Patch Notes 1.13 - More Randomizer OptionsMay 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.13 New Randomizer Options With this patch we are adding 3 highly requested randomizer options that you can opt into when starting a new campaign, which are as follows: Random Passives: When promoting or class changing, units will receive a random passive in the slot for that class tier Random Abilities: When promoting or class changing, units will receive a random ability in the slot for that class tier Random Loot: When killing an enemy with loot or looting a chest, that loot will be randomized I think these are our most fun randomizer additions yet, can't wait to see what goofy things happen in your campaigns with these now available! I am a big fan personally of random loot in particular, as it really changes the meta progression in significant ways. Changes Significantly improved performance optimization in base and premap, particularly for lower end devices Significantly improved performance optimization in general gameplay, particularly for lower end devices Fixes Fixed a variety of issues with unit interaction Fixed an issue where the rings menu was incorrectly displaying multiple rings in the same slot Patch Notes 1.12Apr 23, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.12 Changes Significantly improved performance optimization in combat scenes improved performance optimization in the world map and base improved performance optimization for on-map gameplay Fixes Fixed an issue that allowed the final boss to move in unintended ways, potentially crashing the game Fixed a variety of issues with unit interaction and battlesaving Fixed issues with Wreathed in Flame and post battle interaction Fixed issues with Repulsor Shield and post battle interaction Fixed issues with Bleed and post battle interaction Fixed issues with units dying on Demonic and not causing a game over in certain cases Fixed an issue with the side objective for 0 unit deaths not ticking in certain cases Patch Notes 1.11Apr 11, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.11 Fixed an issue where battlesaving and loading in certain circumstances could lead to not getting the proper post level scene Fixed a crash where giving inputs to both attack and cancel action could crash the game under certain circumstances Fixed an issue where clicking through levelup screens could alter the fast forward functionality as well Fixed an issue with the titan rune decreasing accuracy by the wrong amount Fixed an issue where celerity was not applying its power reduction Fixed an issue with the vicious rune having slightly incorrect value reductions Fixed an issue where divine flow was decrementing stacks for ALL units with the ability active Fixed a potential crash with the game trying to draw non existent enemies to the screen Fixed an issue where casting an ability that brought you back to the action menu could default to the wrong menu slot and make it easy to accidentally end turn instead of acting Fixed an issue with the hurricane ring not applying its effects when equipped in prebattle Changed one of the upgrades for 'Bloodstroke' so that it doesn't have 3 of the same option There are some issues right now with post-battle damage effects like bleed and 'wreathed in flame', as well as when both units in the combat die due to either those effects or 'repulsor shield'. Particularly this can bypass the death scripts and cause some unintended functionality like the resurrection ability failing to target that unit or not receiving a wound/ending the level on Demonic difficulty. If you run into one of these things - I am working on getting it fixed but want to be careful around pushing changes for it to the live build since there are so many different ways that these scripts interact. When I've had time to properly test it and make sure all is well I'll have a fix out for it soon! Patch Notes 1.10Apr 6, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.10 Fixed an issue where the new options from patch 1.09 were loading their functionality in reverse (auto fast forward was loading the longer levelups option state and vice versa) Fixed an issue where the water in chapter 25 could be teleported onto Fixed an issue with the Ravager Winds snaring upgrade applying blind Fixed an issue with the Astral Reckoning snaring upgrade not applying Fixed an issue with the Breaker snaring upgrade not applying Fixed an issue with the Lightning Strike snaring upgrade not applying Fixed an issue with the Enchant Weapon cleansing upgrade not functioning Fixed an issue with chapter 12 not ending upon defeating the route boss (the big one) - which could also then lead to a crash. Fixed an issue where buying the lowest item in the shop then attempting to buy the empty slot could cause a crash on controller Fixed an issue where selling the lowest item in the shop then attempting to sell the empty slot could cause a crash on controller Patch Notes 1.09 - Some Small New FeaturesApr 3, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.09 Took a small ~1 day hiatus from bug fixing to add some of the most highly requested features, and will be returning so fixing things up now! Hope you have fun with the new additions! New Options There is now a toggleable option to make it so your levelups don't auto advance. Stare at them as long as you like! There is now a toggleable option to make it