Desert Dungeon & Equipment Update Release Notes

The BIGGEST update to OneBit Adventure has finally rolled out and is here to bring lots of goodies to you! Big thanks to those in open beta for finding all those amazing bugs before release. This new update is packed with 45 new equipment, new Desert Dungeon, remastered soundtracks, new Tremor boss, 7 new enemies, new Rune system, starting HUB, and so much more! Thank you for your patience and while this post looks similar to the last open beta post, there is more context to better clarify since we have finalized everything about the update. Bring in the coffee and tea as this will be a long read!

Welcome to the Desert Dungeon!

Desert dungeon is full of traps and strong desert type enemies. This is the first dungeon to have 2 unique biomes where the beginning is filled with traps and obstacles and the second half is an open desert filled with Cactus. It is now the only place to find Smoothies, Cactus, and the best place to get Runes via Tremor boss! Keep in mind, you will need to be level 15 for this dungeon to appear.

New Tremor Boss

The new Tremor boss is a tank with the ability to go underground and emerge to deal tremendous damage as well as spitting poison gunk. Be careful of his minions as he will occasionally spawn worms from the top to try and stop you. Once you are past 1,500 steps, it will guarantee a Rune drop and the further you go, the more it drops. Runes are powerful relics used to amplify your equipment which will be discussed more below.

7 New Enemies

These new enemies are exclusive to the Desert Dungeon. Each enemy is unique with specific traits that makes the Desert feel alive. Learn about them and prepare for trouble! Big thanks to our winners from the Desert Dungeon contest in which the Worm (created by Tabbi) and Scarab (created by Cat Traveler) where added from!

Your Starting Camp

Your starting camp has gotten an upgrade! As you explore the world of OneBit, you will discover that certain NPCs will be recruited. This makes it easy to now prepare before you begin your adventure with NPCs like Blacksmith, Merchant, Forge, and others. New dialogue has been added as well as notification effects to help bring certain NPCs to your camp.

Bring Your Runes to the Forge

Everyone, say hi to Frank! He has a story of his own and will be happy to share it with you once you rescue him from the Underworld. You will need a Special Key which is dropped by Cthulhu in the Ruins and I’m sure Morgana won’t mind! Once you rescue him, you will find him in your starting camp and he’ll make sure to build a furnace before you get back. Interact with Frank and he will now be able to put your Runes to good use. Runes are rare relics used to buff equipment, but removing them will destroy the rune itself. If you don’t discover Frank by level 20, he will appear at your starting camp and give you a story about how he got there!

New Rune System

After reaching level 15, equipment will start to spawn with an open rune slot and Runes will start to drop after 1,500 steps. Runes have a drop rate of 5% from bosses except the new Tremor boss who guarantees them and drops more the further you go. Some amplify only weapon stats while others work on helm and chest only. Chaotic Death Notice will not drop Runes to keep them from being too common. Find Frank the Forger and socket your Runes with Coins to bring even more power to your build!

45 New Equipment

Here’s all the new equipment added to the game and it is quite the handful! Some equipment require you kill certain bosses to spawn while others have rarity and level requirements which will all be available in the in-game guide. These new equipment have new stats added to the game and with it, we have provided a description for all of that here. The in-game guide has been updated with all the new stats and equipment so read your guide to understand all you need to know.

Target Practice

Not much in a days work, but sometimes you want to know how much damage you actually do based off different builds. If you have already talked to Shintaro, then you may have gotten a gift of 2 dummies and 1 ranged target. These targets are invincible so they do not break, but have a starting hp of 100,000.

Major Changes

Before we dive into the update log, I thought it would be best to highlight the major ones so you don’t need to read all of it to know the ones that will impact you the most.

• We have updated Blacksmith upgrades to cost Coins instead of Diamonds
• You now have unlimited quick saves after running out of Normal Quick Saves
• Removed Self-Slow from all weapons that previously had them
• Overworld Bosses and Wraith now spawn more frequently. Previously was thousands of steps before you come across them.
• New remastered soundtracks have been updated. Take a listen to them on Scotty Rich’s Bandcamp, the Music Producer for the official soundtracks.
• You can now skip all upgrades for the current adventure which is very useful once you have maxed out all that you could.
• There are now enemy variant skins to make your adventures look less repetitive.
• Free Revives no longer get consumed when using Dark Matter Revives.
• Dungeons will no longer be larger than 1,000 steps.

Pushing Shrines for a Future Update

Some may have saw our blog post on our website which said Shrines were coming. Unfortunately, this update had a lot coming so we have decided to hold off on making Shrines so we can better focus on balancing all new equipment. Shrines will be back in a future update with better features. We appreciate all the feedback and look forward to making it better than ever!
