Patch Notes

I have been watching videos of and playing games "similar" to Tiny Rogues. (Shoutouts to Brotato and Neophyte)

With the dice rework I want to promote a little bit of a more deterministic way to play Tiny Rogues.
I feel like other games in this genre (or similar genres) often allow a lot of rerolling of rewards, rooms, shops and so on. The availability of these RNG manipulation methods makes players go into a run with a plan and then they try to execute on that plan. (for example, trying out a certain build)

Tiny Rogue is and will always be really just more about going with the flow but I hope increasing dice availability will at least provide a little bit more agency.

Also dice can be used to compensate for bad RNG. Finding only intelligence rewards on your strength build? Try Red Dice!

New features

• Access the Dice Bag in the inventory to use dice.
  
• Reworked dice. They aren't consumable items anymore but now stored in the dice bag.
  
• The reward that granted a singular dice now grants multiple dice.
  
• Red Dice can now reroll the tavern, event rooms, shops, armories, blacksmiths and other special rooms. (Important: these special rooms are not part of the room reward table, so if you reroll one you can not roll into another special room.)
  

Class Changes

• Buffed gold amount from Bandit's passive ability.
  
• Wizard passive ability slightly nerfed.
  
• Song Of Focus of Bard got buffed.
  

Other Balance Changes

• Static Blows base damage and scaling changed.
  
• Shield Bash base damage and scaling changed.
  
• Grenadier base damage and scaling changed.
  
• Sacramental Bread now only grants +2 Absolution.
  
• Some starter equipment of classes has been flagged to be exclusive now and cannot appear as a random spawn during a run anymore.
  
• Increased the defense value granted to enemies by Shielding Enchanted.
  

Fixes

• Fixed that Sniper Bow had no effect.
  
• Tried to fix again that shrines can be bombed during combat.
  
• Fixed Storm in a Bottle.
  
• Fixed that Doppelganger rotation locking didn't work.
  
• Fixed the Green Wool hoodie and fixed the description to reflect the updated effect.
  
• Blessings now have "ranks" instead of "levels" for less confusing wording of their effects.

Patch Notes

These patch notes will be a bit short and rough because I want to go into the weekend now but I also don't want to let down the community and finally start testing on this new patch!

This patch is also one of the most untested patches we have had yet. So beware!

General Changes

• As a lot of game code has been refactored, the quick Restart button should now work again.
  
• New Health Bar HUD
  
  
  
  • Shows health values between 1/2 heart and full heart.
    
  • Shows Evade and Block on the bar.
    
  
  
• New HUD element: Lethal Bar. Shows when you are on lethal and gives you information about Death Defies and Revives.
  
• Health items have been reworked. Health is now saved on the item, similar to how armor items worked before.
  
• New Save System: Makes backups and allows selecting a save slot. The new save system tries to convert as much of your old save state as possible to the new save state type. This conversion process happens upon first starting the game.
  
• After the introduction of the Pawn Shop in the last updates, Gold has been a bit too readily available. The sell values of items have been reduced slightly, making it a bit less desirable to sell each and every Common and Uncommon item you find.
  
• Prices at Soul Shops have been reduced greatly.
  
• I tried to make it so that Soul Shops have a blue sign instead of the default shop sign. Since I did that change I have not encountered this sign yet, so it might not have worked. (Don't ask me why.) But it would be nice to know if it did work.
  
• Dark damage type is now associated with the Corruption status effect. Corruption increases damage taken by 1% but can only be inflicted once per second.
  
• Heart Containers are more common as boss room reward.
  
• In the past some proccs that would deal damage (usually lightning strike or chain lightnings) would sometimes scale with player level and sometimes not. I've tried to improve consistency and I am pretty sure that every procc in the game now scales with player level. This makes some proccs just more viable late game.
  

Class Changes

For the purpose of testing, the new classes are immediately unlocked on the PTR but later on they will have to be unlocked by completing some objective.

