Boneraiser Minions
Patch v36.7
- Status Screen: Some level 3 Skelly minions now have a new description (previously they would use their level 1 boneraise description which could omit level 3 abilities eg the Voodoo Witch's Deathen Curse).
- The "translation_reference.csv" file has been updated (added new section: "Section - Minions").
//bug fixes
- Some of the very old save data from the Early Access days wasn't being loaded correctly. It will now load that old data and re-save it into the new format.
- Status Screen: When viewing the Class Meta Summary page opening the Escape Menu would show it behind the Status Screen.
- Doll maker class - Peasantry Knighthood / Knightly Paladinhood boneraise: These were counting as a fresh Boneraise.
- Majick Doppelganger minion: If they cast the Sanguine Pickaxes spell then it would reduce your Max Health.
- Forged Soul pickup: This wasn't triggering some Class meta related to Hero Soul perks (eg Doll Maker's Waxpiles Gobbler).
- Boning Totem: As a Doll Maker if you had Banished an upgraded Waxen minion that it would usually raise then it wasn't instead multiplying the normal minions. They could still raise an Elven Enchantress even if Banished.
Patch v36.6
- Majick Doppelganger: Their code base now uses the Player's spell casting code instead of their own separate minion casting code. Gameplay-wise you shouldn't notice a difference though there's little bits and bobs changes (eg minions casting the Pumpkined Comets spell can now spawn the bigger pumpkins). The main difference is under the hood their code is now a lot cleaner and consistent.
//bug fixes
- Sacrificeous Brozillous spell: This would cause a crash if cast by the Player.
- Majick Doppelganger minion: They would cause a crash if cast the Drain Boner spell.
- Bodily Fluids spell: This could replace Spellious Hero Soul pickups that were on the floor.
- Mimicry Tears spell: Some of the Waxen minion colours weren't correct.
Patch v36.5
- A new Visibility setting has been added called Full Frontal Meanies which when On shows enemies above everything else (eg your minions and terrain).
- Settings - Visibility: The options are now better organised with each page having their own title and appropriate options.
- The "translation_reference.csv" file has been updated (added: MnWrd_Minions, MnWrd_Pickups, MnWrd_Screen, MnWrd_Misc).
- Creative Plaything game mode: This will now permanently unlock once its unlocked once (in case you want to test things without full meta).
- The messages that can show at the bottom of the screen can now show up to 3 at the same time (so they don't overwrite each other).
- Majick Doppelganger / Waxen Wizard minions: Their available spell pool now includes every spell (though the more powerful spells have a very low chance).
- Blasphemous Trinket relic: Clarified its description (so its clear "Heavenly Vessels" are meanies).
- Blasphemous Prayers spell: Clarified its description (so its clear "Heavenly Vessels" are meanies).
//bug fixes

- Sorcerer Hollow class - Bookshelf Familiar meta: When entering New Game Plus it was creating 2 Bookshelf Familiars.

- Bonebrobigly Destineous boneraise: This wasn't raising a Big Chupacabradabro and Big Raspiberry Bro.
- Manic Mime minion: If it was miming a Deamon then it would be affected by Deamon related relic/spells instead of Meldus (eg Sigil relics).
- Desecrated Rage/Acuity/Mysticism relic: When playing as the Doll Maker or Beastwhisperer classes they could offer you a minion even if you didn't have the correct class meta.
- Barrow Bonebolster spell: This could level up a Manic Mime (which could cause several issues).
- Barrow Bonebolster spell: As the Doll Maker there was a chance the spell wouldn't work correctly if your legion contained a Waxen Custodian.
Patch v36.3
- Some more of the player's Snazzy Hats now have the head-turning idle animation: Manic Miner, Yer A Wizard Hat, Wicked Witchy, Divertirse Sombrero, Gentlemanly Top Hat.

- Giantous Sinner minion: They now lob 5 bones instead of 3 with their Damage reduced accordingly (this is just so they have a better chance of hitting enemies as they tended to miss a lot when only lobbing 3).
- Chesty Mimic: Increased its Health by 5 multiplied by the current stage.
- Giga Chesty Mimic: Increased its Health by 10 multiplied by the current stage.
//bug fixes

- Castle Conquest - Stage 11: The Wizarding Councilor now ignores the 'Mini-Boss Veterans' Heroic Force meta (which allowed them to fire projectiles when doing their orbital attack).

Patch v35.25
In the General Settings a new Display option has been added called Fullscaling. It's a bit of a mix between Fullscreen and Borderless Window so you can set a resolution for the game screen which is shown in the middle of your monitor and then any remainder space around it is filled with black. Useful for if you use an unusual monitor resolution and a cluttered desktop as it's a more immersive version of Windowed mode. Note when set to Fullscaling the Resolution option will also change to Resolution Scaling (which you can adjust) to guarantee that the game screen will always use pixel perfect scaling no matter your desktop resolution.
