And some extra odds and sods. Enjoy!

Content:

Closed Beta Patch 0.2.3
Teleporters! - This oft-requested feature will let you blip back to the start room from any Vault, Boss, or Shop room - hopefully saving some running around.
Steam Integration - You can now start earning Steam Achievements alongside your in-game achievements. I wouldn’t get too used to ‘em - we’re sure to change achievements up as we move to Early Access, but this is a key step for being able to do them fully in the future.
Twitch Improvements! - We’ve worked with several streamers (thanks @1ceprime, @Kahvikone, and @MoreThenThree!) to test our Twitch integration where stream viewers can vote along with the NPC fans, and improved the process of getting authed up and the voting itself.
In addition, there are also a number of bug fixes, polished thangs, and quality-of-life improvements - often based on hearing issues and suggestions from our discord. Drop by, say hi, ask questions, or give feedback and opinions! Any runs you can do are handy for feeding the analytics machine, but giving us an earful about what’s good and what ain’t is even better!
There are roughly 400 folks who have helped out testing so far, with hundreds more still waiting on the signup list (we’ll getcha in!)
Thanks!

Hotfix 0.2.2.2
This time we really are patching every day because we can!
This is a small update, being posted largely because we improved the process for integrating with Twitch quite a bit. With more testers coming in over the next few days, we figured we’d make anyone streaming have a bit easier time of things with the new changes.
Otherwise, there’s a day’s worth of content improvements - enjoy!

Hotfix 0.2.2.1
We’re so awesome that we patch every day, just because we can!
Meanwhile, over here on planet Um-Actually, there’s a quite spammy warning message in the Sticky Mess event from yesterday’s patch that we wanted to get cleaned up.
For free, we’ve tossed in today’s other changes, including the “Spinning Tiles shouldn’t affect you while hovering” fix.
If these fixes break further things, we’ll learn a valuable lesson about minimalistic hotfixes. (that admittedly we shoulda learned a long time ago, but oop-la, what can ya do?)
Enjoy!
Content:

-- Added Explosive Skin mutation - explode when you dash into things
Polish:

Closed Beta Patch 0.2.1
Our focii this week were thrifold:
Getting in some new content in the down time before we would start getting Closed Beta feedback and bugs.
Bunches of bugfixes once we started getting testers giving feedback!
Occasionally sleepin.
So, with that in mind, updates over this 5-day window:
Content:
-- Added new Armor Blood Armor - can only be repaired by picking up hearts
-- Added new Carnage Item Fan Favorite - requests an extra Fan Event from your fans (will stack - so if you already have one pending you'll now have 2 in the next room)
-- Added new Fan Event - Sticky Mess. Black, sticky goop rains down during the next combat. Ew.
-- Added new Fan Event - Gadget Play -- Gadgets rain from the sky during your next combat, disappearing about as quickly as they fall
-- Added rare mutation Dangerous - raises your POW by 1.0, multiplies all damage you do by 150%, raises Threat (all creature/trap damage) by 1/2 heart.
-- Added new NPC LevelUp buff - Trap Proof* - enemies now resist traps, are vulnerable to weapons and projectiles
-- Added new level achievement Explorer -- 12 fans (base) for visiting every (non-corridor, non-meta) room on the level
-- Added a new circular arena room
-- Added a new X-shaped arena room
-- Added a new bomb focused arena
-- Cleaned up the existing arena rooms
-- Added lit bombs to common consumable pools
UI:
-- Darkened the LevelEndSummary screen because it was like staring into the blazing nuclear furnace of the sun while playing at night (thanks @Seebo @Goat of Departure)
Polish:
-- Flak Jacket (or any armor that didn't adjust stats) wouldn't adjust character sheet properly until something else made the sheet update. Fixed. Nice find, @Wraiths
-- Audio is now played relative to your avatar’s position instead of the camera's position. (This was making the game oddly quiet when the camera was zoomed out, etc.)
-- Fixed an issue where blocked span cages would blink in and out of your view quickly
-- Enabled ability for twitch whispers to be received by game
-- Tweaked twitch logging
-- Updated many animations
-- Added new audio files
-- Fixed an issue where if the oompa camera was hit by a big enough Nuke, could throw a warning
-- Added counterclockwise spinning blade trap
-- Made Carnage room in tutorial use blade trap directions that naturally help shove baddies into pits
-- Removed a ton of unnecessary collision on the various gladiators and the Champ (fixes an issue where they would path erratically as their worn items could block their own pathing)
-- Fixed issue where flying NPCs/your Telekinetic Weapon could occasionally get confused inside of tire stacks (thanks @Hammy)
-- Fixed a bug with resurrection where if a resurrectable creature was walloped to death exactly 5 seconds after resurrecting it would destroy itself rather than forming a corpse (@blobdole how the hell did you find that?)
-- Possible fix for spurious semi-hidden UE4 spline crash that is creating extra crash logs (and may fix @Snorlaxxo's initial game launch issue)
-- Fixed an issue where unplanned pits could cause the room to stay stuck in lockdown if they blocked a spawn cage (Thanks @Wraiths)
-- Activating Dev Mode should now be much harder to do accidentally (thanks @Snorlaxxo7!)
-- Updated lit bombs to work when spawned directly by a room
-- Updated lit bomb art and sfx

