Major Changes Sub-weapon stats no longer scale with player stat levels (power, vitality, agility). This scaling system caused some sub-weapons to become extremely large, have too many copies or become too fast. A new sub-weapon improvement system will be added in the near future. Different enemy formation waves (one-off waves where a bunch of enemies spawn in different shapes), enforcer robots (la...

Major changes Biome objects no longer respawn. This applies to all collectibles and harvestables. This was done to encourage exploration more, add value to finding new resources and also to keep a clear indication to where you have been or not before. Blossoms now have constant costs (no longer increase after each awakening), but the base cost of rare and exotic blossoms have been increased. Reduc...

Gear CoresAdd the new gear cores to your sub-weapons during the expedition to apply powerful effects! These cores can be crafted using most biome resources you find. You can access the new craft menu using a new button inside the upgrade pod.Each sub-weapon can equip up to 2 gear cores.

Custom TilesIn Survivesmith, the maps have always been randomly generated, 100% of the time. While their content were all hand-made and hand-animated, the map itself placed those content (trees, rocks and other objects) randomly all over the tiles. Now, we have created a bunch of "Custom" tiles that were handcrafted by ourselves!The custom tiles basically don't generate anything via random placeme...

Equipment -> GearsSub-weapons and Armor modules used to be collectively called "Equipment" up to now. But we decided that term was too broad and changed it to "Gears". Doesn't that sound a lot cooler?At a glance, you might not recognize any of the above gear. That's because all the gear got a new face now (for UI displays like this) but more importantly, "armor modules" are now more apparent as so...

Meta progression?Yes, Survivesmith being a rogue-lite game, meta-progression was bound to play a big part in the game. While all the previous playable builds of the game introduced some form of unlockables or upgrades for you to grind on, they were never the actual intended meta-progression in the game (most of them at least).With the opening of the new Bio-Lab, Survivesmith is finally starting to...

Time for playtest #2!Hey there! We are back with the 2nd playtest for SurviveSmith (yes, I'm trying to call it that way now instead of SurviveSmith as a single word). There are a lot of changes this time compared to the demo vs playtest #1. It's mostly system changes, improvements, better tutorials and (hopefully) a lot less bugs. There are some new content as well but new content isn't our focus ...

Sub-Biome HazardsThe term "Biome Hazards" used to describe the random environmental hazard events that occurred throughout a level. "Sub-Biome Hazards" are however, persistent within all sub-biomes, until you get the equipment necessary to navigate it (more on that later).Each sub-biome throws a completely different type of challenge for you to conquer. None of the sub-biomes are "easier" to navig...
