Latest on Steam: Build 20241007
Update available
Build 20241007
Oct 3, 2025
Updated the project's unity version and re-built the game because of Unity Security Vulnerability.
Alignment required to enter endgame floors is now 2 by default, down from 4. (Alignment is being removed in the next major update so might as well make this less annoying in the meantime.)
Removed the console log when the "Legacy Stamina" Game Rule is ON. (Not needed, it can be seen in the stamina bar.)
Removed lengthy console log which explained that game rules don't affect your ability to earn achievements or game progress. (Behavior is still the same.)
Added new splash line: "Now without massive Unity security exploit!".
Had to push out this hotfix because the Unity security issue, Tiny Rogues was not affected by half of them due to being built in IL2CPP.
More news and teasers on the big next update coming soon. Still working hard on it every day! Progress has been great!

Build 17693434
Mar 12, 2025
Fixes
- Fixed that the effects of Bombardment Tome and Knife Summon Tome didn't actually work. Bombardment Tome can now be upgraded with Illegal Gun Parts and the Knife Summon Tome with Blacksmith Whetstone.
- Samurai's Dashing Strike skill now aborts when the player is teleported. E.g.: when going through a door.
General Changes
- These camera shakes are not forced upon you anymore (they are now affected by the option): Centurion Hunter Indicator, Centurion Hunter Appearance, Super Flight Skill, Infestation Explosions
- Added 2 new Options to the Video Options tab. "Camera Update Method" and "Interpolate Player Rigidbody". I highly recommend that you turn on Player Rigidbody Interpolation in case you switch to Camera Late Update. Some players report choppy gameplay on highframerates and ask me to change the Camera Update from Fixed Update to Late Update. You can now accomplish this in the option menu. In my experience Fixed Update without Interpolation (so the default) looks smoother at low and mid FPS.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/b5578271501e49b05ba8669f9c2dede62280890c.png
- Added a new tab to the Options Menu: Game Rules. Currently there are 4 Game Rules in the game. You can toggle Equip Load Penalties. You can toggle the Enemy Health and Armor bonus from the 0.2.8.4 Update. You can unlock all classes (only on Beta) and you can go back to old Stamina Recovery.
To be more specific, the legacy Stamina Recovery Option halves your Stamina Recovery Time but instead makes it so you only generate 1 Stamina Point any time the bar fills.
When you spawn into a run with Game Rules enabled there will be a message in the Console displaying that those Game Rules are indeed enabled. The message is visible for 10 seconds. (This nuisance is the only downside of Game Rules.)

- Cowboy Hat: Now grants +30% Lucky Hit Chance with Ranged Weapons, previously +20%.
- Talisman: Now grants +20% Lucky Hit Chance, previously +10%.
I've had the idea for the Game Rules tab for a long time. Not every player cares about "my vision" and I don't like standing in their way of enjoying the game.
It's inspired by Game Rules in Minecraft and even I, a person who usually never mods games and fully immerses themselves in other developers visions, have played with e.g.: Fire Spreading Off before. So I am not exempt of this happening or wanting such a feature in a game.
I will always make changes that I think are the best. If you trust "my vision" then you won't mess with game rules but if you are convinced something was a big mistake and is detrimental to your enjoyment - you can now change it.
I hope to add more game rules in the future, especially when more "spicy" or "hot topic" changes come.
I made the Console show which Game Rules are toggled for the case of Challenge Run or Speedrun videos. Most likely those are the only players that care about an even playing field.
I hope it suffices as an indicator.
If you have any ideas for additional Game Rules, please let me know!
Cheerio,

