Hi Tim! A small patch (1.0.5.4) just went live easing the requirements for that fight. Now all that is required is completing the 3 Kora levels.

07.12.2025 10:16 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

a hotfix for the issue should be live now

hi tim. the killzone area seems a bit too large here. I'll adjust it in the next patch

Also really appreciate your help catching these loose ends. I've added your name to the special thanks section of the credits. Thank you, Tim!

Hi Tim. There was indeed a bug with the achievement. An update will go live later today fixing it. Also when you load your save file, the game will check if the ending has already been unlocked and if so will unlock the achievement automatically. Apologies for this.

24.11.2025 09:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Let me double check that.

Hey Tim. After you defeat the second Luka section, you need to backtrack to the place where the first section's portal is and jump back in. That'll unlock the achievement as well as Luka's boss fight in the ERROR level.

Sorry about that. I'll have a patch up fixing that issue today.

There was an error that occurred while saving the file with the translations. Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

An update should go live shortly fixing that issue.

Hi! Excited to drop the official EA trailer for Effulgence RPG - my solo ASCII RPG with enemy-crafting twists. Hitting Steam Dec 2. Wishlist now if you like the style: store.steampowered.com/app/3302080/...
Behind the Trailer: I figured it'd be fast, but selecting 22 moments took 24 hours!

Hi Tim! An update just went live fixing the bug. If the game has been completed, the portal window shouldn't open now but due to the changes you may need to replay the in-game section to make sure it's been marked as complete. Really sorry for that bug

Hi Tim. No it isn't. Come to think of it though, it might be more player-friendly to have them be replayable maybe? What do you think?

I'll fix it though for now. Thanks for letting me know.

Lone Wulf Studio 2025 Indie Showcase Submission Submit 15 seconds of game footage from games you worked on in 2025!

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

Hi Tim! No, no, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll look into it and fix it. Sorry about that

Yeah, I believe the keyword here is balance.

Yes! Abilities unlock in the tutorial so you won't be able to progress far. An update just went live yesterday though that unlocks those abilities in the next screen if you do skip the tutorial. Sorry for that oversight.

But thank you for checking out the game!!

A few takeaways from developing Bit ESC:

โ“ You don't know what you don't know and that's okay.
๐ŸŽˆ Festivals are by far the best form of marketing.
๐Ÿ›’ Try to aim for a better market fit next game.
๐Ÿ• And aim for shorter dev times.

Hi Tim! An update just went live fixing the crash you encountered. You should be able to load your save and continue normally. Sorry once again about that crash.

I keep sneaking small (and kinda pointless) stuff in Bit ESC updates. Like Bit here going all ๐Ÿ˜ when they see the cat.

Anyway... a big Bit ESC update should go live later today!

Hi Tim! An update should go live tomorrow (v1.0.2.0) including new boss fights, bus stops (warp points), a new story path for the game and a bunch of improvements. I've also included in it a fix the crash you've encountered. Really sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out.
