slaying.

Someone smart said that a true friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: Lets slay some monsters together!. And even though our freshly introduced 9 familiars cannot really talk - they are more than happy to aid you during the most dangerous endeavors. To counterbalance that, though, weve also added brand new ferocious minibosses - so were hoping that you and your new companions are getting on well with each other, youre gonna need all the help you can get! On top of that, weve added plenty of other features and fixes - find a Feature Overview video and the full list of changes below! https://youtu.be/spd-mDqqRD8

NEW FEATURES AND MAJOR CHANGES

Companions

We have developed 9 new familiars. To get them, you need to kill a particular enemy type 10 times. Then, a special Egg will appear! After 3 days, the egg will hatch inside your farm - and your new friend is going to be ready for action! Each familiar has different mechanics. They can damage enemies, restore your life, get items for you, act as an additional chest and more

Minibosses

We have added 8 minibosses! They will appear as guardians of the dungeons, securing gateways leading to deeper rooms. They will emerge at the end of the first and second floor in each dungeon.

Zenons Campfire

From now on, when you visit the dungeons at night, Zenon will be there, sitting by his campfire, ready to tell you some stories of old, about Rynoka and Moonlighters world. Those tales will be unlocked with the games progression.

Tomo Stories

We've modified and added more lines for Tomo. They should explain her relationship with Will better, shedding some light on their mutual past.

Banker Information

We have introduced a lot of special warnings and UI changes to avoid the Banker "stealing" your money. A lot of you forgot to revisit that mustachioed capitalist and were losing the investment.

Sorting Items

We've added a sorting method inside the inventory.

Get the Broom!

Weve added the possibility to get the Broom from Le Retailer (if youve managed to lose it somehow!). The Broom is important for getting some achievements - so we hope youre gonna like that little feature!

Prices Update

Weve added a new system in the Shop to better inform whenever Items price gets updated.

MINOR CHANGES AND FIXES

General Fixes:

• Improved item "picking-up" mechanic. Items should no longer "fly away" from Will
• Damage absorption buff (orange health bar) gained from sleeping in the upgraded bed was increased in the New game+
• Fixed issue where some weapons could not be enchanted beyond the first upgrade
• (Steam Only) - Supporter Bow no longer can be enchanted over and over
• Fixed issue where Wishlist could display wrong information about ingredients when an item was added to it at the Witch
• Fixed issue with ingredients for weapon enchanting
• Fixed minor issue with Hawker item prices
• Fixed minor UI issues at the Witch and Wishlist

• An issue where Bard Puppet could become invincible (flying golem from the Desert Dungeon) is now finally fixed
• Character no longer gets stuck when opening a chest when the Wanderer (green monster) is about to destroy it
• Golem Dungeon Boss' hand slam attack should now follow the character properly
• Fixed issue where 5th Dungeon Boss did not receive damage from arrows during one animation
• Fixed Forest Dungeon Boss' leap attack damage

Shop Fixes:

• Fixed issue where Will could get stuck in the shop not able to open counters, sleep or exit through the door

Important notice:we've worked hard to make this Update available simultaneously for all the platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC etc.).

However, itmay be available during different hours for various platforms. So don't panic if you notice this update on PC but not on your console at the same time! All versions should be synchronized later today.
Of course, that's not our last word! We're working on more content and we're going to announce it as soon as we're ready! Stay tuned!

[ 2018-08-16 16:50:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello there, Merchants and Heroes! A few short weeks ago, we have released details for Roadmap of updates for Moonlighter. Today, we are ecstatic to announce that the very first one, the More Stock Update, is already available for all PC players — for free! The update will follow on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 over the coming weeks so be sure to follow all our channels to stay up to date!
(Click here to see it in bigger resolution)

▷ ▷ NEW FEATURES

100 new rooms!

We have added 100 more room patterns to the game! We’ve also introduced another brand new element to the mix: the puddles. They are going to poison Will in the forest, burn him in the Desert and electrify his hero-wannabe guts in the Tech dungeon. This new element has given us more possibilities to design new rooms. Poor Will... No worries, though - we have also added more rooms without puddles!