Build 17683794
Mar 11, 2025
Fixes
- Fixed that Ice Dragon, Arcane Golem, Jousting Champion and Scholar Mages would still be wearing Santa hats sometimes.
- Fixed that Chaos would be able to roll Santa's loadout.
- Fixed the outdated information provided when you got Cursed for the first time.
- Fixed that Spinners from Flails and Bibles would not count towards Orbital Count for e.g.: Esper's "Mama's Stuff" trait.
- Fixed that the Puppeteer Set Bonus and Esper's "Mental Link" trait would not work at the same time. If both are active, Companion Damage now applies at 125% value to you.
- Fixed a game freeze that could happen when spawning into a run.
- Fixed a game freeze that could happen when somehow starting a run without having a class selected.
- Put in additional safeguards to prevent game freezes from happening when Boss Pedestals run out of rewards to give. (E.g.: because too many dice were used.) The game should now also show Error Messages if it happens so that this can be further improved in the future.
- Fixed that Flame Wall from Pyromancer could be placed significantly further away than the indicator would show.
General Changes
- Damage and Area increase gained from Power now falls off harder. (I don't understand my own formular so I can't tell you by how much.)
- The Kuo-Tao Merchant (both in the Reef and in Black Market) no longer sells the Jellyfish Companion anymore.
- The following Companions can now be acquired by fishing: Snail, Eel, Jellyfish and Pistol Shrimp.
Status Effect Changes
- Bleed: Damage reduced from 105-150 to 70-105.
- Burn: Damage reduced from 90-125 to 55-75.

- Frostburn: Damage reduced from 90-105 to 70-85.

- Poison: Damage reduced from 10-20 to 10-15.
- Shadow Fangs: Damage increased from 5-15 to 10-20.
- All scalings of: Bleed, Burn, Disintegration, Echo, Frostburn, Necrosis, Poison, Shadow Fangs, Glimmer and Nettles are now S/S/S, previously A/A/A.
- Secondary ailments, namely: Corruption, Diffusion, Frostbite, Judgement, Roots, Rupture, Scorch, Toxic and Zap now apply a x1.30 multiplier to their Damage Type, previously x1.25.
- Fragility: Now applies a x1.40 multiplier to Damage Over Time taken, previously x1.30.
Weapon Changes
- Ivy Scroll: Damage reduced from 110-135 to 80-100.
- Fireball Wand: Attack speed reduced from 1.5 to 1.25. Damage reduced from 115-170 to 80-120.
- Toad Plague Scroll & Spider Summon Tome: Fixed that multiplicative Companion Damage increases would not apply correctly to these Weapons. They still aren't calculated 100% correctly due to technical limitations in this quick fix. For the purpose of these Weapons, multiplicative bonuses will work but as additive bonuses.
- Ocarina of Time: Damage reduced from 350-425 to 315-385.
- Aurora Scroll: Damage reduced from 520-775 to 425-635. Aurora Damage reduced from 210-315 to 170-255. Scaling changed from C/C/S to -/S/S.

- Excalibur: Trigger Damage reduced from 60-125 to 75-100.
- True Excalibur: Trigger Damage reduced from 80-155 to 90-125.
- Death Sickles: Damage reduced from 100-130 to 90-120.
- Titan Sickle: Damage reduced from 85-110 to 75-105.
- Gungnir: Damage reduced from 240-320 to 215-290.
- Necrosword: Damage reduced from 190-285 to 175-260.

- Boneforce: Damage reduced from 120-165 to 110-150.
- Kraken: Damage reduced from 100-130 to 90-120.
- Michelangebow: Damage reduced from 125-190 to 115-175.
- Phantasm: Damage reduced from 140-190 to 130-175.

