Latest Steam announcements

• Update v1.0.2 - 22 May 2026

  A minor patch to address the title screen background battles counting toward Steam achievements and the bestiary page in the compendium. We are working on more enemy variety so that each biome feels more distinct!

• Update 1.01 - 3 May 2026

  I want to thank everyone who has supported the game so far and an extra thanks to everyone who has provided me with feedback. Initial feedback was clear: the very first run can feel a little overwhelming, especially when trying to learn the systems and how the biomes work. As an example, I have seen some players stumble in the very first room, because they started with Freya, who has an Ice skill, and randomly ended up in the Ice biome to start. The result? Enemies who resist Ice and Freya struggling to kill on her own. The very first dungeon run should be noticeably more forgiving now in hopes of making it easier for players to learn the game's systems on their own. The boss fight remains unchanged. After finishing your first run, the difficulty will automatically return to its standard curve. If you've already done your first run, you won't see any changes. First run is now a friendli…

• Celebrating 20+ Units Sold Worldwide! - 1 May 2026

  I had zero expectations with the launch of the game. Throughout the entire development process, I insisted that Better Luck Next Run would sell eight copies. I'm thrilled to share that it has officially exceeded those eight copies, with over 20 units sold worldwide and now over 100 wishlists. So I wanted to give a personal thanks to everyone who picked up the game, and an even bigger thanks to those who didn't refund it. I do hope some of you are enjoying it and having fun.Now that we've shattered every projection (multiple times over, even), I've decided it's time to do some actual outreach and put real effort into marketing. For those of you who have been playing and have feedback, please consider leaving a review (positive or negative). I'd genuinely love to hear what you think and how the game can be improved. And come join the rest of us on Discord, where I'd love to talk to the do…

• Better Luck Next Run Launch! - 27 April 2026

  Better Luck Next Run is opening its dungeon doors to new adventurers looking to take on this roguelite 16-bit JRPG built in RPG Maker MZ! For the next two weeks, Better Luck Next Run will celebrate its launch with a 20% discount, making the game just $3.99. And remember, a portion of every sale will go directly toward hiring an artist to create original assets for the game.While I've done my best to test the game thoroughly, with help from several others who contributed their time, there are very likely some interactions we haven't thought of. So we do welcome you to break the game, and if you find anything, please join us in our Discord and let us know. We tried our best to think of everything, like putting up Taunt and Retaliate on a character and having them Leap in the air to see what happens. There are very likely some scenarios, especially those that involve Legendary Weapon Skill…
