Update 1.0.3

This update likely broke many mod


Due to the nature of the update (basically changing half the codebase), it make many mod completely broken.
Make dure to disable them to avoid issues until they are properly updated.

Major Changes



  • Huge rewrite of the whole stats system to move onto double precision float instead of single precision float
    The reason behind it was to fix Blood Transmutation
    This mean 10^38 is no longer "infinity" (now it is 10^308), there is some place where 10^38 will still be infinity
    And no this wont change the requirement to reach infinity in survivors mode


QoL

    new formule is `NewIncrease = BaseIncrease / Max(.1,sqrt(CurrentSpeed/100))`

    B-rank loop by 2.5
    A-rank loop by 3
    Additionally, the increase in quality per loop is multiplied by log16 of Challenge bonus SoulCoin (x1 if soulcoin mult is at 16 or less)
  • Reduced scaling of "Multiplier Per Level" equipment from equipment tier
    Formula changed:
    from BaseMultiplier^0.875 + (0.05\*(ItemLevel-1)) +0.125\*ItemTier

    22 loops in D-rank
    19 loops in C-rank
    16 loops in B-rank

Rog Knight Plushies

Hello.



Last week I have been contacted by Makeship to create a plushie themed on Rogue: Genesia.
While I initially was sceptical (I received a mountain of obvious spam in my mail about X or Y since the 1.0 release), after a bit of research, I've found out that they are legit, and that they even made some plushies for a very well-known boomer shooter that starts with ultra, and ends with kill.

They proposed to make a plushie for Rogue: Genesia.



Their process is quite interesting and totally adapted to an indie/solo dev like me.
They first create a pledging campaign, where people can pledge $30 + tax/shipping (only $2 are deducted at this point) to buy a plush.
If 200 or more people pledge, then the campaign is a success (otherwise, every person who pledged gets reimbursed the $2 they initially had deducted).

Once the campaign is a success, there will be a 90 to 180-day phase with their design where I'll give multiple feedbacks to finalize the design.
After this, the plushies will be available for sale on their website for 21 days.

I quickly realized this could be a super cool way to have a cute plushie of Rog
(I ran a survey on the game Discord to know which character players would prefer as a plushie first, but Rog won by a landslide)



Following that, I couldn't stop myself from making a small concept art of what a plushie of Rog would look like, trying to base myself on their existing plushies.



The pledging campaign is available at this link if you are interested:
