Hey everyone! Some of you are probably wondering why hasn't there been any recent update to the game (having into account the update frequency). We, the Dungeon Souls team and Lamina Studios team, have something to tell you. We're currently undergoing some internal changes in the company.

What Is This About?

Due to internal changes that are being made in the company, the development progress of Dungeon Souls has become quite slow (and is expected to keep like this for at least a month or two). As such, no updates will probably occur between the writing of this news and the 1-2 months time frame. We do know that some of you will be upset when reading this (since we have been reading the Steam discussions and emails sent about bugs, suggestions and feedback in general), but we can only apologize for the upcoming small hiatus in updates and ask you for your understanding and patience. We would also like to take this time to appreciate all ongoing support that you've shown for the game, as we feel that, no matter how many times we do express it, it is never enough! In all honesty, the player base is what is supporting the development of the game and the addition of new features (if it weren't for you guys and gals, we doubt we've had added any features or updates since 2017), so thank you for the support!

That's Great And All But What About The Issues And Features Of The Game That Still Need To Be Tackled?

As stated previously, we've been paying attention to the feedback you've been given, from issues to suggestions. Some of the most worrying aspects are as follows:

Items for those players who signed the sign board and helped with the game during its pre-release
Modding support fixes and functionalities
Controller support (bugs, adaptation to certain OS, removal of "clunky" feeling to the controls)
Local co-op (bugs related with local co-op functionality of the game)

In regard to the list above, these issues will be worked on and have not been forgotten. However, their development is currently slower than what would be desirable.

In Sum

We, as a team, decided it would be best to inform you of the small hiatus in updates. We do not have the intetion to say that the game won't be developed at all with this message. Our goal is simply to inform you, as a player, that the next update will take a long time before it arrives and to hang on and bear with us! Thank you for your patience and understanding in advance, From the Dungeon Souls and Lamina Studios team.

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This hotfix fixes some bugs reported for patch 1.1.

Mac Users

We are currently having issues exporting to Mac. This update is not available for Mac. Please be patient until we can fix them.

DSEditor

We have updated the modding editor. You can download via this link.

Bug Fixes & Feedback Changes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler] Game Bugs

Back From Vacations - Fixed a bug where Judgement level would not appear.
Fixed a bug where Herberk's Pendant would get replaced by Destroyer's Hammer.

Fixed a typo on the documentation of "getPlayerAttribute" and "setPlayerAttribute" in regards to the maximum hp.

Dungeon Souls v1.1 - Modding Support

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This update brings hero balancing to the game (with updated abilities), as well as modding support and re-make of voice lines!

Modding Support

We have added modding support for Dungeon Souls! Hurray! steamhappy Currently, the modding feature is limited to items only, but if players like it a lot and we start seeing quite the engagement, more features are to come! Here is a small roadmap of what we have planned for modding support, in case the community wants more of it:

Enemies
Pets
Arcane Forge
Dungeon Levels
Traps

Check out the Dungeon Souls Wikia for more information, as well as the game's Steam Workshop page!

DSEditor

You can download the Dungeon Souls Editor via this link

Game Elements

Redeemer Changed Redeemer's behaviour due to feedback concerning the amount of time available in a dungeon before Redeemer appeared. On easy and normal difficulties, redeemer will take twice the amount of time to appear (x2 multiplier). Also, the base amount of time it takes for the Redeemer to appear has been increased by over 60%. Voice Acting Changed both Skeleton King's and Slime Gargantulum's voice lines! We've also changed Slime Gargantulum's voice and revamped Skeleton King's!

Hero Balancing

We've taken a look into the feedback obtained from the hero balancing survey! From an analysis, we found out that every hero seems to be both over powered and under powered (suggesting that it depends on the player's play style). However, there were some heroes who were more "unfairly" under powered when compared with other heroes. We also observed general feedback in regard to abilities and cooldowns. As such, here is our hero balancing update! We hope you guys like it! steamhappy

Changed passive health from 75% to 50%.

Necromancer

Blood for Attack Now adds 50+(30 per skill level)% physical damage and 50+(10 per skill level)% magic damage, but consumes 10+(5 per skill level)% health per basic attack and reduces health regen by 75%

NightBlade

Thick Armour Grants 50+(10 per skill level) defense for 3 seconds, during which nightblade starts expelling energy. After the 3 seconds, thick armour explodes, dealing 120+(20 per skill level)% physical and 120(+20 per skill level)% magical damage to nearby enemies. Weapon Switch Changed the effect so that the first 2+(2 per skill level) strikes deal the extra damage.

Dungeon Souls v1.0.5.5

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This small update brings some patches to the game and addresses a request we did to the community.

Game Elements

Redeemer

Changed Redeemer's summon behaviour. Now, the redeemer will appear after a certain amount of time has passed (more than enough to complete the level), regardless of the number of activated marks. It will also appear after activating the final mark. This change derived from a review requested by players, since the Redeemer's purpose in the game wasn't obvious (since you could grind on a level for ever, as long as the last mark remained unactive). Special thanks to Steam user Einko for his suggestion on the matter!

