Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback in the form of bug reports, data from playing, or even videos. It has been so helpful, and most of that has now been condensed into this patch. This might be the last one for a while, as I am hoping to release the Demo by the end of this month with the first one or two bosses and more content.

New:

  • Added the QOL ability to break barrels by running into them and jumping on top of them.

  • Added a new inventory feature: when hovering over an item, pressing [ALT] or [LSHIFT+ALT] now trashes the item.

Changes:

  • Changed the interact text on the Main Menu from "[E] Use" to "Talk To [Old Man]" if the tutorial was not complete.

  • Sludge's contact attack now has a longer cooldown before hitting the player again.

  • Changed the interact text on chests from "{amount} Gold" to "{amount} Coins" as gold is a separate item.

  • Ghosts now have faster base speed from 3.5 --> 3.75, and that new number now scales with the player's dexterity.

  • Enemies now spawn with random rotations instead of all facing north.

  • Changed the Old Man's tutorial text to now specify that upgrades are passive.

  • Adjusted the dialogue UI.

  • Changed the description of the Health Rune upgrade to say "Max Health" instead of "Health."

Balancing:

  • Added +20% Melee Critical Chance to Iron Mace.

  • Added +30% Melee Critical Chance to Flesh Mace.

  • Flesh Mace Damage: 95 --> 100.

  • Flesh Mace Strength: 15 --> 25.

  • Flesh Mace Bloodlust: 30 --> 40.

  • Flesh Mace Fang Chance: 25% --> 30%.

  • Venom Stinger Damage: 105 --> 115.

  • Venom Stinger Strength: 10 --> 15.

  • Bonehoard Bow Damage: 90 --> 100.

  • Radiant Staff Bloodlust: 20 --> 25.

  • Radiant Staff Mana: 15 --> 10.

  • Venom Scepter Mana Cost: 60 --> 80.

  • Fire Staff Fireball Speed: 14 --> 17.

  • Ember Staff Fireball Speed: 18 --> 21.

  • Ember Staff Damage: 55 --> 50.

  • Ember Staff Mana Cost: 45 --> 55.

  • Mana Crystal: 40 Mana --> 35 Mana.

  • Green Quiver: 10% Ranged Damage --> 12% Ranged Damage.

  • Grindstone: 30% Melee Damage --> 35% Melee Damage.

  • Bloodcry Ability Ferocity Multiplier: 2x --> 2.25x.

  • Bloodcry Ability Bonus Ferocity: 20 --> 25.

  • Crystal Pylon Ability Damage: 60% of Max Mana --> 80% of Max Mana.

Bugs:

  • Fixed a bug where, on some runs, enemies would not attack or target the player in offline mode.

  • Fixed a bug where, on dying in a menu and returning as a ghost, the cursor would be left on-screen.

  • Fixed a bug where, on self-revive, you would use your class ability sharing the same keybind as the revive.

  • Fixed a bug where arrow explosions would only deal damage to nearby enemies; it now increases damage on the hit target as well.
