After spending hundreds of hours in Slay the Spire, the announcement of a sequel, Slay the Spire 2, initially seemed unnecessary due to the original game's genre-perfecting status. However, the sequel's focus on deepening the game's lore, set 1,000 years after the first game, and the evolution of enemies and storytelling, has piqued the interest of the author and may draw players back to the Spire for another round of engaging narrative-driven gameplay.

"Developer Blames Cheap Monitor for Overlooked Visual Bugs in Hit Roguelike Game"

Casey Yano, co-founder of Mega Crit, revealed that the visual bugs in the popular roguelike deckbuilder game "Slay the Spire" were due to the low-quality monitors used during development, which made it impossible to see the compression artifacts. Despite the game's simplistic art style, it has been well-received by the community, with some players even preferring the work-in-progress art. The success of "Slay the Spire," which sold over 1.5 million copies by 2019, ensures that future projects by Mega Crit will likely benefit from better hardware.
