Alpha 8 - The Crossbow Update
Alpha 8 is here, including a brand new weapon as well as a new tutorial/tip system!
Use the new crossbow to fight far away enemies. You can fire it instantly after reloading, unlike the bow, which opens some new combat styles.
The crossbow also comes with a new quiver style for the bolts its firing.
A new tutorial/tip system is now in place that will display hints on screen when relevant.
They are designed to not be intrusive, but if you think you already know everything, they can be disabled in the gameplay options. (I don't recommend this though as there are many new features coming in future updates)
This is also a good moment to say that after this update, I will be focusing on the Early Access version that will release in a few months.
There are so many new additions this version will receive and they are all interconnected so it would slow down development a lot if I did continue release constant updates for the Alpha.
But do not worry, there will be another free Alpha update shortly before the Steam release, Alpha 9!
You can download the free alpha here on Steam now (Click on the install demo button) as well as here on Itch.io

Thanks for reading and enjoy the update!

Wow! I can't wait to use the crossbow! It sounds very cool indeed! And I think the tips will be very good for the game.
And I can't wait for the steam release! You can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be the first one to play it. :-)
Oh, it's already there. Well, wishlisted!
Thank you, I am very excited for when it releases on Steam!! If you've downloaded the update already, download it again, I just released a fix for a small bug with shields :))
Ah, alright. Thank you!