- Spirit Wolf: Damage reduced from 55-95 to 55-75.
- Jellyfish: Now have an Attack Speed of 0.5, previously 1.0. (They were too good at applying Shock for you. I originally wanted to increase their weight so you can only have 1 Jellyfish but I decided against it last minute because it's an iconic staple companion at this point.)
Equipment Changes
- Vampire Cloak: Doesn't make you Hearts count as Soul Hearts anymore. Now grants +10% Damage per missing Heart Container. Now weights 20 Equip Load, previously 30. Now recovers 2 Hearts on defeating a Boss, previously 1.
- Cloak of Mystra: Now grants +25% Damage per Mana Container you have, previously x1.10 Magic Damage per Mana Container.
- Archwizard Hat: Now grants +100 Power when you have at least 30 Intelligence, previously would grant +100% Skill Effect.
- Pyromancy Gloves: Now grant +20% Burn Damage, previously +4 seconds to Burn Duration.
- Bishop Hat: Now inflicts Judgement to all Enemies in the Room, previously would make Weapons at Upgrade Level 4 and higher inflict Judgement.
- Kabuto: Now grants +125% Critical Hit Damage while wielding a Weapon at Upgrade Level 4 and higher. Previously it would grant +125% Critical Hit Damage TO Weapons at Upgrade Level 4 and higher. (This means the Critical Hit Damage bonus is now applied to you, instead of the Weapon and thus also works on other sources of Damage than your Weapon now.)
- Meteor Set: The Set Bonus now grants +20% Melee Damage per Mana Container you have and +20% Magic Damage per Armor Container you have. Previously, +20% Mana Recovery per Mana Container.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/8df76c0f4fb7c5eb30c314fc505aa668bef947c5.png
Trait Changes
- Forethought: Has a completely new effect, instead of granting 10% Attack Speed per missing Mana it now grants "Your Hearts count as Soul Hearts." and "Recover 1 Heart upon entering a Floor.".
- Spellblade: Now grants Attack Speed based on missing Mana, previously based on Mana Containers.
- Pushing Through: Now grants +0.3% Damage, Stamina Recovery Speed and Movement Speed per Equip Load on you, previously +0.5% each.
- Grenadier: Damage increased from 295-365 to 365-445. Now triggers a Grenade every 4 seconds, previously every 3 seconds.
- Cull the Weak: Now also applies Fatigue, which is now purely a x0.80 Movement Speed Debuff, every 4 seconds to the Enemy with the lowest Health.
- Exit Strategy: This trait now, in addition to refreshing the Damage Over Time effects, now also ticks all Damage Over Time effects once per Stamina Container you have.
- Opportunistic: Has a completely new effect, instead of making Damage from Skills apply Fatigue Debuff, it now grants x1.20 Damage at Far Range while there are fewer than 4 Enemies in the Room and x1.30 Damage at Close Range while there are more than 2 Enemies in the Room.
- Bramble Growth: In addition to making Nature Damage inflict Bleed this trait now also grants x2.00 effect of Nettles.
- Fire and Blood: Now only applies a x0.35 Damage multiplier on Bleed and Burn, previously x0.25.
- Rage: The Rage Buff now stacks up to 40 times, granting 1% Attack Speed per stack. Previously 10 stacks with 4% each. Rage now decays one stack after another instead of at the same time. Melee Attacks now grant 5 Stacks of Rage, previously 2.
- Savage Wounds: Has a completely new effect, instead of making Bleed ticks apply Vulnerability it now makes it so that Attacks from you and your Companions tick Damage Over Time effects on the target.
- Unforgiving: This trait additionally makes Damage from your Skills apply Vulnerability now. The Vulnerability applied is also affected by the "+100% Effect of Ailments and Debuffs inflicted by Skills" that this trait grants. A lot of edge cases of this trait not actually working at all have been fixed. E.g.: Arrest from Soldier, Jinx from Deprived, Consecrate from Cleric and Holy Shield from Paladin.
- Steady Strikes: This trait halves all Attack Speed modifiers but makes them also apply to Damage at 200% value. Previously this would only affect "Attack Damage" but now it's all Damage. While being a huge buff to the trait, this makes the trait a lot more interesting to scale e.g.: Damage Over Time effects or Skills with it.
- Lightning Conductor: Damage increased from 130-380 to 145-425.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/e551c1dc6d330dcdc1ac1311dbbe58561122b09b.png

