0.2.6 Update

Hello fellow Tiny Rogues!

This patch I focused on cleaning up the clean update. Thus the fix-list at the bottom of the post is very long. Some other changes also snuck in. Enjoy!

Disclaimer

This is not the patch yet that focuses on the gamepad improvements. Some suggestions have already be implemented and some gamepad bugs have been fixed but major new features and revamps will happen next patch.

Patch Notes

Major Changes

• Added a new option that makes it so weapon enchantments are shown as a prefix in front of weapon names.
• Every active Cinder modifier now also adds +0.5% health and armor per floor to normal enemies, not just bosses. This does not apply to Automatons and Reapers.
• Removed status effect immunities from all enemies. (E.g.: Troll was Poison Immune)
• Poison on player now slows flask drink speed by x0.75 instead of applying x0.50 heart recovery rate.
• The Tavern NPC spread has changed. Less cosmetic NPCs (with no purpose) will appear. There is now 3 main clusters of NPCs, down from 4.
• The Tax Collector has been moved to the Black Market and shares a cluster with the Fair Lady NPC.
• Cigarettes have been reworked, they now refresh the duration of Potion, Infusion and Booze effects.
• The Tax Collector now sells Soul Hearts for Souls.
• These NPCs only sell once now: Tax Collector, Demolitionist and Dwarf Soldier
• The meta perk that made the Tax Collector appear now makes the Dryad appear instead.
• Potions from the Potion Seller NPC are cheaper, costing only 10 Gold, down from 20.
• Fairy Tale branches from the Princess are cheaper, costing 30 Gold now, down from 45.
• The deal for Illegal Gun Parts at the tavern favors being Evil a bit less but is also less punishing for being Good.
• Set item parts CANNOT be found more than once per run anymore. If you drop a set item you are super unlikely to find it again. (Basically, the game will only hand it to you if it runs out of choices.)
• Base aura radius increased to 6.5, previously 6.
• Added a new HUD element which displays Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Luck, Curse, Good, Evil, Lawful and Chaotic. (This HUD element currently auto-hides in combat but I might add an option in the future to make it always show.)

Minor Changes

• Removed the tooltips that said e.g.: "Not Encumbered -> Slightly Encumbered" because they didn't really provide any useful information.
• Items that put you over equip load capacity now show which penalties you will face in a tooltip.
• Cast Time for Skills is now called Charge Time.
• Fragility, Vulnerability and Instability now last 8 seconds, previously 4 seconds.
• Added a new splash text.
• General tab in the character panel now shows total Skill Effect.
• Defense tab in the character panel now shows total Stamina Recovery Speed.
• Added new tooltips to Eden's Touch and Amon's Grasp items which show the current alignment value.
• Added new tooltips to the hoodie items which explain what the mentioned pickups do. E.g.: Explains that a Meat Shank grants +3 Strength.
• Added new tooltips explaining what boss crowns are to e.g.: Demon King Blade, Champion Armor, ...
• Added new tooltips to Bibles, Flails and Scepters explaining that these weapons cannot repeat attacks.
• Misc. tab in the character panel now shows total boss crowns.
• Reworked the Dragon Head event. Camera now moves so the dialogue can be read and it offers new powerful enchantments for your weapon. Can now also enchant rare weapons and only chars Common and Uncommon weapons.
• Infusion consumables now also show the ailment you will apply as a tooltip. (Doesn't solve the problem that you don't have access to this tooltip as soon as you consume the infusion, but it's a step into the right direction.)
• Added new tooltips to infusion consumables that explain basic game mechanics such as "All Cold Damage inflicts Chill."
• Damage type colors now apply to the full string of e.g.: "Fire Damage" instead of previously just coloring "Fire".
• The Status Effect and Revive display in HUD now have 0 height while empty.
• Added a small animation to dropping bombs.
• Fixed the order of choices of the Old Hag event which knits a hoodie for you.
• Floor 10 and the Rat shop can now sell Soul Hearts.
• Chance to repeat attacks is not affected by luck anymore.
• Added new option to Limit Bonfire Chatter. This option prevents random messages from the bonfire in the character selection.
• In many instances, the description of tally effects have been shortened even further.
• Added new visualization for close and far range thresholds that happens while a tooltip regarding close and far range is shown.

Skill Changes

• Added new metrics for the game to recognize if effects associated with skills are useful to your skill. E.g.: If your skill doesn't scale with Skill Effect, these effects won't show up anymore. Overall skill related traits and items should now show a lot more when useful and a lot less often or even not at all, when not useful.
