Summer greetings unto you all, Quarterstaffers!<\/p>\n

As you may have guessed, we\u2019re participating in Steam\u2019s Sale this year! Quarterstaff is now on sale for a whopping 50% off, taking the cost of the game down to $9.99 USD! Act soon, the sale started on June 29, and will end on July 13. This is a great time to share Quarterstaff with your friends and family!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the sale, we\u2019ve released an update that bears a TON of additions, improvements, and some minor changes to levels like the Arena. This is probably the most significant update we\u2019ve made to date, and we can\u2019t wait for you to check it out! We also cut a new trailer using all the new and improved assets. You can watch it at our YouTube Channel here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

First, you may notice that our temp enemies are slowly disappearing from the game. We\u2019ve added brand-new animations for enemies in the Blighted Trail, the Bandit Hills, The Necropolis, and even the Dryads in the Sacred Forest have experienced a sinister glow-up. Be sure to visit these areas again \u2013 the Sacred Forest levels have slightly changed in difficulty, due to the introduction of Dryad Sentinels. They can\u2019t move, but they can send their roots from afar to make your life more difficult. Defend and Teleport! We believe in your victory! Remember, you can adjust your stats at any time according to the unique challenges that our levels present.<\/p>\n

Next up, our Necropolis Maps are complete! These were a massive labor of love, and are best experienced in-game. Go and enjoy the moody vibes of these maps as you struggle against the so-called Chosen Ones. They\u2019re not as tough as they seem, I promise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also added some stunning VFX to the Confounding and Lightning Staff Flourishes. If you\u2019ve been collecting the saplings on your journey, you\u2019ll be able to see these right away! My favorite is the Lightning flourish because, well\u2026I won\u2019t spoil it. Like all the other updates, it\u2019s better enjoyed in-game.<\/p>\n

The Arena has also experienced some changes. In addition to new enemies, the challenges have ramped up! Have you ever gotten a multiplier of 300? I\u2019ve only managed to get up to around 260 before making a mistake and having to start over again. It\u2019s entirely possible to do this, and we\u2019d love to see how high you can get your multipliers!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also been several UI improvements, including the completion of all the spell icons, and some new status effect icons for opponents. These improvements to the UI will continue as time passes, so this is just the beginning in terms of beautification.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can catch a sneak peek of all of these changes in our video here:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”885.3px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/genericlakemonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/June_29th_Update.mp4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-5px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It\u2019s a big update, so be sure to log in to Steam and start downloading so you can get down to business as soon as possible!<\/p>\n
