Get a first glimpse at the legendary samurai warriors joining our epic saga! In update 2.0.0, we're bringing history to life with 10 incredible heroes. 🗡️

⭐ What to Expect:

▪ A lineup of 10 samurai warriors, each a real historical figure or a folklore legend.
▪ Some heroes will be available right from the release date, while others can be unlocked through special events.
▪ For instance, Goemon Ishikawa can be yours by completing daily quests.

Check out the attached screenshot to meet these legendary figures. Dive into their rich histories and prepare yourself for their arrival. Who will join your journey first?

Gearing up for the upcoming Steam Next Fest with pretty hefty demo update today! ːsteamhappyː

NEW: Collectible “Ball Pile” that shoots out 3 mini balls as soon as it is collected by you or an enemy.


NEW: “Boosting” variant of the Redirector that not only changes a ball’s direction but gives it a hefty speed-up as well.

NEW: Wall spikes now have a chance to spawn as “volatile”. Volatile spikes shoot across the arena as soon as any ball gets spiked on them, potentially killing multiple enemies on their path until they hit an obstacle. (In the last level of a run all spikes become volatile when you’re out of shots and haven’t defeated all enemies yet.)


If you pick up the "Spike Swallower" item you can also use them to bring the healing to you! :D


NEW (Not in the demo, but take it as a full-version teaser :D): Added a bunch of additional run modifiers for daily / wild mode runs, one of my favorites being “mini balls explode on impact”. Fun in combination with the new "Ball Pile" collectible!


A bunch of rather situational items were buffed or changed to make them more generally useful, so that even when you don’t fulfill their full effect’s requirements (yet) they can help you out in a pinch:

• Double Shot could get you into trouble too easily, so now it shoots a mini ball in the direction of your shot instead of shooting yourself again. Tip: Use it to e.g. get rid of those Toxy enemies that would damage you on direct touch.
  
• Rich Collector and Healthy Collector now have a (small) baseline of gold and healing they provide, so they’re not totally useless early in a run.
  
• Whoops now has a small chance to spawn a gem instead of a coin.
  
• Loot Box now gives you 1 gold each level in case you don’t have enough gold to receive a random item yet.
  
• It's Over Nineteen now grants you some shot power in case you don’t have more than 19% yet.

• The tutorial and controls overlay now includes Q/E keys for slow aim rotation when using keyboard and mouse (previously a pretty hidden feature but depending on your mouse accuracy it can be useful for some players in certain situations).
  
• Defeating a boss now only counts as an “enemy defeat” (e.g. for certain item triggers) if it was the last enemy in the level (i.e. it was actually defeated and doesn’t immediately respawn).
  
• When you’re out of shots in the final level, the game now displays a reminder message on screen that you need to clear all enemies to finish the level.
  
• Minor tooltip improvements and bug fixes.

Hope you enjoy these updates and the new toys to play with! If you have suggestions for what else could be added, want to provide feedback, or you found a bug, please drop by the Steam forums, the Discord or let me know via Twitter!

A new item is under work! Last week we worked on the Bear trap! It will bring a great boost to the Guards capability to defend the mansion!ːsteamhappyː

We will make an additional post when it will be added to the beta.

Until next week!

Modding is now officially planned. It's being seriously worked on by Evil Factory, who worked on the pretty cool LuaForBarotrauma mod.

We already started testing custom maps and the Steam Workshop, and things are making some solid progress.



Modding will happen through UnrealEngine tools, which means that you will have access to all of the tools used to make the game to expand or add content to the game. We don't exactly know how much of the original source of the game will be made available to modders, but we will try to make sure the modders have enough freedom to add what they want to the game.

To that end, I'm also looking for modders to early-access the modding, I'm looking for people who want to make mods (not play them). So if you have experience in UnrealEngine, or you are interested in learning, if you have mods before or you want to start, feel free to get in touch on the official Discord.

Last week, we published our Roadmap Update for 2024. We explained our plans for this year: World Expansion III, Endgame Update and, of course - further online co-op development.

While we did mention this in the previous article, we managed to complete a co-op playthrough live on stream. Previously, all our attempts were stifled by bad performance and stability issues. However, this was the first time we managed to complete a full Survival Mode run. Ever since that day, we have been able to do live playthroughs in co-op consistently.

It is a huge milestone for us. It means that all our work, coupled with your feedback and data from the Closed Beta, has brought significant results. We're excited beyond belief - and for that reason we want to share this again. Give this video a watch, as we answer quite a lot of questions about the co-op development, the nature of the universe, and everything.



If you would like to watch future streams live, join us at www.twitch.tv/exorstudios every Tuesday and Thursday at 3 PM CET. We sometimes do random, unscheduled streams on other weekdays, which we announce on our Discord: www.discord.gg/exorstudios.


We would also like to inform you that The Riftbreaker is currently available at -40% on Steam. Also, thanks to a collaboration with the awesome people at Far From Home, you can get The Riftbreaker in a bundle with Forever Skies.

Forever Skies is a first-person post-apocalyptic survival game. You are a lone scientist returning to Earth, ravaged by an ecological disaster. Once there, you’ll get to fly, upgrade, and customize a mobile high-tech airship base as you explore. Scavenge resources, upgrade your tools and abilities and descend beneath the toxic dust that has enveloped Earth as you hunt for viral pathogens to complete your mission.

And remember, if you already own The Riftbreaker, you can still use the bundle to get an additional 15% off from Forever Skies.

Have a good week!