- Smoke Grenade (Bandit): Damage increased from 270-330 to 300-365.
- Super Flight (Super Hero): Damage increased from 635-855 to 770-1045.
- Telekinetic Barrier (Esper): Damage increased from 50-70 to 60-80.
- Twirl (Dancer): Damage increased from 455-615 to 505-680.
- Vengeance (Demon Hunter): Damage increased from 95-125 to 105-140.
- Arrest (Soldier): Now also deals 105-140 Physical Damage.
- Holy Shield (Paladin): Now also ticks for 10-15 Radiant Damage 3 times per second.
- Flex (Barbarian): Now also deals 85-110 Physical Damage to all Enemies in the Room.
- Deceive (Jester): The decoy now also attacks Enemies, dealing 130-175 Slashing Damage. The decoy has the Attack Speed of your Weapon.
- Wild Shape (Druid): Bear Form now grants Attack Speed instead of Stamina Recovery Speed. Transforming into a Bear recovers all Hearts now. Transforming into a Monkey grants Stamina Surge (the buff that Green Blessings grant) now. Transforming into an Owl grants a Soul Heart if you don't already have one now. Mana Recovery reduced from 0.25 to 0.1 per Room.
Enemy Changes
- Enchanted Enemies now have a base health and armor multiplier of x1.25% on them, scaling up to a x3.00 multiplier at Floor 10. Previously this would start at x1.00 and scale to x2.50 at Floor 10.
- Each Cinder modifier now only increases Enemy Health and Armor by +0.25% per Floor, previously by +0.5% per Floor.
- All Enemies now gain +5% Health and Armor per Floor. This stacks additively with the bonus from Cinder. Basically this means, Enemies on Cinder 0 are significantly harder to kill (+50% Health and Armor at Floor 10). The more Cinder modifiers you play at or are used to, the less effect this change has on you. The base game without Cinder modifiers has been too easy for a long time. A lot of power creep has happened over the past year. Many players have been asking for a beefier base game as not everybody enjoys the mayhem that Cinder modifiers bring to the table. This was a well needed shift in difficulty distribution. Read my yapping below if you are interested in more of my thought process.
Mastery Tree Changes
- The nodes "Repercussions" and "Superstitions" swapped places as "Throne Quest", being gated behind "Superstitions" could be an unfavorable things when trying to go for specific class unlocks.
As you can see a lot of buffs happened but the base game also got a bit more resilient.
Some legendary weapons have been nerfed - which probably won't stop them from being an automatic win - but it's a nice balance attempt on my part.
All Damage Over Time effects have had their base damage reduced but the opportunity for scaling them has been increased by e.g.: buffing Fragility, some traits and their scalings.
This should limit their ability to completely annihilate Floor 1 and 2 Bosses within 3 seconds. Instead it will be 10 seconds now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png
I've played a few runs on Cinder 0 myself, trying to make as suboptimal and non-synergistic trait choices as I could and the pace of the game was still very quick. I definitely wasn't annihilating Bosses within 1 second anymore but they fights were still very quick. Some players were even directly asking me to include some way to make enemies a bit beefier as they didn't enjoy the added noise Cinder modifiers bring with them but still wanted enemies to put up a bit more of a fight. I agree, hence the changes in this patch.
I am also happy to announce:
For the first time in Tiny Rogues history I will make this version of the game available as a separated Beta version to preserve this game version for the future. This update is most likely one of the last patches of the "Between Heaven and Hell" era of the game. With the next big update a lot of changes will come and while it won't be quite as crazy as when we went from Pre-0.2.0 into "Between Heaven & Hell" there will still be a ton of changes. I believe this version of the game deserves to be preserved as it is quite fun and served us well!{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/98ba67dc48b5ef5799f39e9f012fd8d7ef3b9653.png
This patch was an attempt at polishing this state of the game so that it will be preserved in the best state possible. The next patch will probably bring the technical requirements for splitting save files between versions. (I still plan to make even older versions available too - eventually.)
I am still tinkering on the scope of the next big update (which obviously will include the Abyss!).
Let me know below if you'd be interested in a post where I talk about all the planned features and changes.

The main purpose of this patch was to finally disable the Christmas event.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png
While doing that I got sidetracked and added a bunch of smaller features and fun additions.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/904189f7abb2419caec2c20955161a7b92e95cda.png
I hope this will help bridging the time until the next big update.

This way you will receive beta updates.)

While doing that I got sidetracked and added a bunch of smaller features and fun additions.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/904189f7abb2419caec2c20955161a7b92e95cda.png
I hope this will help bridging the time until the next big update. (Which is being developed at full force from now on! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/501569584b581ebc0179ad6ff7c297d704ad4b60.png If you want, you can change your game version to the public beta in the game settings on Steam.

