⚙️ Changes

Player

• Health added on new levels lowered by approx 70%, but made the multiplier for each level’s hp reward 10% bigger.

  • This should drastically reduce the insane amounts of HP the player gets, but grant a bit more HP later on.

• Updated Player’s armor to have more shading in the hud.

Materials

Materials were a little bit too quick to unlock so I’m raising their base prices. I’m also increasing the prices of rock’s and iron’s materials upgrades. Currently you usually have a good chunk of meat when unlocking new materials which make their storage upgrades trivial to get. Hoping to make them a little slower to unlock with these changes.

• Rock and Iron unlock price: 10k → 150k

• Base meat storage prices for Rock and Iron are increased.

  • Rock: x100

  • Iron: x10k

• The onboarding’s trigger’s requirement to open the equipment room has been lowered from 20 to 10. This should prevent situations where people don’t hit that cap and think they’re stuck or something is wrong with the game.

UI

• You can now click to skip room description text animations.

• Added a dark background to Combat’s boons to have better contrast.

• Better, and more consistent UI sounds/cursors being used in more places.

• Skill tree nodes now move around according to your mouse movement.

• Skill tree nodes now hide hemalith cost multiplier if they are maxed out.

Combat

• Attack damage boost boon is now capped at 1000%

• Meat gain floor exponant multiplier changed from 2 to 1.9

• Now tracking kill counts on enemies to potentially make them give you material production boost down the line.

• Familiar now has unique string when missing instead of saying “You missed!” as well.

• New bone particles when killing an enemy instead of blood.

Equipment

Sword

• Base critical hit chance: 1% → 0.2%

Helmet

• Base helmet attack speed : 3.00s → 1.5s

  • Pretty big buff to base attack speed, since we’re going to need to boost damage a lot late game because of the minimum time between attacks being slower, I’m making a little more faster at its base so it’s easier to upgrade without sacrificing too much damage. We’ll see how this plays out.

• Minimum s/attacks : 0.01s → 0.1s

  • This is a pretty big nerf to attack speed, we’ll see how it plays out throughout a full run of the game, but this should make late game a little harder. Might bring it back down a bit if it makes progression too slow/tedious.

• Item Slot Price Exponent: 100 → 1000

Chestplate

• Defense base modifier: 0.3% → 0.2%

• Base Reflection Chance: 1% → 0.2%

• Base Damage Reflection Percentage: 1% → 0.2%

Leggings

• Minimum healing in camp is now floored at leggings’s regen stat, this way you won’t heal slower at lower health in camp.

• Base Vampire Hit Percentage: 0.1% → 0.025%

• Base Vampire of Damage Dealt: 0.1% → 0.025%

Boots

• Evasion base modifier: 0.3% → 0.2%

  • Having bumped these from 0.1% to 0.3% last patch, this made them very strong very quickly, almost cutting the time required to beat the game in half, lowering them here to hopefully make it still affordable but not too OP.

• Base Opportunity Attack Chance: 1% → 0.2%

• Base Opportunity Attack Damage Percentage: 1% → 0.2%

Combat

Experience Gain

• Level exponent changed from base_exp_value * current_depth^2 to base_exp_value * current_depth^1.75

New Sprites

• Mouse

• Crow

• Mummy

• Sludge

• Cyclops

Crow

• Now stops spawning at level 400.

Skeleton

• Now stops spawning at floor 600.

Bugbrute

• Now stops spawning at floor 800.

Familiars

• Lowered price of all familiars.

Mummy

• Base Health: 1.6B → 1.5B

Skeleton Leader

• Base Health: 4B → 3B

Undead Rogue

• Base Health: 10B → 5B

Misc

• Changed some verbiage for consistency and clarity.

• Made cursor change behavior better in skill tree.

• You can now go back to camp by hovering and clicking at the bottom of the grate room.

• Change the inventory to be persistent data rather than temp.

  • Note: this will reset the key that’s on the barrels from your inventory if you have a save file with it used/owned in it, I’m making this change to prevent having to re-drop every item every run, this should make it not as tedious to get new puzzle items in the long run.

• Now prebaking shaders.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Game window’s now get’s centered while changing resolutions/at launch/setting to windowed from fullscreen. This should prevent rare cases where windows put the window in the corner making the dragging bar inaccessible.

• Skills no longer remain white after resetting skill tree spend.

• God no longer invites you to spend your hemalith even though you haven't seen the hole if you haven't died.

• God no longer hints at you to rebirth at floor 10 if you haven’t met him before.

• Made Mouse familiar stats visible without having to repurchase it since you already owned it.

• Made it so the blood from your familiar no longer eats mouse input from the impale station.

• Prevented consumables from being used outside of combat.

• Made shop items check the max storage before calculating if its affordable to prevent flickering.

• Stopped the material’s unlock icons from flashing if it was not affordable anymore after being affordable.

• Added a check to see if Steam was running before trying to change the Rich Presence Tokens.

• Made material upgrade buttons check for material cap before enabling themselves to prevent flashing.

• Prevented cursor from being turned into an eye during rebirth if you have pause menu opened.

• Fixed button text in combat from overflowing while on higher text size in certain languages.

• Skill is now correctly shown as available to be purchased if you have the exact amount of Hemalith as its cost.

• Fixed Material switcher button not staying held down when switching materials by clicking on them.

• Fixed Skill Tree descriptions styling not updating when maxing out until they’re hovered over again.
