Rise of the Slime

About this game

  Post launch update

  Hello there people, Now that the game has been out for a bit, i wanted to post an update with my comments together with the latest patch. First of all - Thank You to everyone who tried Rise of the Slime so far! It has been a rocky start for the lil' slime 😅 This was my first major game release and overall im very happy with the game and the fact that it launched ( altho it seems like a lot of people did not like the direction i took it in 😅) - im grateful to all of you who gave the game a chance and i hope that the game has brought joy to at least some of you! Many things went right, but many things went slightly sideways too, leaning in too much on more wild swings for combat difficulty is quite big misfire on my part atm that seemed to be allright in prelaunch game tests with smaller groups of people but in reality situation seems to be different when game got to the masses. On the positive side - Im glad that many people did like the aesthetic of the game and the idea of it. Maybe leaning in on more casual fun might have been a better idea on some level. I have been following the feedback and thinking on what i can do to improve some of the problem aspects that people had issue with. On the patch side: i have been working on fixing some of the more critical issues with game that we had on consoles ( memory leaks leading to crashes, UX thingies and some other stuff ) as well as fixing overall bugs that popped up once more people started flooding in and playing the game more intensely. Patch notes for main interest points for update on steam: - added option for preview bubble during gameplay that increases text size on cards - added another check for save loading and moved saves to between-rooms - chests can now be opened based on distance, not top chest for gamepad - can pick up pots with ranged on gamepad - can flip direction with gamepad - removed corrupted enemies as they were introducing too much confusion for players sometimes - changed multiple core mutation...
