Hello!

We're introducing some new mods for the Daily Climb this week (and next week, too). There's also good progress going on other content which we're on track to get into beta sometime in October.

We're cleaning, changing, and adding more for Daily Climbs! There's still a few missing assets for the new daily mods but they'll be in soon. The many mods added to the Daily Climb are also accessible via Custom Mode.

The newer icons are higher resolution and some have been reworked for clarity.

We now have support for Indonesian! We're always looking to add new languages. Did you know Slay the Spire is translated into 20 languages? It's pretty great, and all thanks to you! As always, you can speak to localization experts (and us!) at our Discord.

Honestly, this is the greatest thing we started adding to our weekly announcements.

Greetings,

This week's focus continues the trend of adding content to reach our content goals. On top of this, we took some time to examine various cards and relics for balancing. We appreciate your continued patience and feedback!

The main branch gets 4 new relics! The beta branch contains various relics, cards, and events. However,they still require testing, fine tuning, and art assets until they're officially available on the main branch. For our newer players, information on the beta branch can be found here.

Lots! We still want to add (or are currently working on) a Save Slot system, Steam Workshop support, Steam Controller support, improving and adding various VFX, etc etc... and of course NO SPOILERS.

Is the translation for your preferred language missing, lacking, or outdated? Well, the tremendous efforts of community translators are working tirelessly just for you. Help them out! Just visit our official Discord server and hop in the localization section! I'll draw you a cultist in return!

We really enjoy posting these. As always, just ping @MegaCrit if you want your works showcased here!
