Playtest Branch Update!

3 月 27 日

We are excited to release the Full Moon update to our Public Playtest branch, where you can access all the new content we're working on! If you're excited to jump in you can find instructions below, or keep reading for more details.

How to Play the Update

You can access this update on the publictesting branch by right-clicking Pluto in your Steam Library and navigating to Properties > Game Versions & Betas. Select publictesting to access this update:

The launch version will still be accessible on the Default Public Version while publictesting will be updated regularly with new content. Once the new modes and characters are complete we'll be moving this content to the main branch.

Full Moon Mode

Under the Full Moon enemies unleash their full power... and so can you

This update introduces run modes, starting with Full Moon. This mode has a longer and more challenging map with new events and enemies, as well as a new element, new spells, and new items. Use your new tools to brave this fearsome path.

Currently only the Apprentice can access Full Moon mode but we'll be adding Full Moon versions of each wizard over the coming weeks. Join the Discord to vote on which wizard you'd like us to add next!

Mod Support

The new modes and character variants are made possible by integrating mod support on the backend. Join the Siege Wizard Interactive Discord for a guide on how to make modded characters, items, maps, and enemies!

Future Plans

Crescent Moon and Blood Moon modes will be added in the future to give players the option for both easier and more challenging experiences.

Full Moon variants of each wizard will be added, each with new gifts, spells, badges, and status effects.

This update took longer than expected due to an overhaul of the map and enemy behavior systems, in addition to the new content added. This allows the map to be more variable between runs and for enemy behaviors to be more distinct and intelligent.

All of this control can be leveraged through the mod system to create truly unique content. We will be adding a GUI for the mod system as well as Steam Workshop integrations to make creating and sharing mods as easy as possible.

Here is a comprehensive change list for the update:

Reduced VRAM usage by ~1GB for better performance
Cantrips can be combined at the Quill node
Added Wild elements, which can match any other element
Added Wild spells, which contain Wild elements and cannot be cast directly
Replaced Wild status with Charged Status (same functionality as before)

Added Scry Tokens node to the map

Added Badge Chest variants
Added Spell Recipe reversal node
Added Shop Forage node
All Spell Shrine alterations are now exclusive with each other
Combined Spells can still be upgraded once even if their component spells were upgraded
Spell Upgrade shrine now gives +50% to positive effects
Shrine of One replaces old upgrade shrine (+1/-1)
Shrine of Two is similar but +2/-2
Reworked Knowitorium screen

Bug Report Thread - TRY BOTH RENDERING OPTIONS

Give us your bugs here, through the in-game system, or on discord. If you are having graphical issues, please try using the other renderer and update your drivers before reporting the issue. Almost all of the graphical issues are fixed with one renderer or the other. To change the renderer, launch the game through Steam and select opengl or vulkan. Please provide steps to reproduce the issue and attach your log if its a hard crash, thanks!...

Pluto Roadmap

3 月 14 日

Thank you all for supporting the release of Pluto! As a tiny first time developer we never dreamed our project would be so well received and we're very excited to take it to its full potential.

In the coming days we'll be releasing a public branch where you can play the new content we are working on, starting with an extended run mode with a ton of new features. This new mode will feature a new map, new spell type, combining spells, as well as rebalanced enemies with more challenging and distinct behaviors.

Each week we'll be adding a new version of a wizard balanced around this new mode, starting with the Apprentice on release and the Magus next weekend! We will also be releasing new enemies, bosses, and map events for this version starting this month.

This new mode is made possible with the mod support we've integrated on the backend. This week we'll be building a GUI so you can make your own mods in game! We'll also be setting up Steam workshop integrations so you can easily share your mods and find mods made by other players. We are also working on unlockable run modifiers that players can use to tone down the difficulty or give themselves a unique challenge.

We will also be expanding the Knowitorium to include lore about each wizard and the world of Pluto. We hope you're all enjoying the game and can't wait to bring you these updates over the coming weeks! Keep reading for a preview of what to expect...

