  Thanks for Playing the BloodSworn Demo!

  First of all, thank you to everyone who played the demo, left a review, or shared detailed feedback. This was our first chance to see so many different players experience BloodSworn, from roguelite veterans to complete newcomers, and your feedback has been invaluable. BLOODSWORN'S GENRE One of the first things we realized is that we need to communicate the game's genre more clearly. Some players expected a traditional single-player campaign and didn't realize BloodSworn is a roguelite. We'll make this much clearer on the Steam page and throughout the game. AMOUNT OF CONTENT IN THE GAMEThe biggest piece of feedback was the lack of content. Expanding the game has always been our top priority, and we're already making good progress. Since the demo, we've added new Relics, and a brand-new level is currently in development. At the same time, we're continuing to improve the existing systems.We've also added our first Elite enemy, it's a stronger version of the existing bloated enemy with new visuals and abilities, designed to offer a greater challenge. MORE PLAYER DECISIONSAnother common request was giving players more choices during each run. We're redesigning the levels to include branching paths, and later we'll expand them further with unlockable routes and hidden doors. BIGGER LEVEL LAYOUTS AND PARKOURMany players also asked for more platforming challenges, so parkour sections will be added alongside the combat-focused rooms. We've also redesigned the level layouts to provide players with more freedom of movement while placing a greater emphasis on vertical gameplay. TUTORIAL FOR NEW PLAYERSSince BloodSworn introduces several unique mechanics, we've also created a full tutorial. It teaches movement, dashing, jumping, Relic and Weapon Chests, and both session-based and permanent progression, helping new players understand the game much more quickly. DAMAGE FEEDBACKWe've also improved combat feedback by adding flinch animations and hit flash effects, making every shot ...

  Brief description of the game and an announcement!

  Welcome to all dear horror enthusiasts! I hope everyone is feeling well and ready for a new adventure! This time, we've decided to take a break from the survival horror category and plunge into a similarly bloody but much more action-packed game! This game will be a cooperative roguelite FPS, where players will fight against an evil cult, using firearms, blood magic and various relics with magical properties. Furthermore, players can enhance themselves with the blood of slain cult members, gradually becoming stronger and better! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44623705/5a8a87f10dc222558eb313e01878826a967b6963.png In the final version, you will be able to play with three of your friends, and a forest camp will be the lobby of the game where you can check missions and select your character. Each character will initially have a unique active ability, which can later be expanded with passive abilities. Our goal is to create an entertaining, fast-paced, and blood soaked FPS that includes enough randomization and unlockable content to make the game enjoyable for a long time. The difficulty level can be increased on the way, and we design the levels to be easily expandable. A slightly more distant plan is to provide solo players with an NPC companion that they can customize according to their preferences. So, if you happen to be in a tight spot or your health is low, there will be someone to help you out! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44623705/127fec39314a543fb5f1e202d6d2ecea00a459fd.png As the development is past a well-functioning vertical slice version, a trailer for the game is coming soon! So get ready because blood will be spilled, a lot of blood! I would like to thank everyone who helps with the development, be it with a comment, a share or spreading a word for us, it means a lot to our tiny team! And don't forget to add the game to your Wishlist, as well as follow us on Twitter! If you want to chat with us about the development or about our previous games, feel free to join our Discord se...
