Can you believe it's now been one month since Rocket launched on Steam? I've been very happy with the results so far and wanted to help highlight all the recent additions to the game. Since Rocket launched on February 19th, the game has gotten the following new features and updates:

• New Game Mode called Arcade
  
• New Rocket Weapon & Bomb Weapons (Dual Rockets & Rocket Bomb)
  
• Controller Setup - Which to change which button does what? Now you can!
  
• 3 New Steam Achievements. 15 in Total Now!
  
• New Mouse Option for Mouse & Keyboard Users that let you auto-fire your weapon by just holding down the Click Button on your Mouse.
  
• Game now fully supports up to 5 Local Players (Keyboard Player + 4 Controllers) with Drop In/Out Multiplayer anywhere in the game by default.
  
• Menus have been reorganized to be better adjusted
  
• Steam Deck Docked option/mode added to help support when Steam Deck is docked
  
• Various graphical & gameplay changes and improvements

This is just 1 of many new updates you can expect for the next few months. You will be able to find new game modes, enemies, achievements, ship upgrades and overall features added. But here is what is in the cards right now:

Survive Mode - This will be similar to Arcade Mode, you start with nothing. Here you are given limited resources & no rocket regen. You will need to survive X amount of time in each level to advance to the next level. Every time you survive a level, you will be given a popup allowing you to choose 1 of 3 Ship Upgrade options. Each new Level takes a little more time and your rockets will be refilled. Don't have to defeat all the enemies or asteroids here, just need to survive and get out of harms way long enough to advance to the next level. This should make for some fun challenging gameplay. Expect to be able to play this new game mode sometime by May or June.

New Ship Upgrades - You can expect several new fun Ship Upgrades to come to the game in the next few months. These will be sprinkled throughout the various weekly updates to the game. Here are some of the various new upgrades in the works:

• Shield - A protective upgrade that temporarily prevents you from taking damage
  
• Score Multiplier - An upgrade that will increase the Score you get in the game at the cost of having the game be harder.
  
• New Weapon Options - Need I say more?

Fun Visual Mode Unlock - A fun new retro visual look is in the works for the game that can be unlocked. This will make the game look and feel like a classic game from the 70s & 80s.

Greetings, Brave Ones!

In this Dev Diary installment, we are lifting the veil of secrecy and introducing a new location that will soon become available - Castle Bran.

Ancient tapestries and portraits conceal the terrible secret of its owners. In the spacious halls and dark corners of Bran, there has always been an underground struggle. But for many years now, one dynasty has ruled this place. Rumor has it that its members can miraculously preserve their youth.



For many years, Castle Bran has become a symbol of prosperity, but recently it was discovered that the residents of entire villages have disappeared. All traces led to this place, but where could all these people have gone? What are those marks visible on the floor? And where did all these vile creatures come from?



Many rooms of the castle are filled with forbidden books containing cursed knowledge, traces of inhuman tortures and experiments. The air is filled with the smell of evil and decadence.



Do you already feel the goosebumps? We are confident that the battles within the walls of Bran will bring you plenty of unforgettable emotions! Stay with us, follow the news, and get ready to discover new secrets on the pages of our diary.

I've spent most of the past week working on some new content & features that I don't want to discuss for spoiler reasons, so I thought this would be a good time to conduct a player survey.

Specifically, I want to ask players how they're feeling about the current amount of content in game, and the types of content they'd like to see more of.

If you have finished playing either Icarus (the current default build) or Jupiter (the latest opt-in beta), please take a minute to answer this quick survey.

Also, as usual, here's an update of what I worked on this past week:

• Finished work on the hidden side quest I mentioned last week
  
• Started refactoring a combat feature in anticipation of making it a player accessible weapon
  
• Continued work with Moritz on new tracks

Until next week!

Today, we would like to tell you more about one of the key mechanics in Deathbound. Morphstrike is a powerful attack created from the combined forces of fallen warriors in your party. The Deathbound demo is now available again, so below, we will explain everything about this devastating attack and one of the most crucial mechanics in the game.



Let's start from the beginning. During combat and perfectly timed dodges, you charge the SYNC bar shared among all fallen warriors in your party. The sync level decreases when switching warriors during dodges and attacks, so you must manage the collected SYNC wisely. Collect it by attacking enemies and executing perfect dodges, then use it at the proper moments.



When the sync bar fills up completely, it will ignite the collected essences. This is your sign that you can unleash the devastating attack - it's time for Morphstrike. Each of the seven Fallen Warriors available in the game has its own Morphstrike attack, and you get to choose which character within your party will execute it. All you have to do is switch to another warrior during the attack or select the button responsible for switching to the character with the most stamina.



We have also prepared a special infographic to take you step-by-step through one of the key mechanics in Deathbound. Remember that you can now play the updated Deathbound demo and try Morphstrikes on your own at Lower Streets of Akratya.



As you await the launch of Deathbound later this year, you can begin crafting an unbreakable synergy now by wishlisting Deathbound on Steam and joining the official Deathbound Discord server.
