- We're Listening... - 16 October 2017
Based on the early reviews and user feedback, we have revised the game to be a bit more forgiving, without taking away the overall challenge that is inherent to the Rogue-Like genre. In the early parts of the game, we have reduced enemy count, and increased the chances of health drops. With that said, this game is intentionally challenging. The game is designed to provide the skilled gamer a challenge, while including all of the features needed to be successful. Pro Tips: * Use your defensive abilities (block / dodge). * Stay alert! Every enemy telegraphs their attacks. Every one. * Break Everything! There are lots of valuable items hidden in the world. * Learn your Hero's strengths and weakness and buy items in the shop that shape them more to you're liking. * Each Hero has a different progression path. Adapt! Thank you to all that have taken interest in our game and took the time to g…

- So this is it! Here it is! Day of launch! - 21 September 2017
It’s been a tiring, but very productive couple of months since our last update. We’ve been working around the clock, evenings and weekends, with late nights that often turned into early mornings, doing all we can to make Pylon: Rogue a game we would want to play. We can proudly say that it is. We’ve gone over every possible detail that contributes to the look, feel and fun of the game and even we can’t believe how far the game has come. In the past three months, we have: Made significant improvements to the world design, character designs and special effects Improved world navigation, play control and feel Added a layered, yet simple combo system and/or new special abilities for all characters Added a host of new enemies to provide more intense and strategic combat Completely reworked Boss Battles (we went back to the whiteboard on all of them) Balanced the experience from run to run (n…

- Gearing Up for PAX West and 9/21/17 Release - 4 August 2017
We have FINALLY set a firm release date of 9/21/2017 and have increased the dev staff to ensure that we give you the most polished game we can by that date. In the meantime, we would like to show our thanks for Early Access supporters with an update. This update includes: New overworld map system, providing better sense of progression Three weapon sets to choose from for each Hero New “Ultimate” ability for Moneydin “Dual Shield” config New cave levels New enemies Final Boss Early story scenes Rebalanced Health and Scroll drops To be expected, adding all of this new stuff did introduce some new bugs, and we have had to temporarily disable the Champion Enemy encounters to prevent stalls to progression. We are currently in the process of experimenting with more open level-layouts, for a more exploratory feel, and focusing on game feel and play balance. Have fun with this work-in-progress…

- Patch #4 Out In inprogress Branch! - 27 March 2017
Hey everyone! It's been a while since our last game update, but hopefully this will be worth the wait! We've added an entirely new desert environment to the game, with new enemies and maps to explore. In addition, several new systems have been added including weapons and armor, a sprint mechanic, and a reworked stat system to inject a little bit more of that ARPG feel. On top of that we are using a new version of the engine, which provides significant improvements to performance and rendering. Currently the desert environment is not completely finished, but it is fully playable and pretty stable. The current build has been uploaded to the beta branch for anyone that wants to jump in and try out the new content a little early. Of course you can always wait until the content is finished and bugs have been squashed before jumping in, but we do appreciate any feedback on the build you may h…

- Development Update - January 20 - 20 January 2017
Hey everyone! It's been a while since our last post, but we are hard at work on a rather large update we're looking to release in March. The update will add significant performance improvements, and an entirely new environment – the desert – and everything that goes along with it: new enemies, new bosses, and new items. In addition to this, we are looking at some changes for character stats and item drops that can be made to improve the flow of the game. Most notably, we are planning to add some new equipment slots for weapons and armor that can change the playstyle of characters in unique ways. Of course, these changes are still being evaluated and are subject to change, but we will have more information as we move forward with the update in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! -QuantumSquid Interactive

- From The Shadows: Update #3 Released! - 10 October 2016
Update #3 has officially launched on the main branch for Pylon! This update comes with a new character, 10 new items, and bug fixes. New Character: Assassin The assassin is a melee character focused on critical hits and high mobility. Her charged attacks cause targets to bleed, and she gains additional crit chance when attacking bleeding targets. Her Shadowstep ability lets her quickly dash away from danger, and even slows time for enemies while dashing. If that wasn't enough, her special ability, "Dark Bomb", slows all enemies in range, and causes them to bleed for critical damage! Patch Notes: New Character: Assassin basic attack has additional crit chance on bleeding targets charge attack deals crit damage as bleeding damage over time defensive ability allows swift movement for a short duration, while slowing time for enemies special ability causes all enemies in range to take critic…
