Just realized I haven't posted since the last patch! ๐Ÿ‘€

In the next update, there will be a new mechanic: Frozen Treasures. You can break them open with your towers and get the treasure chests inside!

Finally finished the Altar's (another) rework! The new altar gives quests in exchange for extra powerful relics.

And yeah, you can be greedy, take all the pacts, and face a completely insane challenge! ๐Ÿ˜†

I've made at least 20 of these spin wheels in my previous job, but this is the first time I didn't have to write any code that lets the game cheat ๐Ÿ˜†

Feels good being an indie dev.

After two years of developing Emberward, it's awesome to make something that feels new to me ๐Ÿ˜†

My favorite relic in this update! Every time you open a treasure chest, you have to pick one option. You might get 100 gold coins, or maybe just 1.

After making it I played like this for 15 minutes nonstop ๐Ÿ˜†

Finished the last piece of the achievement system today!

For the long time players, the game will show you all the achievements auto unlocked, and then you can claim them all and enjoy the flood of achievement notifications ๐Ÿ˜†
