Build 25595986

Hey, Muters!

A big update is coming to your Venture runs; one that enables comeback from a difficult run. Take a look!

Gemstones

Gemstones are obtainable upgrades in an economic sense - whether it is instant money, shop item upgrading, and more!After surviving 1 week in Venture, you are presented with a choice of 3 Gemstones. Make sure to pick one that allows a comeback; or invest to get more coins later.

There are 18 unique Gemstones for you to discover, and you can get up to 3 in a run. Unless, you get an extra one from the Revamped Venture Capital.

Venture Capital

The Venture Capital research has been updated, they now have more exciting & run-warping choices.

The new options are:

• Starting Coin - unchanged

• Re-Enchant - now gives you 2 Enchantments instead of 1

• New Enchantment (new) - gives you a random enchantment without removing your starting Enchantment.

• Gemstones (new) - starts the run with a Gemstone

• Component - now gives you a special component that cannot be found in shops

Collections

The Collections tab under the Archive menu has been updated; it now functions like a proper Collections page:

• Lists items that you have Seen or Acquired (and blacked out if you have not seen the items)

• Improved layout for ease of changing different cities

• Now also lists Venture Capital components & Gemstones

Character Collections

In addition, we also have a new Collections page for each character!

This keeps track of what character components that you have seen & acquired, as well as cities with which this character has completed a Venture with.

This page also tracks various stats on the character. Who have you been playing with the most?

Bug Fixes

Otherwise, there are some bug fixes & balancing changes to make the game more smooth-sailing.

New

• Add Run History to RunStatWindow

• Some effects now modifies the components' icon (i.e. Fragile now always have the crack in the icon)

• Add "Random (incomplete)" button to License selection screen

Balancing

• "Give Up" reward is no longer granted if given up within the first 5 days of the month (including endless)

• Kauros: Chaos Forge - granted Potent level increases from +1(+1) to +2(+2)

Fixes

• Fix "Forge" enchantment not having "s" behind its duration (5.0 -> 5.0s)

• Fix [REDACTED] horror elements not working after its first trigger

• Enchantment daily upgrades now have clearer description (i.e. "Multicast - Tier I")

• Fix Formation Log crashing due to having too many lags (might still crash on "infinite" runs)

• Fix City Unlock researches missing the dependency of previous cities

• Fix Research Queue not updating week counter (on UI) when advancing with payment

• Upgrade section now has "Component Upgrade" text

That's quite a bit! Each run will be wildly different now that Gemstones are a core part of Ventures.
