Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0.2 is now releasing!

Just a quick followup bugfix patch this time. In particular v4.0.2 fixes a nasty bug added in v4.0.1 that caused crystal weapons to degrade MUCH faster than intended.

After a bit too long of a wait, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0.1 has released!

This patch is aimed at smaller changes to improve on v4.0, but there are pretty big changes to the new crystal enchantment and unseen enemies in the vault quest:

Secretly cursing @katkruger.bsky.social for telling me about Shattered Pixel Dungeon shatteredpixel.com. 😂 I forgive her, tho, because I found out she's one of the writers for BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL (3rd ed) boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35... - one of my favourite co-operative board games!

Hey Dungeoneers, ShatteredPD v4.0.0 has been released! v4.0.0 is arguably Shattered's biggest update yet! There's a massive new quest, a bunch of new in-game art, 6 new enchantments, and plenty smaller changes and adjustments.

Coming Soon to Shattered: The Vault Quest!

After far too long of a wait, v4.0.0 is finally ready for beta! This update ended up ballooning in size from just adding a new quest, I'd say it's arguably Shattered's biggest update yet!

Hey folks, the beta for Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0 should be ready tomorrow or Saturday! Here's one final teaser, if you're able to get to the end of the vault, expect an assortment of upgraded loot! You can only take one thing back though, choose wisely!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is 12 years old as of today! Polish on the next update is coming along well, expect the beta before August 15th! Here's one more upcoming vault treasure room with some pretty rapid fire traps. You'll need some item to get past them unscathed.

Status Update: v4.0 Beta Soon!

v4.0 is extremely close to being beta-ready, but to ensure that it's not rushed (and also for the sake of my stress levels) I'm going to be moving that beta ETA back a little bit to the first half of August.

Work continues on Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next quest! I'm working on the final boss currently: the Greater Elemental can swap forms, each one has weaknesses and attacks! Here's probably the simplest attack, a wave of fire with a convenient gap:

I'll have more new content to show off next weekend, but here's a QOL change coming in Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next update. Instead of fading, danger indicators will now persist until the thing they are warning you about actually happens!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon's upcoming quest has an important room with a strange mirror. You can't take items when into the vault, so wouldn't it be nice if there was a way for the heroes to regain their signature items... (visuals are a WIP)

It's crazy how long every little aspect of game development takes. You're like, "Oh, I'll just fix this little thing," so you work on it for around 30 minutes then look at the clock and realize that actually 3 hours has gone by.

With a bunch of new pixel art coming in the next ShatteredPD update, I've decided to update the changes scene to use historically accurate visuals, and I've also added change notes from the original Pixel Dungeon! Current on left and new on right:

I'm still working away at Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0, for now here's another easy treasure room appearing in the upcoming quest! You'll need to make use of that pillar to avoid getting caught by the scanning sentry on the way to the treasure.

v4.0 has ended up being a much bigger update than expected! I'm going to share a quick update on the vault quest, then go over some very exciting things also coming in v4.0.

Expect a status update blog post about Shattered Pixel Dungeon later this coming week. In the meantime though, here's another new larger room coming in the vault quest! It's a long hallway with a patrolling enemy and alcoves to duck out of sight.

Expect a blog post about progress toward Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0 the next week or so, but first here's a little teaser. A bunch of improvements are coming to environment visuals, including to the upcoming vault quest before it even releases!

Here's two more new/returning enchantments coming in the next Shattered Pixel Dungeon update! Eldritch has a chance to fear visible enemies other than your target. Crystal ALWAYS deals +25% magic damage but will crack and break if used too heavily.

I'm also planning to add four new weapon enchantments and two new weapon curses in the next update to Shattered Pixel Dungeon! Here's two: venemous can stack up a lot of DOT but on a delay, and vorpal can replace regular damage with a bleed effect.
