Boneraiser Minions
Patch v31.11
//other New Game Forever changes
- The extra +50% Health boost bosses get in NGF has been reduced to +20% (mainly as the King Gigald fight dragged on rather too long).
- King Gigald: The score bonus for killing him is now multiplied by the NGF loop.
- King Gigald: There's now a small delay to his starting attacks based on how many Shade bosses spawn (to give a little breather before the chaos).
//misc changes
- Updated to the latest version of GameMaker (might improve compatibility).
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- The save backup system can now detect partial save file wipes, in which case it's treated as a fully wiped save.
- The backup save file will now only be updated after you've died once (so just entering the hub then exiting won't trigger it).
- King Gigald: Increased the score bonus from killing him to 25000 per phase (increased from 10000).
- Queen Gigalicious: Increased the score bonus from killing her to 50000 per phase (increased from 20000).
- Doll Maker class: The chance of being offered Cannibal/Bandit when boneraising is now more consistent (since they now override base upgrade offerings).
- Dryad enemy: Upon death they now grow an Elden Tree root.
- Heavenly Vessels enemy: They now have additional 22% chance of being blessed.
- Horoscope Charm relic / Blanked Scroll spell: These now have a collective soft cap on the Banishes they can give (the more Banishes they give the less chance of them giving another until a hard cap of 9).
- Scavvy Mitts relic: The starting Blacksmith will no longer sell this relic.
- Deboning Cutlery relic: Changed the description so it's clear it's a Skelly minion that will be raised.
- Spellious Spewious spell: This now can't give a Spellious Spewious spell.
//bug fixes
- Some minion attacks weren't conforming with the Ghostly Minions setting.
- Castle Conquest: It was possible for a Curse to trigger during the end stage sequence which could cause issues.
- Castle Conquest: Loading a game would sometimes not remove all of your spells from the previous run.
- Keepsake Key meta: It could give a non-normal starting minion for Doll Maker and Beast Whisperer classes.
- Confused enemies that have a ranged attack were still able to run towards you and use their ranged attacks.
- Goblusious the Scholastic: Fixed some text issues.
Patch v31.10
- The Save Backup file will now also be updated when you exit the game via the title screen menu (so is more up to date).
- The Save Backup file will now only be updated if it detects there's data in the normal Save file.
- New Game Forever: Added a scaling reduction on running speed boosts for each NGF loop starting at NGF2 (NGF2:-25%, NGF3:-50%, NGF3:-90%).
- Dark Metaman class - Soulen Invulnerability meta: Picking up multiple Hero Souls will now reset it to the max Invincibility bonus instead of adding to it (so quickly picking up several won't give several minutes of invincibility).
- Dark Metaman class - Soulen Haste meta: Picking up multiple Hero Souls will now reset it to the max Haste bonus instead of adding to it (so quickly picking up several won't give several minutes of Haste).
- Zombie Bro minion: They can now biteraise a fresh Zombie Bro even if they didn't kill the enemy with their bite (previously they had to get the killing blow, but now enemies keep track if they were bitten).
- Enbanishment Scroll relic: Reduced its max cap to 3 (from 9).
//bug fixes
- A bunch of minion attacks weren't conforming with the Ghostly Minions setting.
- When Forgetting a Boneraise Lore or Heroic Force meta moving the selector at the same time could temporarily unlock the meta the selector move to.
- The pink "x2 resolution" font was using the x1 font for the * symbol.
- Dark Metaman class: There were 2 metas called 'Soulen Embolden' (one has been renamed to 'Soulen Invigorati').
Patch v31.9
- The 'Beggar Seller' traveller event was causing a crash.
Patch v31.8
- The game now saves an extra backup of the save file to the base save directory called "save_extra_backup.dat". Surely Steam wouldn't wipe the backup of the backup?
- Regrowth Returnal spell: This has been tweaked so having less of the contraption benefits more than having a lot (eg having 1 Bushy Fruit will more quickly regrow now than if you had 4).
//bug fixes
- The Spellious Dealer traveller could cause a game freeze.
- Castle Conquest: The Stage Complete screen music was using the Radio music instead of the Prologue music, which could also cause a crash if no Radio tune was selected.
- Castle Conquest: The save file wasn't being deleted correctly so could cause issues if playing as the same Class over multiple runs.
- Castle Conquest: The Readers Digest meta could give you a free spell if you loaded a save which didn't have any spells.
- Compendium - Leaderboards: Pressing Up to change the map would skip over the Unsanctified Crypt map.
- When starting a Castle Conquest the initial Blacksmith event would sometimes not pause the stage music.
- The dark red colour of Deamon minions wouldn't change to the correct Meldus colour which affected some minions/spells (eg Manic Mime).
- Majick Doppelganger minion: He could cast spells at the end of a Castle Conquest stage which could cause issues.
- Jewellery Box relic: This could create slimes at the end of a Castle Conquest stage which could cause issues.
Patch v31.7
You can now delete all of your Boneraiser Steam Achievements via the Delete Save Settings menu, in case you want to relive Thy First Boner.
