RELEASED: Kincaid 2023.08 *Hotfix 1*

Hi Space Adventurer!

It is time! The stinky goat has finally been unleashed!

You can kick his ass here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88403731

Goat Enemy

This little stinker is definitely a step up from the kobolds. They are fast and dangerous! We are still tweaking these, but keep in mind that you will face these enemies on the second planet where the learning curve has gone up a little bit. You’ll also have more upgrades by the time you meet them.

But for now, we hope you have fun pummeling them and getting your, uh, revenge! ^w~

Where to find them: In order to get to where the goats are hidden, you have to find enough Rift Crystals to stabilize the rift in the City Ruins!

Walkthrough: Here's a walkthrough on how to get all 18 of the crystals (for $10 patrons and above): https://www.patreon.com/posts/rift-crystal-88970605

Kobold City Ruins

We have expanded a great deal on this area! We hope you have as much fun exploring it and finding the secrets as we had building it.

Can you find all the Rift Crystals and discover what this new Rift is all about!?

(HINT: To make it a bit easier, we have hidden more Rift Crystals in the area than you actually need to open the portal! But if you're up for a challenge, try to find all 18 of them!)

Map Screen

The map screen has been completely recreated from the ground up! It is heavily inspired by the map style of games like Ori and Hollow Knight. We think it makes navigating maps easier, as the shape of the area gives you more information than a bunch of colored squares.

You can also set your own pins now! Click a pin again to cycle through images.

Deflected Projectiles

A smaller but interesting change is the way deflected projectiles behave now. We want to expand on this mechanic and make it more fun. Try hitting kobold bombs and other stuff and see what happens! This should make fighting enemies that use projectiles and throwables way more fun and rewarding!

We hope you have fun with this latest installment. See you in the next roundup where we will talk about the next steps forward!

And again, thank you all for the kind words and support for Kincaid! You’re truly making this journey a blast for us! <3
