- Post launch update - 11 June 2021
Hello there people, Now that the game has been out for a bit, i wanted to post an update with my comments together with the latest patch. First of all - Thank You to everyone who tried Rise of the Slime so far! It has been a rocky start for the lil' slime 😅 This was my first major game release and overall im very happy with the game and the fact that it launched ( altho it seems like a lot of people did not like the direction i took it in 😅) - im grateful to all of you who gave the game a chance and i hope that the game has brought joy to at least some of you! Many things went right, but many things went slightly sideways too, leaning in too much on more wild swings for combat difficulty is quite big misfire on my part atm that seemed to be allright in prelaunch game tests with smaller groups of people but in reality situation seems to be different when game got to the masses. On the…

- Couch Sliming [ Oct 13, 2020 ] - 19 October 2020
Hello there Slimers, In the latest patch ( Oct 13 ) Added gamepad support - now you can fully enjoy playing the game from the comfort of you couch. Grab yout trusty controller and smack some goblins with it. Fixes for bugs that poked up most issues and adding minor content polish, some typo fixes. At the moment primary goal is getting to stable 1.0 release, fluffing up the zones a bit. And enjoying releasing the lil' slime boy in the world properly.

Main points for this patch * Added controller support to game * Removed settigns altar from cemetary zone, it did not function properly and was not much more convenient than just using the regular settings menu * Updates to multiple l…
- Update progress [ March 8, Dev Diary ] - 9 March 2020
Hello there slimers! Time for another update post, and this time it's a news post about features and progress. This is a more boring one for players while i work on it. At the moment i am focusing on filling the gaps in game UI where players had confusion - places where card descriptions were not showing up, filling in missing descriptions ( like on pet summon cards and their levels ), expanding on info that was not displayed during gameplay ( like the fact that cards are upgradable), as well as trying to polish off the look for UI icons and so on. While its quite uninteresting, it must be done so that the game feels complete. Meanwhile - here is a little teaser for an AOE lightning storm, that will be coming in the new upcoming Storm deck. Thanks for reading! Till next week good people! ( Or till Discord! ) - Bunkovsky Link: https://discordapp.com/invite/nhR92wH
