Demo Version 1.1.2 Update!

Today’s patch introduces new Steelhand Hammer skills, overhauls stun resistance, adds a battle countdown that powers up enemies, accelerates early leveling, and touches up shop and thief mechanics.

• 🔨 New Steelhand Hammer Skills
  • Crushing Force – Gives hammers +1 Wounds on hit, making enemies more vulnerable.
  • Concussive Blow – Gives hammers +2 power against stun resistance, synergizing with the new Stun Resist system (see below)

• ⛏️ Hammer Stun Adjustment
  • Removed infinite-stun exploit: enemies now gain permanent Stun Resistance equal to times stunned (e.g., 2 stuns → 2 resistance).
  • Stun Resistance blocks the next stun hit, then decreases by 1—consecutive stunning is thus still possible but requires more power each time.

• ⏳ Tension & Urgency!
  • Enemies now power up as time goes on: new area countdown starts at 5 battles.
  • After 5 battles, non-boss enemies gain HP & damage multipliers: 1.25 → 1.5 → 2.0 → 2.5 → 3 → 4 → 5…
  • Boss fights remain fixed difficulty—pick your paths and pace your progress carefully!

• ⭐ EXP Levels Reduced
  Faster Level 1→2 progression means you can grab two items sooner and craft more interesting early builds.
• ♣️ Shop Improvements
  • Remove multiple cards in one visit—removal cost increases by 5 each time (5 → 10 → 15…).
  • Card prices update dynamically: too-costly cards get a red price tag when removals push you over budget.

• 💰 Thief Gold Tracker
  Thieves now display stolen gold amount—know exactly what’s on the line when you hunt them down!
• ⚙️ Minor Tweaks & QoL
  • Card prices now refresh in the shop immediately after a removal.

• 🐞 Bug Fixes
  • Fixed thorns interactions: thieves killed by your thorns now return the correct stolen gold.

Thanks for all the feedback—we’re hammering away at more improvements! Stay vigilant! 🗡️

Happy stabbing!
