We've dispatched a hotfix to fix some bugs that were occuring in the Release 2.0 build.

1. Fixed a bug where the in-game graphics would not display properly.
2. Fixed a bug where some of the text descriptions would display a code instead of the intended text.
3. Fixed a bug where the player did not die when attacked by the First Hero with 100% damage decrease stat active.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys!
It’s finally here, the big update we’ve been developing restlessly over is now live!

This update brings a lot of overall changes to our game. We’ve tweaked skills, items, quintessence and made level design changes so that you’ll be able to enjoy the game at a more fun, faster pace. We’ve also implemented a new system where you can choose your own path after clearing a map depending on what you need. Two random doors will appear after each level out of a total of three different doors. Each door will lead you to one of the three rewards: skulls, items or gold.
On top of that, we’ve simplified over 10 different attack-related character stats down to just 2 stats: “Physical Attack” and “Magic Attack.” With this change, we’re hoping that it will be clearer which items you want to obtain and buy when playing your runs and try strategizing building certain combinations.
One final announcement, we’re bringing you an official collaboration skull with the popular roguelite game: Dead Cells!
We’ve had a blast developing the new Prisoner skull and want to give a special shoutout to Motion Twin who has been wonderful to work with.
With the new update, you’ll be able to play as the agile and spectacular Prisoner skull.


Check out the full details of this patch down below!

• Grade: Unique
  
• Type: Speed

Aren’t you that Beheaded fellow?

• Three types of reward doors added. Can choose between [Gold], [Skull], [Item].
  
• After a level has been cleared, two doors will appear instead of one.

  Developer comment We hope that with this change, each run will feel unique and different from the last.

• All attack related stats have been simplified down to two stats: [Physical Attack] and [Magic Attack]
  
• All damage related stats have been simplified down to three stats: [Physical Damage], [Magic Damage] and [True Damage]
  
• - [Physical Damage] is influenced by [Physical Attack]
  
• - [Magic Damage] is influenced by [Magic Attack]
  
• - [True Damage] is not influenced by any stats.
  
• Most basic attacks deal [Physical Damage], most skills deal [Magic Damage]
  
• Active components of items and quintessences will also either deal [Physical Damage] or [Magic Damage] and will be affected by the character’s [Physical Attack], [Magic Attack] stats.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment We felt that there were too many stats regarding attack and damage and some of them were vague and confusing. We’re making appropriate changes so that you’ll know exactly what you’ll be getting when acquiring or buying items and quintessences.

• We’ve increased the total amount of items from 6 → 9.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment Go nuts and experiment with different item combinations!

• The increased amount of gold earned in lart parts of the game has also been decreased accordingly.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment We want gold to remain as an important currency that users will have to strategically spend. With this change, users that have been saving up gold from earlier parts of the game will be rewarded by being able to spend more gold on higher tier items in the marketplace.

• Increased the effects of offensive items.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment We’ve buffed offensive items so that users will be able to really feel more powerful with each new item they equip. It also allows users to strive for extreme item combinations.

• Changed many ‘max HP % healing’ effects to ‘static number healing’ effects.
  
• Rookie Mode effect has been changed to ‘Decrease incoming damage by 50%’

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment We want to differentiate the concept of Max HP and Decreased incoming damage stats.

• Reduced critical damage from 2x → 1.5x

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Development comment Critical damage was too powerful in some situations and item combinations, so we decided to give this stat a nerf.

• - Power: Physical Attack +20%
  
• - Balance: Magic Attack +20%
  
• - Speed: Critical Hit Chance +10%

Unfortunately, when it comes to the major update we teased last week (level design, reward system & balancing changes), it still needs a little more time in the oven before it’s ready to go. We’re trying our best to make this update as fun and rewarding as possible, so we hope that you can understand the slight delay. Just know that we’re working extra hard to release it as soon as we can and that it should be out by the end of June at the latest.

Hello, SouthPAW Games here!

Our next update is planned to be released next week! That being said, the update contains a lot of experimental design elements and pretty big changes to our game.
We want you to know that we’re always listening to your feedback and making this game together as gamers. With this experimental update, we’re trying to implement all the things that we think that will make the game more fun to play.

“We think this will make the game more fun, what do you think?”

Here’s a teaser of what will change with next week’s update.

1. Balance Changes

We’ve made balance changes to all Skulls, Items and Quintessences.
As always we’ll be open to feedback and insights you can provide us. Here are the changes:
- Skills changed to be more powerful. Cooltime on skills reduced.
- Increased the efficiency of swapping skulls. Users will be rewarded for being able to masterfully swap between skulls.
- Overall buffs to items across the board.
- Increased the usefulness of the Active element of Quintessences compared to their Passive stats.



2. Level Design Changes

We’ve received many feedback from our users saying that our game could benefit from having a faster gameplay pace. We’ve been looking into how to make the game have a faster pace while also making it fun.
In our next patch, you’ll be able to play our new level design that hopefully makes the game both more fun and feel fast-paced.


