Mischievous Monday #34
Welcome back wretched. :]
A new map of sorts has been added called the Transitory Elevator. It's basically just the Castle Conquest lift stage but can now be fully played in the other game modes too. The Conquest lift has had a lick of paint to differentiate them, and there's the usual Necrotic Skirmishes score related achievement.
2 new Big Bro minions have been added which you can raise in the usual way. The Big Chestibooty Bro vomits out various Gems and Coins, but also a small chance of a relic or spell scroll too. It also has a nasty bite with any meanies killed by it will also drop a Gold Coin. The Big Chupacabradabro will gift Occult Health and Bones when sucking on meanies, and against Beast meanies any bones they drop will become Big Bones too.
In the Crypt Hub there's now a peculiar basin just below your coffin. Interacting with it will bring up a menu showing all the game's achievements so you don't have to bother faffing outside of the game to see which achievements you have. The basin's fire size and colour indicates your achievement progress and you can access this menu from the Grimoire Compendium.
Fabellia now sells Crypt Paints which you can use to change the colour of your hub. There's also an achievement for nabbing them all.
8 new hats have been added: Nefarious Knight, Cruel Custodian, Shroomed Out, Muppet Mugger, Dung Eater, Wild Wolfy, You Are Here, Honest Holiness.
4 new Relics have been added: Occult Purse, Accursed Tome of Bonings, Accursed Tome of Antiquities, Accursed Tome of Sorceries.
With Goblusious you can now forget any Lost Relics you've researched, which basically just acts like a Giga Banish. The 3 new Tome relics have been added as Lost Relics so will need to be researched before they show up.
The Cyclop Exile class has a new meta called 'Hired Eyes', which when boneraising you might be offered to hire a Cyclops or Goliath Cyclopian mercenary minion chum in exhange for some Gold Coins. The 'Cyclopian Muggings' meta has also been changed so now Human enemies killed by your Meaty Club will also drop Gold Coins.
The Sprout Brotatoes class has a couple of new head related meta called 'Turnip Sprouting' and 'Eggplant Sprouting', so instead of sprouting a boomy pumpkin head he can instead sprout a turnip head (which boosts your spell casting power) or an eggplant head (which slowly gives Occult Health). Like the pumpkin head their effects will remain until you get touched up by a meanie. Another new meta called 'Brodacious Siblings' has also been added where Brozillas will no longer count towards the normal minion Bro caps so you can have some extra Bro chums. These replace the old Cultivation meta which just gave little boosts to some Bro minions so where a bit naff and easily forgotten.
A new rare traveller event has been added called the Master Baiter. As you can probably guess from the name he traps and tames beasts which you can then hire for some beastly pets.
A new contraption called the Bigly Burly Boulder has been added which reduces the Damage you suffer (this was mainly added just to spruce up the Ravine map).
A new slime enemy has been added called the Sumptuous Slimeous, whose a rather hefty slime that inflicts Occult Poison and dissolves into a Swollen Slime and 2 regular Slimes upon their demise. The Beast Whisperer class can also raise them where meanies killed by them drop gems.
The settings menu now has a separate Audio menu for the sound related options. A 'Master Volume' setting has also been added so you can quickly adjust all volumes equally.
Other misc stuff... - Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file. - Slightly reduced the pickup sound of Gold Coins and Gems. - Creative Plaything: In the Necrotic Skirmishes game mode there's now a 'Bone Reduction' option which allows you to adjust the bone value reduction which gradually happens over time. - If a minion's damage inflicts Meld Rot, then any meldus blobs created from that will be added to the minion's Damage stat (so for example the Mega Meldus Damage stat is more accurate). - Giantous Sinner minion: They now also require a level 1 Skelly sacrifice to boneraise. He now lobs 3 bones instead of 4 when attacking. - Megas Meldsumossous: They now have a Meld Rot aura. Slightly increased their Attack Speed. - Magma Gargantuan: Their lava pools are now darker if you have the 'Declutter Floor' setting on. Slightly increased the Damage their Lava Pools do. - Chupacabro minion: Increased the rate they give Occult Health. - Traveller event - Beggar Seller: The chance of him selling a fake relic has been increased but there's now a way to spot the fake.
Some bug fixes... - Crypt Hub - Boneraiser FM: When using full Mouse Controls clicking outside of the menu would cause a crash. - Crypt Hub - Goblusious - Lose Relics: The Sinicious Ritual relic was displaying the wrong colour when locked. - Gangly Grafted class - Giantraiser Minions meta: This was boosting the chance of being offered Big Bro minions. - Sprout Brotatoes class - Raise Brospellious: Raising a Brozilla wasn't giving any spells. - Colossal Tooth relic: This was boosting the chance of being offered Big Bro minions. - Creative Plaything: The game mode mutators menu could have the wrong title. - Fixed some spelling/grammar mistakes.
Enjoy! :]
Patch v33.13
//bug fixes - Snowblow Snowman spell: This spell being cast could cause a crash. - Hulking Fists relic: Some Giant minion attacks weren't benefitting from the Damage boost (Giantan Summoner, Magma Gargantuan). - Mausoleum Awakens - New Game Forever: On the win screen during Christmas Mode it would show the regular NGF text.