• New class: Bard
  
• New class: Mystic
  
• New class: Soldier
  
• New class: Wizard
  

Combat Changes

• Repair Powder cannot be used during combat anymore. (Lore reason, using Repair Powder is a careful process of applying the powder to broken pieces of equipment. You don't have the time to do that during combat. Also stacking repair powder is overpowered.)
  
• Enemies now have a new stat: Defense. Defense reduces damage taken.
  
• Right now there is no way to really find out which enemies have more defense. You can maybe infer it a little bit from the enemy type, e.g.: Crabs have a lot of defense.
  Some enemies have gotten slightly tankier but in general all defense additions have been compensated for by nerfing health value of the enemy.
  
• Minimum value of Defense is 0 and can't go below 0.
  
• Maximum value of Defense is 75 (reduces damage by 75%) and can't go above 75.
  
• New stat: Defense Penetration, allows you to ignore part of enemies defense.
  
• The "Defense Break" status effect now actually halves enemy defense.
  
• The enemy enchantments that grant damage reduction will now grant the enemy defense instead. So you can counteract these mechanics better by using Defense Break or Defense Penetration.
  
• Airstrike Enchanted frequency nerfed.
  
• Arcane Enchanted now has an initial delay before spawning beams.
  
• Proximity Defense Enchanted uptime nerfed.
  

Health, Poison and Healing Changes

• You now have a Health Flask. By default hold V to drink a Health Flask.
  
• Health Fountains now fill all your Health Flasks, recover all your health and cure Poison status.
  
• The Regeneration Blessing has been reworked to grant an additional Health Flask.
  
• Poison now lasts longer but doesn't damage you anymore. Instead it halves the effect of your Health Flask.
  
• Antidote Potion is not a potion anymore, it is now just "Antidote".
  
• Health Potions have been removed from the game.
  
• Price for healing from the Nurse has been increased from 5G to 10G. (To compensate for more healing being available through the flask.)
  

Equipment Changes

• I refactored in the game code how equipment effects work. While doing this some equipment effects also changed. If I remember correctly this includes changes to the 3 Hoodie body armors. Some item rarities have also been shifted around.
  Please tell me if you find any equipment items that seemingly have no effect, I might have forgotten to update the item.
  
• Tried to fix the effect of Chance's Avarice as it was quite buggy before.
  
• Added some new equipment items for each of the new classes.
  
• The Amazon Bracelet and the Gladiator Helmet now grant Defense Penetration instead.
  
• Buffed: Elusive Boots, Goliath Greaves, Lightning Boots
  

Weapon Changes

• Added 2 new polarms: Bardiche and Partizan
  
• Added 1 new staff: Oak Staff (Wizard Starter)
  
• Added 1 new 1h sword: Estoc (Mystic Starter)
  
• Harp is now a 2h instrument, previously 1H wand.
  
• Added 1 new 2h instrument: Fey Lute (Bard Starter)
  
• Archon Scepter got a new effect.
  
• Mana Scepter got a new effect.
  
• All Polearms now inflict Defense Break.
  
• Many Dark damage type weapons now inflict Corruption.
  
• Kugelblitz Wand and Frozen Orb Wand have been nerfed.
  
• Flails now start with a base amount of defense penetration. (likely that this gets changed but let's see how it works out)
  
• Buffed: Bone Wand, Tornado Wand, Meteor Scroll, Disintegration Scepter, Spirit Wand, Moonshine Greatsword, Stormbreaker, Naginata, Shadowsneak Dagger
  

Known Bugs:

• The offhand starter item of the Mystic is currently bugged and doesn't work.
  

Changes not in this patch yet:

• Tavern rerolling is not fixed yet.
  
• Boozer / Tipsiness rework is not implemented yet.
  
• Curse changes are not in yet.
  
• No changes to cinder yet.
  
• It is planned that all classes other than Doppelganger will now be labeled as basic classes. I have not updated the achievements yet to consider this.
  
• Upcoming new starter gifts are not in yet.
  
• Character panel improvements and additions are not in yet.
  
