0.2.4 Patch Highlights

Patch Notes

New Features

• NEW Added 3 achievements (and reworked one old achievement "Where is my Mind?")
  
• Shrines have been reworked. They allow you to pick a permanent stat upgrade. There is a total of 20 unique stats available and each shrine prompts you with 3 choices.
  
• Blood Altars have been reworked. For sacrificing 1 heart or soul heart, they allow you to get an equipment item. You get to pick the base type the item will be.
  
• NEW Cursed Shrines return from their slumber. For +1 Curse they allow you to pick a permanent stat upgrade. There is a total of 20 unique stats available and each shrine prompts you with 3 choices.
  

New Options and QoL Features

• Evade refresh cooldown is now displayed in the bottom right corner.
  
• Added new option that allows more seamlessly toggling between mouse gameplay and gamepad gameplay. It removes the notification, it reduces the timespan it takes to switch and it makes the mouse cursor permanently visible. I only know very few people who play the game switching back and forth between mouse and gamepad, but for those of you who do, I hope this improves your experience.
  
• You can now cancel out of Obsidian Dice and Trait Tomes.
  
• You can now eat many consumables directly from the floor.
  

Major General Changes

• World 1 Floor 1 (Pit) and World 1 Floor 6 (Reef) have new original music tracks made by the beloved and talented MiguelAngell960. I also added new options to the audio settings in which you can go back to the classic tracks if you prefer those.
  
• When a reward (door) is cursed, it now always upgrades the tier of the reward.
  
• Red Dice now remove curse from cursed rewards (doors).
  
• Cursed Hits and Lucky Hits aren't mutually exclusive anymore and can now happen both at the same time.
  
• Cursed Hits: Now roll damage twice and take the lower roll, instead of requiring succeeding critical hit rolls twice for critical hit outcome.
  
• Lucky Hits: Now roll damage twice and take the higher roll, instead of rolling twice for a successful critical hit outcome.
  
• Minimum damage roll stats can now exceed 100%. If it exceeds 100%, that value becomes the new top end damage and the normal top end damage becomes the new low end damage. E.g.: At 130% minimum damage roll, your damage now rolls between "top end" and "top end extrapolated to 130%".
  
• Fear debuff now grants 100% minimum damage taken roll, previously 50%.
  
• Horror debuff now grants 200% minimum damage taken roll, previously 75%.
  
• NEW sound ailment: Echo. Similar to effects like Judgement, Doom and Frostbite, upon reaching 2 stacks, this ailment consumes the stacks to deal damage. The damage of Echo also counts as repeat damage.
  

Minor General Changes

• Base aura size increased by 0.5 units. (Now 6 units, previously 5.5 units, before first nerf 6.5 units.)
  
• The tooltip which describes what impact gloves have on your unarmed attacks now only shows up when you are unarmed.
  
• The diminishing returns of Power have been slightly lessened.
  
• Effects that recover stamina now indicate that with a sound effect and a little text popup.
  
• The event room that grants Excalibur now requires to succeed a minigame, instead of an alignment check.
  

Class Changes

• Doppelganger: Got a completely new ability. In each spawn room they can now pick a form to transform to. At the moment you can unlock up to 16 forms of the basic roster of classes. More might follow in the future. Doppelganger's base stats also have been buffed, now starting with 2 hearts like all the other classes and now also starting with 2 dexterity, 2 strength and 2 intelligence instead of 1, 1 and 1.
  
• Monk: Now only consumes Ki-Charges if you hit an enemy with a primary attack shortly after dashing. Previously consumed them on dash. Now also recovers all your stamina points when consuming your Ki-Charges.
  
• Deprived: Has a new ability: "Gain 10% increased stats from strength, dexterity and intelligence per curse on you.". Previously made it so cursed rewards (doors) upgrade whenever possible, but that feature has been faded into the main game.
  
• Hero: Now gains +1 luck at level 2, 4 and 6. Previously gained +1 luck per good alignment point you had.
  RUBYDEV NOTE: I came to the conclusion it is weird that the first class a new player plays throws the alignment mechanic at them. Especially because alignment really only gets relevant in maybe 10 hours from that point. New hero is a bit weaker but also more straight forward. But don't worry I have a plan for the future to give back some power to the Hero.
  