Items

Sign Board A little bit of a more personal note here: about a year ago, we requested players that helped with the game's alpha and beta stages to sign a Sign Board, since we had a surprise stored. However, we took a long time to reply to this surprise (even though the original intent never changed, which was personal custom items named after the players) and we'd like to apologize for the time it has taken! In the next patches, ALL people that signed the board up until now will get an item in the game named after them. We will continue doing and extend this rewarding behaviour to any players we see are worthy of it, being dependent on factors such as their participation in the game, engagement with the community and overall support for the game! steamhappy Some of the items have descriptions and effects determined by us. However, if any of the item's author does not like its item's effect, please email us so that we change it accordingly steamhappy And now, here follows the first batch of items: (NEW)Brontolo's Sight Item Effect: +40% Accuracy. Can see enemies in entire room. Item Class: Rare Item Stacks: 1 Steam User: Brontolo (NEW)SeekNDestroy Missile Item Effect: On attack, 20/30/40% chance to launch a missile that deals 40/60/80 damage. Item Class: Rare Item Stacks: 3 Steam User: SeekNDestroy (NEW)Daniel Novak (DaxThorn)'s Gem Item Effect: +10/15% experience gained Item Class: Rare Item Stacks: 2 Steam User: DaxThorn (NEW)Xgpmcnp Cookie Totem Item Effect:Transforms projectiles into cookies. +2 mixed damage. Item Class: Uncommon Item Stacks: 1 Steam User: Xgpmcnp (NEW)Austinlb90's Amber Item Effect: +8/10/12 mixed defense. Item Class: Uncommon Item Stacks: 3 Steam User: Austinlb90

Bug Fixes & Feedback Changes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Bugs

Fixed a bug where the ending cutscenes were being displayed without having freed all heroes.
IMPORTANT: Added a temporary fix mechanism to the Out-Of-Map issue. Now, when out of bounds, if the player exceeds a square area around the map, the player will be teleported back to the dungeon's door.
IMPORTANT: Fixed a bug, in internal tests, where difficulty would not unlock. This means that we could no longer reproduce the bug and, players who were contacted by us with this issue no longer could as well. However, we're still not 100% sure if it's fixed. If you experience this bug, despite the fix, please email us at laminastudios@gmail.com or diogo.braga@laminastudios.com so we can enter in contact with you.
Fixed a bug where bane scepter would always crash upon use.
Fixed a bug where Power weapons could add negative bonus damage.
Fixed a bug where background audio music would fail to change with the slider's value
Fixed a bug where the inventory would disappear with the tutorial's message.
Fixed a bug where the player could take damage during cutscenes.
Fixed a bug where [spoiler]the enemies on the core would persist after the core's stabilization.[/spoiler]

Feedback Changes

Changed quick-cast so it automatically casts the ability, instead of first shifting to the desired ability and, after a second press, casting it.
Implemented a suggestion related to the arcane forge UI described in this post! Thanks Steam user KERBAL BASS
Reduced health regeneration passive max value from 3 health per second to 2 health per second (changes all values below it, accordingly)

Bug Fixes & Feedback Changes

Important Notice - Linux Users

We've changed a configuration on Steam that should enable users to use Steam functionalities. Please let us know if achievements and cloud saving are working! Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Fixed a bug where Rockstone Mountain was loopable.
Fixed a bug where the entire Judgement floor would be filled with gold.
Fixed the bug reported by Banana Crayons
Fixed a rare bug where the game could crash when changing difficulties.
Fixed a bug where the game would start in a full, blackscreen if not using compatibility mode. Note: from our testings, the issue seems fixed. If you experienced this in the past, please let us know if you still experience it or not.
Fixed a bug where gold coins would not be displayed during local co-op.
Fixed a bug where the second player could not allocate stat points during local co-op. Thanks to Steam user Anakya for reporting this and many more issues related with local co-op!
(Suggestion Implementation)Changed bloodletting sword to deplete 9 hp every second (from 3 hp). Thanks to Steam user fewRy for the feedback!
(Suggestion Implementation)Changed traps so they now deal a percentage of health as damage, instead of flat damage, with minimum damage cap. The higher the difficulty, the higher the percentage of health taken.
Normalized trap damage amount and types (i.e.: boulders no longer deal magic damage, instead deal physical damage, etc.).

]

Known Issues

In some systems (both operative system and hardware components), the game has severe lags spikes for brief periods of time. This usually has to do with malfunctioning input devices, but a fix is being developed. If this occurs to you, please send an email to laminastudios@gmail.com with the operative system you have and hardware, as well as any relevant information (the time you were playing at and what were you doing).
Currently, to some players, Steam functionalities are not working under Linux systems, as well as a few in-game functionalities (such as minimap). We are working into resolving this issue.
During co-op, heroes have a different currency than the one specified on the HUD, resulting in some characters being able to buy certain items that the other player can't (due to gold spent). This will be fixed in a future patch.

Ability Level Up Changed the level up overlay of abilities so that cooldown is no longer blocked. Thanks to Steam user Zior for the feedback! Gamepad Deadzone Axis We've added a new option under "Gamepad Settings" that enables the player to customize the global deadzone value for the joysticks of gamepads. The higher the value, the higher the displacement of the joystick needs to be for the game to recognize that the joystick has moved.

Arcane Forge

Dungeon Souls v1.0.5 - Rockstone Mountain Power Core Quickfix

BUG FIXES

This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the current version.

A crash when displaying ending screens
And teleporter on the end not allowing to pick items

[ 2017-11-23 14:50:19 CET ] [ Original post ]

Dungeon Souls v1.0.5 - New Arenas: Rockstone Mountain Power Core

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This patch brings permanent content for the game.

