Blightstone

Hello Adventurers!A few weeks ago, we shared an update about the future of Blightstone and the direction we had decided to take for the final stage of Early Access.We explained that, after listening to your feedback and looking closely at what worked best in the game, we wanted to focus Blightstone more strongly around its core: tactical combat, build experimentation, progression, and replayability.Today, that new direction arrives.This is the biggest update we've made to Blightstone. It introduces entirely new systems and content, reworks several existing mechanics, and removes or simplifies others that we felt were getting in the way of the experience we want Blightstone to offer.The result is a more focused, faster-paced and replayable roguelite, built around getting into a run, experimenting with different strategies, overcoming increasingly difficult challenges, and jumping back in to try something new.So, let's take a look at what's changed: Simplified Run SetupWe've significantly simplified the systems surrounding the start and progression of a run.The Skill Tree and Ayanur Continuum Forge have been removed. Instead, preparing for a run is now much simple

Hello to all our dear Adventurers! First of all, we'd like to apologize for the lack of updates over the recent period. We've been quieter than usual because we've been taking the time to carefully evaluate the game's direction, review your feedback, and decide how to make the best possible version of Blightstone.Since launching in Early Access, we've learned a great deal from the community. One thing has become especially clear: the roguelite combat and build experimentation are the parts of the game that resonate the most with players. With that in mind, we've decided to focus our remaining development on strengthening those core elements and delivering the best Version 1.0 experience we can.This means we're preparing a major update for September (we don't have an exact date just yet, but it will definitely arrive within the month) that will set the foundation for Blightstone's full release. It will introduce new systems designed to make every run more varied and rewarding, including the new Relic System, along with other additions that improve progression, diversity, and replayability.As part of this new direction, we've also had