• Warrior: Ability has been reverted to what it was before the 0.2.0 update. It now grants 10% increased attack speed per heart container you have. Previously it granted 10% more attack speed per weapon upgrade level.
  RUBYDEV NOTE: When 0.2.0 came out, players didn't have a lot of ways to invest into heart containers, so the old ability was kind of useless. The 0.2.1 patch reintroduced a lot of ways to get hearts though. I reverted the ability because I think we all liked it better. It definitely makes warrior a lot stronger in the early game.
  
• Soldier: The ability now works with all 2-handed weapons, instead of all melee weapons.
  
• Bard: The old ability has been scrapped completely. New ability is that bard now scales repeat damage twice with the intelligence and dexterity scaling of their weapon. This synergizes with the new sound ailment Echo, which counts as repeat damage. Again: Bard will get back some of the fun and flexibility of the old ability in a future patch.
  

Equipment Changes

• NEW accessory: Lilith's Legacy
  
• White Robe: Now doubles the effect of shrine blessings. Previously made shrine effects permanent.
  
• Chance Ring: Attunement requirement increased from 4 to 5.

• Elven Gloves: Attunement increased from 2 to 3. Now grant 20% increased attack speed while not having taken damage for at least 5 rooms. Previously granted 20% increased attack speed while having a shrine effect.
  
• Elven Set Bonus: Now makes Evades refresh after completing 1 combat encounter without taking damage or evading instead of 5. Previously made a guaranteed shrine appear on the start of each floor.
  
• Hero Cape: Now grants 10% increased damage per point of luck you have, up to 30%.
  
• Turtle Armor: Now +10 equip load heavier.
  
• Hand of Blood: Has new effect: Now makes %-modifiers to attack speed also affect bleed tick rate.

• Dragonscale Shield: Effect fixed, didn't work before. Now grants melee damage, previously melee boss damage.
  
• Flame Shield: Threshold for "nearby" increased, from 5 units to 10 units. Also 10 equip load lighter.
  
• Gladiator Shield: Now only 1 block, but added -1 to global tally threshold. Also 10 equip load lighter.
  
• Spiked Shield: DMG bonus reduced from 75 to 125 to 50 to 115.
  
• Balrog Heart: Now only grants 3 hearts but now also grants 20% increased burn damage per heart container.
  
• Demon Shell: Now +10 equip load heavier. Now only grants 2 armor but now also grants 5 to 50 dark damage per armor you have.
  
• Illusionary Cloak: Added a new effect which makes it so Evades count towards total amount of Soul Hearts for the purpose of effects that scale with amount of Soul Hearts.
  
• Mithril Coat: Now only grants 1 armor, but now has additional effect which refreshes your Death Defies every room.
  

Weapon Changes

• Weapon damage scaling has been widened a bit. (Check screenshots below for a before and after.) All weapons with an E scaling as their highest scaling have been compensated with 5% to 10% more base weapon damage. All weapons with an A scaling as their highest scaling have had their base damage reduced by roughly 10%. All weapons with a S scaling as their highest scaling have had their base damage reduced by roughly 25%. It's now a bit more important to scale weapons correctly and weapon scaling tiers matter a bit more.
  
• Additionally there is a new scaling soft cap. At 10 + Level * 5 points of investment in one attribute, every point beyond that will only increase damage by half of what it did before the threshold.
  
• Spellbooks: All Spellbook weapons now summon totems instead of attacking themselves. Similar to how the Volcanic Codex worked already. Base damage, scaling and attack speed values have been adjusted for this change.
  
  
  
  • Arcane Torrent Tome: Now summons totems.
    
  • Banshee Tome: Now summons totems.
    
  • Bombardment Tome: Now summons totems.

  • Volcanic Codex: Improved attack range.
    
  
  
• All attacks from weapons that deal sound damage, primarily from instrument weapons, have been nerfed by roughly 40% damage. This might seem a lot but this compensates for the new Echo ailment damage.
  
