Skill mechanics
Knockback (new effect): Push or pull target a set distance over a short duration. Pull is stopped when target is next to caster. Can also be used for moving the caster instead of the target.
Summon skills: Updated to work better when used by player. Damage dealt scales with gear power and health scales with enemy damage multiplier (so that the summoned creature survives roughly the same amount of hits regardless of level). The summon can also follow player through doors.
Damage-over-time effects: Updated so that they can be added to any skill.
Enemies
Slightly increased health of all enemies (to compensate for the enchant buffs).
Light now quickly fades from enemies upon death (regardless of how they die).
Some corpses and flesh pieces will now disappear upon player’s resurrection if there’s a lot of them around. The limit depends on graphics quality setting.

Bugfixes & minor updates - (v0.26.3a)
Summary
Now that NewGame+ can be started, it’s time to start fixing the bugs related to it.
Also fixed an issue with some gamepads and made a few other minor changes.
------
Bugfixes
Probably fixed bug where NewGame+ could be advanced by two steps at a time (going from NG to NG+2 for example). If this still happens (or if you have an old save where this happened), see end of these notes for a fix.
Fixed bug where enemies gained much too high bonuses in NG+2 and onwards.
Fixed an issue with starting a normal new game when NG+ was ready to start.
Fixed bug where Spinning Blades (trinket) didn't get saved and would be lost when loading a save.
Controller change
Reduced the amount of keys which can change controller from gamepad to keyboard (to Enter, Space and Return).
Note: Buttons/sticks on some gamepads could register as keyboard controls. This change was made to reduce the chances of that happening.
Save file
Reordered variables in the save file to make it easier to tweak. Old saves do still work thanks to the magics of xml.
Enemy healthbars
The division mark changes to represent a 4x higher amount of health after 600 max hp (which will happen for most enemies during NG+).
Items
Brutal Flamestaff
-Flamethrower
-Reduced damage and range (they were way too high)
-Changed ability icon
Scripted events
Increased the duration of texts.
Main Menu
Continue button now shows the amount of NG+ in save (e.g. Normal+2). Also it now shows “Continue” as the text if NG+ was started but first level wasn’t cleared after that.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
How to fix an incorrect NewGame+ number
Quit game.
Go to game local folder (you can find it by right-clicking the game in Steam library, then selecting Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files)
Go to Dragonpath_Data/SaveData folder.
Open GameState_0.sav with any text editor (e.g. NotePad).
Find the line 2 and change the number in the middle to the correct value (1 for the first NG+). Remember to save changes to the file.
Restart game and press Continue.
