A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Big change - the 6 previous weapon skills are now merged into 3. Having such specific weapon skills was causing too much upgrade lock-in, and most of the weapons in the game couldn't even be equipped on a single run. Other changes: Map vision stays around for longer Slightly more morsels in the mid and late game Ghost allies are not quite as tough with the Ghost whisperer ability Improved balance of NG+++ player upgrade scaling

By popular request - you can now use morsels in combat. Hold the B button (Q on keyboard) to consume your smallest morsel. Morsels are still scarce, so use wisely! Other changes: Fixed accessories equipped to their existing slot causing them to be unequipped when reloaded Fixed over-queuing of attacks when doing a sweeping attack or running stab Fixed over-queuing of dodges when taking damage, particularly from ballistas Marrow frenzy ability moved to Y button (hold to activate) Greatsword slams are easier to land Improved some of the end-game story scripting Increased Resilience effectiveness

I've mostly been working on stability, but some gameplay tweaks too. Unfortunately there are still a number of ongoing crashes out there. Major Fixes Fixed crash when changing weapons quickly after deflecting an arrow Checkpoint files are backed up before saving or starting a NG+, to prevent lost progress in the case of corrupted save files Fixed crash changing graphics setting Fixed crash in UI Performance Full res torch shadows disabled Gameplay If you accidentally damage Anna too much, she will forgive you after killing you once Halberd does more damage to compensate for its higher requirem

DarkMaus is a great name for a game that is basically Dark Souls, but starring a mouse. DarkMaus is out now on Steam, and features bonfires, medieval combat, and even an interface highly reminiscent of From Software's game. The major difference, of course, is that you are a mouse. And your enemies are other mice, along with spiders, crows, and other creatures mice probably encounter in their daily lives. There's also this mechanic, which sounds interesting: "Each time you die, an ally ghost is summoned that retraces your steps, fighting by your side. With time you can collect multipl
