Hey all,

I have big news! There will be an opportunity in a few months to get a limited complete-in-box edition of Wampus. This is the only planned print run for the game. I’m still debating, but the run will likely be limited to 75-100 copies total. I'll have more information on this opportunity in the coming months.

In anticipation of this final, final version of the long in-development and continually changing game, I have made another set of changes and improvements to what is now Wampus DX since it has changed so significantly from the original release way back in 2019. 

I may come out with a few more updates before the physical release. Please stay tuned for more information.

Note: I have limited my changes to bug fixes, mechanics, and surface visuals mostly. While the design of the game itself reflects my NESdev skills from many years ago, I thought it was important to maintain for the sake of history.

Wampus Updates

Updated visuals in places (mine dungeon, enemies, etc.)

• The bomb has better collision now.
• Changed some enemy and boss HP and behaviors.
• Fixed rare glitch that could soft lock the beginning of the game.
• Loot now matters! For every 100 loot collected (translates to 20 since each is worth 5 now), players earn one extra life.
• Bomb explosions now do 2 damage to enemies.
• Improved slowdown a little on some busy screens.
• Reduced player hit box.
• A litany of other small changes and improvements.

Cheers,

John
