Today, Simon is back with a recap of our previous update, and teasing some of what you can expect in our next update!
Hello Everyone,
It's Simon again, Lead Game Designer on Have a Nice Death. Are you ready for summer? Any vacations scheduled? (Death will be jealous)
Firstly, thank you everyone for your understanding with the delay of our last content update. It was a tough choice on our side but we ultimatetly decided we prefered for you to have a good experience without too many bugs than deliver on time but not optimal. We are commited so it doesn't have to happen again.
Also, more thanks for enthusiams and feedback about this upate. More and more of you are giving us interesting and important feedback. Thanks to our CM Marleine and our devoted moderators on Discord, our team has listened to what you felt could be improved. Althought a lot of it was already in the works.
What we noticed from you on this update:
You love LEON CLEAN
CAMILLE FLAGE is finally here (but maybe too easy for some of you)
You like ANIMAs now (but they might be too many)
JOCELYN is way too nice with you
You enjoy the new dialogs
YOU WANT EVEN MORE ATTACKS FOR SEVERAL THANAGERS
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, as the next update will tackle a lot of this. Again, I won't go into too many details but here's our plan for the next update:
REBALANCING
We are very aware of the INFUSE Mana build and the fact that a lot of spell combos are ABSURD, or that Sacrifix / Vladislaw are way too powerful. We also feel that many cloak weapons are not as strong as some spell, but mainly because of multi hit or cooldown. Then, we know that now there are a lot more HEALING options and it makes the game way easier. We knew the introduction of the anima fountain and the GREEDY ANIMA system would make it easy to always have some healing but we figured since we were maybe a bit too harsh on release, we wanted to be nice to you... AT LEAST FOR ONE PATCH.
SORROWS / THANAGERS
The last subject about balancing are the Sorrows / Thanagers. You have pointed out that Camille felt too easy for a W5 miniboss and it is not wrong but there is a underlying issue. It is not that Camille is weak, it is that the PLAYER is way too strong. I promise you if you fight Camille with no weapons and curses, she will kick you butt. But you are right, the later fights are less challenging to the nature of roguelike progression so we will look into this.
NEW CONTENT
As you probably guessed on our last roadmap, the next update is about food! We are really happy about the feeling and the enemies of this new department. We hope you won't get any acid reflux. The next bit of info about this new content is that we will polish a lot of elements to give you a better general feeling.
We can't wait to release the next content update, but meanwhile there's still some work (and meetings!!) to do.
From all the team, thank you again for your support, feedback, fan art, and encouraging words.
See you soon,
Simon
Nicely structured content that makes it easy to stay engaged throughout. The flow from one idea to the next is very smooth. I recently saw a similar topic discussed elsewhere where https://searenovation.com/ was mentioned briefly, adding a different viewpoint. Your explanation here feels more cohesive and reader friendly.
Thought-provoking and well-explained, the post does a great job of breaking down the subject into manageable parts. The clarity makes it accessible to a broad audience. It brought to mind a comparable discussion on https://www.carsoup.com/ that also highlighted key aspects effectively. This is a meaningful contribution that leaves readers with valuable takeaways.
Detailed yet easy to understand, this article explains the topic in a very approachable way. The examples make a big difference in clarity. I recently read something similar on https://tmccordlaw.com/ which aligned with parts of your explanation. This is the kind of content that truly helps readers connect with the subject.
It feels less like a formal update and more like a sincere conversation, which makes it engaging and easy to connect with. That kind of authenticity often makes a lasting impression on readers.What stood out to me most is the balance between personal insight and broader perspective—it gives readers something meaningful to think about while still keeping the message grounded. It’s always refreshing to see content that doesn’t try to overcomplicate things but instead focuses on clarity and honesty.I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog while reading about phony diploma, and it offered an interesting perspective on how thoughtful communication like this can resonate more deeply with an audience.
I use Popoig whenever I want to play something casual without committing to a full gaming session. The games load quickly and the categories are well-organized. It's become my go-to for quick breaks between tasks.
