Blightbound Dev Tracker

Overview Patch 1.1.2 is live. This patch took much longer than anticipated because it is the final planned patch for Blightbound. We wanted to make the patch is as well-rounded as possible because there is a good chance that we will stop active development for Blightbound after this patch. There were quite a few things we wanted to tweak and change in the game, such as changing the conditions for Malborys’ lifegoal, some quality-of-life changes, some UI changes, and a few bugs and issues players were still encountering. We also underwent extensive playtesting internally to make sure this patch is as stable as possible. In the build for this patch, after numerous sessions of internal playtesting on the current build for 1.1.2, we did not encounter any crashes or hard-locks, and we only encountered 2 soft-locks that we have already added fail-safes for.

Hey everyone! It's been a while and we've been working incredibly hard on getting Blightbound ready for 1.0!

The partial reason why this patch has taken so long is because we've been fixing so many bugs and making so many improvements. Every time we hit a milestone, we think "but it would be great if we can also include fixes from the next milestone..." and the whole process repeats itself and snowballs 😅

Check out the full list of changes here[blightbound.com].

We have some big announcements coming up for 1.0 but we're not quite ready to make them yet. Keep an eye out on this space and there should be some big juicy announceme... Read more

Hot off the presses, it's another patch! This time, we made some updates to Khuliath's fight (he shouldn't be so hard to kill due to invulnerability anymore), and we made a change to Monster Rings. Take a look down below!

Hotfix 0.2.2 17 August 2020

Refuge

• Small visual improvements to the Refuge.

Gameplay

Khuliath was causing issues for some players, where his encounter didn’t progress the way it should. This caused him to get stuck behind collision, and players unable to continue to the next arena. We’ve cleaned up this fight, making sure the fight always progresses normally.
• Fixed an issue where Khuliath did not jump to his next arena properly, causing a softlock in most cases.
  
• Slightly adjusted collision in Khuliath's second arena (there was a segment where players could walk on air).
  
  Tek'ka and Kujuk’s Gravity Well is effective, and a little too effective against ...

Since the last patch notes were so popular...

Here's another small hotfix! It's a saucy one though: check out the details:
Stability

• Fixed a desync issue that caused the connection to be lost after playing several matches with the same party. (There might be more desync bugs but we expect this to be a good improvement. Please let us know if you still get desyncs.) This is the beginning of their end.
  
• Fixed an issue that in rare cases caused a player to be stuck in a loading screen forever
  
• Fixed a crash on exit

Heroes

• Fixed a grammar issue in Kromn's personal goal description
  
• Kromn's personal goal now correctly displays that you have to collect 5 sunshards
  
• Your heroes' rating should no longer rise as fast from finishing games. This makes the game less likely to start on am impossible difficulty when you start with a fresh character after pla...
