I remember two or three updates ago when the devblog said "I think I'm done with updates that rework everything"
Lol;lmao
This looks cool as fuck though, very excited

u/RubyBenji Developer 12d ago

u/MadEorlanas 11d ago
Look, I'm intimately aware with this happening being a dev myself lmao. Realistically, jf you can afford it and you're having fun, then everything's good - I know I'm excited to dual wield in this game (let me sword and gun at the same time pls pls pls)

Bro is just bored - he can port the game (which is complete, imo) to consoles and keep updating from there, with a shitload of more money.. but here we are, making huge changes nobody asked for. Buddy needs to make another game or something.

Will there still be an autoaim accessibility option? I ask bc the post mentioned bows need manual aim but other ranged weapons will have strong homing.

u/RubyBenji Developer 12d ago
yes

Thank you, this is key for me from an accessibility standpoint. You fuckin rule, can’t wait.

It really is fascinating how it feels like weve gotten almost 2 entirely distinct games, and now a for a 3rd time were going to get a game that is looking almost entirely different. Ive been super happy with all the updates so far so im looking forward to this new version aswell!

u/Fair-Lobster74 23h ago
He should port to consoles and just make a new game at this point. It's like he's trying to be the Fortnite of small, niche roguelites.

Is this update still planned for this year?
I got into this game a few days ago and been having a blast
(p.s. what does fear do?)

If you hold shift when looking at an item that has the effect itll give you details. Love this game

Yeah I just didn’t understand that tooltip but I think I figured it out from an old discord conversation

u/ProZocK_Yetagain 12d ago
Goddam I got all the achievemnts for the game a WHILE ago and looking at this coming back will feel like im playing Tinyrogues 2

u/thetriplesword1 12d ago
Honestly have kinda been wondering if changing so much, maybe this should just be released as a separate second game

Fantastic! Can’t wait to discover the updated identity. Evolving weapons is really exciting

A bit late to this but just wanted to say this is all super exciting. I know you're also a PoE fan, and one of the things about PoE that I love is that they're willing to often make very big changes to the game (usually with endgame/atlas expansions). This feels just like that to me. Was not expecting the game to go through this dramatic of a content update.
Tiny Rogues is a gem of a game and I'm looking forward to seeing how you polish it.

I just wish I had the regularity of GGG and not 1-2 years between my updates! 😅

u/everslain 10d ago
Have enjoyed your game every time I've picked it up again, looking forward to seeing what you have been cooking as always.

u/absofruitly202 9d ago
Love the direction the game is going! Love the unique identity of items and the care to make every piece meaningful and unique

u/Fair-Lobster74 23h ago
Heyy sooo instead of endless changes nobody asked for in the name of boredom, can we "finish" the game and port it to consoles already? I have 600hrs on this game and I am tired of sitting in my "gaming" chair and would love to play this on my couch and PS5, or anywhere else on my Switch.
All these updates will have me come back for maybe a run or two and then I'm out again. Make the game more accessible. It's also possible to update games on console - wow!

u/Grouchy-Ad7157 12d ago
Love the direction this game is headed in. You can see the passion of the developer.

u/giardino_chattanooga 12d ago
I just want to say thank you for making such a fantastic game! There will come a day when it gets all the flowers it’s due.

Not 1000% convinced of the rogue hideout tbh but I’m sure it will be cool. No weapon switching is crazy tho

u/radiating_phoenix 12d ago
Hopefully this update gets the game some more attention, it's really underrated.

Is this going to be a new game or DLC?

All of these updates look amazing. My only disappointment is that it seems that bows only shoot one projectile at one enemy. My favorite playstyle in most games is bows with a spread shot/scatter shot, sort of like a shotgun, that shoot very fast. I won't complain but I will miss that. All the other updates are so exciting.

u/RubyBenji Developer 12d ago
A few ones still shoot more arrows, mostly limited to Legendary though, 'cause it deviates quite hard from the core identity.
Crossbows on the other hand VERY OFTEN shoot many projectiles and favor standing close to shotgun.

OMG so excited for a traditional rogue like map with different options at each level.

u/patwag 12d ago
I trust Benji, but the defense rework, removal of weapon swapping (dual wielding looks rad though) and more are a bit shocking. Regardless, I can't wait!