• Elven Bow: Now gains 10% more attack speed per Evade you have. Previously gained 50% more attack speed while having a shrine effect. Doesn't drain mana anymore.
  
• Increased the maximum range of all bible and flail spinners by roughly 1 unit. This is usually more than 10% range increase.
  
• Unholy Bible: Base damage has been reduced but now spins 3 bibles, up from 2.
  
• Matrix Bible: Base damage of spinner has been increased by 15%.
  
• Eldritch Bible: Base damage of spinner and tentacle attack has been increased by 15%.
  
• Doomerang: Base damage has been increased by 25% and attack speed has been increased from 2 APS to 2.5 APS.

• Nyan Cannon: Base damage increased by 15%.

• Railgun: Base damage of both primary and secondary attack reduced by 10%.
  
• Fractal Glaive: Base damage from main projectile reduced by 30%. The beam width and duration has also been reduced to make it a bit easier on the eyes. (Check bug fixes for a hidden buff to this weapon.)
  
• Twin Daggers: New effect: This weapon has double critical hit chance. Previously made lucky hits roll +1 additional time for critical hits.
  
• Hunting Knife: Now gains +100% critical hit chance when triggering a mark. Doesn't inflict bleed anymore.
  
• Imp Dagger: Critical hit damage per evil increased to 100%, up from 75%.
  
• Mail Breaker: Now inflicts all stacks of Armor Break at once.
  
• Ninja Dagger: Critical hit damage from dexterity doubled, from 2.5% per to 5% per.
  
• Soul Thief Dagger: Now gains +10% critical hit damage per Soul, up from 5%.
  
• Twin Karambits: Now grant Swiftness on critical hit, instead of on kill.
  
• Cross Glaive: Base damage reduced by 30%.
  
• Ivy Scroll: Base damage reduced by 30%.
  
• Piranha Gun: Base damage reduced by 15%.

• Phantasm: Base damage reduced by 10%.
  
• Saxophone: New effect: This weapon has double lucky hit chance. Previously guaranteed lucky hits against targets affected by an emotion debuff. (And the effect didn't even work...)
  

Trait Changes

• Pocket Magic: Now specifies that it doesn't work with weapons that summon totems.
  
• Polarity Shift: (Cyborg Specific Trait) Now works works more similar to the Paw Gloves. Instead of reversing what is a lucky hit to a cursed hit and vice versa, it now makes it so that lucky hits are also cursed hits and vice versa.
  
• Tempest Kick: Now happens on the tally of 10 primary melee attacks. Now recovers 1 stamina point instead of triggering your on dash effects.
  
• Swagger: Now only triggers you on dash effects on the tally of 10 primary attacks. The guaranteed critical hit is still on the tally of 5 primary attacks.
  
• Alacrity: Reworded the description slightly.
  
• Hunter's Patience: Hunter's Mark now applies 20 stacks, up from 10.

Fixes

• Fixed that totems could target invincible, invulnerable and invisible enemies.

• Fixed that the meta perk "Drinking On The Dot" could prevent the other meta perk "Farewell Drink" from spawning the tavern in floor 10.
  
• Fixed that tipsiness said "loose" instead of "lose".
  
• Fixed that Gloom was bugged. It added +0.25 damage taken from cursed hits, instead of increasing damage taken from cursed hits by 25% per stack. This explains why it felt so lackluster and for that reason it also has been changed to instead grant 10% more damage taken from cursed hits per stack now.
  
• Added some missing tooltips to the Star Lantern offhand.
  
• Fixed that Inferno Potion had the wrong buff icon.

• Fixed that the reward description of Blood Altars and Blood Chests would show the incorrect heart icon.
  
• Fixed that the Bat Wings helmet was giving +0.1 repeat damage, instead of correctly 100% increased repeat damage.
  

And because people frequently reach out to me to ask how they can support me and the game even further, here's my friendly reminder that leaving a positive review is the best way to support any game on Steam.
Don't be shy, you don't have to be a lyrical genius! Steam reviews are really just like and dislike buttons but for games.

Patch Notes

Fixes

• Fixed that the meta perk Magnum Opus applied a guaranteed negative modifier instead of the promised legendary modifier.
  
