I am excited to announce that the Community Story Update Part 1 is now out on Google Play, App Store, and Steam! This update includes 20 story quests, a brand new intro cutscene, new monthly skins for December, new Quick Breaking rune, new hidden features, and much more fixes/changes. This post is similar to the last, but also highlights some new things added.
New Intro Cutscene
The world has fallen under the corruption of the Eternal Wraith, and while all hope seems lost, Sapius continues his search for the one who can put a stop to this nightmare. You are that person, and because you were able to withstand the temptations of an Eternal Fragment, you have proven to be the one who can persevere without falling into temptation.
This brand new cutscene is shown after starting the game with a new character, but not before the tutorial. I hope to bring more cutscenes in the future, but I am waiting on more artwork to be done at this time.

▶ Click to reveal detailed story spoilers
– BOB can upgrade your weapon from normal to Gold -> Outline Red -> Outline Blue -> Outline Gold. You cannot downgrade once you have upgraded. Besides turning weapons into gold, he doesn’t change any stats on the weapon as anything after gold is cosmetic.
– Grim the gambler will ask for 1,000 coins in order to pick a card for a chance to get 2,000 coins, 500 coins, or nothing. You can try again, but it will still cost 1,000 coins and once you win the 2,000 coins, he will tell you to leave because he wants to make a profit.
– Farmer Jake requires a Hi-potion in order to help his tree grow. Doing so will give you his pet horse, Old Gal, as a reward.
– Star Faction’s quest progresses the introduction of Mini Wraiths which yields more Xp than average enemies, but are stronger. You can choose to touch the Void Vessel without consequence, but the game will save whether or not you touched it.
– CHARLIE GIVES YOU IRIDIUM AS LONG AS YOU CHOOSE THE GOOD CHOICE WHICH IS ALWAYS THE BOTTOM CHOICE.
– Rita’s first pet is in the Caves hiding as a Crate and her second pet is in the Overworld hiding in a Stewpot. After finding them, she will spawn in a later chunk which you can claim her pets as a reward. Finding pet Lizzy will unlock the Cake theme.
– Helping Scared Tree will have the Dancing Tree spawn to give you 5 Diamonds, but helping Jack find the tree will give you 20 Wood. The plot twist is that Jack was trying to help save the Scared Tree from Evil Trees which is discovered if you kill the Scared Tree and then talk to Jack. If you lie to Jack, you will come across him in another situation where he is in the brink of death. Give him a Purify potion to receive Iridium or do nothin and end his story, but at what cost?
– Greedy Rogue is repeatable and upon death will drop boss loot like a boss, but is still considered a normal enemy. Either pay to avoid combat or fight and get loot.
– Hector is a Gorilla that wants Bananas each time you find him. He will ask for 5-20 Bananas throughout all interactions, but if you reject him on the first question, he will end conversation after crying, but you can talk to him again, but he will ask for a lower amount of Bananas. He is the only main NPC where re-interacting with him is the cheaper choice, but if you reject twice, he will stop appearing. In the end, he will give you 1 Iridium in the final interaction. If you reject 2 times on the final interaction, he will die.
– Shelbye will ask for 10 fish which you can get from Swordfish and Shieldfish in the Depths of the Sea. Collect 10 and find him to gain 1 Iridium as a reward.
– Helping Frard get to the next Crossroad will reward you by unlocking his music if you have VIP level 5 for Music Mixer as well as giving you 1 Iridium.
– Mary the Snail will ask for 12 apples to feed her children. Doing so gives you a pet Snail as a reward. Refusing means she will get mad and in the future, she will threaten you to give her 100 apples. If you give her 100 apples, you will get a useless Rock as an item. If you don’t, a fight will begin. She is very strong, but starts off with slowness.
– George’s game is a chance to get a gold equipment, but failing to guess correctly will result in taking 10% max hp as damage. You could also try to guess again even after failing 2 times, but the coin price is higher. It starts and ends by spending 100/1,000/10,000 coins until you guess the correct boulder.
– Rocky will give you 100 coins if you beat him at Rock, Paper, Scissors. If it’s a tie, you can play again. If you lose, he feels generous and gives you 2 coins.
– Eternal Wraith’s new dialogue includes a fight with Mini Wraiths, a new enemy type. His new dialogue does not spawn if you Dark Matter status.
– Levatis needs 40 Wood to expand his shop choices by +2.
– Treemonger will give you 200 coins for killing 20 Evil Trees.
– Headless Skeleton can be given a Skull or Cheese as a head. Put the skull on the skeleton to unlock an adventure upgrade, First Strike, which allows your first attack on an enemy to deals more damage per upgrade. Put the cheese on the skeleton and you will get into a fight which requires you to kill the Skeleton in order to unlock the adventure upgrade, First Strike.
– ???(Fairy) will become your pet if you can successfully get her out of the dungeon and her name will be revealed. If she dies during the quest, she is lost forever.
– Repeatable NPCs will spawn every 1000 steps, but still have a low chance to spawn so they all don’t spawn back to back. Will adjust as I get feedback on this.
December Monthly Skins + Character Cards
The current monthly skins were actually from the previous year and the ones above will be coming in this update! I will do better in terms of getting new skins added before the new months come as I have been a bit behind on that. Congrats to andye_, tobi, and Xanathar for being a part of December’s monthly skins!
Shield Barrier is Now Better Than Ever!
Tired of having to take damage to reset your shield barrier or having to get one shot because you thought you had enough barrier? Fear no more Warriors! You now have a button to reset your Shield Barrier and you no longer have damage overflow to hp. The best part about the barrier is that it now reduces damage taken by armor and no more losing shield due to step decay. Thank you for your feedback on that skill!
New Cosmetic Weapon Upgrade
Everyone! Say hi to BOB. He is an NPC capable of upgrading a normal equipment into a gold, but also make them even more cosmetically appealing. There is a small chance for him to appear at the Crossroads. To upgrade, make sure you have the weapon equipped then give him your weapon. The stats of the equipment doesn’t change, but it’s good to know BOB has the ability to smash stuff and make them truly something special. It’s a 50/50 chance of success, but nothing happens if he fails. If successful, you can climb up the cosmetic tier from Gold to Crimson, Platinum, and Extreme Gold.
Community Story Update Part 2 in Development
I took in a lot of community stories and I am going to see to it that I add all approved stories. We still have 2nd Tier profession for Archer and Thief as well as the Community Dungeon all planned for the near future. Expect more new exciting things to come, but also I will take some time off for the holidays after a couple of bug fixes.
Rogue Together in Progress
We are shaping up the foundation of OneBit multiplayer as a new game called Rogue Together. I am going to be livestreaming development on Wednesdays via YouTube and Kick, but it is very important that you sign up for the Rogue Together newsletter so I know how many people are interested in backing this game for when it comes time to Kickstart. This game will have plenty of content, but the animations requires a lot of time and effort so I will be crowdfunding to get the game as pretty as it can be. I will keep you update on any progress here and once the Kickstarter does launch, I will migrate that info to the official Rogue Together website. Thank you for your support and look forward to more amazing updates to come!
