What's new, in pictures: pets that grow, a raven to the dev, new store art
Leifyy
A lot went into the game in the last week. Here is the short version, with pictures.
Your pet grows
Every hero has a Soot Fox. It picks up the loot you walk past, runs to town and sells what you do not want. Feed it the junk instead and it gains levels: a pup, then young, then grown, and at level 26 an alpha that howls at bosses. It gets faster, carries more and looks for loot farther away.
Four hounds
Monsters sometimes drop a pup. Each act has its own hound: the Embercurl, the Gravejaw, the Duskstalker and the Redwarden. Each one has a perk, and your kennel in town keeps the ones you do not take along.
Send a raven
In the menu, pick Send a Raven and write your bug, idea or wish. It lands in my Discord. I answer in the thread, and the answer flies back into your game. Three ideas from ravens are in the game already: the Brightness slider, attribute reset at the healer, and barrels that break from held attacks.
A new face for the store
The store page has new pictures: one hero and the fox before the Cinder Matron. Everything is a real screenshot from the game.
Also in this week's updates
- Act IV, the Frostspine, with three new bosses and cold that bites.
- The Pyre: an endless climb after the story, each tier the burning memory of a place.
- Full controller support.
- Combine potions, buy stash tabs, runes by region, bounty roads.
- Spanish (Spain and Latin America).
Early Access starts on October 30 . Wishlist Cinderwake if you have not yet, and send a raven if something feels wrong. I read every one.