• Fixed the issue that Glass Cannon trait could be randomly rolled with Obsidian Dice.
  
• Fixed a bug where being judged as unworthy disabled interaction with the ichor bowl.
  
• Fixed a bug that the statues in the staircase rooms always talked to you even after you have progressed beyond floor 11 once already.
  
• Fixed a bug with aura infliction effectiveness, making traits like Unforgiving not scale them correctly.
  
• Fixed an issue where the verb forms of taunt, charm, fear, and intimidate were not highlighted as key tags. ("E.g.: fears, intimidates, charms, taunts)
  
• Fixed a bug where the green highlights caused by the [[]] brackets would not be resolved in dialogue messages.
  
• Fixed an issue where not all shops in the black market were correctly rerolled and restocked when staying overnight at the tavern.
  
• Fixed a bug with bending projectile, such as attacks from axes. This often lead to axes aiming into odd directions, especially while playing without mouse.
  
• Attempted to fix a bug where when a boss reward was guaranteed, there was a chance that both doors lead to that same boss reward. E.g.: guaranteed companion showing twice on floor 1 boss.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you had Mystical Belt or been playing as the Mystic, some non-charm items would sometimes randomly show double value of stats in description, but only once.
  
• Fixed a lot of random typos. (Not nearly enough though,...)
  
• Fixed a bug where Death could become invincible or get invisible lasers after transitioning to phase 2.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could get softlocked if you killed the left King's Guard boss too quickly before their dialogue would finish.
  
• Fixed that when using the double mimics perk, only one mimic would be active. Now both mimics will attack you.
  
• Fixed that mimics would always appear on the right door making them too predictable.
  
• Fixed that the Leviathan Axe would not spawn the room if worn in weapon swap slot.
  
• Fixed a bug where the cinder modifier Conqueror's Will would only subdue you but not your companions.
  
• Fixed that increased effect of stats, e.g.: from Mystic would double the mana drain gained from enchantments. Increased effect of mana drain now applies in inverse, reducing the mana drain instead.
  
• Fixed that Mystic was bugged, it only showed double the stat value on weapon enchantments but didn't actually double the stats you gained from it. (At least not always. Might still be a bit buggy...)
  
• Fixed an issue where Corruption would cap out at 51 stacks. It now caps out at 100 stacks.
  

General Changes

• Christmas is over.
  
• New reward: Golden Cherries: Grant 10% increased trigger damage. Appear on floor 11 and floor 12.
  
• New reward: Golden Croissant: Grants 10% increased companion damage. Appears on floor 11 and floor 12.
  
• Golden Steak has been buffed, from granting 5% increased damage with non crits, to 10%.
  
• New ailment: Nature damage now by default applies Nettles, which is an ailment that increases effect of debuffs.
  
• Nature damage is now considered elemental damage.
  
• Mana power has shifted. Each point now grants 10% more damage, previously 20% but intelligence now grants 2.5% increased stats granted by mana, previously mana regeneration. Base mana regeneration has been increased by 25%, from 1.5 mana per second, to 2 mana per second, to compensate. Mana grew a bit out of control after giving more and more access to mana, e.g.: the bonfire. There is a lot of new ways to get non magic weapons to drain mana in this patch, and so that it doesn't take overhand mana now takes an investment to get back to previous state. At 40 intelligence, mana is the same as before, but you have a little bit less mana regeneration. Mana regeneration items have been buffed. (See below.) If you get above 40 intelligence, or make use of traits like Keen Mind, mana is even better than before. Also it is worth to mention that intelligence now scales additional effects from mana, e.g: the trait Dreamer. Overall mana is a lot worse if you aren't invested into it but better than before if you go all-in. More changes (new trait, new items,...) are also coming to support mana even further.
  
• Confusion now increases effect of all debuffs, not just emotion debuffs.
  
• Soul Pickups are now slightly attracted to the player.
  
• Flasks now take 2 seconds to drink, up from 1.5 seconds. I think it was a bit too easy to flask mid-combat and I want to entice you to try out the drink speed meta perk.
  
• Companions now scale to up to x5 damage, previously x4 at max level.
  
