Hey Patrons!
Firstly, there’s a new Patreon Poll running! Following the theme of smaller content for v0.9.4, I’m doing a poll on adding a few new traps!
Unfortunately, I’ve been a bit slow on work this week. I had my second vaccine shot early in the week and it knocked me out of commission for a while. Still, I do have some new stuff to share!

Firstly, the eighth Patreon Livestream happened last Saturday. You can check out the VOD here.
In this weekly I’ve got some big news about iOS, and some new storefront screenshots to show off. Sorry for the drought of actual game content news, I’ve been a bit tied up with patches and iOS polish. I’m now ready to move full steam ahead on v0.9.4 though, so expect a lot more info on that in next week’s weekly.

As usual, if you have any questions you’d like answered, please write them in a comment here, or on the Patreon Discord.

I spent pretty much the whole of last week working on patches for v0.9.3, and on some technical kinks in the iOS port.
Hey Patrons!
Firstly, here are the results for Patreon Poll #18:
Keep Unblessed Ankhs as-is: 14%
Unblessed Ankh Proposal 1: 10%
Unblessed Ankh Proposal 2: 83%
A pretty definitive result here, Proposal 2 wins by a landslide! People generally didn’t like the random chance aspect of proposal 1, but loved the idea of having to fight to reclaim your items. I...
Hey Patrons!
As mentioned before, v0.9.4 is going to focus on a variety of small to medium changes, some of which are concerning items. While another major item rework is a bit much given what I’m already planning for v0.9.4, some changes to a less complex item would fit in quite nicely.
I’ve wanted to make some improvements to ankhs for a little while now, and so I’ve put together two proposals for each ankh variety for you guys to vote on!
The results from th...

I'm just about to release v0.9.3, and so I've opted to delay the weekly and poll for this week to give myself a little time. Expect them tomorrow at 11am!

Firstly, the VOD is up for the seventh Patreon livestream is up! You can check it out here.
I’ve not got much to share this weekly, as v0.9.3 is about to release once I put finishing touches on some spritework. I plan to spend this week doing that as well as working out my plan for v0.9.4 in more detail, so I should have something more to share with you then.
One thing worth noting ...

Hey Patrons!
After I finish up talents, making improvements to the game’s alchemy system is a high priority. I want to reposition alchemical energy, make a bunch of balance changes to individual recipes, and add a few new ones. However, with the iOS release coming soon it’s starting to look like v0.9.4 is a bad time for such major alchemy changes.
I still want to make some alchemy improvements in v0.9.4 though! So, for this poll I’m offering you guys some choices on what alc...

Hey Patrons!
Since v0.8.0 the distribution of enemy types is pretty even throughout each region, with 5 typpes each (4 in the demon halls if you count rippers and spawners as one). The distribution of rare enemies is a bit less even though, with the prison and halls each getting 1 while the other regions have 2. So, for this poll I’m aiming to impr...

As for Shattered news, v0.9.2 released late last week! I’m planning on doing some patches for it while I start getting geared up for v0.9.3. The most significant content of v0.9.3 will be the final tier of the talent system, so lets talk a bit about that!

I've changed the format up a little bit this time, by putting less of an emphasis on questions and more on sharing parts of my dev process. Please let me know if you think its an improvement!