Special post-boss room

From now on, after defeating Boss in a dungeon - you can re-enter his chamber to find it crawling with monsters! This new room will provide an extra challenge - beat it quick enough to unlock all three chests. The chest timer will stop whenever you kill ALL the enemies. So, if you're a slowpoke - only one or two chests will be unlocked for you. Only true Heroes deserve the most handsome rewards!
About the chests themselves: each one is related to the kind of chest that you can find in each floor, so the first one will probably be a wooden chest or a silver chest. However, the second one will probably be a silver or a gold one! And - as you can already expect - the third one could even be the purple, magical one! This gives you different possibilities and motivation to go back to the dungeons that you've already finished. Oh, and by the way: those chests have more loot than the standard ones that you normally find in the dungeons!

New armor skins

Now, every time you decide (and you should!) to upgrade piece of armor it will have a different aesthetic associated with the dungeon, also the armor icon will be different. Here you can see the preview of Tier 1 armor skin:

New visual effects for enchanted weapons

We’ve added new particle FX for enchanted weapons that are triggering whenever you use the weapon. The FX has 3 different levels that are associated with each enchantment level. So, the more enchanted weapon - the cooler it becomes!
On top of that, we’ve added a little glint effect that it is applied to the icon of an enchanted weapon inside the inventory, so you can identify enchanted weapons easier.

New in-game tutorials

We have added these scrolls that will appear whenever you upgrade your shop and and some kind of new feature appears. We’ve prepared these new tutorials for:

• Decoration items (Shop level 2)
• Wealthy customers (Shop level 2)
• Quests (Shop level 3)
• Crystal showcases (Shop level 3)
• Shop Helper (Shop level 4)

Here’s an example of one of the tutorials:

DLC Backer Weapon

It is finally here: a special weapon we designed for Kickstarter backers (again: thank you SO much for supporting us back in the day)! It is a very unique Supporter Bow! What's very cool about it - is that Blacksmith can upgrade this weapon for you - so it won't become obsolete in the subsequent dungeons.

▷ ▷ QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

• Adding Skip button in starting cutscene
• Removed tourist bubble icon. Tourists and rich people work basically the same - so there is no point to differentiate them from the UI-standpoint.

▷ ▷ FIXES

General fixes:

• Soft lock upon starting a new game by overwriting previous save
• Inconsistency in Banker’s prices
• No longer possible to open Inventory during Intro cutscene
• Updated Chinese and Japanese translations
• FPS Drop after resuming game from an extended “soak” on pause menu
• Soft lock after finishing credits that were opened during gameplay
• Random crash after publisher screen
• No longer possible to open chest during “waking up” animation
• Exclamation mark remaining above NPC even after everything was “read”
• PS4 Touchpad button instead of Xbox “View” button on Map binding
• GUI was not refreshing upon swapping held items in the inventory
• Overlapping buttons in options when opened for the first time
• Cursor no longer goes back to the top of the list after crafting something at the Blacksmith
• It was not being possible to enchant items that were placed in bedside chest
• Credits texts overlapped with button prompts in Russian and German
• Issues with cursor in multi-paged bedside chest

Dungeon Fixes:

• Soft lock upon pausing game during Merchant Emblem tutorial
• Dungeon blocker after killing first monster mini-wave before the second appears in Enemy Waves Secret room
• No longer possible to open inventory between two stages of the final boss fight
• Crash on picking up an item that was dropped on death in Tutorial Dungeon
• Skeletons were looking intact upon returning to the room again

Shop oriented fixes:

• Notebook prices were not recorded if the item before patching to 1.6 was sold for a cheaper price than after the update
• Items from previous sale were displayed on sales summary if the game was quit before closing shop
• No longer possible to receive two quests requesting the same item

Hello there, Merchants and Heroes! We're bringing you a brand new patch (1.6) that we've called Time is Money - 'cause it is mostly focused on Shop and Village features. On top of that - we have also fixed a lot of other stuff so the overall experience should be even more enjoyable for everyone!