so fast forward is automatically on. It is still changeable with a click, but for any case where fast forward is appropriate, it will begin on with this option toggled. New Campaign Customizations Shuffled Unit Aptitudes: This randomly adjusts each individual unit's aptitudes, swapping them around randomly. Shuffled Unit Passives: This creates a pool of all 20 unit passives and assigns them at random to the team. Shuffled Unit Personals: This creates a pool of all 20 unit personal active abilities and assigns them at random to the team. Keep in mind that these new campaign customization options are fairly experimental, so you may run into untested interactions with them. I'll be sure to get anything serious with the mode patched up ASAP if it pops up, just make sure to report it in the Steam forums or our discord!Patch Notes 1.08Mar 31, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.08 Small patch today with one very important fix for the final chapter as I work on better itemizing what I need to get through this week and planning out some work looking further ahead. Fixed an issue with the final chapter where the game could get stuck without completing the level Fixed an issue where illuminate wasn't applying its buff immediately The priest enemy in chapter 10 with incorrect stats is now properly scaled Fixed a tooltip issue with the elemental ring Features coming soon I'm still prioritizing bug fixing for now but there are a couple small options I'm starting work on to add this week that have been heavily requested. These are not live in THIS patch but are coming soon. Option to have levelups NOT auto advance so you can have more time to process the info Option to have fast forwarding be on by default without needing to click Patch Notes 1.07Mar 29, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.07 Fixed an issue where movement range could persist through taking an action and cause units to run in place in odd ways and potentially crash the game in certain circumstances. This was one of the more commonly experienced game breaking issues so if you ran into something similar there is a really strong chance it was this. Changed the text of the kindling ring to better suit its effect Fixed an issue with enemies not spawning with correct stats when the random enemies customization was live Fixed an issue with the radiance ring applying blind to allies in AOE Restoration spells Fixed an issue where class changing could override menu functionality and crash the game Fixed an issue where over 100 xp could be gained, resulting in a lost levelup Fixed a crash where poisoned units with mastery below 0 could cause ability scaling to break. Poison no longer reduces Mastery below 0. Patch Notes 1.06Mar 28, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes 1.06 Fixed an issue that allowed you to take attacks and movement actions before the unit made it to their proper tile, leaving them out of place and glitched if animations were off or a movement option was used. This was causing a majority of unit desync issues and a variety of crashes on maps with 'jump' tiles. Fixed an issue with pet commands not applying their effects with animations off Fixed an issue where counter attacking with animations off was missing certain on-hit effects Fixed an issue where movement grids weren't properly clearing when a frame was skipped, leading to units disappearing Fixed an issue where stormrider casted offmap could crash the game Thank you for great launch | Patch Notes 1.05Mar 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIt's day 4 now of Dark Deity 2 being out, and I just want to take a second to say a huge thank you to everyone playing the game!

Patch Notes 1.04Mar 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes - Hotfix 1.04 -Fixed an issue where phantom units from the class tree could persist off the map, which led to a variety of different issues that seemed like they might be coming from something else (most notably, unit deaths with the unit not actually dying, some strange enemy targeting, and the controller unit cycling getting bugged out) -Fixed an issue where battlesaves could lead to the post-level decision cutscene being skipped (going to have some more testing for this once build is live, could require another fix tomorrow to catch all possibilities) -Fixed an issue where 'cleansing' upgrades didn't function correctly if taken as the second upgrade. -Fixed an issue where some abilities 'cleansing' upgrade didn't function at all -Fixed an issue where weapons in the shop could become unsellable past a certain point -Fixed an issue where campaign customization could select multiple options at a timePatch Notes 1.03Mar 26, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsPatch Notes - Hotfix 1.03 Fixed Challenge: Rescuing to no longer cause a game over on end of turn count Fixed a crash where promoting gwyn in certain rare circumstances could terminate the game Fixed some crashes resulting from units existing in between tiles after movement (there are some more issues remaining to be fixed that are of this nature, so if you run into one please let me know in the forums or discord!)

Some more details are as follows: 2 copies of Dark Deity 2 will be provided on launch to the 2 best finishers on Demonic Difficulty. 3 copies of Dark Deity 2 will be provided on launch to the 3 best finishers on Deity Difficulty.