0.2.8.3 Patch Notes
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/7b032ae5062ea4275ebf510b7b1330946902a294.pngYour Mastery Skill Tree has likely reset due to pathing changes.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/7b032ae5062ea4275ebf510b7b1330946902a294.png
Major Changes
- The Christmas Edition has been deactivated.
- Christmas can now be toggled via the cheat console. This enables Santa, enables the Christmas Tavern including the Christmas NPCs and Music and makes some enemies have their unique Christmas appearance.
- From now on, in this version of the game, Christmas is now also automatically active during December.
- The Christmas themed achievements have been changed to Super Hero themed achievements. The Steam IDs for the achievements are the same, so if you have unlocked them already you don't have to unlock them again.
- Added a new option to the gameplay tab: Visualize Player Hitbox Off by default.
- The Arcade now has a 1% chance to land a Jackpot.
- Added a total of 10 new traits to Super Hero and Esper. Check out trait changes below.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/f5d32db4bf2d3a477759351a99cea218885b4aa8.png
Minor Changes
- The Plushie Ad is now significantly smaller.
- The Fishing Minigame has been made slightly easier.
- You can now only stay overnight at the tavern 5 times per tavern.
Stamina Changes
Stamina recovery is still a hot topic. I want to tweak it further in it's current iteration before deciding on whether or not a bigger change will be needed in the future. Some players have voiced that they are too used to the way Stamina used to work to enjoy the new system. Some other players have voiced that they much prefer the new system as it is less overpowered and requires them to make more careful gameplay decisions. I will keep observing Stamina and I still have some tricks, tweaks and potential bigger changes up my sleeve.
- Base Stamina Recovery Time has been reduced from 5 seconds to 4.
- A new meta perk has been added to the mastery skill tree which makes it so that draining Stamina only halves the current Stamina recovery progress instead of emptying it. I recommend players that miss the old Stamina system to try this perk.
- An existing meta perk has been changed to make it more attractive. Stamina Scout now only works for the first 3 floors. This way you can boost the chance of acquiring Stamina related items in the early game but it won't affect your RNG in the mid and late game. The perk now also makes items more common that grant Stamina Recovery Speed, not just items that grant Stamina Containers. It now also makes those items x2.00 more common, previously only x1.25 more common.
Mastery Perk Changes

- In addition to the Stamina related perk changes some other perks have been changed, this includes: Heart Seeker, Playtime, Prodigy, Reflexes → Vigor, Stamina → Wit, Throne Quest
- Added 6 new perks: Faith, Fishing Club, Repercussions, Skirmisher, Wrangler, Superstitions

Class Changes
- Santa's Bag now grants an Uncommon or Rare Weapon, previously always a Rare Weapon.
- Santa's Skill now costs 2 Mana, previously 1.
- Santa now starts with 2 Mana, previously 1.
- Fixed ability and room reward descriptions for Cyborg.
- The Hero now gains +1 Luck at level 1, 3 and 5, previously at 2, 4 and 6.
Companion Changes
- Reindeer: Accidentally had 100% chance to drop Gift Box due to a debug value that made it into the patch. It now has a 5% chance. The Mistletoe Branch is now a Rare item, previously Legendary.
- The Archangel and Archdemon Companions now specify to grant Damage to Weapons.
Weapon Changes
- Zenith: This weapon got a new effect because it's old effect tended to lead to performance issues. In a future patch the code for this effect will be updated but in the meanwhile it got a new effect.
- Cross Glaive: Now has a damage effectiveness of 75%, previously 50%. Now gains 15 to 30 Radiant Damage per Upgrade Level, previously 10 to 20.
- Stormhammer: Now has a damage effectiveness of 200%, previously 150%.
- Made some minor attempts at improving performance of weapons with effects like Cross Glaive or Grass Blade. These now check to update stat calculations less often.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/884506f37ae9fe32cc498939976505c833ca060e.png
Equipment Changes
- Puzzle Cube: Now Uncommon, previously Rare. Re-phrased the description slightly.
- Golden Puzzle Cube: Now Rare, previously Epic. Re-phrased the description and changed the effect slightly. Previously this would make it so you are considered as having 6 Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence traits but now it makes it so you are considered as having +6 Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence traits.
Trait Changes
- Dominance: Now makes each point of Intelligence grant +1.25% Buff Effect and Aura Radius, previously 1%.
- Added 6 new Super Power traits for Super Hero.
- Added 4 new Psychic Power traits for Esper.
- The following Super Power traits have received changes: Super Armor → Super Durability, Super Regeneration → Super Health, Super Reflexes, Super Speed, Super Stamina, Super Strength, Super Smarts. Some of these traits have been slightly nerfed to make new and other traits more competitive choices.
- Made some numerical changes and added additional minor effects to these existing Esper traits: Disintegration Aura → Energy Aura, Lightning Force, Mama's Stuff, Mental Link, Papa's Stuff, Psionic Blasts → Psionic Bombardment, Spontaneous Combustion. In general I don't like overloading traits with minor effects but I want to try out how getting additional effects and stats feels on this class.

