Patch 1.2Nov 6, 2023 - Community Announcements:mb2spark: Greetings Spirit Hunters! :mb2spark: Happy November! We are happy to share some news along with a fun update and a new event! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/0fad5d5fd454440aac54629bb13dbd0cf7255c76.png :sadhf:BULLET HEAVEN FEST! We are excited to be part of the great event with so many other great games in our genre! :mb2spark: Bullet Heaven tag finally added to Steam :mb2spark: Spirit Hunters is now 30% off :mb2spark: Over 150 other Bullet Heaven games on sale {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/5915aca906429f9994998b248856e421b016aa25.png :sadhf:TURBO MODES Spirit Hunters just got a whole lot faster! Once you beat any level at normal speed the first time, you can replay levels at 1.5x speed or 2x speed. This increases the full game speed so 2x means standard 15 min runs become 7.5 minutes. (clock ticks twice as fast) Warning! - We haven't tested on very old hardware so If you have a old toaster computer, super fast mode may have some performance challenges. :P {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/97ba1adac5372cd6279d16b647e43dee92b30c10.png The speed options can be found in the Map Select screen and the Challenge screen. You can change speeds before every run. Certain levels are extra spicy at faster speeds. :) As always thanks for all the support. If you are enjoying the game and the updates, please take a moment to leave a positive review. ːsteamthumbsupː Thanks! Patch 1.1Aug 29, 2023 - Community Announcements:mb2spark: Greetings Spirit Hunters! :mb2spark: Its been one month since our console launch and we are finally winding down on Spirit Hunters. The team has moved on to new games at this point, or having a break. This will likely be the final update outside of any newly found bugs and one potential feature we are testing. We want to thank everyone in the community who has helped to make this a game we can be proud of finishing. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/7b7b80abee2b78f9ab397301de64d39b296eb8fa.png :sadhf: DIVINITY WEB PURCHASABLE HIGHLIGHT This is one of the most requested features we have had for a long time. Now that the game is done and 99% of the bugs are cleared out, we have had the time to get it in. Once you have more than 50 points spent in the Divinity web, there will be a highlighted, arrow that will point to any node you can currently afford to unlock. This counts for both resources and kill gates. This should make mid to late-game Dweb navigation much easier to manage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/a13d24cb07e3f24fa7bff07bf7c9257b247ac4dc.png :sadhf: ENEMY LOCATION UNDER KILLGATES The number 1 question we still get is "Where can I find X monster?". So we added the zone where you can find the monster under each kill gate. Many enemies can be found in multiple zones and we didn't want to put a big list. So the zone displayed is the easiest place to find the monster. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/171577cf7a041e777c7a8744729392814b791da2.png We squashed a few more bugs that players have been finding since launch. :al_bug: There was an issue where pausing the game could cause some elements with a lifetime to play out their lifetime while paused. This little cheeky error has been fixed. :al_bug: The Controller cursor could be snapped outside at the top of the screen and then left in limbo unable to come back. Forever alone. :al_bug: There was a long-standing issue with soft locking the game when leveling just at the time when entering the shop / pausing the game. This has been fixed. :al_bug: Arrow Spectre and Arrow Blocker now have the correct location info set on their data. :al_bug: Character Shakpana + Lighting ability now properly applies his passive. :al_bug: Issue with the HP meter that meant that it was not aligned with Sickles HP. :al_bug: Issue with boss medals fixed due to missing kill gate on Desert ruins brutal. :al_bug: Some nudging of images in the character select screen due to overlapping with text. :al_bug: Updating Hearty Dweb description to be correct. :al_bug: A number of spelling mistakes As always, thanks for all the feedback and support from the player community. If you enjoy the game please give a thumbs up review. ːsteamthumbsupː Follow us on...

Enemies hit by the knockback have a 30% chance to drop a crystal.

It has a few spicy twists that make it quite different from other zones. Also updating the art for all the other maps. That Dark Forest drawing has been pretty rough since first launch. haha! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8be71d3b7f9f5b8535f63c4847a502a23cafcd6d.png :sadhf: MOLEMEN CULTISTS The final zone has a bunch of new enemies featuring the Molemen cult, followers of the Moon God... :sadhf: LOADS OF OTHER UPDATES!