Dev Notes

-- Added new C++ function for updating health containers to CPP_BaseCharacter
-- [DEV] Some backend work to allow future permanent grafting of armor via machine
Checkin:

-- [DEV] Rooms now register themselves with Levelmanager at initialization time
* Beta note: Keep an eye out for the new level up buff (Trap Proof) and let us know how it feels.
Some thoughts: Our goals with the NPC buffs are to change the playstyle / make the game more challenging on a per run basis in different ways and to avoid doing so in tedious ways. (and extra HP/armor/etc. can often do that historically when making NPC buffs where fights can be longer more so than harder)
So with that in mind, this level up buff makes the NPCs take 1/4 the normal damage from traps, but double normal melee and projectile damage. This means positioning matters a bit less, whacking things matters more - which should be a change of pace, since positioning is normally really really key. But… we'll have to see if resistances / vulnerabilities are the right way to handle this, because that is a fairly extreme difference. And maybe less positioning is just a less interesting of a playstyle in any case, though the hope would be that it works as a rare-ish change in playstyle.
Anyways, yadda yadda, but keep an eye out for the feel of this one with that in mind and the thought “Do we have too many defensive vs. offensive level buffs for NPCs”.
Thanks!
- Gaff
(Side note, I'll probably be making the various NPC buffs more impactful as a rule so that you really feel the effects. They were originally balanced around a 9-level deep run, not the current 4 levels that we've polished for beta testing - but it's nice if you really feel the difference between "the NPCs got +ZIP 3 times" vs. "The NPCs got +Longshot 3 times". Even if this impact level works though, they might get balanced back down as we open up new levels in the future so as to not be too insane in that context)
Hotfix 0.2.0.2
A few quick minor fixes from today, that also keep us in the groove of doing more frequent mini-updates.
The largest bit here is some retooling of Polls. If you are streaming on Twitch, we cleaned up the broadcasting of the various options and formatting for instructing your viewers how to vote.
UI:
-- Improved twitch chat interface for polls

Analytics:
-- Main Menu is now a valid screen for Analytics

-- DungeonMapGenerator has the ability to send a printout of the dungeon level to the logs
-- Cleanup of how DungeonRoom handles end of combat achievements
-- “Mutant” achievements (which grant bonus fans the more you mutate) now granted bonus fans even during a run in which you die. The Pure Strain Human (bonus for no mutations at all) achievement still requires victory to grant bonus fans
-- Improved twitch logging
-- Removed some log spam from Twitch Chat box
Hotfix 0.2.0.1
Final final tweaks! A few quick fixes as we complete our preparations - enjoy!

Closed Beta Patch 0.2.0
Well, some final tweaks to get ready for a broader testing group are in! Just small stuff in this build, since we’re trying not to make major changes before the invites start going out.
A quick overview of what Closed Beta means for us:
Closed Beta is all about adding yet more interested gamers to beat on the game and give feedback as we continue to develop Gone Viral. We’ve been gathering interested folks on the list for just over a year now, and we’ll be continuing to add more folks as we move forward.
For folks in Friends and Family, not much changes - y’all are automatically in Closed Beta too! You won’t see much different except for new companions in giving feedback and finding bugs, and we’ll continue to be active on discord talking to players, keeping everyone up to date on what we’re doing and generally hanging out.
