Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] This update brings hero balancing to the game (with updated abilities), as well as modding support and re-make of voice lines!

Modding Support

We have added modding support for Dungeon Souls! Hurray! ːsteamhappyː Currently, the modding feature is limited to items only, but if players like it a lot and we start seeing quite the engagement, more features are to come! Here is a small roadmap of what we have planned for modding support, in case the community wants more of it:

• Enemies
• Pets
• Arcane Forge
• Dungeon Levels
• Traps

Check out the Dungeon Souls Wikia for more information, as well as the game's Steam Workshop page!

Game Elements

Redeemer Changed Redeemer's behaviour due to feedback concerning the amount of time available in a dungeon before Redeemer appeared. On easy and normal difficulties, redeemer will take twice the amount of time to appear (x2 multiplier). Also, the base amount of time it takes for the Redeemer to appear has been increased by over 60%. Voice Acting Changed both Skeleton King's and Slime Gargantulum's voice lines! We've also changed Slime Gargantulum's voice and revamped Skeleton King's!

Hero Balancing

We've taken a look into the feedback obtained from the hero balancing survey! From an analysis, we found out that every hero seems to be both over powered and under powered (suggesting that it depends on the player's play style). However, there were some heroes who were more "unfairly" under powered when compared with other heroes. We also observed general feedback in regard to abilities and cooldowns. As such, here is our hero balancing update! We hope you guys like it! ːsteamhappyː

Bug Fixes & Feedback Changes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler] Bugs

• Fixed a bug where redeemer would spawn in boss rooms.
• Fixed a bug where Slime Gargantulum would stop attacking after using certain abilities.
• Fixed a bug where the active items rocket and missile could crash upon use.
• Fixed a bug where difficulty was not being quicksaved.

Known Issues

• In some systems (both operative system and hardware components), the game has severe lags spikes for brief periods of time. This usually has to do with malfunctioning input devices, but a fix is being developed. If this occurs to you, please send an email to support@laminastudios.com with the operative system you have and hardware, as well as any relevant information (the time you were playing at and what were you doing).
• Currently, to some players, Steam functionalities are not working under Linux systems, as well as a few in-game functionalities (such as minimap). We are working into resolving this issue.
• During co-op, heroes have a different currency than the one specified on the HUD, resulting in some characters being able to buy certain items that the other player can't (due to gold spent). This will be fixed in a future patch.