Game Elements

Areas

(NEW)Core

[spoiler]The Core is a new secret map where the Dungeon Souls' core resides. The teleporter to access this level has a chance of appearing at the last dungeon of the game (The End). Its appearance is caused by an instability on the Core. Enemies in this map are specially hard and the boss can only be beaten by picking up Stabilizing Agents. Despite this, the rewards are epic - a new set of extremely powerful weapons.[/spoiler] Be careful though - this map is especially hard! Access: [spoiler] On "The End", a teleporter has a chance of spawning. [/spoiler] Boss Battle: [spoiler] The player has to beat enemies that are spawned by the Core until a Stabilizing Agent is dropped. When picked up, it will damage the Core. [/spoiler] Rewards: Power Weapon recipes (these recipes can only be picked on this area)

(NEW) Rockstone Mountain

[spoiler] Rockstone Mountain is a new secret map, taking the player to a very high place! Even though the area is filled with dangerous enemies, there is no boss at sight. However, there is a rather peculiar object on the boss' level instead... [/spoiler] Be careful though - this map is hard! Access: [spoiler] The Strange Rock is the key to teleport the player. It spawns on The Judgement's Level. The player must hold one of the following items: Compass, Magnet, Spiked Shoes, Butterfly Wings [/spoiler] Boss Battle: [spoiler] There is no boss battle at this stage. Instead, there is a rather peculiar statue. [spoiler] Triggering the statue causes a small instability on the Dungeon's Core. [spoiler] The instability increases the chances of the Core's teleporter to spawn on the End level. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] Rewards: Ingredients.

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Fixed a bug with event portals where the player would get teleported when picking an item.
Fixed a bug where the Judgement's death animation could still crash the game on rare moments.
Fixed a bug where the character speed was too high (the game should now limit it to 2.5 units per second)
Fixed quicksave portal's activation range as to make it easier to save.
Fixed a graphical issue where the gamepad connection information would overlay during arcane forge and armoury. Now this information only appears on the main menu
Changed the system so that gamepad is disabled by default, as not to confuse new comming players (thanks to Steam user Guidsmaster for the suggestion!)
Fixed a bug where the backup system was saving recipe and item changes, but only locally (now correctly transfers to Steam Cloud).
Fixed a bug where the game would falsly recognize a crash after an ending cutscene was displayed.
Changed the ending cutscene system so that it explains to the player they've returned to the main menu due to completing part of the story.
Fixed a bug where lanterns would appear behind walls (thanks to Steam user Zior for reporting this and many other bugs!)
Fixed a bug where Steam screenshots were not working as intended (thanks to Steam user Zior for reporting this and many other bugs!)

Known Issues

In some systems (both operative system and hardware components), the game has severe lags spikes for brief periods of time. This usually has to do with malfunctioning input devices, but a fix is being developed. If this occurs to you, please send an email to laminastudios@gmail.com with the operative system you have and hardware, as well as any relevant information (the time you were playing at and what were you doing).
Currently, Steam functionalities are not working under Linux systems. We are working into resolving this issue.
Due to the nature of gamepads, there are controllers whose sensitivity is too high to play with. We are working on a way for player to customize the sensitivity and deadzone axis.
When an ability can be leveled up, it will block the cooldown of the ability. We are trying new UI designs in order to improve this.
Currently, it is not possible to unequip items in arcane forge. We will implement this feature in a short future patch.
The Razer Event's Chroma Sword recipe does not seem to appear to some players. This is currently being fixed and the event will be launched in the future to compensate for this issue. Also, players who were able to obtain all recipes but the Chroma Sword will automatically have it in their inventory after the fix.

Known Issues

In some systems (both operative system and hardware components), the game has severe lags spikes for brief periods of time. This usually has to do with malfunctioning input devices, but a fix is being developed. If this occurs to you, please send an email to laminastudios@gmail.com with the operative system you have and hardware, as well as any relevant information (the time you were playing at and what were you doing).

Dungeon Souls v1.0.4 - HOTFIX

SCOPE

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This maintenance patch fixes several bugs found and reported by players.

GAMEPAD SUPPORT

(BETA) Optimization & AI

Several reviews have pointed out that the controller scheme, no matter what it was, would feel a bit uncomfortable at playing, rendering the option useless. As such, we created an aimbot system with the following functionalities:

Auto Aim Assist: The AI will automatically target nearby enemies, if the player is not using the controller's aim stick.
Auto Direction: The AI will automatically target a position slightly in front of the character's direction. This function has the objective to minimize the aim-stick movement for casual interactions.

Please let us know if we should keep this feature in and/or improve it!

BUG FIXES

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Fixed a bug where soul orbs would act weirdly and possibly crash the game.
Fixed an optimization bug where invisible walls would spawn and stop the player from completing a level.
Fixed several graphical issues.
Increase FPS count, on average, by 20 FPS.
Fixed a bug where certain quicksave stats were not being kept.
Fixed a bug where the compass would stop working after a quickload.
Quicksave no longer closes the game. Instead, brings the player to the main menu.
Fixed a major bug in local-coop where Xbox controllers or other gamepads would not work as intended.
Fixed a bug where Xbox controllers or other gamepads would show an odd behaviour in single player.
Fixed a bug in local coop that would display the incorrect graphical assets on character select.
Fixed a bug where the game would crash if the map frame was enabled.
Fixed a bug that would cause the game to crash after several restarts.
Fixed a bug where the brawler and engineer would not get reset when attempting to "Reset Data".
Changed the "Reset Data" so that the story-made actions are also reset.

