Hey Patrons!
Thanks for voting in that little poll last week. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of talents, so that’s what I’m going with! Read on to find out when talents will be coming to beta, and also about a few other smaller changes coming in v0.9.0.

Hey Patrons!
In the spirit of releasing more frequent updates, I've decided to release one more patch for v0.8.2 with a bunch of smaller fixes from my list, rather than rolling those into v0.9.0.

After crunching pretty hard on it last week v0.8.2 went to beta on Thursday! It’s seemingly quite stable now after a couple followup patches, so things look to be in track for a full release in the middle of this coming week.
Now, I’ve got some information to share on...

Hey Patrons!
I made a lot of progress on v0.8.2 last week, and it will hopefully be going to beta sometime this week!
The last few weeklies have been about that new gameplay system, so I want to shift gears for a moment and go back to what’s coming in the next update.

Hey Patrons!
Over the last month we’ve had a poll for artifacts, and a poll for rings/wands. Originally my plan was to do one poll each for artifacts, rings, and wands. However, rings and wands ended up getting merged into their own poll instead, so what do we do with our third poll?

For this item rework poll we’re focusing on wand and rings! There are fewer items that I have ideas for major design changes in these categories, so I’m doing them in one poll instead of separately. For each option I’ll share the item’s current state and some general id...

As mentioned before, I’m making a bunch of balance changes and general improvements to items in 0.8.1. As with any update that focuses on item adjustments, I like to fit in a few additions or reworks for items or item categories that need it the most. This time around, I thou...
