- Survival Update - 30 March 2024
Warning, this update will wipe your progress I learned that this update will wipe your progress. I apologize to anyone who loses a significant amount of progress from this update. It appears that adding the extra level is likely making the old game save not compatible with the new save system. Final Update This is the final major update of the game! The two main new features are Survival Mode, which is an endless map with procedurally generated waves. Survival Mode This adds some story to The Ironbourne character and two new achievements. This map plays very differently from the campaign. Waves can stack. Perk upgrades are available. New turrets and enemies! You will be rewarded with a story cutscene and an achievement. Hot Keys Hot keys are now available for the player abilities. They are assigned to the number keys above the alphabet keys on your keyboard. This allows for quick access…
- Hot Fix ver 1.3.4.2024 - 5 March 2024
Level Unlock I wanted to get this fix out immediately after I found the cause of the level unlock bug. Many players were having trouble unlocking the levels on the level select screen, due to the save system not registering what level they were on. This should be fixed! Skip Story Aside from that, I added a "Skip Story" button for the story segments, Press the ESK key to bring up the pause menu during the story segments and you can now skip to the next level. Performance I did some performance optimization to help improve performance for lower performance builds. Balance I've made balance changes to both the boss fights. Check out the Change Log below for details on all the changes. V1.3.4.2024 Change Log Added selector arrows for resolution Slight reduction of Deathbringer's HP from 40000 to 32000 Added Pause Menu to story segments with Volume sliders and Skip Story button UI slider ad…

- Audio and Achievement Update v1.2.27.2024 - 27 February 2024
Audio I'm happy to announce that we've added new features to the game. First off, many have noticed that the audio sliders were not present in the main menu, and the audio settings didn't always carry over from one scene to another. The sliders were intentionally not included in the main menu due to technical issues pre-launch. Not only have we fixed the issue of the settings carrying over, but the audio sliders have been added to the main menu. Achievements We've also added Steam Integration with Achievements. This has been a learning experience, and my first time using Steam Achievements in a game, so the achievements are very straight forward, completing each level. I have good news for early supporters of the game. For those of you who already own and played the game, you don't need to replay the entire game to earn the achievements. Every achievement for beating a level, will also…
