October patch with halloween event

Torins Towers: Rise of Heroes - TowersDev

Halloween Event:

As mentioned before we are hosting a one week halloween event.
It comes with 4 event maps and a bunch of event quests. The progress will only be count on event maps!
With completing quests you get some loot and additionally event currency.
This currency can be used in the event shop to buy Skins, gems and potions.
So play every difficulty of each map to find all hidden pumpkins and finish all quests!
We hope you enjoy it and happy halloween!

Coop Gamemode:

We implemented a new multiplayer game mode: Coop
In coop, you don't fight against each other, but you play WITH your friend to beat the AI
You can play it by using invite friends feature (to play with your friends) or use the new matchmaking queue for coop

New Profile Window:

We improved the profile window where you can not only equip your consumables, but now .. everything!
Hero stats now show the calculation. You can see the base stats, how much you already skilled and for armor how much damage it will reduce.
There are now also buttons for the hero spells and on consumables (under Items -> In game). When you click on them, a popup appears with more detailed information of what this spell/consumable do and a little example video, showing how it works and looks.
We also improved usage of exp potions. There is more information displayed such as how much exp you get and how many levels you get from using spezific amounts.

New Friend Invite Window:

To introduce coop, we also reworked the whole invite window to handle both gamemodes
As a host you can decide, besides the map, which gamemode to play. There are two buttons and the grayed one is the current selected
The gamemode and map selection is now synced for other players too!

Balancing:

Nerved knights, -10 damage on all levels and -10 health on each upgrade
Defense potion buffed from 40 to 100 armor
Increased speed of Ion's stun spell animation
Adjust the damage size of the flamthrower in total chaos
AI evades flamethrower and monster better
AI interacts with the event circle and force fields

Gameplay Improvements:

Swapped Ion's spells, now his Q is his Stun and lightning strike his ult. Also adjusted mana and cooldown values
Your hero has a new unique selection circle
Ion's ult circle got a visual upgrade
Selection of units now won't have a triangle above, but instead the circle below will turn green
Shooting tower can see much further than other building types
Units and shooting tower now have a visible attack range which gets shown when selected (only for ranged units and single selected)

Overlay Improvements:

The stars for levels got a new look
Library button moved from profile window to options
Updated the look of item duration bar ingame
Spells should now always be visible also on uncommen screen sizes
The multiplayer window and matchmaking information is now also available in german
When you use your potion, the button dissapears ingame
When your hero dies, your abilities are grayed out to show they are currently not useable

Worldmap:

Worldmap Hero now uses the current skin equipped
When opening the shop in Profilewindow, the shop will appear in front of it

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug where Ion's spell could be heared and seen in the fog of war
Fixed a bug where Torin's ult didn't play a sound when he started it in the fog of war and then were visible
Shop Tab won't restart animating when re-opening the shop
Fixed a bug where the game crashed when you had Ion equipped and startet the hero tutorial
Fixed not updating description info when using radial menu and staying on the element

UPDATE 3, A 50% SALE, AND DOUBLE SHARDS!

Midnight Ghost Hunt - Skedog

Hey Ghosts and Hunters,

We have a spooky surprise for you today! Update 3 (The Halloween Update) brings a bunch of new stuff to MGH! Just a quick note before we get started though, we are shifting our Update strategy a bit to have somewhat smaller, but more frequent updates.

We hope by doing this, we can bring you new content faster, even if that means the updates don't always contain a new map. Our plan currently is for any additional content to be an update, and of course we will continue to do the smaller patches we have been doing for small additions and bug fixes. So while this update doesn't contain a big new map like our other updates, we still have some really cool stuff to share!

50% SALE AND DOUBLE SHARD WEEK

I can hardly think of a more appropriate way to get ready for Halloween than playing some sweet, spooky games. For those of you who have been haunting the Steam page waiting for a sale, you’re in luck! MGH is now 50% off as part of Steam’s Scream Fest sale. To welcome all our new players aboard our ghostly little carnival ride, we’ll also be granting double the normal amount of Ghost Shards throughout this whole week for all players.

HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS AND NEW HERO PROPS

In the spirit of the season, we’ve got a spooky surprise! We’ve decorated all the maps and the van, so you can better appreciate this spooktacular time of year. We’ve also added three new Hero Props for you all to enjoy.

Chomping Pumpkin - Much like our mimic chest friend, this pumpkin will have no problem taking a bite or two out of you

Pumpkin Jack-in-the-box - Is the hammer from our regular Jack-in-the-box too aggressive for you? How about launching pumpkin guts at them instead?

Witch Doll - Who needs a knife when you have a broom? Zoom across the maps and bonk the hunters to your hearts content

NEW EXPERIMENTAL GAME MODE - DARKNESS

Darkness is our brand new experimental darker and slower-paced MGH experience. You have 15 minutes to midnight, and the lights are greatly reduced, which makes flashlights a requirement. Hunters have limited ammo and a slower overall movement speed as well, which forces less of a run-and-gun play style.

You all have been asking for something like this for a while, and we finally have something we feel is a good enough start so you all can start giving us your thoughts. We will be keeping a very close eye on feedback for this new game-mode in a dedicated channel on our Discord, and adjusting as needed. Please keep in mind this is very experimental, so things might break or not look as good on some maps, we will be improving it over time.

You can checkout this game-mode by setting up a custom server and selecting darkness from the drop-down, or join an existing darkness game via the server browser. This will not be accessible via quick-play for now, but that may change in the future.

RANDOM LEVEL VARIATION

Another highly requested feature has been random maps variations. When you boot up Mansion now, you have a random chance for the attic to be closed off, and instead a new path opens to the all new Wine Cellar. This will add a more dynamic element to matches that will add a bit of excitement and variation as players need to adjust their tactics. We are trying this out with just this one variation first to see how you all feel about it before we ramp up and do more, so please let us know what you think on Discord and Twitter!

NEW SKINS

Spooky season brings two new fantastic skins to the MGH lineup:

Pumpkin Head Ghost Skin - For all you ghosts and ghouls out there, we’ve also got a wicked new skin for you! Pumpkin Head is a ghastly spectral skin that once donned will find yourself shrouded in a tattered cloak with a Jack-o’-Lantern for a head.

Duck Hunter Skin - If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is…a brand-new Hunter skin. The Duck Hunter skin is a honking cool skin. We definitely recommend you take a quack at it with this one. 🦆

NEW UNLOCKABLE TITLES

We’ve added two new titles for you to strut your stuff with:

Consumed - What spooky season would be complete without some soul consumption? Time to equip Glutton and get to work consuming 250 Hunter souls to unlock this title

Multi-Millionaire - When we added the Millionaire title we thought we were safe for a while...turns out some of you have a lot of Ghost shards sitting around. If you happen to have 10 million of them sitting around, this title is for you! And if not, time to start that grind 😉

That’s it for this time, Ghosts and Hunters! We hope you have a happy Halloween, and we can't wait to show you more of what we are working on with our more frequent updates! Have a great spooky season Ghosts and Hunters, and look out for more updates actually truly soon!

All Halloween In Hell Pie: Halloween Discount and Halloween Costumes! 🎃

Hell Pie - Mamas_Johnny

Trick or treat, platformers!

Sound familiar? Yeah, exactly. It's that time of year again, when hordes of poorly disguised kids stumble from front door to front door, ringing doorbells and yelling "trick or treat." And if the proclaimed sweets are not handed out, they embellish the house with raw eggs. So, at best, with eggs....

And you guessed it: Nate and Nugget are of course at the forefront of such annoying and childish shit! HELL YEAH! 🤘 Ah sorry, it's not Nate and Nugget anymore - it's Johnson and Frederick now:

Both new costumes are available AS OF NOW in Asmodee's shop at Hell Inc. Uhm... and one piece of well-intentioned advice: If our hellish duo ring your doorbell, you'd better open. You've seen what happens to the cute little Unilambs in Hell Pie, right? ...

And in case you missed it: It's spooky Steam Scream Fest time! That's why Frederick made a good use of his bladed gloves and sliced the Hell Pie price by 20%. Good job, Frederick! We are really proud of you!

Happy Helloween with Johnson and Frederick!
Sluggerfly out ❤️
