Shroom and Gloom devlog and updates

The official posts about Shroom and Gloom from the free itch.io prototype to the third Early Access patch, newest first. Each line says what the post is actually about, so you can skip to the one you need.

Where the dev logs are posted

Since the game reached Steam, Team Lazerbeam has posted its dev logs as Steam announcements. Before that, and for a while alongside Steam, they went on the itch.io page. Posts that appeared in both places are listed once below, under Steam. The studio also runs a video series called Dev Diaries on YouTube; the Early Access reveal episode is embedded on the Early Access page.

Shroom Patch Notes: 0.6.41

Patch 0.6.41, the third Early Access update: fixes for achievements that weren't always awarding and for Concerned Parent sometimes staying locked, a Discard Pile view in the deck viewer, and a card-icon fix separating Creeping Horror from Shivering Horror. Names Gloom Levels, a Deck Crystal card compendium, a Quest Cabinet and a third Facility character as what's next.

Shroom Patch Notes: 0.6.39

Patch 0.6.39, the second Early Access update: Dice for rerolling certain card choices, a long list of card changes aimed at making the Janitor and The Facility easier to pick up, changes meant to fix most auto-walk problems, and Simplified Chinese startup and blank-text fixes. It says part of its gameplay list was published by mistake in the 0.6.24 notes.
