Also these notes aren’t in chronological order. Additional notes were made as development of Rogue Legacy progressed, but they were more specific to individual issues that arose during production.

***A lot of these notes were for the preliminary design. So for this game, the concept was literally being made in conjunction with the tools that would be required to build it.

It was during this time when the majority of the core for Rogue Legacy was designed.

Rogue Legacy required about 2 month of time to develop a basic engine and level editor to support the game we wanted to make. Once you expand to a larger development team, things might fall apart. We’re two brothers who worked with one another at home, and we used Skype to communicate with the artist and musicians. This is also NOT how standard games are made. Not only are they barely legible, but these are much, much lamer.

We discuss this more later on in the patch notes.These aren’t your standard design notes. The goal was to ease up the early game while still making gold matter in the late game (NG+10 and beyond). Make a change, get feedback from the Vanguard team, and do it all over again. And while it may seem risky to rehaul everything right before the v1.0 launch, it actually involved months of constant back and forth.

Economy and Game Balance Rehaul – From what chests drop, to the gold gain algorithm, to even your starting Resolve, virtually no stone has been left unturned in our quest to make the economy and game balance in RL2 the best it can be.

We've added a feature that allows you to fast-forward to the appropriate spot in the story based on how many times you've already beaten the game, as well as achievement checks every step of the way so that you don't need to unlock things all over again to earn achievements.

Early Access Syncing – If you've been with RL2 for most of Early Access and are already multiple NGs deep, we've made sure you don't need to start from scratch for things to make sense.

Things like the Boxer's attacks have more impact, enemy projectiles are more easily seen, and everything is just more sparkly.

Effects Overhaul – We've combed over every enemy, player, prop, and ability effect in the game to see where we could make the visuals really pop.

We've also added a scoreboard to Scar Challenges, to easily see which classes have successfully completed which challenge. The Blacksmith and Enchantress have heard your pleas, and they now offer a way to toggle one saved set of equipped Gear and Runes per class.

Improved QoL at the Docks – One of the most requested quality-of-life features for RL2 has been a way to save various Gear and Rune loadouts.

Completing achievements will also award players with the songs heard throughout their adventure, which can be played once the jukebox is obtained. But those who go the extra mile will be rewarded with more than just bragging rights.

Songs and Achievements – More than 35 achievements await intrepid explorers seeking to unveil everything there is to discover in Rogue Legacy 2.

We hope this variety of ever-increasing challenges keeps players enjoying the world of RL2 into NG+10 and beyond. This caps off the NG+ experience, with every Estuary having a proper Prime variant, and every biome holding a few more tricks.

NG+ Cycle Complete – Burdens have been rebalanced, and all remaining unique biome and boss Burdens have been added to the game.

Nearly 500 questions were asked and answered during the translation process in order to keep the spirit of the story intact across all these languages. We want to give huge thanks to Allcorrect Games for putting their heart into the localization. Due to all of the allusions, allegories, and alliterations in Rogue Legacy 2, the game's word count reached over 68000, and made the translation into 10 different languages a massive undertaking.

Localization – French, German, Spanish, Korean, Chinese Traditional + Simplified, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish and Russian.

While we don't want to give too much away, we can reveal that the Astromancer is our take on a 'mobility Mage', while the Pirate is just weird. This bring the total class count for Rogue Legacy 2 to a whopping 15.

Black Flags and Black Holes – Arrrrr! The final two classes make their mark with the addition of the Pirate and the Astromancer.

Only the most ardent adventurers will discover the true mysteries hidden with the walls of this treacherous kingdom. For the triumphant heroes that complete their sacred task, remember that your journey has just begun.

The Golden Doors Open – Players can now bring their story to a close, as the secrets behind the Golden Doors finally reveal themselves.
