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.

Added option to disable visual noise. Added option to auto restart boss fights on death. Trio boss now stays in slow-motion after right click. Child is now vulnerable during skull swarm. Child heads have a little less HP.
- Remembrance I Berserk Arrows do not immediately damage player on spawn
Time to vague post my patch notes. Dialogue no longer happens when starting that particular fight. The Hand no longer improves your cooking forever. Achievements no longer automatically unlock when reenabling achievements after defeating bosses. One Hit mode can now unlock "progress."
MINI-DEAD: TAROT IS OUT NOWIt took a long time but that's only on a human scale. In the scale of the universe it took no time at all.The base game will update automatically. The menu will show version 4.0.0.0Here's a hint: Join the DiscordIt's buzzing right now as everyone discovers the secrets of the game. If you need help on how to progress you can ask the lovely folks herehttps://discord.gg/3RvHuvh
You Asked For ThisAs soon as I spoke about Accessibility in Mini-Dead: Tarot, users on the Discord immediately ask for options that did the opposite. They wanted settings that made the game harder.Okay. Yeah. Sure.I want that too. So here you go. Once you've completed Tarot you will unlock the Remembrances in the options menu. RemembrancesEnabling a remembrance will spawn additional attacks at random times.This is not recommended.You can pick which attacks spawn in or enable everything at once.Remembrance IWill spawn attacks from Fetus, Iris and Berserker. Fetus's rotating beam will span the a
An Actual Easy Mode?For those of you that have played my other game, Dead, will know that Easy Mode is big fat lie, but should there be an actual easy mode for Dead and Mini-Dead? The topic of whether or not Dark Souls should have an easy mode is very divisive. My answer is yes, so let's go over what the options are and why.Optional settings for those who require them. Completing Mini-Dead with these settings is a valid playthrough.REGENERATE HP MODEEvery three seconds you heal a hit point. In Mini-Dead you get four hits and you're out. There is no way to get health points back but with this m
HELLO!It took a long time and I could spend another six years tinkering but at some point you just have to say it's good enough. You've all waited far too long but the wait is finally coming to an end on June 20th.Until then, I'll be posting more updates and snippets and thingies leading up to the big day so don't bloody go anywhere!See you then!Join the Discord where I hang out.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32624832/85227c25ddedbd3446727ed449b8a17217d9dd7e.png It's been a while. TL;DR 2025 release Look, I've got good news! No bad news either, just good. I know I haven't been as communicative as I should but long story short, Tarot is closer to release. I'm wrapping up the sound design of Tarot now and it's been enlightening. The Mini-Dead base game has about 20 or so audio files. That includes sounds for posses, UI and music. Tarot has over 175 audio files! Bosses are more distinct have more complex move sets. There's also lots of secret things that need audio too. It's all get
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32624832/c7875c8c794e258c51a093b5ebd15a5d7b76b6e4.png GETTING THERE Good news. Even though the last update was nearly a year ago, I am happy to update you all on what's been going on and where we are now. If you're not on the Milo Games discord server, I hang out there every hour and post updates quite frequently. A big milestone was completed this evening: Transitions and cut scenes. Up to now, going from boss to menu was just a simple transition from one screen to another. Not very exciting and not very rewarding when you spend 3 hours on a boss only for a default windows
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32624832/dd89a59d5d416fc11f7c483c35a762058e3abd52.png Hi everyone, Alec here. This is the biggest part of the development is complete! The game play is 100% finished and no more creative decisions need to be made and I’m finally happy with how the bosses play. Making a game that feels fun takes a lot of work and getting to the point where, at minimum, everything is playable is a big achievement! What's next? Balancing - Beta testing, feedback and making sure the game is fun. Bug fixing - More beta testing and tidying up loose ends. Checking for exploits and ensuring Steam wo

I can't give a month yet, but progress is steady enough that it should be sometime in 2022. My personal life is very busy so working on the game is not a regular thing. However, I've not given up on
Mini-Dead is now fast Mini-Dead is now on v2.0.0.6. This solves an issue which must have existed for months now in which the game actually runs at half the speed. This has now been fixed, so I recommend trying the game again at the true intended difficulty. Other changes include: Changing the behaviour of buttons to trigger on mouse press, rather than mouse release. This should make menus feel more responsive. Safety period at the start of the fight Now, when a fight begins, Ember cannot be damaged. You are free to watch the bosses perform their attacks in total safety. Once you click, you bec

Not Dead Firstly, it's alive and still in development. Summer 2020 was the original goal and, you may have noticed, that didn't happen. Last year was eventful and it wasn't easy for me to work on the game. I have real life things to do that eat up my time, plus developing a game that's fun is hard. Release date It's hard to say. This is why I don't usually announce release dates because I'm very likely to miss it. I assume it'll come out th
