Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2 Update 1.0.4

This week’s early access update for Kerberos Productions’ Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2 is primarily focused on fleshing things out and adding a bunch of feedback for various player actions. Aside from that, the update fixes a bunch of issues and adjusts a few things here and there. Here’s the full changelog:

Hallooo!

It’s weekly update time – as mentioned last week, this week was fleshing things out week, versus focusing on larger, specific systems and a lot got added; the amount of level tiles continue to increase the overall visual options for different floors, we added a LOT of new feedback, from the soothing computer telling you to eat and stop bleeding to your armor condition displaying properly to highlighting categories of items in your inventory and so much more! and that’s just the stuff we added! Lost of fixes and tweaks as usual.

We’ll get into this more as well as go over what the week to come will bring in tomorrow’s Touchbase Tuesday, but in he meantime, here’s the changelog for your perusal.

As always, keep playing, keep feedbacking. Yes, it’s a verb. If you haven’t noticed, we make a point of doing a hotfix ASAP, and then short of something really bad interfering with gameplay, we roll any additional feedback into the next update, so if you’re able to try our updates on Monday, we can usually address most bug reports and feedback by Tuesday. We’re not saying you have to, but the faster the feedback, the handier it is for us (and with the hotfix, for you guys!)

If you haven’t already, help us help new players discover this game by taking a moment to give us a thumbs up on Steam. Thanks, gang.

NEXT WEEK! Monster Mash (aka we’re working on the Monster Manager. It’s a big system, it’s not a day or two of effort, but the results will be big for the game in the long run, so, keep the feedback coming, we’ll get to everything we can for next update while we put a push on our Monster Mash.