Build 16967974
Jan 10, 2025
- Fixed that when re-rolling the tavern by staying overnight it could lead to an error that froze the game when having the Dryad meta perk allocated.
- Fixed that Krampus and the Christkind could appear both at the same time.
- Base stamina recovery time is now 5 seconds, previously 6 seconds.
I am still having an eye on the recent stamina recovery changes. I will also have to play the game more myself before making more changes to the system.
Sorry for the tavern bug, it must have been very frustrating to lose some runs over the holidays.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png

So, obviously a bunch of changes that I've shown in my recent YouTube videos have not made it into this patch. Those changes will come at some other point.
As you might have noticed, this is a giga power-creep fun-loaded mega patch with like only 1 or 2 nerfs in the entire thing.
I figured I want everybody to enjoy this update and join in on the fun. Adding difficulty to games is usually a more nuanced topic that can't be solved within a 1 day session of coding. I have many plans and trust me, not every future patch will be sunshine and rainbows like this one. I hope I didn't overdo it, though I have an odd feeling that Santa class is really overpowered. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png
I don't even know how many of these changes will be kept in the next patch, a lot of traits that I have buffed this patch have been fundamentally altered in the other patch. (that is in the works) I figured to make these traits less bad, I'm just gonna numerically buff them now.
Oh, and as always: I am aware not everybody celebrates Christmas. Which is totally fine, I am personally a fan of Christmas and I'd like to celebrate it in my game, I hope that is fine with you. Oh, and yeah I am aware it's not Christmas yet, but I felt like starting the Christmas event now is better than like on the 24th. The event will probably stay up well into late January. I will see how to proceed from there.
I am so glad I got to release a Christmas update after all. I felt bad all week for abandoning the idea of doing one. I'd like to thank Olexa, Elouyn, BaerTaffy and ItsKB who one after another popped up with playing Tiny Rogues, be it in my Twitch or YouTube feed. Olexa makes way too many Tiny Rogues videos for how dead the game felt lately. Elouyn streams Tiny Rogues religiously on Twitch. ItsKB makes videos religiously on YouTube. And even somebody like BaerTaffy has Tiny Rogues in his roguelike-roulette, so it pops up every now and then. I sometimes forget that people really love to play my game. There is so much buzz in the industry, awards here, game of the year there, new game here, d4 bad, drama there. I literally haven't released anything for months now. But people still pop up and make a video, buy the game, join the discord, play the game. I am thankful for that and I wanted to show that. That's why I stayed up and made this patch. I hope it still feels like it was made with love and not too rushed.
Enough yapping.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png Enjoy other awesome games that are coming out like Caves of Qud or Path of Exile 2. I for one have been waiting for Path of Exile 2 for 5 years by now, so I am very hyped to finally play it (a lot).
In case I don't release another blog post before 2024 ends: I wish everybody happy holidays in advance and I hope you have a great start to the new year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png

