Hey Patrons!
With v2.0.0 finally out, I’m now looking into what content I want to put into v2.1.0. I want it to be a fairly light and quick update, but currently the only actual new content I have in mind are the two exotic enemy variants you guys voted on previously. There is obviously room for a little more, so I’ve compiled a few ideas for fairly simple additions that could also be...

Hey Patrons!
Based on the results of last poll, I’ve been lacking some confidence on the Duelist’s third armor ability. It did very poorly on that poll, and I do agree that it wasn’t very exciting compared to the other two options. I’ve been thinking on this a bit and have come up with ...

Currently the entire Duelist base class is implemented, as well as one subclass and one armor ability. The Duelist's sprite and hero armor are also using placeholder visuals.
Please let me know what you think! I'm going to try and add a second armor ability and fix any major issues before moving on to beta.

Hey Patrons, Happy New Year, I’m still sick!
I’m feeling much better than last week, but still have a bit of a hoarse voice and am regularly sneezing/coughing. I was able to do the audio Q&A though, this month there were 13 questions from 8 different Patrons.
In terms of Shattered work, I have managed to get a bit done. Currently the Duelist base class is almost totally comp...

Hey Patrons, hope you’re all having a good holiday break!
I’ve been very busy this last week or so with various family Christmas things, and to top it all off, I got sick! It’s just a cold, nothing serious, but it’s enough to occupy what little time I had set aside to do Shattered work over these two weeks. Also, with a hoarse voice, it’s literally impossible for me to properly ...

Hey Patrons!
Work on the Duelist is well underway, and with both subclasses roughly defined, there’s the obvious question of which one I should implement first! I will likely start the alpha/beta for v2.0.0 before the Duelist is content-complete, so the result of this poll will likely decide which subclass everyone gets to play with first!
The winning choice will be the fi...
