Faron's Fate
1.4.2: Crashes fixed!
Not sure what happened over the last week but the game just plain wouldn't launch for most people. I went through some troubleshooting with the people who make Game Maker, and it's all set now. Install the update and have fun!!ːsteamhappyː
Game Currently Isn't Launching!
I want to be completely transparent about all of this so nobody gets upset. I haven't been checking in on Faron's Fate in quite a while, and I've moved onto other projects. I came on Steam to see how it was doing today and everything's just on fire going horribly. The game isn't launching at all right now (which is strange because I haven't updated it in months) But I'm working on uploading new versions and troubleshooting with steam.
Sorry to everyone, this is an annoying bug!!
Faron's Fate v1.4 Update!
Changelog
- Fixed two items not spawning! It's now possible to complete the item collection!
- Various bugfixes
- Rebalanced Time Attack
- Added four new achievements!
Faron's Fate v1.3 Update!
Hey, everyone! Thanks for the outstanding support I've gotten on Faron's Fate so far! Though the game's player base is still small, the reactions of people who have played has been overwhelmingly positive.
I was test playing through the other day and thought of some things that would make the game a lot more fun and balanced. Though I'm focusing most of my time on my next project, I want to make sure that Faron's Fate is stable and fun!
Changelog:
- Changes to the Ouija Board! Previously, the item increased the chances of you fighting a ghost of your previous runs, and also gave +1 damage. I didn't like how the item acted, so now, instead of a flat +1 damage upon picking up the item, you'll actually gain +1 damage for every ghost you kill!
- Improvements to the Wishing Well! Visual indicators for how full the well is (yes, it is saved between runs) and you can now bomb the well if you need gold!
- Rebalanced Time Attack mode (again). You'll now start with Yorick's Curse, which gives you +1 damage every floor!
- Rebalanced the Altar of Fate.
- Lowered the spawn rate of player ghosts slightly
- Fixed a crash with the lazer eye item, it's usable again!
- Various bugfixes
Faron's Fate v1.2 Update
The mechanic of fighting the ghosts of your past runs was something I has a long time ago, back when I was prototyping different types of minibosses for the game. The idea was that if you picked up the power glove, you'd have a chance to fight a ghost Faron carrying a power glove in future runs. However, due to time constraints near release, ghosts were were rushed.
This patch finally makes ghosts fun to fight in my opinion. They've been re-balanced and re-coded to be smarter, telegraph their attacks better, and actually drop the weapons they use when you kill them. To celebrate the bigger, better ghosts, I've increased the spawn rate of ghosts and added a new Ghost Buster! achievement. Enjoy!
Changelog:
- Added more ghost archetypes
- Improved ghost AI
- New achievement: Ghost Buster!
- Added variance to the layout of ghost rooms
- Added a new ghost-themed item: Jar of Souls!
- More ghost spawns!
- Fixed ghosts not being consistent among seeds
- Gave the Time Attack challenge mode a bit of rebalancing. Give it another shot and try to get that achievement!
Faron's Fate v1.1.1 Patch
- Crit chance is now capped at a maximum of 50%
- Nerfed some of the crit boosting items
- Ally flies and spores deal less damage, but no longer activate an enemy's invincibility frames
- Fixed allies getting stuck in doors
- Made infinite runs harder
- Fixed the Demon Crown not doing anything
Faron's Fate v1.1 Update!
Changelog
- Added Steam Achievements! Your first win is just the beginning...
- Faron's head is no longer part of his hitbox
- Improved final boss fight
- Balanced changes to The Core
- The soundtrack now mutes when the game window is out of focus
- Fixed various memory leaks and crashes
- Various bugfixes
Hope everyone enjoys the changes, the game is a lot more stable and polished now. Be sure to leave a steam review if you like the game, it really helps out!
