Hey everyone! Shawn here from AN Productions. I’m the programmer/co-designer of Soda Dungeon, and I wanted to share my new project with you: Designated Demigod! It’s a turn-based combo RPG about a girl and her dog setting off on an adventure filled with gods, warriors, and a menacing research center.



It's sort of a Paper Mario/ Street Fighter hybrid featuring hand-drawn animation, vivid environments, and high-energy combat. I've been working on it for almost five years now and I'm excited to finally be able to share it! While it does contain the turn-based DNA of Soda Dungeon it's not quite the same idle/farming experience. Consider it more of a "sit down in front of the TV and play with a controller" title. I hope it catches your interest, and that you’ll consider wishlisting! It would go a long way in supporting the project.
Thanks!

Version 1.2.2 makes for another maintenance update. We fixed a few more small bugs and made some stability changes that should improve the mobile experience. But of course we had to toss in a few new gems and an oddity just for fun :)

• Three new gems can be crafted: Uranium, Platinum, Copper.
  
• Seven new legendary/mythic gems will now drop in the Primal Lands.
  
• New oddity available: Treasure Trasher.
  
• Fixed some small bugs and reduced memory usage to improve crash rates.

Before I go I wanted to drop a quick plug for a new project I'm working on called Signy and Mino; It's a fighting game RPG! It's... much different than Soda Dungeon, but Soda Dungeon isn't going anywhere either. If you'd like to see an extended writeup about this, please see this thread on reddit:

Signy and Mino doesn't have a Steam page yet, but feel free to check out some screens and progress over at https://twitter.com/SignyAndMino

Version 1.2.1 is what I like to call a "maintenance" update that addresses a lot of small requests, bugs, and balance changes. We hope everyone has enjoyed discovering new mythics in the Primal Lands; we still have more content in the pipeline so stick around!

Version 1.2, aka the Primal Lands, is a major expansion to Soda Dungeon 2!
You may access this area as long as you are in Dimension 2 or higher by speaking with the new character outside of the Wizard's Hut.

• 5 new areas with new enemies, bosses, and attacks: The Tar Swamp, River, Veldt, Mountain, and Jungle.
  
• New story content and quests.
  
• 50 new items, including MYTHICS!
  
• 7 new minable ores and related plating effects.
  
• New stats to tinker with: Essence Multiplier, Withering (reduces enemy stats), +Battle credits per boss defeated, and Enemy stat boost (stronger enemies drop more gold)
  
• New statuses: MP Drain, Frozen, and Delirium (chance to attack friendly characters)
  
• Fixed an issue where the Drinkin' Buddies bundle wouldn't give characters back after entering a new dimension

This update has been in development for quite some time, so we hope the wait was worth it. Thank you to all of the Discord beta testers that helped to work the bugs out of the final build! For those interested in the nitty gritty details, here's a full list of patch notes for this update:

• Wither currently caps at 90%
  
• Fishing currently offers a 50/50 chance of boosting your team ATK or HP for the remainder of the run. Each battle location can only be fished once (if the battle takes place in the tar swamp or river)
  
• New ores can naturally spawn in the veldt OR mountain, as well as the usual mineshafts
  
• Of the 50 new items, 10 are rares, 2 per area, for lower level players
  
• Of the 50, 23 are mythics. Of those 23, 13 are unique and can only be found once.
  
• Mythics won’t drop until floor 1k and can't be obtained while using Battle Credits
  
• Ambushes cannot occur in river/tar swamp
  
• Paths in dungeon 2 will require 2 keys after level 1000
  
• Up to 2 ambushes per area can occur after level 1000
  
• In Dungeon 1 (Castle), enemy stat boosts received a 1.2x multiplier at level 500. Dungeon 2 has the same but bumps this to 1.3x at level 1k. Then, this multiplier grows by .1 every 10,000 levels. Note that this boost is added AFTER the base atk and hp are calculated
  
• 25% chance to encounter a seven enemy “swarm” on level x8 of the tar swamp and river

Version 1.1.1 is just a lil' update to pass along to everyone while we continue to work on Dungeon 2. Check out a new Dungeon 2 teaser below, and stay tuned!

It's hard to believe but July 9th is already our one-year anniversary! To celebrate we've created an exclusive Dark Lord building theme for the town. All you have to do is log in to your game file during the week of July 8th to the 14th (and also be connected to the internet). The new theme will be automatically added to the carpenter shop where you can go to check it out. We've also added a limited-time Anniversary Bundle that offers a lot of great upgrades for new and returning players. With the addition of the Adventure Guild rewards in the last update it's never been better time to get into Soda Dungeon!

We've also started on the first major expansion to the game which includes a brand-new dungeon, enemies, items, bosses, and story content! That will all take a while but we'll update everyone as development progresses. Here's our first teaser for now:
