MAJOR UPDATE!

TBA Studio wishes everyone a Happy New Year 2026! 🎉

To kick off the new year, we’ve updated TypeCaster on itch.io to match the current demo available on Steam. This update is a big one, and it brings the itch.io version in line with our latest vision for the game.

What Changed?

🗡️ Boss Availability Update

• If you managed to defeat those bosses before this update, consider it a special gift — they will not be available again until the final release 👀

⚖️ Major Gameplay Balancing

• Rebalanced spell damage, spell cooldowns, enemy attacks, health values, boss stats, equipment, and potions.
• Combat should now feel tighter, fairer, and more satisfying overall.

✨ New Spells Added

• Yes, you can now cast new spells.
• More variety, more chaos, more typing pressure.

🎨 HUGE Visual Overhaul

• Massive improvements to:
  • Environments
  • GUI / HUD
  • Particles & visual effects
  • Overall presentation
• The game now looks much closer to our final target quality.

🎬 Cutscenes & The Narrator

• We’ve added cutscenes to enhance storytelling.
• Introducing a special character: The Narrator, who delivers and guides these moments in true TypeCaster fashion.

🎵 New Audio

• Brand-new SFX and BGM to better match the intensity and tone of the game.

🔥 Challenge Mode

• For those seeking pain and glory:
  • A Challenge Mode has been added.

🚀 Performance & Bug Fixes