SPECIAL THANKS

A big special thanks to Steam user brontolo2001 for helping find bugs with the game!

DEVELOPER NOTE

We'd like to talk with you about the last few months of progression in Dungeon Souls. As you may have noticed, there weren't any significant updates in the past months and the game looked a bit "neglected" or even discontinued. We do apologize for this kind of feeling we let off. Despite the fact that content wise the progress was slow, we've been doing several analysis of the community's reviews and taking time to fix the bugs and issues with the game. We've also taken time to re-structure our QA process so that you don't have to suffer with so many bugs (since it really doesn't seem professional and I believe we can all agree on that). We do want you to know that we do care a lot about your reviews of the game and we read and evaluate every single one. We'd also like to thank those of you that were understanding of the situation. Apart from the above, we can promise that we have quite a lot of content updates planned until the end of the year, already on the making!

MOST RECENT FIXES

We have fixed the following issues found in the last 24h:

Fixed a bug where Nightblade could get negative armour
Fixed a bug where Linux would start in fullscreen, but the game would be stuck on the bottom left corner with a small screen size.
Fixed a bug where passive bonus weren't being correctly applied.
Fixed a bug where changing options and starting the game could crash for some users.

REMINDER

Please check if the game now works for you. If not, please head over to the bugs and issues in the forum. Let us know what's going on and what can we do to replicate your problem.

Dungeon Souls v.1.0.2 - Love Temple

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This patch version fixes a few bugs with steam related services, as well as some exploits of the game.

Game Elements

Events

(NEW) Valentine's

A new stage was added to celebrate valentine's day! Help the cupids of the Love Temple get rid of the stone cold Gargoyles! Objective: Save as many cupids as possible. The cupids spawn alongsided with the gargoyles whenever you touch a mark. The gargoyles are strong, so be prepared to take them down quickly! Reward: For each cupid saved, there will be an uncommon item waiting for you at the door. There's a high chance of one of those items being a rare item! Accessibility: You can access the Love Temple via the pink teleporter. The pink teleporter has a chance of appearing near the portal in the Cathedral area. It will not spawn in a boss room. Duration: The event lasts from 14th of February to the 20th of February!

Story

Added new story elements to the game!
(NEW)Final Cutscenes: added a final ending cutscene for each possible ending.
Updated soundtrack of the game.

Judgement

(NEW)Death Animation: Added an unskipable cutscene when the first phase of the Judgement ends. The cutscene shows the summoning of the second phase. Added a beam of light whenever a boss is summoned to aid judgement.

GUI

Changed the update behaviour of the hero GUI's health bar. The bar now refreshes faster when the player loses hp, proportional to the amount of health lost.

Life Steal

Now only applies to damage dealt by a hero. Still heals all heroes.

Optimization

Decreased the base amount of memory (RAM) usage from 580-600MB to 250-300MB, at a cost of a bit more of the cpu. However, the cpu used should be very spontaneous. Decreased the size of the game file to around 90MB.

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Lifesteal pop up now shows "stolen" instead of "syphoned" and now displays the amount of health recovered.

Fixed a bug where the Skeleton King would cut the audio at "The End" level.

Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon defeating the Soul Guardian if certain requirements were met for the Soul Orb.
Fixed the Golden Shelf's range to match the tooltip range.
Fixed a bug where a memory leak would occur in the game, causing an "Out of Memory!" fatal error to appear.
Fixed a bug where cloud saving wasn't working properly.
Fixed a bug where the Skeleton King achievement was being given without the requirements being met.
Baker Achievement now no longer needs story-only recipes to be completed. This means recipes like "Murderer Ring" are not needed to get the achivement.
Fixed a bug where allied units (such as the necromancer's skeletons and the engineer's spiders) were not being damaged.

Dungeon Souls Launch (Update #16)

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 16 introduces Local Co-op, as well as minor balance changes, graphical updates and story implementation. Steam cards and achievements are now enabled. The patch also adds a few bug fixes along the way. The minor balance attempts to make the experience of playing melee heroes a bit easier, by increasing their base health.

Game Elements

Heroes

Balance

Melee Heroes: -Increased base health by 20. This initial health boost, alongsided with the passives, should make melee heroes easier to play (allowing one or two more hits in each level).

Credits

-Updated credits to reflect the new

(NEW) Local Co-op

Dungeon Souls can now be played with up to two players, on a local computer!

Rules:

On the Local Co-op game mode, there are several rules that are applied to the standard way of playing the game. They are as follows:

The local co-op only supports 2 players playing at the same time. Player 1 must use the keyboard. Player 2 can attach any gamepad to play.
Every enemy's stats are increased by 1.75x their original value. This multiplier is applied after the difficulty multiplier. This makes the game remain challenging, even in local co-op.
Players have shared inventory. This means that items picked by one player will also benefit the other player's stats.
Players have shared passives. This means the passives upgraded on the single player run will also affect the local co-op run.
The screen is split in half and each player has their own screen to play. This means that there are two cursors for each screen. The cursor's color will depend on the player's hero color.
If one player dies, their screen will turn black and display the "Dead" message. If, however, the other player can reach a boss stage, all players get revived.
Arcane Forge appear beside Player 1.
The game's story elements will only have in account Player 1.
Only one stats upgrade menu can be opened at a time.
Only one inventory menu can be opened at a time.

