DOPAMINER

Hello everyone!First of all, we want to thank you for the warm reception since the announcement and release of the DOPAMINER demo. We’ve been paying very close attention to your feedback and opinions about the game, and over the past few weeks we’ve been fixing bugs and adding a few changes.With the release of patch 0.1.4, available today, we wanted to go over everything that has changed in the game since day one:Gameplay & BalanceRemoved the delay before potion effects activate when picked up. Effects now trigger immediately once the potion crate is destroyed.Both damage upgrades have been buffed so the power increase is more noticeable.Modified the behavior of the Sparkball.It no longer disappears after colliding with explosive blocks and instead continues its path.Its bounce inertia and speed have been increased to make it behave more like regular shots.Unlock costs have been readjusted, mainly for the early skills. The start of the game should now feel more direct and require less grinding.Increased the time gems and resources remain on screen before disappearing.Explosive blocks have been modified so they explode sooner if shot multiple times.Adjustments to the end of an incursion:The character now stops shooting exactly when the incursion ends—neither slightly before (as in the original demo) nor slightly after (as in our first fix).The final incursion summary screen has been sped up. You can also now click directly on the options to go to the upgrade screen or start another run.Added the double shot upgrade after unlocking all the content available in the demo.VisualsUpdated the explosion VFX for explosive blocks.Added a breaking VFX to potion crates.Added tutorial and clarification texts:A reminder of the basic controls during the first incursion.An explanation of how to obtain materials during the second incursion.A warning about the effect of explosive blocks (without a doubt the biggest friction point we noticed from your feedback).Updated the explanatory...

Hello again!We’re excited to announce that the DOPAMINER demo is now available on Steam. We hope you enjoy it, and we’d love to hear what you think. And if you like it, adding the game to your wishlist helps us a lot!Over the past week, we’ve received valuable feedback from the demo we released on itch.io, and it helped us put together a better version for Steam: we’ve adjusted progression, added a few tutorials, fixed some small bugs, and polished the overall experience.That said, please remember this is a demo of a game still in development, so you may encounter bugs or technical issues. For anything you want to report or any feedback you’d like to share, you can use the Steam forums or the Google Form accessible from within the game.What about the Playtest?If you read our first post, you may remember we mentioned an upcoming Steam Playtest, and many of you signed up for it (thank you!). However, the additional review process required by Steam would have prevented us from releasing it when we wanted, and at this point it made much more sense to publish the demo directly and reach as many players as possible.We hope you enjoy the demo!- Javi, David & Gallardo