It was a calm December night. RubyDev sat at his desk, the world around him quiet and still. The kind of night where the air feels heavy with possibility, like something unexpected is about to happen. He was deep in thought, plotting out the perfect Gemling Legionnaire Archmage Path of Exile 2 build. The glow of his monitor lit the room as his mind buzzed with strategies and numbers.
Out of habit, his hand drifted to the mouse, clicking on YouTube without a second thought. The homepage loaded, and there it was—a video in the recommendations. Tiny Rogues? Santa Claus? By whom? Old man Olexa. He clicked it. The video started, and sure enough, it showed Santa in Tiny Rogues. Wait—what? Santa Claus? Could it be? RubyDev leaned back, the cogs in his brain turning.
He hit pause. His gaze wandered. “Man,” he thought, “so many people are playing Tiny Rogues regularly. And here I am, just leaving them hanging. Who am I? The dev who skips Christmas? The dev who doesn’t celebrate with the best community on Earth?” The thought lingered, heavy and uncomfortable. He couldn’t shake it. It was like a tiny snowball rolling down a mountain, growing bigger and bigger until it couldn’t be ignored.
The clock struck 5 AM. Most would call it a night—or maybe an early morning. But not RubyDev. Determined to make things right, he took a deep breath and muttered, "One more try."
GIT CLONE. CHECKOUT BRANCH. OPEN UNITY.
(Okay, maybe ChatGPT got involved somewhere in there—it wasn’t all magic. GIT is weird.)
The hours flew by in a blur of keystrokes and coffee refills. Morning turned to day, and day faded into night. But something was happening. Slowly but surely, the pieces began to fall into place. A little miracle was unfolding, pixel by pixel, line by line.
And then, as if the universe itself approved of his determination, it happened. It worked.
The Tavern sparkled with holiday cheer. NPCs came to life, brimming with Christmas spirit. A new class appeared, bringing gifts and chaos in equal measure. The Christmas Edition 0.2.8 update was real, and it was glorious.
RubyDev leaned back in his chair, exhausted but triumphant. He glanced out the window at the first hints of dawn. “For the best community in the world,” he thought with a smile. And with that, he hit publish.
(I swear I wrote 80% of this myself. ChatGPT only did touch-ups. Listen. I am on a strict schedule.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png)
Ok, enough of this Christmas story! A man can only write so much of himself in third person before it feels really cringey, and I think I already went overboard.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png
You are here for the patch notes? Oh, no? You're here because you are sitting in a 2-million-player-queue waiting to log into Path of Exile 2? Well that's fine too. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png

0.2.8 Patch Notes
Highlights
- The Tavern is Christmas themed once more. Playing Jingle Bells and this year, there is even a Christmas tree.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png
- Added 3 NEW Christmas themed NPCs. (AUSTRIAN EDITION, ... to balance the American-Christmas themed additions like Santa.) You can meet Krampus, Saint Nicholas and the Christkind itself in the tavern.
- Some enemies dressed up for Christmas and are wearing Santa Hats. This includes old favorites and newcomers.
- ADDED A NEW CLASS: Santa (I have no idea if or how this guy will stay and in which roster. I just added him for fun. There are 3 new achievements related to Santa, so he probably will stay somehow.) Santa is automatically unlocked for this event. After this event, there might be an unlock condition added.
- Santa starts with a NEW companion, the Reindeer.
- Santa starts with a NEW smuggler-pouch-esque item that always grants a random rare weapon.
- Added 3 NEW achievements related to making you play Santa.

Gameplay Changes
- Stamina Recovery has been halved but when the stamina recovery bar fills, you now regenerate all stamina points.
- When you drain stamina, your stamina recovery progress resets now.
- Mana Recovery now fills up all mana points. Mana recovery rates have been adjusted accordingly. (See below.) I also added a new particle effect and sound when your mana refills.
- Base aura radius has been increased from 6.5 tiles to 7 tiles.
- Arcade: The slot machine now gains +5% chance to break every time it's used after being used 3 times. Previously it would gain +10% every time after being used 10 times. It also only drops 3 dice now when exploded, previously 5. (I think this is the only nerf in this entire patch.)
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/ec1bcb6df3ea51be48aeb6d1c1dbb8bd19358853.png
Minor Changes

- Resistance Enchantments: All resistance enchantments now only reduce damage taken by x0.75, previously x0.70.
- Super Health and Super Armor Enchanted: Both enchantments have been nerfed by roughly 20%-25%.
- Shielding Enchanted: Is now up for 4 seconds and then down for 4 seconds. Previously was up for 4 seconds and then down for 2 seconds.

Cinder Changes
- Centurion Hunters: Now spawn every 8 to 20 rooms, previously every 6 to 14 rooms. The final sound and screen-shake before the robot spawns are now played at the start of the room it will appear.

