Ladies and Gents,

We stream development frequently on twitch, if you wish to check us up go to https://www.twitch.tv/panicartstudios/

You are free to come by and ask any questions and we will try our best to give you answers! We also take suggestions and like to talk about how to improve the game!!

Hello!

We have been working quietly and hard for the past 4 months. We are soon ready for public beta on the update, but are still polishing a few things!


Items
Ton of hand crafted items and more stat varieties like cold damage, lightning damage, poison damage, mana per second, hp per second, mana after kill, hp after kill, magic find etc etc.



Runes
Runes are no longer upgraded or have a star rating. Runes are what they are and can be equipped into weapons as well as the new gems!



Satanic Upgrades
Since we capped ilevel and hand crafted satanics to suite different classes and playstyles we added a way to upgrade the item 10 times to have a sense of progression!



New Enemies
We have been adding quite a lot of new stuff in the game, including new enemies :)



More area varity
There will be a bunch of unique dungeons tied to a specific act and zone where specific stuff like runes drop more frequently.



Art improvements
All the boss lairs now have a really unique feeling and atmosphere along with the game overall. All weapons in the game can be seen on your hero when equipped, and they all have unique attack animations too! :)




Shield Lancer
We are also launching a new class "Shield Lancer" with the 3.0 patch!



Stay tuned for more updates!

So hard work, sleepless nights and overall stress has paid off, we have pretty much finished doing all the weapon animations so you can expect to show off your swaggy weapon in 3.0 to everyone ;)





We are also adding plenty of new zone specific dungeons where you can farm for certain stuff, for example the "Old Tower" in ACT 1 Zone 4 has 3 levels with a "miniboss" that drops runes with the highest chance in the game.

We wanna put more weight on different areas in the game, so the player can do more than just grind wormholes. Also "Magic Find" stat is added to the game, to increase drop chance for special items.

Networking engine re-work now enables players to have individual gaming experiences within the same game. The host no longer determines where you can go and when you have to leave a certain place, you can now just venture on your own while chatting with other players and join them via town portal if you wish!

All weapons also have unique sound work done to them for the best audio-visual feedback.

We are working hard on the 3.0 for Hero Siege.

Currently we are re-writing the networking code and working on rest of the weapon attack animations etc. The Networking code re-write will feature the system where clients are no longer host dependent, everyone can go wherever in the game they please so if the host leaves a zone the clients wont longer follow the host.

What we have already done:

- Cleaned all the code in the game, removed around 10000 lines of useless code.
- Ported Hero Siege from GMS1 to GMS2
- Made loading and saving 10 times faster
- Made animations for every weapon in the game by hand, yes pixel art in this is kinda crappy since you cant just make a model and put it into a skeleton like in 3D
- Improved a boat load of things in the game art, sound and game play wise.



Here are the notes for what they are now, we will have a longer list closer to beta:

- Whole game engine re-programmed for better performance
- Max level lowered to 100
- All loot is now hand crafted, no more spell weapons with strength etc.
- Due to new loot statistics and hand crafting there is now way more variety in the game!
- Weapons now have types, and only specific classes can use specific types
- Removed Chest / Helm synergies from the game.
- You can now shoot 360 degrees, any direction you desire.
- Saving and Loading improved for faster speed.

New winds are blowing....

We have transfered Hero Siege from Game Maker Studio to Game Maker Studio 2 and since we need to do quite the clean up we decided to do a really BIG clean up, so practically re-write the game again.

Over the years starting from being beginners in programming, making the game for 6 years and picking new skills and logical thinking the game has become a layered mess of new systems on top of old systems and newer systems on top of new systems. It's really hard to add content and fix bugs since many things are done in multiple places.

- Better performance, higher FPS
- Getting rid of the multiplayer problems and bugs in the process. Since systems will be implemented better and smarter, the whole multiplayer code will be optimized for maximum performance.
- More frequent balancing which is now 100 times easier and faster to do since everything is managed by 1 script instead of 4-5 different scripts.
- Easier to add content such as new enemies, items etc.
- Faster work pace for us developers.

Sorry if the text is confusing, Its 7 AM and I still havent completely woken up yet. Anyways good things are coming! :) Cheers, and thank you for supporting the game!!!

- 360 direction attacking, we will get rid of the 4 direction combat.
- Bigger view scale to get rid of distorted pixels in 4K screens etc.
- Completely new item art and item system
- More things to craft!
- More exciting things... more later ;)

-Kudos, Elias
