Hello everyone! Words can't truly explain how excited we are to bring you the 1.0 Release of Spiritfall after 11 months of monthly Early Access updates. This is our first game as a new studio and the support and love we've received from the community throughout Early Access has been incredible. With our 1.0 release, we unveil the final region, the final boss, a new weapon, new cross-regional boss, new blessings, enchantments, relics, ordinances, challenges and more. And what about post-launch content? We were never going to leave you hanging. So check out our initial small roadmap below for a few things we know we want to add. The reason for it's size is that we're leaving room for community feedback. Join the discord and get involved in the discussions! In the meantime, from our small team, we hope you enjoy Spiritfall and thanks for being with us on this journey. Much love, The Gentle Giant Team [previewyoutube=kxim7Dhj9UI;full][/previewyoutube]

Version 1.0.01 - Official Release

New Region: The Brink

• The final region is now accessible, including new enemy types and the final boss fight.

New Equinox Alternate Weapon Form

• The alternate form for the Equinox can now be acquired. Shift between Drill Mode and Spear Mode by using your Launcher. Both Modes share the same attack moveset but provide different properties to each attack.
• Drill Mode has built-in multi-hits on most attacks, providing overall increased damage per attack compared to its counterpart mode. Using Launcher in Drill Mode allows you to aim and shoot the Drill-Head, which travels in an arc and has an extended hitbox as it slowly drills into any surface it collides with.
• Spear Mode attacks come out faster than in Drill Mode and have Sweet Spots in various moves. Using Launcher in Spear Mode allows you to aim and thrust the spear forward, dealing damage and generating a new Drill-Head.

Weapons Awakening Mechanic Changes

• The awaking / alternate form mechanic has been slightly reworked.
• You can now unlock the alternate form of each weapon without having to awaken it base form first.
• Alternate forms can now be awakened as well, each of them has its own passive effect which is different from the base forms one.
• Added Awakened Alternate Forms for all 5 weapons.

Unlockable Omenforged Mask Power

• After completing the main story, a passive power will be unlocked for the default Omenforged mask. This power is not intended to compete with the Spirit Masks, but has its niche use; allowing you to set run augmentations without consuming Sanctum Resources in case you are running short. This is to help conserving resources if going for a no Mask challenge run, for example.
