Plans for 20 Minutes Till Dawn
More Upgrades!
More unique upgrades are in the works! In addition to new normal upgrades, there will also be Synergy Upgrades which will require you to have a specific combination of upgrades to unlock. For example:
Requires "Intense Burn" and "Frostbite"
When you inflict Freeze, also inflict Burn for 6 damage per second.
More Characters And Weapons!
3 more characters and 3 more weapons are planned for the full version! All with unique playstyles and build possibilities!More Game Modes!
I've heard from players how much they love the short 10 minute format, so I'm planning it as a game mode in the full release.Of course there will be the standard 20 minute format as well. This will feature multiple levels of difficulty for players to test their skills.