Wild Spells are a new spell type that can only be cast via other spells and cannot be placed on your fingers directly. In the screenshot below you can see Boost and Arc allow us to cast Zap! This mechanic introduces much more synergy between the recipes of spells, not just their effects.

Wild Elements are found in the recipes for some Wild Spells and will match any element. In the screenshot below you can see that Ancestry has a recipe of Bone-Wild, meaning that Haste will always cast it. You could also use the Bone at the end of Conjure Steel followed by any spell (Arc in this case) to cast Ancestry.

The Spell Smith allows you to combine two Cantrips into a single Big spell. The effects will be added together and you can choose any recipe that includes the recipes of both spells. Now you can make Borc!

These new mechanics will be available in the extended run mode on the public playtest branch in the next few days. And to those aware of the 9th portrait, we can promise we're brewing up something entirely new...

Thank you all for your feedback so far, we are reading every single bit of feedback we get and really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the game. Please remember to write a review Pluto, it's really important for reaching new players and letting us continue development.

See you on the egress,

- Siege Wizard Interactive

Vulkan perfomance in title screen

Just downloaded the demo for this and have been playing through the tutorials, however I notice that the game dips to ~10 fps on the title screen while in vulkan, whereas I'm getting 180+ using opengl, I've never seen this kind of disparity between the renderers. there's a possibility this is just a demo issue. Graphics card is an nvidia gforce rtx 3050...

A decently challenging game with unique art style and unique gameplay, with significant balancing problem. Most games now a day (indie, middleware, or AAA) have the same art style and homogenous gameplay. So, when I saw this game, I knew I have to try it out, and this game doesn't disappoint. I knew immersion is no where near the top 3 priority of a deck builder, but the art and game mechanics really drags you into the Pluto world. The limited 8 spell casting slots, aka your fingers, made you put some, not a lot, thoughts into what you should cast this turn. Unlike most of the other deck builders, there're no ways around this. 8 fingers are all you got. Combined with spells that only tickles your enemies, the only way you can win is through scaling up the wizard himself. I only played 3 characters so far, apprentice, magnus, and pyromancer. Each got their own gimmick of scaling, which I highly appreciate. However, here's where the balancing problem comes from: Not all scaling are created equal.

Apprentice mostly scales through empower, which is trivial to have after you get lightening empower ring. Among the 3 gifts you can choose, empty tome is objectively better than flute or right hand, because of the dismiss mechanic. Though with lightening empower ring, it's easy to win with flute or right hand as well.

Magnus is a completely different story. He scales through the lethal buff or power. Lethal buff double the damage of the next damaging spells. Sound good, but it applies before all other damage increase buff, so it's useless if your spell got low damage. Power is just empower but it won't go away at the end of the turn. Among the 3 gifts you can choose, magnus pipe is the worst because it relies so much on RNG to get the right spell to win. It spend all stacks of lethal buff at the same time, but it's done multiplicatively instead of exponentially. So, you need ways to stack lethal fast and a spell with high damage. Total RNG nightmare. Compared to magnus pipe, totem and cloak are 10 times better and stronger.

Pyromancer suffers in the same way as magnus. It scales through raising heat limit or power. Pyromancer has no reliable defense. It only has two defense spell, one provide fixed block, the other provide block based on amount of heat. The latter one is one time use. If RNG doesn't bless you, you will not find a single defense spell the entire run. Though I still win using steaming swine, I attribute all of that to the mirror ring and scried drowning spell. Among the 3 gifts, steaming swine is the worst by a large margin. I tried to win with it for the entire afternoon, while I won in a few tries using the other gifts.

That's why people say this game is easy: they only pick the overpowered gifts and ignore the weaker gifts. The dev needs to balance out the gifts more to make the game more fun. Some people say the game is too short, which I agree, but having playthroughs that will last hours isn't wagie-friendly as well.