We are hard at work on wrapping up the final characters, zones and core features of the game. Here is an update to talk about what's coming next. Content Patch 8 is going to be a big one that adds a lot of new features and updates to the game prior to the 1.0 release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8aeb0def492dd5bfb3edc6d3d3895e02c2ef1df6.png ːsadhfːTHE LEDGER The last major system we are adding to the game for 1.0 is the Ledger.

Due to increasing development costs from all the new content we have been adding, localization and console porting, the low $5 price point is no longer profitable for our team. An increase in price will help Spirit Hunters remain financially viable into the future.

It has a 30-second cooldown. :sadhf:CONRAD: HOLY SHIELDS {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/a1b84e248653bb6ab9e11efd70f9a222fea7eda8.png Conrad slams his shield into the ground creating 4 holy shields that do minor damage, knock enemies back and heal Conrad a small amount for each enemy hit. :sadhf:SHAKPANA: PLAGUE BRINGER We updated Shakpanas Hero Ability to give it more visual impact like the others. The gameplay is the same - Still poisons all enemies on screen and greatly reduced their movement speed. *Hugo and Maxines Hero Abilities are both in progress but have some more work needed to finish them. We decided to not delay the patch, so they will be in the next one. We did some work on Desert Ruins to give our first map a more interesting environment design. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/bba2a188de018d8de7f08d4586af16732a0481b7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8d2eddb46b224fd93e8bd172bf45377560c6e371.png :sadhf:SHOPS We have reworked how shops spawn to make sure they are fewer early and more showing up later in a run when you have all that extra gold on hand. :sadhf:PET CAGES We have changed the way pet cages are spawning. Now it is possible to find nearly twice as many pet cages in a run. :sadhf:IMMUNITY CHAOS We know we way overdid the Ice and Poison immunity. We greatly reduced the number of immune enemies and mad it far more simple to understand: *Plants are immune to Poison *Ghosts and Spirits are immune to Ice :ns_blue: Poison Cloud buff - Reduces enemy move speed by 65% :ns_blue: Shakpana Plague Bringer buff - Reduces enemy move speed by 65% :ns_blue: Minor changes to Desert Ruins normal mode enemies :ns_blue: Minor changes to Spine Dunes normal mode enemies :ns_blue: Miniboss Paul update - more HP and WAY more cones :ns_blue: HP increase - Cemetery Tombstones :ns_blue: UI tweaks - description updates :sadhf:NEW ANIMATIONS We finished animating all the end bosses and a bunch of other monsters across the game. :ns_blue:Character - Improved Magnus Animations :ns_blue:Boss - Spicy Demise :ns_blue:Boss - Giant Tribal Beetle :ns_blue:Boss - Hammer Hors...Content Update 4Nov 2, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIts finally here! A major content update 6 weeks in the making. We have a ton of new content and overall game improvements to get through, so lets get this party started! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/17be15fd438927e3c4811b30e93a2587f5cbdc3e.png :sadhf:NEW HERO: SHAKPANA, THE PLAGUE BRINGER Shakpana is a voodoo master of poison. All creatures, living or dead fear the glowing stare from his cursed mask. It is said that anything he touches becomes plagued. *Shakpanas' starting synergies add or increase damage over time for all abilities. Shakpana is the first to get a HERO ABILITY. PLAGUE BRINGER is an active ability that can be used when the player chooses. He has a unique icon next to the health bar. This ticks up every few seconds and becomes usable when the number reaches 10. It can be charged up to 50. Upon activating, all enemies on the screen are hit with a poison attack, slowing them by 60% and hitting them 3 times for that number. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/071ac13b007aa6756938a6a21fc15ae99670ebb9.png :sadhf:NEW ABILITY: POISON CLOUD Poison Cloud is a low damage, crowd control ability that has strong protection and combos well with heavy attack abilities. A cloud grows around the player making a temporary shield that gets thrown in the facing direction when it reaches its full size. Poisoned enemies are slowed and take damage over time. Some enemies are immune to poison. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/16a40d0df421130fe07326d456a38f306214f22a.png :sadhf:ABILITY MODS The primary focus of this update was the inclusion of the Ability Mods. This includes the foundational work to support them going forward, and also the initial mods to get the ball rolling! Ability mods provide ways to evolve and modify abilities as you progress through a run. Mods are unlockable in the Divinity Web. Each ability will have 2 mods and mods can be combined together to add a lot of new build variety. The foundational work will allow us to get more mods in a lot quicker in future patches! How Ability Mods work in Spirit Hunters: Once unlocked in the Divinity Web, new mod banner choices show up at certain ability levels during a run. Example: Reaching Tornado level 8 adds Bouncy Wind mod to the random upgrade pool. Reaching Tornado level 15 adds Chaos Storm mod to the random upgrade pool. Each mod has a different level requirement that shows in the character/ability select screen. :BlueOrbus:Tornado - Bouncy Wind: Tornados last longer and bounces off environment :BlueOrbus:Tornado - Chaos Storm: Tornado changes to shoot a constant single shot in all directions :BlueOrbus:Spears - Spear Cage: Changes spear formation to spawn in a circle around the player :BlueOrbus:Spears - Frost Spears: Adds a large freeze chance aura to spears :BlueOrbus:Tangle Vines - Bomb Pods: Flowers that grow on the vines and explode when they despawn :BlueOrbus:Tangle Vines - Vine Spitters: Grows turret plants that shoot a stream of piercing projectiles :BlueOrbus:Poison Cloud - Breaking Wind: Eac...Progress Report 5Oct 25, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsEnd of the month and end of work being done on the next patch. Here is our regular bi-weekly progress update: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/9803437d80178f539eb3af924ba0d753ceea0bde.png We have the majority of the content in a good place with a few loose ends to tie up and a load of testing, tweaking and bug fixing to get done before releasing into the wild. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/7b6c87a5e5fcf4d45f240d9c03ba574114796d29.png Chaos Storm combined with Bouncy Wind getting crazy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/78b67b84df2607d6c7676adbe9adc93be4e724ae.png Poison Cloud mods stinking up the place. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/ab151428bdb796524c7244686924d61b1f5fbcc5.png Frost Spears might still be a bit too strong. Minor tuning still in the works. :P Loads of improvements across the game that will be covered in detail in the upcoming patch notes. If all goes well, we hope to get this patch out on Halloween... or a few days later if we all eat too much candy and have to take some time off to recover. :P Thank you again to everyone for the amazing ongoing support for Spirit Hunters: Infinite horde. We sincerely hope you are enjoying the game and are as excited for the future content as much as we are. Follow us on... Discord | Twitter | TikTok | Twitch | Instagram | Patreon | Website Progress Report 4Oct 11, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHappy October! Here is our regular bi-weekly progress update: Since this is another large patch that is taking us a good chunk of time to complete, we figured we would do another progress bars image to show you exactly what is coming and where we are at with everything. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/1d077c1fbe206da8f3328ea4261c8d7cf116e055.png Here is the big list of things we have going on. A lot of progress being done across multiple aspects of the game. Nate did a lot of foundational work to get the Mods systems working great. Lots of new enemies in a very different feeling map. Beware of the huge snowballs constantly rolling down hill! Ant is continuing to add a load of great new animations to the end bosses and other enemies across the game to give a lot more motion and life to the game. A load of minor and major ability tweaks and an overall game speed boost are also happening. We will go into more specific details upon release of the patch. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/424dc4b737e121d492f06db82d0cd65753d479cf.png The new hero Shakpana is coming and he is the first character to get an active ability. All characters will be getting very cool and unique active abilities as we continue to develop the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/970dcfa98e563975730f4f804d6f5750f1d27295.png We are making our biggest and baddest boss yet for the new map. Yeti Colossus will crush you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/4830fd421dba350a473183b13571e7164c2abfed.png Got some new Halloween style minibosses in the works for this month. I hear Moon Mummy loves pizza, so don't be surprised when he shows up. If all the testing goes well, we are looking to have this next patch out sometime in late October. Progress ReportSep 27, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIts been 2 weeks since the Bestiary update and Roadmap with plans for the 1.0 release. Here is a progress report explaining what we are working on now and what will be in the next patch. