This is it, folks, the last support patch for Devil Spire 1. It's been a wild two years, a lot has happened and a lot has changed (all for the better)! And none of it would've happened without your support. It was a pleasure creating a game you could love together with my bros, but we don't plan on stopping now, or ever! Look forward to our future projects, including what you're thinking of!

CHANGELOG

• New Steam Points Shop Items, mostly Avatars of the player characters!
  
• Armor now CHINKS when you step, the heavier the armor type, the louder it'll be!
  
• You can now combine weapons with shields to repair them, and vice versa. Combining to repair now also works between all armor types. Also, combining Accessories now works for all kinds of them, with whacky effects.
  
• Skeletons will now politely add the gold coins you get from them inside your moneybags, instead of giving you a whole new bag with ~4 coins, if they can.
  
• You can now re-cast the Plague spell to end it, for no MP cost.
  
• Added an option for turning off the Bloody Screen effect.
  
• Cursed Skulls now spawn in Chaos even if the first room is a boss one.
  
• The curse of Exposure (always aggro) now no longer aggroes shopkeepers and vampires.
  
• Removed special boss room checks from the boss doors, so you can now destroy them with the Demolition power with no issues!
  
• Replaced the "Can't Lockpick" message when trying to open a locked chest without a key, but with lockpicks, with "Needs Key", for better clarity.
  
• Fixed a rare crash caused by Fireballs and (a lot of) lag.
  
• Fixed another rare crash caused by Cursed Skulls and dying.
  
• Fixed not being able to back out of the credits in the title screen with a gamepad not on the first slot.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the game to freeze on excessively large levels, like the ones in the 300+ floor range of the infinite modes.
  
• Finally, all crash-causing bugs in the Chaos game mode have been fixed!
  
• Other minor fixes and improvements.

We'll still fix any critical game-breaking bugs you find, just report them to us and we'll fix them as soon as we can!

Thank you for everything, and see you all again very soon (or on Discord, I'm not dead or anything)!

Hello, Wizardling Folk!
We are overjoyed to announce that 100,000 players have become wizards with guns. From everyone on our team, it's really a dream come true that so many people are enjoying our game.

To celebrate, our friends at Devolver Digital have released a new video about Wizard with a Gun's development. They joined us at our home base in Seattle, Washington, for a rootin' tootin' grand ol' time. Long before this game, we worked on all sorts of projects like Rust Belt, Gurgamoth, and even a battle royal in the Cyanide and Happiness universe. We've come a long way from those days.




Even though we're proud of what we've built, we still have a lot more planned and a lot more work to do! There are a bunch of ways that we want to improve and add to Wizard with a Gun. If you played the single-player demo, you may have noticed that we've already implemented several changes based on your feedback. We want to continue listening and improving so this game can provide more depth and more spell-crafting adventures.

We're starting today with a fresh update. Alongside a bunch of fixes and new features, as a special thank you, we’re adding three Halloween costume sets to the game for a limited time!

If you were part of our early Beta, you’ll notice a couple of missing features. Keep an eye on the roadmap for future updates (and keep your secrets to yourself, please)!

Check out the full list of changes in this latest update below.

Spells and Powders

• The Oil trial should be a little less extreme
  
• Updated Spell VFX for all spells

Resources, Recipes, Crafting and Building

• There are three Halloween Costume Sets!
  
• There should be updated sounds for building and deconstruction
  
• Wood should be the correct size when dropped
  
• The research mechana should no longer have missing sounds
  
• Added First Edition entries for mechana, and statues that were missing
  
• Information on bullets should now disappear when you close the loading bench
  
• Lightning station and lightning furnace should now be the correct scale and use the correct variant models

Enemies, NPCs and Combat

• Young Joshua should now show all possible gun unlocks.
  
• Plenty of Enemies should have more sounds!
  
• Some enemies should now have visible fear status
  
• Hilda should be more visible in the first tutorial island (for those who just walked right by her!)