- - - MAJOR CHANGES - - -

[olist]

New Items' Popularity System! We've received a lot of feedback about game's economy and decided to adjust that. This is one of the biggest changes introduced to our game so far - 'cause it really alters the general feeling of Moonlighter's economy. Popularity system now highly affects when people decide buy or don't buy items. Better be prepared to actively swap those items so your shop can prosper! Also, from now on, Rich and Tourist type of customers can buy from any place, not only the crystal showcases. We've also modified the crystal showcases themselves: every item you put there is going to have an increased popularity level and it's going to be protected from those pesky thieves!

Last used price is now saved Ok, we admit: that was kind of annoying. Every time you were putting a price for a new item - it always went back to zero until you sold it. This was also frustrating with thieves, because you could forget the price you used. Now, if you don't know the good price, the system will remember the last price you've set. Yay!

Improved Horde Room We have improved the animations for this room and it works slightly different. Now, for every "round" inside the Horde Room you will have to select: open the chest or keep fighting? So you won't be able to open all the chests anymore. We believe it adds a little bit more risk and spices up the experience.

Buying multiple Potions A highly requested feature, indeed! Now you can buy up to 99 potions at the same time from the Witch![/olist]

- - - FIXES - - -

Dungeon Fixes

• Wanderer can no longer be spawned outside of the map
• Wanderer no longer gets stuck on obstacles
• Character is not going to get automatically teleported to next level of Dungeons right after all enemies in the room are killed
• Wanderer icon will not be visible during boss battle
• Tech Dungeon: Improved Death Generator behavior during fight
• Forest Dungeon: Game no longer freezes in one specific room
• No longer possible to exploit damage and attacks by switching weapons in the shop
• Items sent home from the Dungeon do not disappear upon exiting the game

Shop fixes

• Price of the second sold item was not updated in Notebook
• Items from previous sale will no longer be displayed on sales summary if the game was quit before closing the shop
• Fixed Soft lock on opening pause menu during tutorial

General fixes

• Soft lock upon interacting with the Witch
• Soft Lock upon crafting weapon/armor at the Blacksmith
• [OS X] Game crash when character is enveloped by Slime and character's health reaches 0
• It is no longer possible to get stuck inside Townboard or Witch's Wooden Hat
• No longer possible to control character during credits
• GUI does not appear during final cinematic
• Missing Space between Will and GUI sections in controls

We're still working on more updates, of course - and some really big and cool ones are heading your way! And folks, as always, don't hesitate to contact us - to report any issues and share cool ideas! We really appreciate your feedback! Thank you for your ongoing support! Digital Sun Games & 11 bit studios

Hello there, Heroes and Merchants! We believe that a good adventure always requires a little bit of old-fashioned planning and - obviously - a map! A map that will lead you to your goal. Is there a treasure waiting at the end of the road? Perhaps a princess or a prince? A golden armor for your horse? You do you, we won’t judge - but we have prepared something else and very special: Moonlighter Development Roadmap for 2018! Feedback that we have received from you so far has been - yes, pretty overwhelming - but also: beyond amazing! You guys have some crazy good ideas and guess what - we have some as well! And you know what always works best? Cooperation! So, we’ve collected your feedback and we have incorporated it into our development plan. Therefore, after many internal discussions, hours of research and drinking non-alcoholic beverages - we proudly present you Moonlighter Development Roadmap 2018:
Click here to see the full resolution Excited? So we share that feeling! Let us give you a little bit more information about each milestone from the Roadmap. Not everything, though - we like to keep some secrets. Oh, and this should go without saying - but all the updates that you see on this Roadmap are going to be totally free! Still waiting for the full confirmation - the Winter DLC is supposed to be paid DLC so we have to be careful with wording.

- - - ROADMAP DETAILS - - -

More Stock Update Our first update will add more than 50 new rooms distributed all over the four dungeons, making a total of almost 600 room patterns available! It’s also going to improve the look of armors and enchanted items, plus we plan to add some additional small help/tutorials to explain different shop upgrades better. Adventure Update New Game+ lets players start the whole game again with increased difficulty level. This update will also bring brand new Dimensional Weapons and Amulets, equipment based on some mysterious technology. Companion Update Feeling lonely in the Dungeons? Worry no more! Choose a companion and bring it with you on the adventure! Each companion will be a little bit different, offering various skill sets and looks. On top of that we’re going to introduce the Custom Game: a set of options that will allow you to to modify some game parameters to create diverse experiences. Trouble Update Put your skills to the test by battling some brand new mini bosses! We’re not going to tell you anything more about them - ‘cause we want those enemies to surprise (and brutally defeat) you during your adventures. Yup, we are mean like that sometimes. We are also going to add some new Item Effects - boosting game’s variety. This update should arrive somewhen around Halloween - so we’re hoping to bring you some spoOOoky stuff, too! That should cover the basics! However, as said before - we don’t want to spoil everything - so we can keep you on the edge of the chair while you wait for upcoming content! And yes - we have more updates planned for 2019!