3.New Reward Mechanism

We thought that having an entire map dedicated to having one Grave or Treasure Chest prop disrupted the flow of the run.
So we’ve created a new reward mechanism that will allow you to pick up your skulls, items or gold after clearing each map without having to enter a whole different map.
With the new update, there will be 2 doors instead of just 1 that you can choose to proceed to after clearing a map. Different doors will grant you different rewards, (skull door, item door, gold door) so you can choose which door you want to enter depending on what you need at that given moment in your run.
We’re planning to further develop this method of placing rewards and also add more variety of rewards so that each of your runs feels unique.



4. Simplifying in-game Stats

We have a lot of different stats right now. (Damage, Basic Damage, Skill Damage, Melee Damage, Ranged Damage, Projectile Damage, Item Damage, Quintessence Damage… we have 10+ stats related to just the damage aspect of our game!)
We know that most of you have felt that the sheer number of stats to be confusing, and with good reason.
Now we’ve narrowed damage related stats to just 2 types of stats: Physical Damage and Magical Damage
WIth the new update, most basic attacks will deal Physical Damage and most skill attacks will be considered Magical Damage.
There are some exceptions, a few skulls will have basic attacks that will have magical damage and have skills that deal physical damage.
Items and Quintessences will now clearly display which of the 2 damage that they’ll increase or deal.
We hope with these new changes, you’ll be able to more clearly be able to stack synergies between different items, quintessences and skulls and have fun testing out creative strategies each run.


5. Item Slot Increase

We’ve decided to increase the amount of items you can equip from 6 to 9!
We want you to have more fun trying out different item combinations and continue to feel more and more powerful as you obtain better items.




As always, thank you so much for having fun playing our game. Keep those wonderful feedback coming. We’ll be posting the full detail of the update once the patch is live!

Hey guys, SouthPAW Games here!

Since our ‘Development Roadmap’ post in late April, we’ve been receiving a lot of user feedback regarding our game.
We appreciate all of you who have played our game and those that went the extra mile to send us feedback.


Based on some of your great feedback, we’re improving the current state of our Early Access build. Of course, we’re also simultaneously developing our planned contents for official launch.

Please understand that we weren’t able to address each and every one of your feedback. So if your feedback didn’t make it onto the list today, maybe we can talk about them at a later date!
We hope that through this post, we can address your curiosities, concerns, and excitement for our game.

For our next patch, we’re looking to make balance and level design changes. We’re trying to take the time we need before implementing this to our live client, but please do stay tuned for our next update!

Without further ado, let’s talk about some of the most requested feedback that you’ve sent us.


Q: There seems to be lots of different stats that affect my character during gameplay but this is not very clear during my play at the moment. Can we have some way to show what items are affecting which of my character’s stats?

A: We agree that this needs to be addressed. We’re planning to make it so that it’s intuitively clear which stats affect your attacks and skills by using color.
We’re also planning to simplify the stats in the game by removing many unclear stats.


Q: Can we be able to sell Quintessences like we can with items?

A: Of course, we'll look into having this function implemented after checking that this doesn’t cause unforeseen issues with the game.


Q: Can we have a ‘Save’ function? I would like to be able to save and return to my game.

A: We didn’t think about implementing this feature during our early stages of development, but we’ve received so many requests for this function that we’re recently feeling the need to. However we’re going to have to develop this from the ground-up, which is a massive task, so we’re going to need a lot of time for this.


Q: Can we have more upgrades available through the Witch NPC?

A: Yes, in fact, we’ve mentioned this on our roadmap. We feel that permanent upgrades are a big fun factor when it comes to rogue-lite games. We already made some progress with new upgrades to come and we think they’re really fun. Hope you guys will feel the same way!


Q: Can we have more NPC related in-game events?

A: This is a great idea! We could definitely give the world of Harmonia some depth through NPC interactions and events. But until our official launch, we’re going to focus on making the core game. We’ll keep this idea in mind for updates to come after launch though.


Q: Can we have more map diversity?

A: Yes, creating new maps is a priority task for us. We’re also trying to find a better way to make each of your runs feel exciting and fresh.


Q: Any plans for a hard mode?

A: We’re thinking that this feedback came from one of our more dedicated players looking for an extra challenge. If you are one of those players, we would like to extend our greatest gratitude to you for playing our game to this extent. However, until our official launch, we’re trying to focus our development effort on the overall experience of the game: from starting the game to finishing the game and reaching our game’s ending.


Q: Can you revert the color of the Rider Skull back to its fiery color? (Orange, not green)

A: We were very surprised to see this much feedback about this. We’ll make sure that the Rider Skull will have its original fiery orange color back by our official launch date. On top of this, a handful of other skulls will be receiving visual upgrades so look out for those!

Q: We need MORE skulls!