• Keeping a close eye on Cleric passive as it might be a bit useless with the Health Flask now.
  
• Dice rework is not in yet. Basically I plan on combining all dice effects into 1 type of dice to enable a more deterministic style of building your character.
  
• There are some work in progress improvements to Gamepad controls.
  
• I am looking to split CRT options into 2 sliders.
  
• There is no option yet to turn off the Lethal Bar.
  
• If I have time I want to add new events to Floor 10 in next patch.

When Tiny Rogues released in September I was still working my part-time job. I am incredibly grateful that the success of the game enabled me to quit my job and to become a full time developer. I can not emphasize this enough. I've been full time developing Tiny Rogues since late November and I think the last patch truly showed what I am capable of in a small amount of time when I am able to fully invest my time into this project. The last updates patch notes almost didn't fit because Steam would limit the amount of characters I could type. I am really proud of the Christmas update and I think the game is in it's best state ever. I am having so much fun playing the game myself. I even reset my save state and am currently working on unlocking all achievements again. I even beat Cinder 16 which I didn't think I would be able to do.

The Present

1. Difficulty: A lot of players wished for Tiny Rogues to be more difficult. I promised a solution to this problem with the Cinder system. The Cinder system introduced malleable difficulty to Tiny Rogues. You can toggle up to 16 different modifiers. I evaluated ideas for difficulty modifiers in a community survey beforehand and I tried to add interesting and challenging modifiers that aren't just "Increased enemy health" and "Increased enemy damage". A few instances of those type of modifiers can still be found but in general I think we did a pretty good job at coming up with unique and interesting difficulty modifiers for the game. As of right now there is no intrinsic motivation (e.g.: souls, unlocks, rewards, ...) to play at higher difficulties. Even if you are not a fan of increased difficulty I can recommend you to check out some of the modifiers and challenge yourself as the mayhem introduced by turning on a bunch of modifiers is very funny to experience at least once.
   
2. Choice: I wanted to improve choices in Tiny Rogues across the board. So I reworked Blood Chests, Blood Shrines, Cursed Shrines, a lot of traits and I did a massive weapon balance overhaul. Every patch I try to make choices matter more. That is why I still care about game balance a lot even if the game is "just" a non-competitive single-player game.
   
3. Loot: Before the last update I have noticed the RPG part of the game came a bit short. In order to amp up the RPG-feeling of Tiny Rogues I added over 30 new equipment items, including powerful legendary and epic items. I also reworked ton of already existing equipment items to make them feel more enticing to use.
   By now, equipment and weapons also reveal their rarity tier to you. All of these changes in the last patch already have had a big impact on strengthening the RPG aspect of Tiny Rogues. Funnily enough, I am not even close to being done yet.
   

The Future

On this note, why is Tiny Rogues still in early access?

To me the reason is simple. When I started working on Tiny Rogues I had a plan for the game. I had a goal in terms of floors, bosses and general content I want the game to have. Tiny Rogues is at like 20% of the final amount of content I have planned for the game! So in my mind it is not done at all.

Ever since the game released players have been asking how to open these:

I personally really want to open both at the same time but we'll see how development speed goes.

Last but not least, I have a little teaser for you:

Patch Notes

Changes

• Doppelganger changed yet again.
  

  I ran into a problem with Doppelganger. There were basically 3 kinds of players expecting different things from the class. We got casual players that like Doppel to randomly rotate through classes to experience different powerful classes. We got achievement hunters would want to complete the achievement, defeat Death with every class and thus wouldn't appreciate randomness at all. And we got speedrunners or min-maxers that want to only play 1 type of Doppelganger and don't want any rotation to happen. I think I found a solution for all 3.

  
  Doppelganger will now copy another class each time you defeat Death (with any class). This rotation is not random so if you are going for the achievement, 10 Doppelganger wins in a row will give it to you.
  I added a new option to the option menu which enables you to lock Doppelganger, while locked the copied class won't change anymore.
  
• In 0.1.9a the speedrun mode has been removed. I'll be working on bringing back the quick restart button asap.
