The new massive update significantly overhauls the entire pet development system in Pocket Rogues. Now each improvement will be much more meaningful, and each of your pets will be much more unique and customizable.
In addition, in update 1.36 improved multiplayer (yes, it's still in Beta): now you can play with three players, and you can create rooms in two more locations!



[GAMEPLAY]
- Each pet, in addition to the standard ability, now has 4 slots for additional ones (such as Immortality or Vampirism), which can be freely combined. New slots will become available after leveling up the pet, and new abilities can be obtained by defeating monster champions and mini-bosses in dungeons
- All pet abilities have 3 levels and can be improved with skill points and gems
- Unlocking unique perks, such as new Obsidian Tower mods or item blueprints, are now displayed on the summary screen
- Pets and mercenaries (but not summoned creatures) can now be set to one of five behaviors: normal, defensive, aggressive, hold current position, and ignore enemies. The type of behavior affects the movement speed of the creature and the radius in which it notices enemies
- Barrels and troughs with water can now be used to restore some of the HP (the water from the trough has a chance to poison the character)
- Minimap size can now be customized


[GENERATION]
- Added new Ambush
- Added new Treasury
- With a 20% chance, instead of a regular altar, a "cursed" version of it may appear: in order to use it, you must first defeat several waves of monsters

[MULTIPLAYER]
- "Burial Mound" and "Adamantite Garden" locations are now available for creating rooms in multiplayer (Ultimate version required)
- Added the ability to create rooms for three players (Ultimate version required)
- Added the ability to change the connection server (three regions are available: Europe, USA and Asia)
- Clicking on the character icon in the lobby will display the nickname of the player who created the room
- Improved multiplayer stability


[BALANCE]

- Level of mini-bosses accessed through gates in the Obsidian Tower is no longer tied to the level of bosses between floors
- The base stats of pets have been increased, and the improvement of each of them is now more effective
- "Immortality" of pets now works a limited number of times, after which the pet will disappear until the next visit to the Camp (the resurrection counter is reset if the creature is alive when visiting the Camp or if the player used Decoction of Blackgrass)
- Decoction of Blackgrass can be dropped from more monsters
- Pet "Lynx" no longer has the standard ability "Collect Coins" (this ability is available for purchase and use by any pet)
- Pet "Golem" no longer has the standard ability "Resistance to diseases" (this ability is available for purchase and use by any pet)
- Creature ability "Vampirism" is now calculated according to the damage dealt, instead of the base damage
- Mutually exclusive ring effects can no longer be generated on the same ring
- The cost of all improvements to the Menagerie building above level 1 has been increased
- Base HP of "Grim Paladin" boss reduced from 635 to 540
- Increased the cost of selling blacksmith stones and ingots
- Blueprints no longer drop if the player has completed less than 12 raids

[MISC]
- Equipped shields, books and grimoires are now displayed on the character
- Appearance of pets now changes when they reach levels 15 and 30 (previously it happened after levels 10 and 25)
- Changed minimap icons for chests and stairs
- Objects like sacks and small crates (which never drop loot) are no longer displayed on the minimap
- Added the ability to quickly enable/disable sound effects and music in Settings
- Updated appearance of Altar of Battle, Altar of Defence and Altar of Fighting Spirit
- Updated tab icons in the Bestiary
- Added alternate floor view for Crypt of Emptiness
- Passive items can now only be sold one at a time
- To move the camera to an ally, its icon now needs to be held for more than 0.2 seconds (normal pressing opens the menu for setting the behavior of the satellite)


[FIXED]
- When visiting the Lost Tomb with "Downworld Expanses" or "Brave Downworld" modifier active, the game could freeze
- Players might experience a black screen when entering the Treasury in a group raid
- When minimizing the game during loading, a black screen could occur
- When switching between the game and other windows, the entire screen, except for the interface, could turn black until the next restart of the game
- The effect "Stun" did not affect the player's characters
- Drawings of some items disappeared when transferring the save to a new device
- Multiple passive items could sometimes be stacked in one inventory slot
- When choosing a second item in the Forge, items that were not suitable for combining were not darkened
- When upgrading items with standard effects in the Forge, the total number of free sockets for effects could be less than it should be

- Minimap zoom was reset when going to the next floor
- Improved optimization and fixed many small bugs

Ello Otters!

I am happy to announce that Chapter 4 of Matrix Hearts is fully written, and I am working on programming! And while I am working on the next season of the game, we also have updates to work toward for this current season.

The animation refresh was supposed to launch this afternoon, but there were a few things that we realized we had to fix.

+While no one had noticed the issue, there is a huge one that involves not being able to name your bird if you are on that route. I could have fixed this without telling anyone, but that's not the Otter way!

+The current heart route with Layla and the route with Xia needs a slight rework. The hearts aren't adding up to correct paths and achievements, and we want to fix these because, you know, romance game, romance girls.

I could have waited for the in-game phone update, but it felt more appropriate to fix these as soon as possible, so this update feels like the best. There is going to be a light push to August 12th (ish) for the release of the update to include these otterly-amazing things.

And if you want otterly-amazing, Steam cards are coming on the 12th as well featuring anime graphics for your favorite girls!

Hey wall diggers,

We are working like bees creating this DLC for Wall World. And we want to show some things we’ve already done.

Wall World: Deep Threat will bring you new epic tiers and biomes, dangerous bosses, powerful weapons, helpful relics and upgrades, and even more secrets buried in the Wall. Prepare to drill really deep!

Here is just a small piece of everything that awaits you in the Deep Threat DLC:


Among the new ones – a zyrex with ranged attacks, moving only by jumping:


One of them is the Chemical Weapon, which fires gas bombs in a ballistic trajectory. The bombs explode on impact with enemies and leave clouds of gas at the site of the explosions, causing minor damage to enemies:


Take a look at Jump in Place. With this upgrade, the player gains the ability for the spider to jump off the wall and fall to the same place, damaging nearby enemies:





Regarding the bosses, all we can say is that you should be brave and well-armored, because their rage and power increase after each fight.

One of the bosses you'll encounter is named Zeus. Despite both of you being pretty similar, don't underestimate their might:



We prefer to keep the rest of the content a secret until the DLC release. Let us know what you think about this stuff 💥

And, of course, don’t forget to add Wall World: Deep Threat to your wishlist to stay tuned and not miss its release:
