INTO EVIL

Greetings from the depths, o delvers!I return with another update - this time, a lighting overhaul that makes the dark and dreadful dungeons all the more terrifying.Behold!There are two main changes:Many objects in the game now properly have normal maps, allowing directional light sources to function properly (instead of just on the floor, which is how it previously worked)Metallic objects are now consistently shiny throughout the gameI hope you like the changes! Here are the full patch notes:Key changesThe lighting overhaul is now complete! Every object in the game has had its visual appearance reworked to reflect directional lighting, causing everything to look better and more cohesive. I hope you enjoy the new experience!Steam Deck is now locked to “Medium” quality, making it easier to have a smooth play experience across desktop and Steam Deck.The slowdown of vigor recovery while blocking has been made less severe.You should now more reliably receive interesting items from special treasure rooms.I realize there are not many gameplay changes in this update! TBH, these changes took a lot of work and I ended up being less able to add other tweaks alongside them. Next up: AI improv

Salutations from the dungeons, o delvers!Once again, I bring you a fresh content update for INTO EVIL! This one spices up ranged combat quite a bit!Visual ChangesAll worn equipment sprites now have normal maps, making them appear much more cohesive with their environment. (Stay tuned for further improvements to lighting in a future update!)Ranged Combat ChangesSeveral new weapons have been added that can be thrown at foes: Hatchets, Javelins, Discus Shields, and Tridents!Weapons can now receive the “Hurling” modifier, which allows them to be thrown.Ranged weapons can now drop with a mod that makes their projectiles home towards targets.The Aim spell now makes affected projectiles home in on targets.Ranged or thrown weapons can now drop with a mod that makes launched reusable projectiles automatically return to you. (This can hit enemies from behind if used precisely!)Other ChangesThe Halberd and Bec de Corbin “heavy stab” attack can now pass through grates.Item modifiers that grant melee status effects now also apply to ranged attacks (and vice versa), making weapon modifiers more consistent. (For example, a Longbow of Cinders will now set enemies on fire when they are shoved, and

Greetings once again, dungeon delvers! It is indeed time for another content update to be released! Last time, spells and arcana expanded dramatically. This time, the update focuses on two comparatively mundane (but quite important) areas: shields, and the HUD! These have been the source of most remaining player pain points: shields felt underwhelming, and the HUD still had problems (I'm looking at you, "torch info obscuring the screen in a fight"!) Sound familiar? Well then, feast thine eyes:Combat ChangesShields are now more effective at guarding against many attacks, and are more resilient against strong blows..When you attack after blocking with a shield, you now lunge forward (as if you had dodged or been running) in order to better take advantage of the enemy’s recoiling.Shields now have a brief moment of “strong” guarding when you start to block. Intercepting blows in this moment costs less vigor, can withstand even stronger strikes without breaking, and will cause enemies to recoil more severely.Energy now regains more slowly while you are blocking.Dagger “heavy stabs” now run forward after parries and dodges in order to more reliably hit their targets.Spear

Hello again, dungeon delvers!It's been a while, hasn't it? 😅 This update has taken a lot longer than expected (with good reason - read on!). However - at last - I am happy to report that the next content update is finally out!What could possibly have taken so long? I'm glad you asked! Here are the patch notes:Key ChangesA new device can be discovered in the halls of the Inverted Tower - a Thoughtscribe Engine! This fell contraption can take your magical items, and - at the cost of a soul point - transfer the corresponding spell into your mind, granting you the ability to cast that spell permanently!This process can also be used to further empower your known spells (should you bear a source of sufficient power). Thus if you already know, say, the Firebolt spell, if you hold a scroll of Firebolt II (or III) you can consume them to level up your mastery Firebolt by one tier! Magic ChangesA new school of magic has been added to the game: Heroism! These martial skills (Aim, Charge, Deflect, Focus, Leap, Shout, Smite, and Withstand) allow you to perform supernaturally mighty deeds.Each existing school (Divination, Chirurgery, Pyromancy, Cryomancy, and Tempestry) also has t