These rules will be available in-game on an upcoming patch.

Art Assets

The End

All art assets of "The End" dungeon have been updated to match the game's current look-and-feel.

Gameplay Mechanics

The End

(REMOVED)Auto-Teleport Killing all enemies in "The End" will no longer cause a 3 second timer to teleport you to the center of the room. (NEW)Obelisk Teleporter After defeating every enemy on each stage, an obelisk will appear beside the player. This obelisk allows the player to teleport to the room's portal.

Story Elements

[spoiler] (NEW)Soul Orb Collection Heroes can now collect their respective Soul Orbs from the Soul Guardian. Each player has its own Soul Orb (indicated by the pulsating color of the hero, as well as displayed on the item's tooltip). If the hero manages to defeat Selene with a Soul Orb, the Soul Orb's hero will get resurrected. Each hero can only collect up to 3 Soul Orbs per game. This mechanic is the way of beating the game. End-game scenes will be available on an upcoming patch! [/spoiler]

Steam Cards and Achievements

Steam Cards, Badges and Achievements have been added! There are 10 available achievements to collect (although, in this patch, only 9 can be unlocked).

Items

No changes to state. If you want to suggest more items, please visit the item suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Enemies

Selene

Added two more attack patterns to spice up the battle
Added more torches to the boss battle room to make it easier to spot attacks.
Reduced base health from 15 000 health to 10 000 health.
Updated art assets.

If you want to suggest more enemies, please visit the enemy suggestion thread and share your ideas! -

Arcane Forge

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler]

Can You Shush For A Second? - Fixed a bug where boss voice lines could repeat indefinitely. Now, each boss voice line has the minimum duration of 1 second. This means that another voice line can only be played once the previous voice line has played for 1 second.
No More Nausea Please! - Fixed a bug where moving the cursor whilst viewing the player's inventory would cause the background to move. This contrast in static-movement could cause nauseous effects.
Fixed a bug where Gamepad Reticule Aid could create undesired behaviour. The system was changed to behave more passively and only if it detects the player needs aid with aiming.
Heavily increased FPS to account for Local Co-op. NOTE: The FPS increase between each patch should now reach a halt, as most of the optimization has been completed. If you still have trouble running the game, please refer to the Contact Information on the game's Credits for further assistance.

Known Issues

Considerations In Up-Comming Patches

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section describes the suggestion that are being taken into account during the next patches. It does not mean that they will be implemented fully (or even at all). However, it does mean that we liked the idea and will try to implement it! :)[/spoiler] -A GUI that displays buffs/debuffs and extra information about what's going on in the game. Thanks to Steam user Herbrek and Xerxes Asuras for the suggestion! -Quick save and quick load feature. Thanks to Steam user kierasam for the suggestion! -Multiplayer functionality. This feature is an end-development feature but we intend to make it happen! -A page on the main menu that allows you to view all the items you obtained during previous runs, as well as their descriptions.

Dungeon Souls Update #15.2

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 15.2 introduces several bug fixes. It also introduces a revamped passive system, as well as some minor refinements to the User Interface.

Game Elements

Passives

Revamped The passives mechanism has been changed. Previously, the passives bonuses would only apply at the starting stats of the hero. Here follow the changes: -When the maximum health, attack damage, magical damage, magical resist or defense stats increase, the passive bonus is also applied. -Speed passive will only be based off of the hero's initial speed. -Critical effect adds to the hero's critical effect. -Hp regen is now based off of a flat amount, instead of the player's percentage health. -(CHANGED)Greed now increases all gold gained by 4% per level, up to a total of 40% increase. Thanks to Steam user Dynatriel for the suggestion!

User Interface

-Changed the "Press [Tab]" key text to "[Tab] to assign stats". -The stats level up text indicator now blinks to call the player's attention. -The skill-up icons now glow to call the player's attention. -The walls on the mini-map are now represented by solid-white blocks instead of wireframe squares. -The hero emits small particles when holding an Angel Feather.

Flavour Text

-Added flavour text option for Speed Up -Added flavour text option for Experience -Added flavour text for damage dealt to enemies

Gameplay

(NEW)Gamepad Reticule Aid: when using a gamepad, the aiming reticule will go along with the player's movement when the right stick is on rest. This should make it easier to attack incoming enemies. Thanks to a Steam user who suggested this idea! Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find your account, but you shall not be unrecognized!

Items

We've added a story-sensitive item, hence the spoiler! [spoiler] (NEW)Murderer's Ring Item Effect: Adds +10 to physical damage, magic damage, magic resist and defense. Every 5 seconds, spawns lasers to damage nearby enemies. Item Class: Equipable (Evil) Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user Dynatriel for suggesting that the players who kill the owl should also be rewarded (evily)! [/spoiler] If you want to suggest more items, please visit the item suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Enemies

Arcane Forge

Ingredients

[spoiler] (NEW)Wizard Remenant - Used to craft Murderer's Ring. (NEW)Owl Remenants - Used to craft Murderer's Ring. [/spoiler]

Recipes

[spoiler] (NEW)Murderer's Ring Recipe Recipe Rarity: Evil. [/spoiler]

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler] -Fixed a bug where Selene would stop attacking if the player stood at a great distance. -Fixed a bug where Angel Feather would not get picked up, failing to revive the player. -Fixed a bug where Arcane Forge ingredients were not getting consumed if their stack count was 1. -Fixed a bug where you could use activable items during cutscenes. -Fixed a bug where Skeleton King would sometimes cause the game to crash. -Fixed a bug where disabling the critical flavour text would not really disable it. -Fixed a bug where pressing the Q key would cause the game to take a screenshot and make it lag. This key is now configurable in the controls menu. -Fixed a bug where Vital Armour would not heal you. -Fixed a bug where Selene's Knives could cause the game to crash under certain conditions. -Increased FPS by a small amount.