A: Yes we do. We’re hoping to have 50 skulls by our official launch. This is double the amount we started out with in Early Access. We strongly believe that the amount of skulls directly affects how fun our game is as a rogue-lite game. Stay tuned for more skulls to come, and keep all those cool skull ideas/suggestions coming!


Q: Any plans for local co-op?

A: Local co-op is a feature that we would definitely like to develop later down the road. We’re expecting to add this feature after our official launch so that you’ll be able to take on the Imperial Army with a buddy!


Q: Can we be able to control how high my character jumps with the jump input? (hold to jump higher, release to descend)

A: We think that this comes down to user preference. We’ve designed our game so that the game doesn’t require you to use this function. Also, there are nifty ways that you can cancel your jumps mid-air so there’s also the matter of rewarding skilled gameplay that we want to keep. So for right now, we’re going to leave the jump mechanism as it is!


Q: “I think it would be cool if the Carleon Recruit that appears with Carleon Recruit skull’s [Comrade: Recruit] skill had something marking him as a traitor like a red scarf or something” (@Heyo)

A: That’s a fun idea, we’ll make it happen!


Q: Anybody else thinks that Skeleton - Spear skull’s [Rush Forward!] skill is a bit OP?

A: We’re always attempting to create new fun skills, but in this case it seems like most of you thought that this particular skill was a bit overpowered. We’ll try to balance this out while still keeping the fun aspect alive.


Q: Can we have randomized maps?

A: This is a huge development task and doesn’t align with the gaming experience we want to deliver with our game. That being said, we don’t have any plans of adding this feature at the moment.


Q: Can we have ‘finished’ items that can be made with certain item recipes?

A: Another great opinion! We’ll look into having powerful items that can be made with combining certain items together.


Q: Any plans for achievements?

A: No worries, we’re going to have achievements!


Q: Can we have a UI that tells me how far along I am with my run?

A: We’re thinking of clever ways of showing users their level progression during their run. We’ll make sure to think of one and implement it by our official launch.


Once again we thank you all so much for supporting us in the form of playtime and feedback, we’ll try our best to deliver a fun gaming experience by adding new contents and developing different features.

Cheers!

Duration: 4/29 00:00 PST ~ 5/13 00:00 PST

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1147560/Skul_The_Hero_Slayer/

Hello! This is SouthPAW Games, the development team for “Skul: The Hero Slayer”.

First of all, we’d like to thank you once again for being a part of this community. All of the feedback we’ve received has been extremely insightful and helped us to both improve the Early Access version of the game and also prepare it for the full launch. These first two months of EA in particular have helped us to choose our path going forward. And now that we’ve decided exactly what content needs to be added before the full launch, we’re finally ready to present our Development Roadmap for “Skul: The Hero Slayer” to you.

We’re going to try and add as much new content as possible during the Early Access period. We’ll also do our best to polish the existing content based on your feedback until the game’s full release.
When considering the amount of content we have planned and the time it will take to develop that, we’re expecting to officially release the game sometime in October.
With that being said, we’ve also started to work on the PS4 and Switch ports. We’ll continue development of them in parallel with the PC version and hope to release the console versions soon after the full launch on Steam.

Our main focus is to double down on what makes Skul fun, all the while improving upon its underwhelming aspects.

Battles Kicked Up A Notch

Picking up skulls and items will come faster and easier than ever before. Also depending on your luck, you can get much stronger at the beginning of the game. This should ratchet the tension up a notch and make for even more exciting battles.

New Event

The little skeleton will be helped in a wide range of ways after rescuing its demon brethren or meeting other helpful characters.
We also plan on reforming the Witch’s Trait System for the full version. You’ll have much more to choose from and be able to improve the character more strategically. This should provide for even more varied and interesting battles.

Even More Drama

We’ll be adding a wide range of skulls, skills and items going forward. You’ll also experience special effects thanks to the “Set Effect System” we plan on implementing.
A keyword system will provide new and diverse effects that will strengthen your character and give you even more ways to take out the Imperial Army.

Wrapping Up The Story

The adventure of the little skeleton is drawing close to its climax.
You’ll soon find out how the story ends and also learn more about Harmonia’s past thanks to the memories of the undead skeleton.

We’ve said this before, but “Skul: The Hero Slayer” really is a game that’s being shaped by this community. We’re paying close attention to your opinions and that’s really helped us to paint a clear picture in our minds of how this game’s development should progress going forward.

With that in mind, this announcement is just a summarization of all the main points we wanted to share with you. There are countless other opinions and ideas that we couldn’t address here, but you can be rest assured that your voices are being heard and we’re working tirelessly to bring the best version of Skul to you that we can.
We can’t wait to continue down this path together with you all. Thanks everyone!

Hey Skul Squad,
This patch is focused on ‘System Optimization’ just like we previously promised to update. And while it’s still not perfect, you should experience improved and stabler gameplay during the EA period.
As for the next update, we’re planning on adding new content based on your feedback up to this point.
