Their stats may however be inappropriate given the balance changes. To opt into the beta branch right-click on Slasher's Keep in your Steam library, select Properties, click the Betas tab, then select the beta branch from the drop-down menu.

Increased duration of acid puddles from spider boss eggs. Also decreased egg HP.
Increased average amount of spikes on walls in dungeon type 2 in simple rooms.
Increased zombie base damage.
Increased elemental damage on gems.
Changed the way strength translates to melee damage to scale up with player level. Decreased base damage on melee weapons to compensate. This should shift the balance in favor of strength vs. raw item damage over the course of the game.
Also did that for intelligence and ranged damage.
Also changed the way dexterity translates to armor effectiveness to scale differently with player level.
Intelligence now conveys a bonus on all XP gained.
Dexterity now translates to crit chance more favorably.
Crit damage bonus moved from dexterity to intelligence.
Base attributes on items will now scale less drastically.
Items of tier 2 or higher now always have requirements. They can also have two required attributes, which previously only tier 4 and 5 did. Also raised lowest possible requirements and made requirements more consistent. Removed requirements on component items as they were discarded during assembly anyway.
Requirements should also take into account progress from previous runs on the same character now.

Crossguard type components will now only work on sword builds.
Increased base goodness for shaft and crossguard type components a bit (better stats on them).
Wands now have individual charges instead of using mana. The mana bar has been replaced with an ammo bar displaying individual cartridges. Each wand has a set maximum capacity based on its type. The maximum mana attribute on items has been removed.
Mana potions have been replaced with chromatic crystals of different quantities depending on item quality tier which is determined by the goodness of the loot drop rather than player level. Mana shrine is now an ammo shrine which fills the equipped wand to full capacity.
Drinking wine now has a chance of restoring a small amount of ammunition to the equipped wand.
The Gourmet skill increases that chance with each skill level.
The Arachnophile skill has been changed to convey a similar chance of restoring ammunition, also increasing with skill level.
Consume Corpse also yields ammunition.
The Blue-Blooded skill now increases the capacity of the equipped wand instead of the mana regeneration threshold. Each level gives you 10% extra max ammo (or at least 1 shot) to a maximum of 100%.
Cold Fusion Metabolism gives another 10%.
Added skill: Power Reloads - Allows overcharging of wands to increase the damage of following shots instead of having shots go to waste. Example: Wand is at 7/10 capacity, use a crystal that restores 6 shots, wand is now at 10/10 with the next 3 shots dealing increased damage. The number of shots enhanced in this way can be discerned from a particle effect on the ammo bar in the HUD. This skill is encountered in the mid-game.
Added skill: Fiery Shots - Wand discharges of any type will be enhanced by fire in regular intervals. Think modern machine guns where every fifth round or so is a tracer. These shots will have their damage type changed to fire, so they can ignite tar puddles and synergize with the Pyromancer skill. You can tell which shots are fiery by the fire effect on the individual cartridges in the ammo bar. You should start to see this skill in the late game.
Added skill: Exothermic Shrinomancy - Makes shrines explode upon use; One more for the mid-game. Synergizes with Bomberperson.
Replaced item images for 5 gems, 1 longsword and 1 shortsword
Replaced one orc pin-up poster and added another new one.
Knockback can now be passed on from one enemy to another.
Some minor tweaks, visual and otherwise.
This patch will have to upgrade your savegames upon loading. That means the game will generate a new dungeon floor of your current dungeon level. Your character and items will remain unchanged. However, your old weapons may be a bit overpowered now.
I'll do some more testing to further improve balance.

Some minor touch-ups, audio, visual and otherwise
Added permalearn feature: Every other player level you get a skill point that you can invest in one of your skills (excluding racial skills and special skills (star shaped icon)). That skill will gain a level that persists after death (or after using the prisoner chute in permadeath mode). and doesn't go away if the item you got the skill from originally is unequipped.

Okay, I've switched the game over to XInput, which should play nice with Steam Input. I've also fixed a couple of minor things in the process.
Fixed enemies not hearing you run at them from behind in gamepad mode.
Fixed an issue that caused the crafting component list to lock up when removing a component at the bottom of the list when the list was longer than the visible slots, in gamepad Mode.
Do let me know if you're still having problems with Steam Input.
Edit:
Setting the build live on the default branch.