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/03cef20f1b90c1f4a385fe304bf0ea5b2688f152.png We are primarily focused on getting 2 ability mods for each of the existing abilities. These will give a lot more player choice and options for making unique builds. For the first ability patch we are focusing on 3 existing abilities and a new one. Here is what we are playing with now. Please understand that these are work in progress and can change if we dont think they are working well enough for the game. ːsadhfː {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/7a475e8b75ef77fbde1b5f404a26b1c893fd1dd9.png ːns_blueːSPEARS (testing) Spears is getting 2 new banner mods: Spear Cage and Frost Spears Spear Cage - Changes Spears from random spawn locations to a ring around the player. This trades overall damage since default spears hit enemies every time, for full control and predictability. Frost Spears - Frost spears adds the ability to freeze enemies at a small reduced damage cost. Frost Spears can work with both normal and cage modes. ːns_blueːTORNADOS (testing) Tornado is getting 2 new banner mods: Chaos Storm and Bouncy Wind (best name ever?) Chaos Storm - Changes Tornado to shoot one at a time very rapidly in random directions. Bouncy Wind - Tornados now bounce off objects so things can get pretty crazy in tight areas. These can combo together to make different tornado builds. ːns_blueːVINES (testing) Vines is getting 2 new banner mods: Bombs, and Spitters Bombs - Choosing bombs will grow explosive pods on your vines. Spitters - Choosing spitters will grow monster plants that shoots poison. You can only choose either bombs or spitters. Choosing one will remove the other from that run. ːns_blueːPOISON CLOUD All future abilities will be getting multiple mods from the start. So we will have the base ability plus the 2 mods on release. This one is still in prototype/figure it out mode, so cant give solid details yet :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/cdb5a4f7b456e3ef27cde2af2b0f613bbd0e2a04.png A new hero is coming with this coming update: Shakpana the Plague Master With the new poison debuff system and the new ability we are working on, it makes sense to release this new hero with it. Plus he will be the first to get an active hero ability. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/6de76ddf3aeb4a1cbb17b759ed8cf77d6750997c.png ːns_blueːNEW ZONE AND ENEMIES We are adding a new zone to the Highlands map: Northwood is the home to the Frost Trolls and their Yax they ride. These are some tanky beasts so you will need to have some good Dweb progress before trying this one. There will be a load of other new enemies and minibosses as well... and more Moon Mummy. ːmp_starːPlus lots of new boss and enemy animations, some minor bug fixes, and hopefully some new music.ːmp_starː ROADMAP: Content plans for Spirit Hunters 1.0Sep 13, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/15b3cc0fccd2905baa313742818ec1fd208e0497.png Hello Spirit Hunters! We have been planning and figuring out our future plans for Spirit Hunters based on our current budget and timeline for the final game. Here are the core features that we will be working on over in the coming months as we head towards the 1.0 full release. Please keep in mind, that a lot of these are WIP concepts and are subject to change as we develop them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/388bc720f29fedd2c0f9c43091cc7421d9eefebf.png ːsadhfːABILITY UPDATES This is our primary focus that we are already in the process of creating. We will be adding loads of variations to existing abilities. Once we get this system in, there will be a bunch of different ways to build any ability in the game. We will also be working on new abilities, with the first being Poison Cloud. Poison cloud will also come with a new enemy status effect that we can use across multiple ability variations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/00d978ef15e1df33fe7f98314f9c0a12bd5c2acd.png ːsadhfːNEW HEROES The next 3 heroes in Spirit Hunters are going to add a lot of uniqueness to the game: ːns_blueːShakpana - The voodoo plague master. ːns_blueːSickle - The miniboss reaper traitor. ːns_blueːMcDiggins - The crazed miner. ːsadhfːHERO ABILITIES Each hero will be gaining a usable ability that matches their play style. We have concepts for each character to further push their gameplay variety. ːsadhfːNEW PETS We will also be working on a bunch of new pets that we will roll out throughout the development cycle. ːsadhfːSKINS! We are excited to announce collectable skins for heroes and pets. These will be unlockable through doing quests and earning achievements. Keep an eye on our discord and future steam posts for some fun ways to get your ideas into the game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/6445624a221a544b3037387c1614cdaa1423bbfa.png ːsadhfːNEW MAP The Ancient Caverns is the final map of the game. This is where you will fight the hardest enemies and the final bosses. ːsadhfːNEW MODES Brutal mode will be the final difficulty and add a lot of challenges for the end-game players. We are also going to roll out a new mode that is different from anything else in the game. We will talk more about this later towards the end of early access. ːsadhfːNEW ZONES We will be adding more zones with a load of new, unique enemies to fight. The next one is Highlands Northwood, a snowy zone which is home to the Frost Trolls. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8f0ec1b855b5d57df362acf03ce9ac50140736c8.png ːsadhfːORACLES LEDGER This will be our quest progression and tracking system. Each character will have a wide range of quests that will greatly change the way you play a run. They will range from super easy to very challenging. ːsadhfːMORE STEAM ACHIEVMENTS Of course, we will be adding a load more steam achievements as we continue adding more content. ːsadhfːSTEAM TRADING CARDS We can already do this, we just need to find the time to mak...Content Update 03Sep 12, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8944e809842228f548c8a7ee16c2b1bda2470416.png Welcome back Spirit Hunters! This is our second smaller quality of life update where we focused on adding some much needed features, a bit of balance and Dweb RNG cleanup. We have also done a lot of behind the scenes foundational planning and work on the schedule/roadmap. The next update will be another bigger one with a lot of new gameplay. :mb2spark: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/12d2ab4e31d6f2045f5dbae6a0dde1fdf48659d0.png :sadhf:BESTIARY Our primary update this month is the Bestiary. It feels like half the questions we get about the game is asking the location of a certain enemy. Once you defeat any enemy once, you get their name, location and stats along with a fun little bio for each of the 170+ enemies in the game. Before doing this we did some localization setup prep... seemed like a good time, since this added 30x more text to the game... We appreciate all the typo feedback that will likely pour in since all 3 of us are terrible at spelling. hehe. Thanks in advance! ːsteamhappyː {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/ac58125fd0baf2a6cd16dd13888d73afa7a2fea6.png :sadhf:PET RE-ROLLS A feature players have been heavily requesting is pet rerolls. The cost is higher than ability rerolls due to the pets in shops economy balance, but now you can use your gold to have a far better chance of maxing the pets you want in any given run. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/388ed26d089cf44ddf344af2636cb02b309b1d45.png :sadhf:NEW MONSTERS :ns_blue: Fairy Caster :ns_blue: Banshee Spector :ns_blue: Bone Guard Spearit :ns_blue: Flame Bat :ns_blue: Lil Twista Bros :sadhf:MORE MONSTER ANIMATIONS We continue to add more unique animation to our monsters, and this is a task that we will be working on throughout updates during our early access development. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/fe6dd659010c2e614f911fdca76d5690f59c5ba5.png Our musical maestro Injeckted has provided some new custom tracks for Spine Dunes, and Viper Village. Enjoy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8d2eddb46b224fd93e8bd172bf45377560c6e371.png :sadhf:KILL GATE UPDATES We removed all the RNG based minibosses from kill-gates and replaced the remaining ones with new enemies. So now there is no more luck required to complete the Divinity Web and the speed runners can rejoice! :sadhf:MONSTER BALANCE Some general monster tuning has happened across many zones. Monster counts, HP and damage tweaks to continue ironing out the game balance. :sadhf:PET BALANCE Scoop got a minor buff: Level 1: 10 - 8 sec cooldown. Level 2: 8 -6 sec cooldown. :sadhf:MOON MUMMY We convinced him that being on the Bestiary icon and the patch notes title graphic is better than a buff and he fell for it. So no Moon Mummy upgrade this time. All pet shop prices have been adjusted to account for changes and pet reroll balance. Some costs went up some went down. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/171577cf7a041e777c7a8744729392814b791da2.png Bugs are an ever-present danger, and must be squishe...Content Update 02Aug 18, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/92baab7faa8e948e45cba0c1c1b5093c92cc4422.png It has been 2 weeks since our first major content update. We are planning to do a few smaller improvement-focused updates that address feedback, set up systems for future work and make the current game experience better. For this update, we focused on improving some game clarity issues and making harder monsters more valuable... and of course cleaning up some annoying bugs. :al_bug: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/0af0d560c9b521b58bb321596f499adfc7c818a5.png :sadhf:DIVINITY WEB VISIBILITY We heard all the feedback about not being able to plan where to go on the Divinity Web due to unlocks being hidden. So we reworked the way things are displayed. You can now see the name and type of all major nodes from the start of the game. The minor nodes and costs are still hidden, but every skill, hero, pet, map, and all passives are now dark grey icons with visible information. We also used this opportunity to improve some of the visuals on the divinity web for clarity reasons. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/e6c9daeb77731a8b7a8708ce0acb15a2b2039428.png :sadhf:INDICATOR SYSTEM We've introduced a new indicator system, to provide more clarity on certain objects, and to perhaps do some "interesting" stuff in the future. :sadhf:MINIBOSS INDICATORS As soon as a miniboss spawns, an arrow with an icon will point out the direction it is (if offscreen) and it will stay onscreen until you defeat it or the end boss spawns. So you can always chase them down or if you are trying to avoid a miniboss like that evil Fire Cactus with the massive aura, you will always know where it is coming from. If the boss dies offscreen, the indicator will be used to point at the chest it drops. :sadhf:SHOP INDICATORS "I have all this money and I can't find a shop!" We hear this a lot, so we added shop indicators. When you get close to a shop, an arrow will point it out. Once you have found a shop, an indicator will point towards it but will begin to fade out the further you get away from it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/e595b3a021252e9c31dd0d570cedfe364ce86d6d.png :sadhf:HIGHER XP SOULS Since all enemies have the same soul drop chance, small easy enemies were worth the same value as harder ones. Now we added higher value souls that drop from harder enemies and a rare white soul that can drop from chests. :sadhf:SPINE DUNES LAYOUT UPDATE Spine Dunes had too many very long walls and a bunch of dead ends making it really difficult to traverse. So we changed the layout to have far more openings and removed all dead ends. It's still not open like some other zones, but it's a lot easier to explore and get out of tough situations. :sadhf: NEW MONSTER ANIMATIONS Some monsters have had new and more interesting animations added. Things like rocks burst into rubble on impact now. This will be ongoing and more and more monsters will be further animated as development continues. :sadhf: SAVE FILE CLARITY Before it looked like every new ...Content Update 01 is LIVE!Aug 4, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/c23d90b0f7e60673d8000eab975516660b736d84.png CONTENT UPDATE 01 IS HERE! It's been a crazy 2 months since we released our first rough version of Spirit Hunters. The team survived covid and other personal chaos. We have received loads of great feedback from the community and got a lot done for our first content update. We've reworked the whole game to support our vision, respond to feedback, and provide better long-term foundational support for future updates. So if you are at the end game, we suggest you start a new game to get the full much better and quicker flow. There are now multiple save slots so you don't ever have to overwrite your old game. All of the new content is available in the first few hours of a new game. As always, all feedback is read and appreciated, but feedback on the overall new experience is of the highest value to us. Thanks in advance! :sadhf:NEW SPIRIT HUNTER: HUGO - THE TREASURE GENIE All enemies in the game do different amounts of damage, but not to Hugo. He has a unique health mechanic where he has 8 health vials. Each hit reduces his HP by 1 regardless of what he gets hit by. Each heart simply refills one vial. Upon taking damage Hugo turns invisible and gains a major boost in move speed for 5 seconds with the ability to phase through enemies with no collision. He also leaves a decoy that continues to attract all nearby enemies until the 5 seconds is up. This makes Hugo the master of escape as he can simply float through hordes of enemies after taking a single hit. All of Hugo's starting ability synergies are gold-focused. With the right build he can easily gather over 1000 more gold than any other hero in a run.:WGoldCoins: :sadhf: OTHER HERO UPDATES: Magnus - Minor move speed increase from 135 to 140 Vivian - Move speed increase from 135 to 150 Conrad - Move speed increase from 80 to 95 Maxine - Move speed increase from 180 to 200 + 15 starting HP. Added challenge level stars to each character description for difficulty clarity. This will also be important for future quest/in game achievement content. :sadhf: PLAYER CONTROL We reduced the amount the player slides when coming to a stop. This greatly increased the accuracy of player movement when using WASD, mouse or controller. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42056218/8e7fb1740df7cf22eb396fbc3fcf9f25eba6675d.png :sadhf:DIVINITY WEB BALANCE We heard all the feedback about the game feeling too grindy and we fully agree. We reduced the cost of nearly every Dweb node by 30-90%. We reduced the majority of kill gates by a lot and nearly all the miniboss kill gates are reduced to 1. Power increases across the board. Far higher damage numbers so the power ramp feels better. :sadhf:REROLLS, RESOURCES & CURRENCY EXCHANGE We massively increased the overall rewards. We added more starting chests, mining nodes and shops to each zone. We also greatly increased the crystal drop rate of each mining node. The loot tables have been improved so the rewards are better th...