Known Issues

Here follows a list of all the known issues and/or suggestions that we've taken a look into but were unable to fix for this patch. Hopefully, this list gets shorter with each patch :) Known Issues -Due to the way the engineer behaves, his spider are dealing more damage than anticipated (each spider is dealing the displayed tooltip damage). We'll try to balance this issue out. -Some dungeons can spawn without any marks. We have special plans for this situation ;) -A new mechanic to cap the movement speed of heroes is needed, due to some of them still going sonic-like when using certain movement speed objects. -The game has performance issues on some areas.

Dungeon Souls Update #15

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 15 introduces the final boss area where the player will fight with Selene. We've also tweaked arcane forge's user interface and added new features to it.

Game Elements

(NEW) Life steal mechanism has changed. It now displays a text informing how much the player has healed with the enemy's damage. Also, life steal will benefit from ALL damage dealt to an enemy, whether it was from the player or not.

Areas

(NEW)The End A new area has been added! "The End" is the game's final area and the area where you get to fight Selene, the Dungeon Master. This area is currently a Work In Progress (W.I.P.) and as such, it may have a few bugs and missing art assets. However, it should be playable and enjoyable too! It is still missing final cutscenes, but those will come later ːsteamhappyː Unlike other areas, this area does not randomly generate itself. It is a final challenge for the player and will always have the same shape and monsters in it.

UI

We've changed the way currency is drawn in the game. Every currency drawn will now have marks seperating each three pairs of digits. For example, the number 123456 will be drawn as 123.456

Items

(NEW)Bloodletting Sword Item Effect: Constantly drains 3 hp every second, but gives 100% life steal. Item Class: Cursed Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user TBYK101 for the item suggestion!

Item Class: Uncommon Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user Speggi for the item suggestion!

Item Class: Equipable Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user Ninby for their participation on the forums and the game. This is our way of thanking you! (and we're sorry we couldn't find your steam profile) (NEW)Herberk's Pendant Item Effect: Has a 50% chance of redirecting incoming enemy projectiles. This effect occurs every second.

If you want to suggest more enemies, please visit the enemy suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Arcane Forge

The arcane forge is a place where you can forge items and weapons to use in future runs for your heroes.

Whenever an item reaches full stack, it will drop ingredients to be used on the arcane forge! Thanks to everyone who contributed, specially to Steam user Herbrek for the suggestion! (NEW)UI Re-vamp We've changed the arcane forge's User Interface and made it a bit more intuitive. It now has two sections: armory and crafting. Please tell us if you like this UI!

(NEW)Magic Core - Used to craft Herberk's Pendant. (NEW)Ninby's Essence/b] - Used to craft Ninby's Grace. (NEW)Herberk's Jewel - Used to craft Herberk's Pendant.

Several bugs were fixed and the Redeemer's behavior has changed to a more aggressive state.

Game Elements

Tutorial

Improved the tutorial section so that it now has small objectives on each tutorial level. This should help new players to understand the game a bit better!

Bosses

Lady Laine

Now has voice lines and audio!

Heroes

Thief

Invisibility -Updated tooltip to display that each basic attack lowers the duration by 0.5 seconds.

Brawler

Brawling Time -Updated tooltip to display that each attack deals % damage.

Enemies

Redeemer (NEW)Base-line behaviour of Redeemer has been changed. It now has a more aggressive behaviour (rushing towards the player as soon as he appears).

WARNING: These attack patterns are not fair and are meant to almost insta-kill you :) NOTE: We know we haven't been implementing any new enemies, but we are keeping a close look at the suggestions! We're going to implement a few in the future, so don't worry if you think your suggestion isn't being read - we can assure you it is!

Dungeon Souls Update #14.1

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 14.1 brings some new content, as well as changes to previous mechanics of the game. We intend to start making the game less repetitive without changing too much of the core of the game. We'll keep doing these changes and see if you guys like it or not. We would also like to apologize for the delay of this patch (since it should have been out last week)! ːsteamsadː

Game Elements

(NEW)Item Stacking Information Added a new mechanism that tells you the amount of stacks that an item has when viewing that item's description. Thanks to Steam user Zior for the suggestion!

Thanks to Steam users QwiK and Zior for the suggestion! Spike Traps Spikes traps now have a delayed activation speed when near other spike traps. (NEW)Notification System Added a notification system where the player can get notified of certain events. For example, whenever you unlock a character, you'll get a notification of that event! Fire Traps Now only fire when the player is within range (i.e.: when they appear on the player's screen). Game Resolution Changed from full scaling back to aspect ratio. Marks Now marks spawn random sets of monsters instead of a fixed type. For example, a mark can now spawn 6 bats and 2 ghosts when activated, instead of 8 bats. We're doing this to change a bit of the "repetitiveness" of the game. Tell us what you think of this in the comments or in the forums! :happysteam: Boulder Traps Now display "Watch out!" text instead of "Click!" text when activated. Hopefully, this helps newcommers to dodge it!