• Companions can catch up to enemies about 30% faster. Probably still too slow to catch enemies that teleport or charge a lot, but it's a step in the right direction.
  

Item Changes

• New consumable: Maple Pine Resin: Grants a nature damage infusion.
  
• New consumable: Fairy Pine Resin: Grants a mana drain buff to your weapon.

• Mana Orb: Now generates 1 mana on completing rotation, up from 0.5 mana.
  
• Mind Charm: Now grants 35% increased mana regeneration, up from 25%.
  
• Sorcerer Cloak: Now grants 45% increased mana regeneration, up from 35%.
  
• Magus Cap: Now grants 35% increased mana regeneration, up from 25%.
  
• Radio (Gift): Damage has been doubled.
  
• Replenishing Repair Powder (Gift): Replenishes slightly quicker.
  
• Soul Scarf (Gift): Only grants a Soul Heart when you recover a heart with it now.
  
• Poison Filled Jar (Gift): Instead of granting a poison infusion, now applies the Poisoned enchantment modifier to your weapon up to 3 times.
  
• Tent (Gift): Is now a charm and also recovers 2 hearts on entering a new floor, previously 1 heart.
  
• Mana Elixir (Gift): Now grants a special mana potion buff that grants 20% mana drain refund, previously 15%.

Other Gift Changes

• Bomb Pouch: Bomb amount reduced from 6 to 5 bombs.
  

Room Changes

• New Tavern NPC: The Princess. She sells Fairy Tale Branches. She has a preference for Good aligned characters but doesn't grant any alignment herself (for now).
  
• Storm in a Bottle cost in tavern reduced. Now 30G, previously 50G.
  
• Nurse in tavern can only heal and refill flasks once per tavern visit.
  
• The Black Market entrance in the tavern is now locked again, requiring another key, after you stay overnight. (The tavernkeep makes sure to keep that stuff under lock, sorry!)
  
• Leviathan Room: All options now cost 5 souls instead of 10 souls.
  

Meta Perk Changes

• New Perk: Pandoras Boxes: Opening any treasure chest permanently grants +2.5% magic find, up to a maximum of 25%. (Replaces "Giving Up" and made legendary weapons 15% rarer.)
  
• Bulk Seller: Now capped at +10 Gold. Also only grants +1 Gold per consecutive item, instead of +2.
  
• Mixed Bag: Now also reduces the price by 25% when swapping the currency.
  
• Odyssey: Epic weapons now are 25% more common, previously 30%.
  
• Worth of a Soul: Upgrading weapons now costs 5 souls at blacksmiths, instead of 10 souls.
  

Weapon Enchantment Changes

• Unstoppable modifier, which increases "not very effective multiplier" is now a normal enchant and not a legendary enchantment anymore. (This is kind of a buff because the modifier wasn't that great and now that Magnum Opus perk is fixed, you are more likely to roll an actually good legendary modifier.)
  
• New legendary enchantment: Sniper's: +20% critical hit chance
  
• New legendary enchantment: Merciless: +75% critical hit multiplier
  

Trait Changes

• Spellblade: Now works with ALL melee weapons, previously just swords.
  

Enemy Changes

• Possessed weapons health and armor has been roughly halved, especially in the early game.
  
• Increased health and armor of all mimics. For some more than 50% more health and armor.
  

What's missing?

• Add some more companions.
  
• Add some new set items.
  
• Add new traits and buff some bad traits.
  
• Buff non shield offhand items.
  
• Go over some items that are really underwhelming and buff them.
  
• Fix more bugs.
  

• Fixed bug with the Hero Sword "Flex" materials not appearing correctly. (I hope it's finally fixed now.)
  
• In the previous hotfix a bug was fixed which caused a softlock when trying to upgrade a weapon at a blacksmith that cost souls while not having any souls.
  