Class Changes
- NEW class: Santa
- Deprived, Thief, Wanderer, Barbarian, Demon Hunter and Pirate now only start with 1 mana container.
- Skill descriptions now state mana recovery in this way "recovers every X rooms" instead of "x.x per room". This lets you identify breakpoints in mana recovery. While holding for details, you can also see the mana recovery like before.
- Almost all skills had their mana recovery rate halved.

- High Noon from Gunslinger: Now 0.25 mana recovery per room, previously 0.2 per enemy.
- Cyborg NEW passive ability. Eventually I'd like to revisit Cyborg's unique traits. I was not happy with the last iteration of them and there was no way of buffing them in a way of feeling satisfying. So I just slapped a new ability on the class for now.
- Cyborg's drone companion now grants +20% companion damage per full weapon upgrade level you have.
- A lot of Esper's traits have been buffed. Overall I feel like, because Esper sacrifices a trait, the unique traits should be very strong.

- Lightning Force: Now deals 165-485 damage, previously 135-405.

- Druid's Owl Form: Now grants +30% movement speed, previously +20%. Now deals 175-260 damage, previously 145-215.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug where if you clicked dice bag and then quickly closed inventory, the dice bag could not be opened again by clicking until the end of the run.
- Fixed that when a character started with no weapon, the HUD element in the bottom right showed the Zweihander icon. Now shows fist icon.

Afterword
So, obviously a bunch of changes that I've shown in my recent YouTube videos have not made it into this patch. Those changes will come at some other point.
As you might have noticed, this is a giga power-creep fun-loaded mega patch with like only 1 or 2 nerfs in the entire thing.
I figured I want everybody to enjoy this update and join in on the fun. Adding difficulty to games is usually a more nuanced topic that can't be solved within a 1 day session of coding. I have many plans and trust me, not every future patch will be sunshine and rainbows like this one. I hope I didn't overdo it, though I have an odd feeling that Santa class is really overpowered. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png
I don't even know how many of these changes will be kept in the next patch, a lot of traits that I have buffed this patch have been fundamentally altered in the other patch. (that is in the works) I figured to make these traits less bad, I'm just gonna numerically buff them now.
Oh, and as always: I am aware not everybody celebrates Christmas. Which is totally fine, I am personally a fan of Christmas and I'd like to celebrate it in my game, I hope that is fine with you. Oh, and yeah I am aware it's not Christmas yet, but I felt like starting the Christmas event now is better than like on the 24th. The event will probably stay up well into late January. I will see how to proceed from there.
I am so glad I got to release a Christmas update after all. I felt bad all week for abandoning the idea of doing one. I'd like to thank Olexa, Elouyn, BaerTaffy and ItsKB who one after another popped up with playing Tiny Rogues, be it in my Twitch or YouTube feed. Olexa makes way too many Tiny Rogues videos for how dead the game felt lately. Elouyn streams Tiny Rogues religiously on Twitch. ItsKB makes videos religiously on YouTube. And even somebody like BaerTaffy has Tiny Rogues in his roguelike-roulette, so it pops up every now and then. I sometimes forget that people really love to play my game. There is so much buzz in the industry, awards here, game of the year there, new game here, d4 bad, drama there. I literally haven't released anything for months now. But people still pop up and make a video, buy the game, join the discord, play the game. I am thankful for that and I wanted to show that. That's why I stayed up and made this patch. I hope it still feels like it was made with love and not too rushed.
Enough yapping.{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png Enjoy other awesome games that are coming out like Caves of Qud or Path of Exile 2. I for one have been waiting for Path of Exile 2 for 5 years by now, so I am very hyped to finally play it (a lot).
In case I don't release another blog post before 2024 ends: I wish everybody happy holidays in advance and I hope you have a great start to the new year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/efc93712ad24b2e1587310d8ca644ebb5f22d2a1.png
Thank you for playing. Keep supporting indie games. You are the best. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/98ba67dc48b5ef5799f39e9f012fd8d7ef3b9653.png
PS: I have gotten a sample of the Death plushie. Superb quality. It will launch in late January so don't spend all your Christmas bonus immediately. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42901319/fdb81d604f4765953d847641ea22b60e1f3f458b.png
