I've rolled out a fix which makes things better, and much clearer. Right now the skill tree is in development but I look to fix up its appeal in future updates. It appears some people have found the secret room faster than I expected, and that is super cool. We're almost at 1 week now and the game has changed an absolute ton. This is because of the feedback you've all submitted. Though not everything gets in I appreciate the constructive criticism many of you have sent. Have fun!Secret Room UpdateJan 26, 2019 - Community Announcements• Fixed the pick-able orb hitboxes (They still wait 1s so you don't accidentally grab them) • Fixed text alignment on weapon upgrades • Removed hover over weapon text • Added first enemy into secret room • New music • Added a hidden entrance to the secret room in the first two levels • January pet added • Fixed bug with vines on destroyed instances • Added secret room #1 It is pretty hidden, but the clues are definitely noticeable. Have fun everyone :ccknight: As always if any of this added a gamebreaking bug you can rollback with the password rollbackbuild in the Night of the Blood Moon Steam Preferences I would like to fix up the skill room for the lower resolution players, work on the wikia, and finish with the kickstarter pledgers after this.

It is popped after 2s or by initiation an attack. • Starter health has been lowered to 6 in order to better fit the easing up on many enemies • Fixed controller in the menus • Added temp charger sound effect • Fixed medium EXP not spawning • Applied new skill system • Applied leveling orbs • Removed gaining a free Lvl. Up each round • Made the challenge curve more natural This is the first of the new skill system. I have received a ton of feedback saying the old one isn't strong, and I agree. This system breaks the game into two skill trees, one that is permanent in the run, and one that can be changes on the fly. As always check the pause menu for information if you're un-aware of what a player additional mechanic is. Weapons, Pets, and Powers are all there (corners). If you catch a game breaking error while I'm asleep I like to set rollback builds with the password: rollbackbuild Hope you all keep having fun! -TyDay 1 FixesJan 21, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsTonight's Change-Log • Controller Fixes • Fixed bug where the controller didn't update right directional properly • Reprogrammed how it gets the input so it should be more consistent. • Slowed down the music notes • Music notes no longer spawn from boss boost if the player is with-in 75 px. • Slowed down the bush ninja's projectles • Slowed down the bush ninja run speed. • Landmines no longer let plants spawn on top of them. • Removed skills that weren't worth buying, and planning more skills to replace them. • Hookshot now does base 1 damage instead of 0. • Hookshot upgrade does 2 damage instead of 1. • The cursor automatically unlocks on the pause screen. • Eggs no longer spawn if the pet inside is already hatched. • Bomb upgrade now grants bomb immunity. • Fixed eclipse mode weapon upgrade. • Fixed bird wall colission bugs Planned goals: • Add more and sound effects, and improve the quality of existing ones. • Add more skills. • Add safety areas to spawns. • Reprogram the level generator. • Add more pets. • Add more weapons. • Implement secret rooms • Finish the wiki / Bestiary. • Redo the melee animation to reflect the true range.

As always keep posting your feedback and bugs. I'm working my butt off to get everything working at peak shape while also adding new content. Some feedback I've heard a good chunk of is 'I wish there were more enemies'. I totally agree, and more are coming. I have 2 planned for January, and plan to release one every month of 2019 while I start new endevours. The last thing I want to do is abandon this game after working so hard on it. As a solo dev I've managed to achieve a lot, but I entirely botch the pricing for Night of the Blood Moon in many countries worldwide. For all those who see the game marked as $300+ USD I assure you that is a mistake, and am in the process of fixing all pricing. I did not convert my A-game when working on that stuff. As always I am incredibly thankful to everyone who is helping with bug fixing, and to those who are waiting for adjusted pricing to pick up the game. -TylerJan 14th Early AccessJan 10, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone Night of the Blood Moon is entering Early Access on the 14th. I've had a few people ask me why I am doing just one week of it, and what the logic is there. Well here is my simple thought. As a one man development team there is bound to be a ton of things I don't catch, and I want to do my absolute best to provide a grade a polished game. The last thing I want is for you to be killing it in a run and then have something happen that ruins your fun. Night of the Blood Moon's primary goal is to be a fun challenge. To anyone buying into the early access I would highly encourage you to hop on the discord and give me a heads up on any bugs you encounter. This is a big time so I try to be close by at all times. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far. -Tyler Mcdermott Sole Developer of Night of the Blood Moon [email protected]