Items

(NEW)Blind Blade A cursed reapier like blade. Item Effect: When striking an enemy, provides a 50% chance to deal double damage or no damage at all. Item Class: Cursed Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user DeCypher for the item suggestion! (NEW)Blizzard Cape Item Effect: Creates a strong blizzard surrounding the player.

It only drops from ghosts. -(NEW)Bone Added a new ingredient to the arcane forge! It only drops from skeletal enemies (including the boss). -(NEW)A Tiny Bit Enhanced Arcane forge now displays the key bindings you need to press to navigate through the menus.

Known Issues

Here follows a list of all the known issues and/or suggestions that we've taken a look into but were unable to fix for this patch. Hopefully, this list gets shorter with each patch :) Known Issues -Due to the way the engineer behaves, his spider are dealing more damage than anticipated (each spider is dealing the displayed tooltip damage). We'll try to balance this issue out. -The strange tree on the ice level seems to be blocking some players' path.

General

Dungeon Souls Update #13.4

READ THESE UPDATES! GAME SAVES MAY BE AFFECTED!

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 13.4 brings some balancing and bug fixes. Arcane forge's item indexing has been replaced and has new recipes. You can now also grind for materials more easilly. The overvall difficulty was increased with each loop, however and some balancing changes were added. New story elements were added.

Game Elements

Save File

WARNING! READ CAREFULLY: Because of the way art assets are handled in the game engine, the indexing in arcane forge was going off (resulting in some corrupt weapons). To fix this, we changed the indexing of arcane forge, but as a result, we had to clear the its weapons and items, so you will lose all crafted weapons. We're truly sorry for any incovenience that this might cause. You should receive a message when starting the game that states it will apply the fix.

General

Changed the judgement level's background music. Let's see you cry - Increased the power increase between each loop for enemies by A LOT from difficulty Normal to Nightmare, therefor increasing the difficulty between each loop. Gimme That Sweet Loot! - Some props now have a chance to drop materials when destroyed. Move Please - Game window now has borders so that you can relocate the game window. Are you sure? - Quick Restart now asks for confirmation before quick-restarting. Are you sure? - Returning to the Main Menu now asks for confirmation before returning.

Stats

Renamed the stat SPD(speed) to MSP(movement speed), for clarification purposes. Thanks to Steam user Ninby for the suggestion!

Heroes

Dungeon Souls Update #13

READ THESE UPDATES! GAME SAVES MAY BE AFFECTED!

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 13.3 has a lot of changes to inner gameplay elements. Arcane forge has been added to the game, as well as two new heroes. Some other story elements were added, as well as new background music for certain levels.

Game Elements

Save File

WARNING! READ CAREFULLY: Because of the addition of the new heroes, the save-file configuration had to be replaced. However, an update-mechanism was added. This mechanism should automatically detect that your save file is an older version (if it is the case) and update it, without resetting any progress. A message should appear saying that the save file was updated. IF the message does not appear, either you are playing a fresh version of the game, or your save file might be corrupted.

Heroes

-(NEW)Brawler: The brawler is a fast-paced class that excels in dealing damage around himself and quickly striking his foes! You can unlock him by defeating over 500 enemies in game! You can also check his abilities in the character select preview. -(NEW)Engineer: The engineer is a slow-paced, heavy damage-dealer hero that uses his spider bots and mine fields to blow up foes! You can unlock him by finding the "Rockets!" item. You can also check his abilities in the character select preview. -Necromancer: Changed the look of the necromancer's skeletons so that they are distinguishable from enemy skeletons. -Nightblade: Fixed a bug where nightblade's first ability was dealing more damage than intended.

Items

-Item Stacking (BETA MECHANISM): Item stacking now has a chance to give materials for arcane forge, as well as gold and experience! -(NEW CLASS)Recipes A new class of items were added called "Recipe". These are used to forge items in the arcane forge. If you want to suggest more items, please visit the item suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Enemies

If you want to suggest more enemies, please visit the enemy suggestion thread and share your ideas! -(NEW)Arcane Forge The arcane forge is a place where you can forge items and weapons to use in future runs for your heroes. You do so by using recipes collected in the Forbidden Library (random drop from monsters) and by collecting materials from your runs. Whenever an item reaches full stack, it will drop ingredients to be used on the arcane forge! Thanks to everyone who contributed, specially to Steam user Herbrek for the suggestion! -(NEW)Fire Sword Recipe A recipe to craft a fire sword that gives a chance of burning enemies. -(NEW)Fire Axe Recipe A recipe to craft a fire axe that gives a chance of burning enemies. -(NEW)Fire Bow Recipe A recipe to craft a fire biw that gives a chance of burning enemies. -(NEW)Fire Scepter Recipe A recipe to craft a fire scepter that gives a chance of burning enemies. -(NEW)Fire Staff Recipe A recipe to craft a fire staff that gives a chance of burning enemies. -(NEW)Fire Dagger Recipe A recipe to craft a fire dagger that gives a chance of burning enemies.

Bug Fixes

All bosses spawning on judgement's boss fight now display a mini-health bar above them. -REPEAT OR NOT REPEAT:Fixed a bug where potions were not transforming into gold/experience correctly. -Several minor bug-fixes were applied.

Dungeon Souls Update #12.7

NOTE [spoiler]We're trying a new layout for the patch notes. Tell us if you like it![/spoiler]

Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Several changes were made in patch 12.7. We redesigned the controller layout so that the player no longer feels like they are fighting the layout scheme, instead of playing the game. We've also included some more story elements and fixed several bugs, as well as an FPS increase.