Runs must be completed on build V02.24.02D (found in the top left corner of the main menu, if you are up to date you are fine!) Runs cannot be modified using campaign customization tools. The goal is to finish the 4 chapters in the demo in as few turns as possible! Use any strategy you see fit to do so. Remember, prizes are only for Deity and Demonic difficulties! Excited to see what strategies you come up with. The competition will run from February 24th at 10am pacific to February 26th at 9pm pacific! All runs must be completed within this window of time.Dark Deity 2's Demo Is Live ahead of Steam Next FestFeb 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIn celebration of Steam Next Fest, which begins on February 24th, Dark Deity 2's demo is live! Closer to the event start, we will also be announcing more details around our LTC (low turn count) competition for the demo, which we'll be giving away 5 free copies to the winners of! So get in the demo and get preparing for us to take Next Fest by storm! We've been hard at work on the game, and hope many of you will give the demo a try as we hurtle rapidly towards launch!Happy Holidays & Demo News from the DevsDec 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsWith 2025 fast approaching, I wanted to take a second to thank everyone for the support you've shown us this year. Making a video game can be exhausting at times and a big part of what keeps us going is knowing that so many of you are excited for DD2. We are hurtling towards a final build at what feels like 1000 miles an hour, and I am really thrilled to get you all playing the full game soon. We'll be taking the demo down on January 2nd so we can spend some time taking in remaining feedback and maybe getting a new demo build with the dizzying list of fixes I've already made thanks to your help. I cannot stress enough how fantastic this demo round was for the state of DD2. Thankfully it was pretty stable, so I've had a ton of time to track down all those funky little bugs or functionality fixes and improvements that folks have been hoping for. A little peek at a couple of the more requested and high profile pieces: All map art in the game now has shadows, drastically improving map feel. Pretty much every menu now has hover tooltips that explain debuffs or stats. No more checking the codex to see what Heavy Bleed does - if you hover an ability/passive/item that applies it, it will tell you. Complete redesign of Chapter 3! This one had been on the docket for a while, but we have completely redesigned the chapter to play better across the board. Interactable tiles (seize, evacuate, etc) now have a tooltip that tells you their function when hovered. Character art now shows in the expanded unit view screen during gameplay The infinite staircase in the very first scene has been removed and replaced with a better scene. I will miss it deeply, as it had been in the game in some capacity for a year and a half or so. There are a couple hundred more small changes I could talk about, but I'll keep it to the essentials for now. For the remaining 10 days that the demo is live, remember that there are campaign customization options and the demo is built to be replayed with new classes! In the full release you won't be getting into the tier 2 classes quite so rapidly, so if you're the type of person that likes to plan out their builds this is a great opportunity to do so. Also, if you haven't joined yet, the official discord is a great place to chat about the game and share your feedback, thoughts, and builds! Happy holidays everyone, and thank you again. I feel like I say this constantly, but your support means the world to myself and the rest of the team. We're gonna keep working hard to make DD2 as good as can be!Demo Patch Notes, December 10th 2024Dec 10, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHere are the first patch notes for the DD2 demo! We've got a long way to go before the game is fully where we want it, but I wanted to act on some of the higher priority stuff quickly for y'all while the demo is live. Also, quick reminder that campaign customization is already live, meaning if you want to tackle the demo chapters with exceptional difficulty or tweak things for a new run you can do so. The sandbox is built to reward creative play, so levels can be tackled at extremely high difficulties with the right team compositions! Content Included 2 additional story scenes from the start of Chapter 5 Features Added a codex that explains stats and effects (planning to expand tooltips in the future as well) Added the option to disable turn limits for maps that don't have a turn-based victory when starting a playthrough Added the option to select rolled or linear stat leveling when starting a new playthrough (RNG vs. Set) Added a hover-over display for shop items and weapons that displays stats or purpose Added ability ranges to several menus Enemies that have their range showing now glow purple Added a button to open/close all enemy ranges (Y on PC, Select/Back on controller. Also in the context menu) The Devoted class now uses Axes Weapon type is now displayed on the Class Tree menu Class attack range is now displayed on the Class Tree menu Added additional indication for when rune storage is empty Clicking a player unit with no actions left opens their unit information page Moved several objectives in Chapter 2 and made the boss more clear Bug/Functionality Fixed an issue with equipping rings when only 1 ring is in storage Fixed some issues with UI clipping with eachother and off the map (some more work to be done here) Fixed an issue that allowed runes to be slotted without having a rune to slot Fixed an issue with shop icons showing up wrong Fixed a crash in chapter 4 when picking certain routes Fixed a variety of visual glitches Fixed an issue with selecting a unit in the elixirs menu also attempting to apply the elixir immediately Fixed a crash in the base menu when toggling between controller and mouse controls in certain contexts Fixed an issue with weapons and resources persisting through starting a new game without resetting game (certain things may still be replicated here, still working through making sure everything possible gets reset) Fixed an issue with Saxon’s Call the Storm not targeting correctly, also buffed the ability Planning to act on many more pieces of feedback and bugs that have been reported, but trying to get to some of the higher priority stuff first, thank you all again for taking the time to play the demo!
