- Patch 1.0.2 Out Now - 24 October 2024
Hi everyone! Soul Stalker launched today and I really want to thank you all so much for supporting it on release! Some bugs have cropped up, but they've already been fixed, and that's what patch 1.0.2 is for. Below are the patch notes. Fixed bug that caused the Turnip menu not to appear when you first unlock pets. Fixed bug that made the shops to display information outside of the view of the screen when using ultrawide displays. Fixed bug that allowed you to dodge beyond 60% of the time. Hope you've all been enjoying Soul Stalker! If you have, a review would go such a long way!

- Final Update COMING SOON! - 18 April 2024
Hi everyone! It's been close to 2 months since the last update, and we've been super hard at work! Not only have we been porting the game to consoles such as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox, but we've also been doing the final content additions, QOL changes, and balancing adjustments for the final update! Of course, as I mentioned in the previous update, we added 3 new characters! I'll only be showing 1 for now, but they've all got super cool designs (especially the final one), and incredibly unique mechanics. For example, the one that I show below can't heal in campfires, and instead heals a bit after every single round. This sounds simple in principle, but you can make use of this ability incredibly well if you pair it up with some of the new trinkets that give you bonuses whenever you heal in combat (which this counts as)! We've also added tons of trinkets, and below you c…

- Beta 1.4.1 Hotfix + DISCOUNT - 5 February 2024
Hi everyone! Beta 1.4.0 came out 2 days ago on the beta branch, and now Beta 1.4.1 is out to address some minor bugs! Here are the Beta 1.4.1 Patch Notes Fixed a bug that caused music to be overridden by sound effects if there were many playing at once. This was fixed in a previous update, but was rolled back because of an engine upgrade. It should be definitively fixed now. Fixed a bug that caused some users to be unable to change their resolution settings. This was also caused by the engine update mentioned in the previous fixed, but the resolution detection method has now been changed so it works for those users, and remain unchanged for the ones for who it worked for already. Anyways, that's it for this update, I look forwards to getting your feedback, and I hope you all enjoy this new version of the game! P.S. A review would be greatly appreciated, it helps so much :) https://store…

Either way, here are the patch notes: Beta 1.3.0 Patch Notes Added the hub world - no longer do you click on menu elements, you can now interact with them in 3D space! Added a new weapon evolution system - the old weapon upgrade system can still be accessed in the weapon shop, but now you can apply unique 1 time evolutions to weapons at campfires! Added the job system - the overworld has a job board that shows 3 randomized runs. These have randomized characters, trinkets, weapons, and locations.

- Update Announcement - Hub and Progression! - 13 November 2023
Hi everyone! It's been about 2 weeks since the last update so it's about time I announced what we've been working on! The video below should do lots of talking... As you can see, we've removed the main menu from the game and replaced it with a hub! That's far from the only thing that's different, but I'll start explaining what this huge change means for how the game works. Firstly, instead of going to the main menu whenever you start the game or finish a run, you go to the hub. Then, you interact with the "Journey Globe", select your ascension difficulty, and then you start the run as always. You may be asking yourself how you choose your trinkets, weapons, and characters? Well, next to the globe there are two posts that you can interact with that allow you to equip and buy trinkets and weapons! There's also a character post that allows you to see the character quests, as well as change…
