Hello,
DemonCrawl v2.4.4 is now available on the Windows stable branch. This is a stability patch that also improves the Arena AI and enhances board visibility in a few places.
Mac and Linux builds are expected to follow within 48 hours.
Full patch notes are below. Thank you!
Quality of Life
- Increased cell number brightness on Machine to improve readability
- Testing gleaned cell numbers at full opacity to see whether it helps or harms readability
- Testing gleaned cell inner number always drawn as white
- Testing gleaned cell outline color always that of value 1
Balance Changes
- Increased Arena bot max rating from 2000 to 2500
- Skilled Arena bots place a greater emphasis on monster density growth
- Arena bots now have a general "aggression" trait that influences their shopping behavior and item effect preferences
- Arena bots have better awareness when they are in lethal range and will play accordingly
- Arena bots can now decide to go "all-in" on homeland upgrades, influenced by their personality
- Optimized formula that determines how many necessary guesses an Arena bot must make; they are more resilient as a result, especially in early rounds