Game Elements

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the latest changes to any game elements, such as items, enemies, controls, menus and much more![/spoiler]

Heroes

Reduced stat points gained from neophyte progress. Now can only gain up to 2 more stat points. For clarification purposes, the stat point increase is as follows: -If the neophyte level is lower than 2 you gain 1 stat point, elsewise you gain 2. -Per 10 levels, you gain 1 extra stat point. This bonus caps at 2.

Items

-Bane Scepter Now gives 3 stat points and 2 skill points in exchange for 25% of maximum hp. -(NEW)Vital Armor When hit, it has a chance of either healing the incoming damage or doubling the incoming damage. Item Class: Cursed -(NEW)Angel Feather Brings you back to life if you die, getting consumed in the process. Item Effect: Revives the player with 30% of maximum hp. Item Stacking: 8 (adds 10% to the effect, up to 100% of maximum hp) Item Class: Rare Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user Herbrek for the item suggestion! If you want to suggest more items, please visit the item suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Enemies

-(NEW)Explosive Slime Acts like a normal slime, having a reddish color with black spots, but when it gets close to the player, it detonates, with a 1.5 second detonation timer, and explodes. Spawning Area: Slime Dungeon HP: 15 Special Thanks: Thanks to Steam user Herbrek for the enemy suggestion! If you want to suggest more enemies, please visit the enemy suggestion thread and share your ideas!

Gamepad Layout

The previous gamepad layout posed quite a few problems that were creating frustrations when playing the game. The fact that you needed to use the gamepad as a cursor would make most reactions really slow and generally unintuitive. With this layout, we hope that these problems are gone for good! Better Aiming:Now the right stick automatically assigns the direction that the hero's weapon is facing towards. (NEW)Skill Level Up:A new menu was created in order to make it easier for gamepad players to level up their skills (cursor is no longer needed). To cycle between abilities, you can use the right stick. To upgrade an ability, use the accept button. Stat Increase:No longer uses cursor to level up stats. Instead, you can use the right stick to move up and down between stat upgrades. Inventory:You can now use the right stick to check each item's description and effects. Right Stick Lock:When either the skills, stats or inventory menu are opened, the right stick does not let the player aim. This is so that you can interact with the menus without background movement of the camera. (NEW)Skill Menu Button:Added a new configurable button to open/close the skill menu button.

Extra Notes

FPS

The average FPS in-game (meaning, the fps that you have when in the dungeon) has been increased. For a comparison, in the last patch the average fps on the testing computer ranged from 60-90, where in some cases it would go below 60 and in others it would reach 100. Now, it ranges from 80-90 to 100-130, with worst case scenario being 60-70 FPS and best 130-140 FPS. Keep in mind that these are the results obtained on the testing computer and may differ between each computer!

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler] -Fixed a bug that would cause the necromancer's skeletons to crash the game if certain requirements were meant (Redeemer apologizes for the incovenience!); -Fixed a bug where the Gigantum Slime would appear to teleport/jump in the middle of an attack; -Fixed a bug where some elements in the Slime Dungeon would cause extreme FPS drop; -Skill descriptions now display the improvements per level; -Fixed a bug where melee attacks were not destroying projectiles; -Fixed a bug where the thief's basic attack was not scalling correctly (or at all); -Fixed a bug where the potions in the potion bar were not displaying their correct sprite; -Reduced the sound created by the item 'Battery'; -(NEW): Added a beta mechanism that automatically saves the player's progress when playing in the dungeon. This is so that if there is a crash because of a bug, not all progress is lost. It is not a mechanism that will be present in the final version of the game (at least, it is not planned).

Dungeon Souls Update #12.4

This patch fixes small bugs found in patch version 12.3. It also adds a bit of new content! [General] -Fixed a bug that caused the game to give an error when redeemer appeared under certain conditions; -Fixed a bug with the logging system; -Fixed a bug that caused the game to give an error when PWizard was alive under certain conditions; -Fixed an error that occured when the game detected that the player's save file was corrupted, but no back up files are present to revert; -Reduced stat point gain increased from leveling up. Now caps at two, gaining 1 per 10 levels; -Now only basic ranged attacks block enemy projectiles, instead of all kinds of projectiles (such as abilities); [Item Suggestion Thread] A huge thanks to Snorlaxxo for the following item ideas: -[NEW] Item class - Cursed. Cursed items give a massive boost/effect, in trade for a massive downgrade of another stat/effect. They can only be found inside cursed chests. -[NEW] Chest - Cursed Chest. Has 80% chance to spawn a cursed item, with 2% chance of spawning on a dungeon level. [NEW][Amplifying Tome] Description: Makes your damage dealing spells a lot stronger, but highly increases their cooldown. Effect: +200% mixed damage increase on damage dealing spells, +100% cooldown on damage dealing spells. Rarity: Purple (Cursed) [NEW][Scepter of Power] Description: Gives an insane damage boost, but harshly lowers HP. Effect: +200% Mixed damage, -50% MAX HP. These effects are refresh upon stat increase and level up. Rarity: Purple (Cursed) [FUTURE UPDATE] We would like to notify everyone that the next patch will be available by the end of this week. We would like to take a bit of a time to check on the issues/bugs reported carefully. Thank you very much for your untiring support and feedback to help us improve the game. -Dungeon Souls Team-
