JoeW Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 This update adds a new game mode: Daily Challenges. In daily challenge, your goal is to get a high score in a short (< 1 hour) run with a specific character, mutators and bonus goals. The configuration updates every day at 5pm Vancouver Time, so you can come back each day for a new challenge! Currently, Sal and Rook are enabled in the dailies, and there are two major variants: Cave Escape, and Boss Rush. We'll be adding more variants to put into the rotation at development continues, and of course everyone's favourite party alien. Other new features include: New promoted units in prestige >1: Rise Rebel and Baron Security Guard New beast / pet: The Lumicyte Lots of behind-the-scenes stability/performance and balance fixes Happy grifting, everyone! We'll see you for our next scheduled update on August 20. As always, you can follow along with our day-to-day development by opting in to the Experimental build. You'll see the changes that we make as we make them, and be able to give immediate feedback. Special thanks to all of the players who helped us balance the Daily Runs these past couple of weeks - it's a much more fun experience for your efforts!