//misc changes
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- Crypt Hub: You can now turn off the radio if you prefer deathly silence.
- Crypt Hub: When choosing a class you can now press Menu Back to cancel the selection.
- Castle Conquest: A path can now never have "+0%".
- The game window title will no longer display the version number (so you don't have to constantly update programs like Windowed Borderless Gaming).
- 360 Stick setting: Slightly increased the sensitivity and reduced the stick deadzone so movement is a bit smoother.
- Game Over screen: Added onscreen error lines if the anti-cheat is triggered (makes debugging easier).
- Raise Brospellious: Raising a Chesty Bro will now give a 'Magical Chest' spell. Raising a Chupacabro will now give an 'Echo of the Wilds' spell. Raising an Eggy Bro will now give a 'Spellious Spewious' spell.
- Lunatic Fanatic boss: Slightly reduced his starting Health.
- Werewolf Prince boss: His movement speed when attacking now has a minimum speed (as it was a bit pathetic at the beginning of the fight).
- Bloodum Barrel contraption: The amount of Occult Hearts it spawns is now random (1-3 instead of 3).
//bug fixes
- Meldum Escapade achievements: It's description was wrongly referring to the Mighty meldus minions as "Giantan". An example has also been added.
- The Curse of Greed was triggering the anti-cheat system which would prevent your score from being uploaded to the online leaderboards.
- Mausoleum Awakens - Marshes of Madness map: Stage 9 could cause a game freeze if there were a lot of Zombie Knights on the map.
- Mausoleum Awakens - Marshes of Madness map: During the Royal Guard stage the zombie cannon balls would revert to normal sprites when near the end of the stage.
- Boneworld Challenges - Psycho Possessed class: The 'Personality Feelings' and 'Dissociative Clockwork' meta weren't counting as being unlocked.
- Cyclop Exile: Fixed some wording errors in his class meta.
- Boneraise: When offered a Diablos minion the first description line was incorrect.
- Status Screen: The spell slots weren't showing if you didn't currently have any spells.
- Crypt Hub - Class Selection: The locked class text was wrong.
Patch v31.6
//Crypt Hub changes
- When choosing a Class there's now 3 potential gems above the class showing progression (full class meta, beat off King, Beat off Queen).
- Added an extra gem colour around the coffin to also show which classes have pounded the Queen (grey -> purple -> blue -> yellow).
- Added a tutorial ghosty that explains the Heroic Force since it's important info that can be missed (he'll show up after you have 12+ Boneraise Lore meta).
//misc changes
- Changed the Heroic Force meta description so it references that they can add extra stages.
- Blight: Enemies suffering from Blight now reduce their move speed as soon as they lose any Health (instead of it only starting at 66% Health).
- Money Bag relic: This relic now gives +500 Gold Coins (instead of 250). It now also increases your Score by the same amount.
- Midas Touch spell: Doubled the amount of Gold Coins this spell gifts you. It now also increases your Score by the same amount.
//bug fixes
- Starting in Fullscreen mode then alt-tabbing would not show the game in the Windows Task Bar.
- Starting in Fullscreen mode would put the game on a second monitor if available.
- Class Heritage: Changing the class could trigger if you held the Confirm button down when moving into the central slot.
- The title screen's meta cheat wasn't resetting inputs correctly (so was easy to trigger by mashing controls).
- Imp Contraptioneer: During the King Gigald fight he could remake the contraptions that the King destroyed when falling on them.
- Miserable Wretch event: If this resulted in you gaining a Spell it wasn't telling you what the spell was.
- King Gigald: Some contraptions that he falls on weren't being destroyed (eg Fungal Growths).
- Settings - Gamepad: The Escape button was incorrectly labelled as Status.
- Castle Conquest - Game Over: If you just reloaded a save then the score shown would instantly change to the loaded score.
Patch v31.5
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- If you have the Full Mouse Support setting on but are currently using a gamepad then it will now temporarily disable full mouse support until you mouse click.
- Lock Mouse setting: Added a border around the edge of the window (so should be a little harder to click outside).
//bug fixes
- Castle Conquest: The Stage Complete menu wasn't working with full Mouse Support.
- Palace Lift map: Casting the Echo of the Wilds spell would spawn Bees/Mushies in an unreachable place outside of the map (it now spawns extra Birds instead).
- Crypt Hub - Meta Altar Tutorial: The final text line wasn't showing.
- Deamonic Ritual meta: The level 3 lightning storm was triggering even at level 1.
Patch v31.4
//misc changes
- Crypt Hub: When interacting with the Leaderboard painting the view will now default to the Surround scores, or if you don't yet have a score then default to The Elite (so it doesn't initially just show an empty leaderboard).
- Castle Conquest - Soul Receptacle contraption: At the end of the stage it will now empty its stored Hero Soul (and be sucked to you).
- Castle Conquest - Palace Lift map: 2 Slop Pot contraptions have been added (so the Imp Contraptioneer class has something to use his ability on).
- Castle Conquest - Queen's Palace map: The regular Treasure Chests have been replaced with Treasured Chesty contraptions (so the Imp Contraptioneer class has something to use his ability on).