General Bugs and Visual Fixes

• HUD ui should stay in place, no matter how rough you get damaged
  
• Corsair items should now all have consistent naming in English
  
• Falling into the void should only play the drop animation once on the wizard
  
• The chests in the Shatter should now have the correct size
  
• There should no longer be a significant delay during certain transitions on the Chronomancer’s wheel
  
• There should now be collision on soul tethers
  
• There is a randomize button in the character creator
  
• Sound has been fixed for “Hot” and “Cold” states in certain biomes
  
• Gear drops should now reflect the UI in the Chronomancer’s wheel
  
• Statue of flora should now have a map icon
  
• Statues of flora should no longer be deconstructible (you monsters!)
  
• The chest will no longer silence the music when you open it

Those arid cliffs are the canyons, the only part of the overworld you'll probably see. Once there, the sun will be your main concern. Shadows are scarce, and your only allies will be the birds. Using them to get to the other side of the canyon will be your main objective in this time limited race against the clock.



Getting outside is a challenge, but you'll probably need to get out during your journey. Not every cave gets you deeper, sometimes you need to think outside the box to go deeper!

About future content:

-We finally launched, and we are deploying bugfixes since then.
-The main goal is reworking a little the signs and feedbacks of the possession mechanics.
-Some asked about an English voice acted version, we will probably get a voice actor later, once we fixed most of the bugs reported during the feedback phase.

Thanks for all your support everyone!

Zero Hour Update Part 4.5 introduces a brand new PvP game mode called "Deathmatch Free-For-All," along with visual enhancements to the game lobby and various improvements to the gameplay system. The update will also address various bugs and refine the overall gaming experience.

---

This new PvP mode offers a unique style of play within Zero Hour's existing movement and gunplay system. It's designed to provide a more casual gaming experience, allowing players to kick back and enjoy the action after intense sessions of realistic modes. In this mode, you spawn with your preferred weapon and engage anyone within your line of sight. Classic Zero Hour features remain, such as weapon swapping when eliminating opponents, and the use of the breaker switch to control lights. However, this time, players will be prompted to equip Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) for the entire duration of the match when the lights go out.





The lobby screen has been revamped to enhance the overall immersion of the experience. Players and their squad mates are now shown sitting inside a SWAT van, terrorist van, helicopter, or boat, depending on their team. This adds life to the lobby screen and makes waiting for players to join a less monotonous and more engaging experience. You can easily start conversations, chill with your mates, and create a more laid-back pre-game atmosphere. When the match starts, player characters exit the vehicle, signaling the beginning of the round.

In Co-op lobbies, we've strived for simplicity and coziness, without compromising on details. The inclusion of a table with files on top conveys a sense of tactical assignment, further enhancing the overall immersion. With this new lobby screen, we aim to provide players with a well-rounded and enjoyable gaming experience, from strategy planning to friendly banter.



Instead of a simple loud bass sound upon death, Zero Hour now features a more immersive death screen. After being eliminated, your character will fall while maintaining a squinted vision, and the camera will gradually rotate toward the direction you were killed from, giving you some insight into how you died.



You can now finally continue playing consecutive matches with the same teams. Players can also vote on the next map they'd like to play. As we continue to fine-tune this feature, please note that there is currently no voting for game modes. However, we're actively working on implementing a voting system that will grant you the freedom to select the modes you desire, offering even more flexibility and control over your gaming sessions.



While playing PvP without an anti-cheat system has always been an option, this update will make it visible in the server browser. This ensures that everyone is able to find a game that suits their preferences.



In response to the challenges faced by newcomers to navigate the pitch-black darkness when the lights go out during a match, we've introduced an eye adaptation feature. This addition allows players to gradually regain visibility up to a certain range, providing security for those who might otherwise exit the match due to disorientation. This feature ensures that even without Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) or flashlights, players can carry on with the match and, when possible, restore the lights. This not only benefits newcomers but also those who may have overlooked equipping with NVGs and flashlights.



The lighting in Rats Den has been redone with the objective of enriching the atmosphere and aligning it more closely with our original vision. Warm, orange lighting now complements the dark spaces, creating a more eerie and unsettling environment. It's important to note that Rats Den is still awaiting the introduction of NPCs, which will further elevate the immersion.


As Zero Hour continues to evolve and grow, we remain committed to refining and expanding the game to meet the expectations of both new and seasoned players. Stay tuned for further developments and enhancements as we work to provide you with the ultimate tactical gaming experience. We hope you enjoy the new game mode as much as we do. Thank you for your invaluable support and feedback, and for being part of this incredible journey.
