Backpack Hero will continue!

We plan to make more updates, more improvements, and new content.

There will not be any major updates this week. The team will use this time to develop a new roadmap and consider transitioning to local Mac and Windows builds. We will also create a KickStarter and transition to a paid version. We want to support the free version as long as possible, but unfortunately development is now costing us money.  We need to transition to a commercial model.

Just to be clear there will be at least one more update to the free web version. And we do not plan to remove or downgrade the web version in any way. We hope to keep it available!

What features do we have planned?

• Other things we have planned:
  • A complete redesign of archery
  • Items that move around in your inventory
  • New enemy behaviors, including stealing items from your backpack
  • New status effects - including freezing enemies and reflecting damage
  • The ability to use items outside of combat
  • Improved dungeon generation
  • Better balance with combat rewards
  • New level-up system
  • More in depth stat-tracking
  • Widescreen support
  • Improved performance
  • Bug fixes, polish, better balance, gameplay and quality of life improvements

Other things we are considering, but may depend on a successful KickStarter:
