- The Story Goes On Co-Op Update - 2 March 2020
We're releasing on Switch today! 🎉🎉🎈 We're excited to also bring all the Switch changes to PC, bringing local Co-op mode, various game changes and upgrades as well as a long list of bug fixes. New feature Local co-op Can be initiated from the main menu by selecting co-op. Play up to two players throughout the entirety of the game with any character you've unlocked. Does not require a new savefile or resetting progress. At least one player must be on a controller. Changes The entire game has been ported to GameMaker Studio 2, from GameMaker Studio 1. This means the game runs faster and is more stable overall. Co-op players now have a player outline, to better highlight who's who. Updates various graphics, mostly items. The entire game is now brighter, especially in the dark regions. Many players were previously unable to see room exit in the spooky and dark forest worlds. The final bo…
- The Story Goes On Releases! - 2 March 2018
Three years ago, we planned on being in Early Access for roughly 6 months. A lot has happened since then, we decided we wanted to take the game in a new direction and not become just another rogue-like. We were able to release on additional platforms and we've pretty much remade every single part of the game. The game is bigger and better than we planned. This is not the same game that entered Early Access what feels like forever ago. Even though the game is released, we're going to keep updating the game. Fixing bugs and most likely look into some parts we feel didn't turn out perfectly. Back in 2015, we decided to enter Early Access to get community feedback and ideas, this would not have been possible without you guys. Thank you so much for being with us every step of the way! Now I'm done being emotional, on to the actual changes! Changelog Minor spoilers ahead! Major Additions The…

- Patch 1.7: Desert Dungeon! - 13 February 2017
Hello again. It's time for another update. So here's what's new. Updated the main menu to have the same style throughout. The Desert Dungeon is now added to the story. Revised the script and updated all story interactions. New items! Recoded, redesigned and retextured almost all bosses. Replaced some of the bad enemies with newer, cooler ones. Some more abstract changes, and one of the reasons this patch took so long are some major internal reworks. This has led to more stability, more manageability and more rapid development for the future. This also means some major bugs have been taken care of. Levels are no longer kept in memory when you leave a floor. Game no longer occasionally crashes when attempting to go back to previously beaten levels. Game no longer crashes in the rare instances when the player is removed. Better performance and stability throughout. This, and some stability…

- TSGO v1.6 Changelog - 21 February 2016
The Tile Update! It's time again for a new update. We’re continuing to add dungeons, a bunch of items, bosses and shaping up the story! Vastly improved assets and textures across the entire game Added the Spooky Mansion Dungeon New items together with a new RNGenerator for items Four new bosses, and one major boss rework Bosses are now selected like items, based on what you've faced before New rough "tutorial" on startup that will introduce a small part of the story More music tracks by Sam ducking “L” Jones Responsive soundtrack Something that didn't quite make it in this patch was updating all enemy behavior, but it is still in the works and should be coming shortly. A vast majority of the work towards good enemy behavior is done, but there is much to go. We're very excited to hear your feedback about the new start of the game!

- Patch 1.6: Dungeons! - 10 January 2016
Hello! During these past two months we have been working hard on a new game concept that we believe will complete the progression of the game. DUNGEONS! What’s a dungeon? It’s a secret pre-made area, one for each world, once beaten you move further along the story. That's right, we’ll finally be implementing the story! You may stumble upon a dungeon during normal gameplay or travel to the end of the worlds where you’re given the option to enter a dungeon, costing you a few items and some money for each trip. Along with dungeons, we’ve added quite a few new items, which most do not naturally appear yet. This is due to us rewriting how items are rewarded and that won’t be live until a few days from now. But expect a lot of new items very soon! Gambit gets a makeover! Hooray!! What sort of a ninja only attacks once a second? A very lame one, but at the same time we didn’t want to remove hi…