- Lunatic Fanatic mini-boss: His extra balls will now always spawn directly opposite to you (so you have a bit of time to get out of its way).
- The basic Custodian level 1/2 enemies can now be affected by the House of Wax spell and Mighty Manipulor minion.
- Haunted Ghosts now conform with the Ghostly Minions setting (eg from a Sullern Urn relic or Fleetly Hauntings spell).
- Blessed Slimes and Swollen Slimes now drop pink/yellow gems upon death (instead of dropping bones).
- Psycho Possessed class: After choosing a class to possess it will now show a countdown screen if you have the Item Countdown setting on.
- Marshes of Madness map: Slightly darkened the floor and shoreline (so a bit less visual clutter).
//bug fixes
- Castle Conquest - Psycho Possessed class: It wasn't saving and detecting save files correctly whilst using this class.
- Hub Buddies: You wrongly needed level 2 before the "discover undiscovered item" option would show.
- Beast Whisperer class: Their Meldus colour palette wasn't working (eg used by a Manic Mime minion or Mimicry Tears spell).
- Souleater Dealer: He wasn't offering minions. He could offer minions/relics you haven't yet discovered.
- Gaunt Skewerer minion: During a boss fight he would sometimes teleport to you instead of continuing to attack the boss.
- Pumpkin Bro minion: They weren't entering their Chase animation during a King/Queen boss fight.
- Berry Bro minion: If exploded it wasn't counting towards their max cap (so were unlimited).
- Blood Pact relic: Giving a Loot Box or Forged Soul would give extra benefits (eg extra relics).
- The Service Bell and Crystal Ball could spawn traveller events at the same time as other traveller events.
- Some minion attacks could inflict Hex on bosses (eg Bloater Spores).
- King Gigald: If he was using a special skin colour then it could also affect the colours of other objects (eg in the Unsanctified Crypt map).
- Boning Totem contraption: This wasn't working correctly with Waxen Beggar minions.
Patch v31.3
- The Clashful Cards game mode now has full Mouse Support.
- Crypt Hub: An interactable painting has been added next to the Castle Conquest doorway which shortcuts to the Conquest online leaderboards.
- Crypt Hub - Goblusious: When you research a lost relic it will now also discover them in the Itemography too (since you already know what it does).

- Castle Conquest: It will now delete your current save file if you reach the game mode completion screen.
//bug fixes
- Clashful Cards: If you played the tutorial first then playing the card game would softlock you.
- Cyclop Exile class - Divine Divination meta: Its title and description were wrong.
- Doll Maker class: The Cannibal, Shaman, Bandit, Mugger, weren't benefitting from the Boning Totem contraption.
- Tamed Immortis Necarch minion: This wasn't showing its name in the Status Screen or Itemography.
- Snowblow Snowman spell: Max Health modifiers weren't being immediately applied whilst your a Snowman (eg from relics).
- Castle Conquest - Status Screen: After stage 11 the map title was showing as "-1" (it now shows the stage instead of the map in Conquest).
- Crypt Hub - Boneworld Challenges: The doorway gem for the Weekly wasn't triggering correctly.
- Compendium - Leaderboards: When viewing the online Castle Conquest leaderboards the menu title was wrong.
- Creative Plaything: Chesty Bro minions would spew goodies before starting the game.
Patch v31.2
- The Marshes of Madness, Accursed Cathedral and Unsanctified Crypt maps now use the Mausoleum Awakens map events. For example human enemies might have the appearance of zombie/ghost/curse during certain stages.
- Poison and Occult Poison will now be removed when starting a new stage.
- Save files will now track Occult Health.
//castle conquest bug fixes
- If you reloaded a save file from the Game Over screen then it could still submit your online score to the leaderboard.
- Classes that gain a max health boost weren't being applied when starting a new stage until you boneraised (eg Liche Necromancer).
- If you were fast enough you could outrun the stage end bone suckage thus continuing the stage which was useful if you had the likes of Barrow Diggers (now these minions/contraptions don't spawn new goodies so there's no point in sticking around).
- Imp Contraptineer class: Save files weren't keeping track of his Scrap value.
//misc bug fixes
- The Nice achievement wasn't triggering.
- Mausoleum Awakens - Untended Townisle map: The base contraptions weren't being spawned.
- Crypt Hub - If you sold/forgot Boneraise Lore meta that affected the hub (eg Hub Buddies) then it wouldn't immediately update some hub objects.
- Crypt Hub - Fabellia would be unlocked once you have at least 5 hats (instead of only unlocking if you have the Hub Buddies meta).
- If you killed the King/Queen while as a Snowman it would cause a crash.
- Mausoleum Awakens - New Game Forever: When using the Fortuity Destiny map it would randomise the map each loop.
- Creative Plaything - Escape Menu: The "quit to creative hub" option wasn't working correctly.
- Beast Whisperer class: Some minions weren't benefiting from the Boning Totem contraption.
- Roaming Traveller: Some events were showing your current spells (it should only be the spell seller).

- Fixed some typos.