Patch Highlights

Bonfire Favours

Developer Thoughts: A big goal in bringing back stat upgrades to your character was to present it in transparent way and to make the system more flexible. The new system is powerful, flexible, brings interesting changes and choices to veteran players and most importantly it is: simple. The 0.2.0 update made the game quite a bit more complex and this patch introduces a bunch of simple but effective changes to make you feel a little bit more at home from the start, even without knowing and utilizing all the new funky mechanics.
It costs 30 Souls to gain a heart container, a point of stamina or a point of mana. As every boss drops 10 Souls this new system basically equals to the old system, just more flexible. You now can get 3 stat upgrades before floor 10 and if are lucky you might even be able to sneak in a 4th one from time to time. Players further in the game might note though that you need some Souls to go beyond floor 11, for that reason the prices of alignment shops have been reduced a bit. So even when you are deep into the game, you still get to gain at least 2 or 3 powerups.

Over 30 New Items

Developer Thoughts: I think it is important that players are regularly offered strong defensive options. Not every item has to be a wall of text with intricate effects. It is fine when some items are just there to bolster survivability or damage.

Developer Thoughts: Having a lot of equip load and equipping some heavy but strong item feels good on a strength character but defensive options for low equip load characters often were lacking. There is a slew of new defensive charms that aid you in your quest to survive on generally squishier builds.

Blacksmith Buffs

Developer Thoughts: Weapon upgrades previously felt very underwhelming. Again, while it is cool and all that the game allows for more funky combinations and interactions to make a strong character, I find it very important, especially for new players, that fallback mechanics exist and that they feel impactful. When lacking damage it makes intuitive sense that a player might think to upgrade their weapon and now you should be able to feel the weapon upgrades.

Melee Buffs

• All one-handed sword base DMG has been increased by 10% to 30% across the board.
  
• All mace base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20% across the board.
  
• All axe base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20%. Twin Axes, Winged Axes and Berserker Axes have been buffed by up to 30% to account for their odd flight behaviors.
  
• All daggers base DMG has been increased by 10% to 20% across the board.
  
• All polearms and scythes base DMG has been increased by 10% across the board.
  

Stamina Availability

Developer Thoughts: While you can get a stamina point from the bonfire, I also wanted to add new additional ways to gain stamina. The game throws a lot at you and it is important that as a player you feel like you stand a fighting chance.

• Loss Leader: Makes blacksmith prices be 10/15/20/25,... instead of 10/20/30/40,... (Previously was too much of a downside.)
  
• Worth of a Soul: Now makes weapon upgrades at blacksmiths cost 10 Souls, previously 20. (With the new Soul economy this might need even more changes in the future.)
  
• Loyalty: The upgrade to level 4 now doesn't increase the price. (But you have to pick either Loss Leader or Worth of a Soul before, so the 4th upgrade by default costs 25 gold or 10 souls.)

Bug Fixes

What's next?

TLDR:

• Heart-, Stamina- and Mana power ups are back.
  
• Lots of new defensive items, especially for melee characters but also for low equip load characters. (E.g.: new defensive charms)
  
• Upgrading weapons has been massively buffed.
  
• Base DMG of a lot of melee weapons has been buffed.
  
• Stamina is more widespread available in the game.
  

• Fixed a bug where projectiles from your own companions could hit you (for a lot of damage), if the companion despawned while their projectiles were mid-air. (Sometimes experienced on Hydra Wand, Ninja, ...)
  

• Fixed a massive oversight. Previously only your unspent Souls have been correctly converted into Mastery EXP. Now also your spent Souls contribute to that value. This means if you unlocked and spent Souls in the previous version you now already levelled up in mastery level. Please note that your playtime will not match because before the save state rework mid 2023 the game didn't track the times of your runs.
  
• Fixed that some class unlocks might have disappeared (Wizard, Mystic, ...) because their unlock conditions changed. The game now checks if you have ever done a run on these classes before, and if yes, they will be unlocked for you.
  
• Cinder modifiers are now only active when they actually have been unlocked. Previously some players would be stuck on a certain cinder level due to the unlock requirements for cinder modifiers changing.
  
• Additionally, the unlock requirements for cinder have been changed from defeating Death at Cinder 4/8/12 to 3/6/9.
  
• Fixed that a few descriptions in the game gave the same value instead of multiple different values. E.g.: Puncture said "5 to 5 damage" and Rainbow Staff listed the same damage number 4 times.
  
• Fixed that the "copy save slot" functionality on the beta branch of the game was broken.