Patch v33.12
Psst... next Monday may well be Mischievous... :]
//misc changes - Compendium - Leaderboards: You can now view the Boneworld Challenge leaderboards here, and switch between Daily/Weekly when viewing them. - Mauseleum Awakens - New Game Forever: After winning a run if you choose not to continue or have beaten NGF2 then it will now delete the saved run file. - Boneraising: Special texts from relic effects now show at the bottom so they don't overwrite top texts (eg Scavvy Mitts).
//bug fixes - Mauseleum Awakens - New Game Forever: If you win a run and choose not to continue or reach the end of NGF2 then it could show the option to reload the saved run. - Castle Conquest: You could be offered the Blacksmith event even if you didn't have any relics. - Creative Plaything: When entering a new New Game Forever loop it was starting the loop based on the mutators set instead of starting a fresh loop. - Creative Plaything - Starting Legion: The Barrowing Band text was incorrect. - Restless Abyss map: The Player could initially emerge from an unopened cave (in New Game Forever and Castle Conquest). - Settings - Delete Save: Deleting all Steam Achievements would miss some (Ultimate Bro Lifeform, Ultimate Giant Lifeform, Neighbourly Boners). - Magpie Monocle relic: During cutscenes if was still showing the Darkness layer.
Patch v33.11
//misc changes - Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file. - Blood Pact relic: If one of the items was a Loot Box then it will now show the Loot Box effect text instead of the Blood Pact text (so you don't have to check the Status Screen to see what the Box gave).
//bug fixes - Mauseleum Awakens - New Game Forever: Loading a previously saved run from the Game Over or Escape Menu screen could cause issues with relics/minions (it wasn't correctly flushing the data so for example some minions could carry over from the previous run when boneraising which could cause weirdness or a crash). - The Clashful Card unlocks weren't saving correctly when collected/bought/sold. - Crypt - Goblusious: Researching Relic/Spell unlocks wasn't saving correctly. - Voodoo Shaman class - Occultis Agonia meta: It's description didn't reference the Tangler roots (which was added in the previous patch).
Patch v33.10
//misc changes - The Compendium related "save.dat" data has now been separated into its own save file called "save_compendium.dat" (just to help narrow down the save deletion issue). - Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file. - Mausoleum Awakens - New Game Forever: You can now save your run between loops and reload it if you die or exit the game (note loaded runs won't submit a score to the online leaderboard though). - Castle Conquest - Stage 12 Dungeon Lift map: The layout has been tweaked (as hiding in the far side made it a bit easy). There's now 4 contraption spots which are usually taken up by Pots and up to 2 Treasure Chests. There's now a chance enemies can fall closer to you than normal (to keep you on your toes). - A Custodian Champion enemy has been added. In Castle Conquest he'll show up in Stage 11. In Necrotic Skirmishes he'll show up instead of a regular Champion if the timer is beyond 9 minutes, and a special pink version will now show instead of the King Guard (this is just since the Guard are hard to spot in the crowd). - Voodoo Shaman class: A new meta has been added called 'Sinfulus Witches' which allows them summon a Deamonic Witch without need of a Hero Soul pickup, and they don't count towards the Deamon minion cap (max 3). - Voodoo Shaman class - Roots Growen meta: This has been merged into the 'Occultis Agonia' meta where instead of creating tangle roots upon each boneraise it will now create the roots when you are hurt (this change is just to make room for the 'Sinfulus Witches' meta). - Ravenous Ravine map - Necrotic Skirmishes: Greatly increased the amount of 'Burly Boulder' contraptions, but removed the 'Possessed Lamp Post'. - Magma Gargantuan minion: His lava pools will no longer slow you down when moving through them. - Nuggeted Pumpkin: This has been repurposed into Pumpkin Pie where instead of creating explosions upon opening a Treasure Chest it now creates Heart and Occult Heart pickups. - Ring of Fire relic: This now affects all pools (eg the ghost pools created by the Ectoplasm Poop relic and lava pools). The fire it creates in mud pools will now have full alpha (since it was difficult to see what the relic does with the Declutter Floor setting on).
//bug fixes - Crypt Hub: If Christmas Mode was off but you then turn it on in the Hub then you could get trapped inside the tree when it spawns. - Mausoleum Awakens - Win Game Screen: Fixed a couple of issues with some of the Christmas Mode text not displaying correctly. - Some of the classes that have meta that makes specific Deamon minions not add to the Deamon cap could still be sacrificed to summon a Diablos thus bypassing the Deamon cap further (Sorcerer Hollow, Imp Contraptineer). - Creative Plaything: If you were playing New Game Forever then quitting to the creative hub would just restart the current loop. - Crypt - Piggy Banky: You could still buy/sell a meta even if it had already been maxed (it wouldn't take you over the max cap but still felt weird). - Ectoplasm Poop relic: The ghost pool could spawn very close to another ghost pool. - The top player text position would jerk up if a stage intro text faded out.
