Patch Notes — v0.1.7 Update

🆕 New Features

  • New Critical Hit stat: weapons (and some other gear) now grant a chance to land critical hits for 1.5× damage. Check your Character Sheet for your current crit %

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed crops planted on farm plots sometimes vanishing after visiting the dungeon (or on later saves). This was a save data collision between farm plots, not random bad luck
  • Fixed the Steam Cloud save occasionally overwriting your local save with an older version, which could silently roll back progress
  • Fixed bow attacks never landing critical hits, even though melee attacks could. Bows now roll for crits just like melee weapons
  • Fixed the Ember Blade's damage being far weaker than it should've been (it was never properly set, so it hit softer than a basic Iron Sword)
  • Removed a leftover slam AoE attack from the Gueule de Braise (Calciné boss) that wasn't part of its intended moveset
  • Quest tracker progress bars no longer replay their fill animation from empty when an unrelated quest updates. Only the quest that actually changed animates now

⚖️ Balance

  • Rebalanced equipment stats around each gear slot's role: helmets and chestpieces now lean into defense, boots into movement speed, and weapons into damage plus the new critical hit stat
