- New Abilities Update - 4 August 2024
Hello Survivors! We are very excited to launch this new "abilities" update to SurvivalScape. Leaderboards will not be reset for this update while we collect data on how these new abilities change scoring. Patch Notes: Omniscient class has been added to the main game New hidden achievement Players now have a range indicator circle showing their lock-on range VSync option should no longer reset when opening the options menu Translations can now be overridden from the options menu Fixed an issue with some classes (Archer, Wizard, Druid) having higher default range than intended Fixed an issue with projectiles not firing in the weekly challenge Fixed a bug where Shuriken would crash the game Twitch integration now waits for streamer to choose level up New Abilities: There is a new targeting system, "close range/radius targeting."

- Leaderboard Reset, Looking at Launch, and What's Next - 28 July 2024
Hello Survivors! First off, we have reset the leaderboards due to changes with the new random leveling affecting scores. Secondly, abilities are now capped at 3 per run With launch week coming to a close, we wanted to talk about what went right, what went wrong, and what we're doing next. What went right: Almost 150 players completed 1,600 runs during the first week! We're thrilled with these numbers and really look forward to expanding and continuing to work on the game. Here's a breakdown of the player's class choice for all runs in the game: Wizard is the most popular, while Shaman is the least picked. This could be due to Shaman being the last class unlocked or just Wizard being too strong. Our goal is to try and have equal pick rates for all classes across the game. Level Breakdown: Desert seems too tough at a 42% win rate, balance adjustments are planned for an upcoming patch. We…
- Patch Notes v1.0.955 - Leveling Rework - 27 July 2024
Hello Survivors! We've made some major changes to how leveling works in SurvivalScape. Upgrades are no longer linear and the upgrade tiers are random. This is an experimental change while we further investigate how this affects scoring. Again, the weekly challenge mode has all RNG removed so each player has the same exact run. Patch Notes: Enemy projectile size increased Enemy projectiles now have variable speed Leveling Rework: 10% white upgrades removed Leveling tiers are now randomized and are no longer linear Stats and Cooldown upgrades will now show Pre->Post upgrade information This is to better explain the new upgrade system is additive and does not replace or lower your power. Fire Rate now shows as per second: Example: 0.67 -> 1.3/s Abilities now shows as seconds on cooldown: Example: 3->2.67s Scale now shows as size increase Example: 1.0 -> 1.35x Tier's renamed: Tier-2 (green)…
- Patch Notes v1.0.933 - 23 July 2024
Patch Notes v1.0.933 Hello Survivors, Yesterday was a fantastic launch, but we noticed some issues that arose and hopefully our first post-launch patch addresses most of them! Obelisks: Leaving an obelisk circle will no longer despawn the obelisk until the first "light" is lit, this is to prevent accidentally despawning obelisks before you are ready to capture them. Enemy telegraphs Enemies will now flash yellow before firing attacks Overhauled Enemy Projectile attacks: Enemy cooldown is now based on a psuedo random range to avoid projectiles firing all at once Enemy cooldown is now tied to framerate Enemies will wait to start cooldown until game begins, this will prevent mass firing at the start of boss rush Player Default Range: 300 -> 400 Increased Twitch Level up timer to 15s Added new Twitch chat commands to avoid 30s timeout: !1st, !first, !2nd, !second, !3rd, !third Fixed boss pr…

- Patch Notes v0.653 - 27 May 2024
v0.654 -- Druid's Entangle cooldown changed from 3->5s Scoring reworked: Previously, players who did not reach the boss on a level received a "time penalty." I noticed the scoring was not different enough between a player who died at 1 minute, compared to others who died at 5 minutes. We now have "survival points" which accrue with each second survived. HP scoring has also changed from a flat rate to a percentage. Level completion speed, boss damage, and boss kill speed still apply. * All leaderboards have been reset due to this change Changes: Daily Challenge difficulty rebalanced Flawless bonus reduced from 150->69 Boss rush now has piercing enabled by default Challenge mode now has magnet enabled by default Damage Reduction has been removed as an upgrade Enemy projectile attack rate changed from float->int, and randomized to +0-7s Damage rate reduced from 45->33 Font changed on Stats…
- Patch Notes - v0.642 - 25 May 2024
v0.642 Boss rush leaderboards have reset due to the following changes Class balance Taking a look at classes' win rate for the last day, it shows Rogue is an overperformer. It's the top selected class with the highest win rate, so I've adjusted some of the cooldowns to hopefully bring it inline with everything else. Additionally Wizard has been underperforming since the last round of nerfs, while both Druid and Shaman have low win rates. Druid Sprit wisp speed increased from 169->250 Wildfire base scale increased from 1.0->1.2 Wildfire area increased from 20->30px Rogue Splinter cooldown increased from 3->4s Poison cooldown increased from 3->5s Shaman Fire totem cooldown decreased from 13->12s Fear totem cooldown decreased from 12->11s Earth totem cooldown decreased from 11->10s Wizard Splash now targets enemies at the center of the sprite instead of the bottom tip Splash area increased…
- Patch Notes v0.638 - 25 May 2024
Scoring Change: Increased level time penalty for not reaching boss from 1000 -> 2500. Sewer's top score has been removed due to this issue Daily challenge update: We now select the "last" class in the random list, instead of first. This hopefully stops Knight being the class everyday. Challenge mode level range now -10/+5 (from -5/+5) How to play updated to say "Daily Challenge" instead of "Weekly Challenge"
- Patch Notes v0.627 - 24 May 2024
v0.632 -- Health is now displayed on Game Over screen Added Discord button v0.629 -- Fixed an issue with Boss Rush not showing it's selected, and allowing you to Boss Rush levels you had not yet cleared. v0.627 -- Adjusted transparency for Knight's Shield Spin and Druid's Spirit Wisps to try and create less visual noise. Flawless score bonus has been lowered from 250->150 Flawless scores have been reset Wave timer now 15s in all modes once boss spawns Map Changes Dungeon Skeleton Warrior's HP Increased
- Patch Notes v0.612 - 23 May 2024
v0.621 changes: -- Druid's Entangle is now a targeted ability v0.618 changes: -- Mini Rats now play their death animations Rat Ball should stop attacking at game over Dagger sprite fixed Fan sprites fix Obelisk leaving area causing the obelisk to area to grow fixed v0.612 changes: -- The weekly challenge has been changed to a daily challenge. Time Played is now counted when restarting / returning to menu and not just at the game over screen Melee attacks now deal 1 base damage instead of 2 Added descriptions to levels: Dungeon - Normal Sewer - Infested Fixed fetching leaderboards when there are more than 25 players After looking at yesterday's map clear numbers I felt like they were too high. Enemy density also was pretty light with the recent changes. I have reduced the force_spawn_wave timer for both maps, and added some more changes. Map Changes: Sewer: Sewer enemies now increase eve…
- Patch Notes - Build v0.593-demo - 22 May 2024
My first patch notes! Looking at the run statistics Sewer only has a 20% clear rate, which feels too difficult, I have rebalanced the level: Sewer Rebalance: Enemies now increase every 5 levels instead of every 3 Rat Mages to start spawning at level 20, instead of level 12 Poison balls have been recolored purple/blue for better visibility Poison ball speed reduced from 250 -> 200 Leaderboards for Sewer have been reset due to these changes. Class Changes Shaman: Earth totem stun from 3.0 -> 1.5 Druid: Entangle stun from 3.0 -> 1.5 Bug Fixes / QoL Updated Main Manu font, level select, and redesigned boss rush option button. Pausing/Resuming the game on the class select screen will no longer start the game without a class and now shows the mouse. Score Timer now shows level goal