Hello there, fellow Citizens of Rynoka! It's update time! You've sent us A LOT of feedback. This helped us not only with bug-elimination but also with improving the game itself - so we are very thankful for your help!

- - - GENERAL PATCH NOTES - - -

[olist]

Key binding improvements (some extra freedom and mouse button support). We might continue to improve this, let us know if this helps a little.

Bug fixing, as much as possible as soon as possible after our release. There will still be bugs but we will keep working, your feedback has been super helpful. Thank you!

We've added a special logging system to the game that will allow you to send us more information when something crazy happens, so we can find and smash those dirty bugs.

Other minor improvements (mostly following requests from you and/or our own ideas)[/olist]

- - - IMPROVEMENTS - - -

• Key binding now allows for independent binding of each key separating Will actions and GUI actions on both Keyboard, Mouse Buttons and Controllers
• There is a “default key binding” available
• Now sleep is activated by holding the action button

So - yeah. We've listened to your feedback and now you can totally redefine your controls the way you like it. No limitations - as we're all different and we like to play games our own way. However, we have a layout to propose, that you may want to give a try. This is a special layout loved by our QA department and here it is:

Will section

Main Attack - LMB (Left Mouse Button) Pendant Shortcut - F Secondary Attack - RMB (Righ Mouse Button) Inventory - MMB (Middle Mouse Button) Change Weapon - Q

GUI section

Interact - LMB (Left Mouse Button) Close - RMB (Righ Mouse Button) Back - MMB (Middle Mouse Button) Of course - that's a layout that we really like. Feel free to suggest yours, though! We'd love to hear your opinion - so for the next patch we could maybe include it as a preset - ready to be selected by other players!

- - - BUG FIXES - - -

As far as we know - we solved below issues completely - but if some of them still persist - please let us know.

Critical fixes:

• Solved several problems with closing the shop mechanics
• Problems closing the main menu after using pendant
• Several problems related to quests givers
• General memory leak related to something called “materials” that might be behind several other issues.
• Not dropping welding rods (achievement blocker)
• Issues related to buying upgrades for Will's shop and other shops

High priority fixes:

• Possible softlock when killing final boss
• Getting stuck inside the town board
• Soft lock when dying inside slime (nice one!)
• Clone Items exploit
• Soft lock in pre-menu when opening pause menu
• Forest: Player able to place spinning mushroom into obstacles
• Customer entering the shop when everyone else is leaving (it’s a free town!)
• Hawker’s items not decreasing the probability of thieves.
• Visual glitch after upgrading weapon.
• Vase still remaining as an obstacle after being destroyed
• Desert: Patrol Golem freezes in place upon re-entering room
• Golem Dungeon: Player can open inventory and spend money on pendant before tutorial
• Store opening/closing text switched in German
• Character disappearing after using the merchant emblem
• Font problem: no umlauts
• Chest in shop gets blocked when interacted directly before shop closing
• After entering Desert II weird things were happening (yeah, this is a vague one!)

• Soft lock upon placing teleport directly above secret rooms abyss

Avarage & low priority fixes:

That's all the changes and fixes we've managed to pack into this update. We hope they will improve your overall experience with the game. More updates are coming in the future.

During a long-passed archaeological excavation, a set of Gates were discovered. People quickly realized that these ancient passages lead to different realms and dimensions – providing brave and reckless adventurers with treasures beyond measure. Rynoka, a small commercial village, was founded near the excavation site providing refuge and a place for adventurers to sell their hard-earned riches. Moonlighter is an Action RPG with rogue-lite elements following the everyday routines of Will, an adventurous shopkeeper that dreams of becoming a hero.
