In preparation of Golden Krone Hotel's full release on Thursday, I have pushed one last update. This is mostly polish stuff, but some of it is quite cool!
Bloody sprites
I had never actually drawn sprites for the Demon Blood abilities since they were so rarely seen. That has been corrected (and made less rare).
These 10 abilities have also been tuned up and made more fun in general. For example, you can now throw furniture into monsters or monsters into each other and both will be damaged.
Other missing icons (e.g. taking stairs) have been added in as well.
I MAKE YOUR SCREEN SHAKE
There's now a subtle screen shake on all attacks. Critical hits have stutter frames too. Both of these make combat feel waaaay more engaging. Feel free to turn up the shakiness!
Grimoire++
Spells can now go to level 4. Once you have a full set of spells, each grimoire is guaranteed to contain a spell you already know, making it easier to level up your spells.
Sunny surprise
I've addressed one common request: a warning to prevent you from getting burnt when travelling between stairs. Requires 'Confirm dangerous moves' option.
A bunch of small touches (like new sound effects) have been added and several bugs fixed.
Don't miss our release party!
