Monomyth Updates, $33,731 and Counting

With slightly over two weeks left in Rat Tower Software’s Kickstarter campaign for their first-person dungeon crawler Monomyth, the project is currently sitting at $33,731 pledged. And with the game now essentially funded, its campaign updates (#8 and #9) mostly revolve around the recent demo patches. For example:

Hi, dungeon-crawling fans!

The latest version of the demo is now available on Steam, itch.io, and indieDB!

Here are the patch notes:

• You can now rebind your controls (System -> Game Settings)
• You can now skip the intro (Press Esc twice)
• The character menu will now show descriptions for character attributes
• The documents tab has been restructured and renamed to “Notes”
• Documents now use a bigger font size and are easier to read
• There is new a skill menu providing an overview of skills and your current character build
• You can take all items from a container with the “Activate” button (Standard: F) and close containers with the “Inventory” button (Standard: Tab) or ESC
• Increased the radius of “Magic Arrow” projectiles which should be easier to aim now
• Slightly increased base movement speed
• Post-processing options should work again (these are temporary “overall” settings)
• Slightly increased the range of swords
• Fixed the range on the “Wooden Club”
• Equipment checks now work on the basis of equipment-adjusted attributes instead of raw character attributes
• Toned down particles on “Divine Light” – also, the particles should now correctly disappear after death
• Fixed collision on bushes at the trader’s gate.
• Improved chimney collision
• Accelerated horizontal mouse sensitivity to better match vertical sensitivity
• Character names are now limited to 30 letters
• Fixed a glitch that would let players escape the map and enter the serpent bastion’s cellar/caves
• Players should experience slight performance increases
• Toned down the glitter on fireflies when AA is turned off.
• You can no longer mantle through stairs
• Minor fixes in spell descriptions and balance
• Various invisible bug fixes

If you downloaded the demo on Steam it will automatically update. If you used the files from itch.io or indieDB you will have to re-download the data (you should be able to re-use your old characters though).

Best wishes and have fun!
