Hello hello everyone!

In celebration of the announcement of my next game, The Soulwalkers, I decided to take some time to give Spirits of the Hellements one last content update. 1.4 introduces 22 new bonus maps, themed after the Soul Realm that you'll be traversing in The Soulwalkers.

These maps are going to be a bit different from the ones that you've played in the main game, and they all share the same general map terrain. Some of them feature limited or no mazing, some of them I'm not even sure can be completed at all. Think of these maps as custom/"just for fun" vibe maps that you'll only be playing if you've already completed everything else already and want to play some more.

Thanks to everyone who's supported the game so far I'm finally able to work on my dream game, The Soulwalkers, which is a single player roguelike autobattler. If you haven't already please give the game a wishlist! It's the best way to continue supporting me for the future even if you don't plan on picking the game up. Thanks!

Hello hello everyone!

I’m very happy to be announcing my next game, The Soulwalkers! It’s a singleplayer roguelike autobattler/autochess style game where you draft a team of heroes to fight your battles. If you’re interested and would like to support development I’d be very grateful if you could take the time to wishlist the game. Wishlisting the game at this stage is the most important factor of determining how successful the launch will be, so please wishlist!

It’s always been a dream of mine to make an autobattler and with the support of you guys here I’m finally able to do it! Let me know what you think of the trailer and I can’t wait to show you guys more.

Wishlist now:

Hello hello everyone! Excited to announce that Spirits of the Hellements is partnering with Tiny Tactics to bring you the Maze Builder Bundle!

If you're looking for more tower defense mazing action I highly recommend checking out Tiny Tactics. The thing that sets it apart from other games is it's use of autobattler mechanics. If you've ever played games like Auto Chess, Teamfight Tactics, or Dota Underlords you'll feel right at home here. If not then it'll be a great introduction to the genre!

If you already own Spirits of the Hellements then purchasing this bundle gives you a 10% discount on Tiny Tactics. Check out the bundle here:

Hello hello everyone! Got a smaller content update for you guys today. Hope you have fun and I wish you all a happy holiday season!

*I also have an update for the future of SotH that you can read down below.

2 new maps for you guys! Hope you're not afraid of spiders.
Translations have been added for the following languages:

• French
  
• Portuguese - Brazil

• Spanish
  
• Simplified Chinese

If you have any feedback on the translations feel free to start a thread on the forums or on the discord!

• Steam cloud saves are now active
  
• Backups of your save are now created automatically on startup. Corrupted save files should now be a thing of the past.

• You are now much more likely to get a hellement tier up option in endless mode.
  
• Chaos breaches in endless mode now only offer souls and blessings if you've reached a point where there are no more any tiles left to create new hellements.
  
• Attempting to restart the game from the defeat menu now prompts you for confirmation.
  
• Shrine of Greed's gold generation speed no longer takes more than 3 seconds.

• Fixed an issue where Sniper Spirit's "Shield Breaker" ability would reduce damage against enemies with negative armor.
  
• Fixed an issue where Explosive Spirit's "Meteor Radius" buttons would not properly disable.
  
• Fixed a visual bug where hovering over the wind tile would show incorrect values for the slow effect's duration.
  
• Fixed a bug where purchasing Laser Spirit's "Level Up" upgrade would not count towards his resale amount/soul value stat.
  
• Fixed multiple issues with checkpoints on Sloth/Pride shrines.
  
• Shrine of Sloth no longer petrifies Laser Spirit if a clone is placed next to the shrine.
  
• Fixed an issue where placing a Spirit would reset Explosive Spirit's meteor radius if Explosive was affected by Divine Spirit's "Clairvoyance" upgrade.

Finally I'd like to update you guys on my plans for the future. I had originally planned on giving the game an expansion with new Spirits, maps, and mechanics sometime next year. Unfortunately I've come to the decision that that will no longer be happening. A couple months ago between update 1.1 and 1.2 I went through a period where I was heavily burnt out on development, and as a result it became very difficulty for me to even open up Unity and get any sort of work done. Even this smaller update had me dragging my feet to get to the finish line.

Instead I'm looking towards starting a brand new project using everything I've learned over the past year and a half of developing SotH. I've been playing around with lots of new interesting ideas that have rekindled a lot of the excitement I used to have with game dev. It won't be another tower defense but I have feeling that it's in a genre that a lot of you are interested in.

*Note that I will still be updating the game to fix bugs and any issues that arise.

Thank you all for your continued support and I wish you all a happy holidays!

• Fixed an issue where restarting the dojo map would always reload your last checkpoint.

Please note that this fix will reset your current run on Dojo. Sorry about the inconvenience!
