  King in the Mountain Announced - An Incremental Prequel to Lootbane

  Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce King in the Mountain, a calm strategic incremental mining game set in the same world as Lootbane. King in the Mountain is a small prequel to Lootbane, taking place before the events of the main game. Plan each descent, guide your dwarves through the mountain, gather treasure and rebuild your royal Mountain Hall one expedition at a time. Development on Lootbane is still moving forward at full speed. We’re currently waiting for the artist working on the game’s visuals, while many other elements are being actively designed, refined, and implemented. King in the Mountain is simply a smaller project exploring another part of the same world in a different way.

  Lootbane Demo - New Update v0.3

  Hey everyone👋 Thanks a lot for playing the demo and sending feedback - it really helps shape the game!Here’s what’s new in v0.3:Fonts are now larger - first step toward Steam Deck support.Clicking the trashcan now opens a larger trash area to prevent accidental misclicks. You can also drag & drop items directly onto it.The hero is now shown as an icon like followers. This is temporary while more weapon types are added (bows, wands, spellbooks, quivers, etc).Combat feels more lively: monsters move toward the hero, followers now have attack animations, and there are more effects overall.When creating a hero, you can now choose how many lives you start with: Unlimited, 3, or 1 (Roguelike).Hover tooltips now show more detailed stat information, such as % gained per stat point, current dodge %, and current attack speed.Added a new item rarity: items now start at Common instead of Uncommon.Later-level items now have lower maximum stat values, so level 5 items won’t spike as hard.Inventory expanded with 4 extra slots.First reroll when choosing a new stat is free.Combat log added inside dungeons (check bottom-right icon).Bank now supports entering custom amounts when depositing or withdrawing.There is now a proper chest that contains random loot.The first zone’s available events have been adjusted.Overworld map visuals updated.UI received small polish passes across multiple screens.Experimental system: item merging now ignores item level (e.g. level 1 + level 3). This will stay for v0.3 and v0.4 for feedback before deciding if it becomes permanent.Thanks again for playing - keep the feedback coming and enjoy the new update!Join the CommunityLootbane is a community-driven game, and your thoughts genuinely matter.
