- The Future of Labyrinth - 10 July 2019
Warriors, Delvers, Plunderers, and Heroes, We are sad to announce that Labyrinth will be shutting down in September of 2019. We have made the difficult decision to move in a different direction and will no longer be supporting the game in its current form. We are incredibly grateful to all Labyrinth players that have joined us on this journey over the last five years. It has been an honor and a joy to be able to make the game that we wanted to play, and share it with such a wonderful community. As a way of saying thank you, everything in game is now free so you can build your ultimate decks and show Starfall what you’re made of. And, as you fight your way through Starfall once last time, keep your eyes peeled. You never know where Korghan and his band will show up again! For questions or concerns, please write to [email protected].

- Adventure Update - 21 February 2018
https://i.imgur.com/9vMKcPq.png The long-awaited RPG update is here! http://store.steampowered.com/app/412310/Labyrinth/ Embark on a new adventure through the city of Starfall on a quest to find the entrance of the Labyrinth. Enjoy a new expanded story as you explore the mysterious and dangerous streets of Northgate and Smithstone. While your heroes are away, protect your Lair with your Boss against would-be interlopers! Important Changes Improved progression. Your Heroes and Bosses move to each new zone together, and gain in power as they do so. Stars are tied to your location, and no longer gained with level. Level still unlocks cards. Adventure combines other modes. PvP and story content are woven into a single campaign. As you battle your way to the heart of the city, you encounter the Bosses of other players who are doing the same. Simplified economy. Gold is now primarily used to…
- Week 112 Progress - 27 January 2018
https://i.imgur.com/9vXaUMk.png Development Since the last progress report we encountered a couple bad bugs that put us behind our desired schedule, but we've moved past them and in the process had the opportunity to rethink the onboarding flow and made a big change to the organization of the tutorial content to fit that better flow. Additionally, the team worked on the following. The Art Team created more card art; modeled dialog characters, Engineering A & B characters, Smithstone tiles and others for Smithstone; colored all levels; post-processed color grading; completed the Church Entrance; created Shenjang map; created Boss map concept art; created UVs for Smithstone tiles; improved reward screen; and skinned dialog characters. The Audio Team mixed music; improved transitions; created ambiences for all adventure levels, convo bubbles, and encounter sound. The Design Team wrote Pyro…

- Year End Progress - 22 December 2017
https://i.imgur.com/UQvPkAt.png Happy Holidays Everyone! https://i.imgur.com/GsmqBJC.png Indie DB: Indie of the Year Competition Thank you all for voting in the IOTY competition for 2017. Labyrinth made it into the Top 100 again and in popularity rank hovered around 20-60 throughout the month. Popularity rank does not directly correspond to voting. That's a pretty solid performance, but perhaps not enough to get Labyrinth into the Top 5 awards. We'll have to wait and see. A big thank you to Skybound and The Walking Dead which helped promote Labyrinth in the competition too! https://i.imgur.com/vZOdP7E.png Development Like many people at this time of the year, we have been really busy trying to make as much progress as possible. It has only been a week and a half since the last progress report, but this is what we accomplished: The art team worked on the Starfall world and Smithstone dis…

- Feature Enhancements - 14 December 2017
https://i.imgur.com/k0UjrcK.jpg In the upcoming update you will be able to edit the decks of your heroes and bosses right on the party select screen before you go adventuring. https://i.imgur.com/UVSjxGp.png We are introducing a new in-game currency, Starstone, that you can use to buff your boss from encounter to encounter. https://i.imgur.com/osZlaGh.png Practice mode will be a more prominent part of the user interface because many players want to test out the changes to their decks before they go adventuring. https://i.imgur.com/BbqbPwB.png The City of Starfall is quite a maze in of itself. It is only fitting that this is the starting point to putting the "labyrinth" in Labyrinth. Embark on your adventures from here. https://i.imgur.com/1uUURM5.jpg After completing an encounter there will be opportunities to gain treasure or if you didn't do so well, wounds. These are cards that are t…

- 3D Printed Korghan - 6 December 2017
https://i.imgur.com/q7wtpuA.jpg This box was much bigger than expected! https://i.imgur.com/RSYarBw.jpg Packed with care! https://i.imgur.com/zp6qyXx.jpg There's Korghan down there. First glance, fantastic! https://i.imgur.com/WwcCIjV.jpg There's the base. Temple level with tufts of grass added! https://i.imgur.com/amp52AH.jpg The model is about 7" tall. https://i.imgur.com/LTQfUH5.jpg Captured from in-game modeled, looks like there was some modeling touch up work, 3D printed, hand assembled and painted. https://i.imgur.com/kTVAIDN.jpg Facial detail really holds up. https://i.imgur.com/swTwDlL.jpg Conceivably, we could make any Hero or Boss with any pose. A custom model like this will probably cost about $200. Would you be interested in buying one, if so tell us what would be exciting to you? Please remember to vote for Labyrinth for Indie of the Year

- 2 Year Development Anniversary! - 1 December 2017
Greetings, Backers! Bradley here. To celebrate the 2-year anniversary of our Kickstarter Campaign, I'd like to look ahead to the future of Labyrinth and share some details about the major changes to the game that we have been hard at work on for these last few months. https://i.imgur.com/EOAGLnN.jpg Introducing: Adventure Our next major update, which will release in early 2018, adds a totally new way to play Labyrinth: Adventure! In this new mode of play, each battle is no longer an isolated match, but is now connected to a larger story that progresses as your heroes and bosses venture deeper into the City of Starfall as it erupts into chaos. https://i.imgur.com/7laD8sb.jpg At the start of each zone in the city, you will establish a base camp around a Keyrift. These cosmic anomalies are the source of magic in Labyrinth, and your boss must fiercely protect yours. If they succeed in doing…

There is placeholder art and some of what you see has already changed and we have plans to modify other aspects of it. However, it should give you a taste of what's in store in the near future. Can you guess what new features are being added and how Labyrinth will be played? This patch is a small update to fix a critical bug and make some tweaks to cards. Menu Fixes * Defense Tutorial was locked for certain players Gameplay Fixes * Amp spending was being triggered early by certain abilities Gameplay Revisions * Manessa and Adolphus AI set to long range not full kiting Card Revisions * Anox's Blessing is now 2 Ticks, Give friendly character +2 Attack on their next attack OR 3 Devotion kicker this h…
