Roadmap Reveal & VFX Polish- The Runeveil development roadmap is officially live!

- Runeveil 0.5.5 Patch Notes - Leaderboards, Healing in Shop, Difficulty Curve - 8 August 2026
Hello everyone, we are here with another big patch. We did really well with balance I guess because the absurd combos are mostly gone, but this actually showed us how HARD the game is. While we are nerfing stages 2 and 3 a little bit on the HP side, we are also bringing a new mechanic: you can now buy heals in the shops, which should help the glass cannon builds to reach the end of stages 2 and 3, where they cannot one-shot enemies. These changes MIGHT bring the win rate back up, in which case we can adjust some things a little more.Another big change that is coming is the LEADERBOARDS!!! We are getting a bunch of data from you guys, and we are actually going to show you guys a lot of this data and everyone will be able to see it on the main screen. There are a lot of different lists, so have fun with it! We might reset the leaderboard during big updates/changes, which we will record th…
- Runeveil 0.5.41 Patch Notes - New Art & Bug Fixes! - 27 July 2026
Hello everyone, Baho here, back so soon with a fast follow update on the Friday patch. There were a bunch of bugs you guys noticed, which we fixed. Also, people reported that ascensions 6-7 (not a joke) are too hard, while a lot of new players are first timing first ascensions. While we want our game to be accessible in lower difficulty, everyone breezing through the game is not ideal, so we are bringing an ascensions scaling update. We also have some new art we put in the game which we want you guys to see right away as well! Ascension Difficulty OverhaulWe have flattened the extreme stat scaling across all Ascension levels to create a more consistent challenge.Ascensions 1 & 2: Enemy HP and Damage have been slightly increased to provide a stronger baseline challenge in the early game.Ascension 3: Enemy stats remain unchanged from the previous patch.Ascensions 4+: Enemy scaling has bee…
- Runeveil - 0.5.4 Patch Notes - BALANCE BALANCE BALANCE - 24 July 2026
Runeveil Patch NotesHi all, Baho here. This Friday we have a huge experimental balance patch for you guys, which we will be monitoring very closely, and we might do some hot fixes during the week.We have implemented a much more detailed data tool into the game, which we will be using to help us balance and make the game better, and with this tool we will have a surprise for you guys next Friday :)The changes in this patch aim to make the first 2 stages a little easier while stage 3 is a lot harder. We realized that as long as players could GET to stage 3, they blew past it, which is not something we want. We want each stage to have its own flair.At the same time, we ARE aware the game is very hard at higher ascensions, but we are waiting for a better balanced game to be here before touching those up.From here on, every Friday will have a balance patch (probably about this big or smaller…
