Gotcha!

0.1.6

• New reworked meta progression system! Almost all Blessings will have new effects and soul economy and cost will be adjusted. (The game's design philosophy of allowing skilled players to beat the game without any investment into meta progression will stay. This change affects players that enjoy or require meta progression, e.g.: people who want to feel super powerful and people who need a little bit of help to beat the game.)
  
• A lot of bug fixes. Basically 100% of major bugs and 80% of minor bugs found in 0.1.5 should be fixed.
  
• New changes to Doppelganger's passive ability.
  
• Slight adjustments of enemy difficulty throughout the game. You can expect just some very slight tweaking of projectile speeds, projectile amounts, enemy movement speed and enemy amount. This will also affect some bosses.
  
• A rework to how bosses go into enrage.
  
• Changes to make Soul Pylon spawning more consistent.
  
• There is also going to be a new change that make Mega Death's enrage phase more punishing, that allows me to reduce the health of Mega Death but keeping the fight very challenging. Some timings of the Mega Death fight will be tweaked to make the fight a fairer and better telegraphed in some instances. In some other instances the fight was too easy and it will be made a bit harder. (for example, the beams will rotate faster)
  

0.1.7

• A new system called "Cinder" that allows players to apply modifiers to the game to make it more difficult. It will add 20 unique difficulty modifiers that can be applied to make the game more challenging and punishing.
  
• A new system that acts as a sort of single-player ladder or streaking system which ties in closely with the Cinder system.
  
• At this point "Hardcore" mode will be removed and moved into the Cinder system as a modifier.
  
• I will look into implementing cloud saves in this patch.
  
• More bug fixes
  
• More balance changes
  

0.1.8

• Official controller (gamepad) support
  
• More bug fixes
  
• More balance changes
  
• If time allows it, maybe a few more traits, equipment items and new event rooms
  

After 0.1.8

Gotcha again!

• I will keep PTR updates short and unprecise.
  
• PTR will change very often, more often than the "default" version of the game.
  
• I'll only post PTR updates when a lot of changes come to PTR beta branch. Small hot fixes might not even be mentioned.
  
• Please be aware, PTR is literally a testing / beta branch, it can very well happen that runs will completely break, you get stuck or the game crashes. Be aware of this if you record video content on PTR.
  
• In case of critical bugs, while I will try to fix PTR as soon as possible, PTR is not as high on priority for me as default branch, so it might take a while to get a fix. My plan is for the default version of the game to be as stable as possible.
  
• All changes are subject to change, on the PTR even more than on the default version of the game.
  

• Almost all passive skills (meta progression) "Blessings" have been reworked and their prices have been adjusted
  
• Applied an experimental change to armory rooms which should give you more weapons with scaling that you actually want
  
• Soul Pylons now always spawn in Floor 3, 6 and 9.
  
• Before exiting a floor with access to a soul pylon, you'll now be asked to confirm to go to the next floor.
  
• You can now scroll the status effect list. Also made the panels a bit smaller.
  
• Equipment doesn't grant immunity anymore. The items Plague Doctor Mask, Thieves Boots and Dragonscale Greaves have been changed and now have new effects.
  
• Pyromancy Flame has been nerfed, not because it is too op but because it didn't make sense when comparing the Pyromancy Flame to the Mojo offhand, which was more specific (Poison Damage VS Damage Over Time) but gave less of a damage increase. The Mojos effect has also been changed.
  
• Knight now gains 8% more damage per armor point
  
• Tipsiness is now 8% increased damage instead of 10% per stack
  
• Buffed the amount of gold obtained from Petrified Hoards and Golden Treasure Chests
  
• Reworded infusion effect consumables to make it more obvious they will work for multiple weapons and are not just applied to 1 weapon.
  
• Silver Serpent Ring has a new effect.
  
• Purging Stones now don't recover health anymore when used.
  
• Soul Pickups now are animated slightly and got a particle effect to be more noticeable.
  
• Energy Shrines now provide +1 stamina instead of faster recovery speed
  
• Soul Pylon health scales a bit differently now (more appropriate health for each level they appear in)
  
• Death has slightly slightly less health
  
• Soul Pylons now don't attack immediately when entering the room
  
• The bone projectiles of the mummy enemies in floor 5 are now bigger and easier to spot.
  
• Warrior now gets 25% more melee attack speed up from 20% more
  
• New resolution option for 1680x1050
  
• Made it so the Inferior modifier appears less often
  
• The Harp weapon was changed, it previously had 2 APS but repeated 2 times, now it has 4 APS but doesn't repeat anymore. This change makes the Harp a lot nicer on the ears.
  
• Deck Of Cards, Enchanted Bow, Frostbane, Laser Gun, Laser Rifle, Salamandra and Soul Thief Dagger now deal "Magical" damage type and will benefit and use Mana
  
• The damage type "Magic" was renamed to "Magical" to avoid confusing with the weapon type "Magic"
  
• Updated descriptions of Cluckeye Bow, Flame Treads, Horn Helmet, Kitsune Mask and Top Hat to give players more numbers
  
• The dexterity trait "Cull The Weak" now gives 10% more damage dealt per status effect on enemy instead of 25% more damage dealt if at least one status effect is on enemy
  
• HEAVILY adjusted the Soul Economy. All bosses now drop more souls, especially early on.
  
• The "XP bar" now is a "Lvl Bar"
  
• The damage bonus gained from upgrading the weapon at the blacksmith is now slightly affected by the hidden tier system for weapons. This means that if you upgrade a weapon early on it might be just a little bit stronger for longer.
  
• Buffed "Lethality" from 100% critical hit multiplier to 125%. Crit was a bit weak after I nerfed the amount of Luck rewards you find from bosses.
  
• Diamond Ring is back from an OCD inducing journey and now grants 10% crit chance again up from 8%
  
• Most daggers have been buffed
  
• Charon has raised his prices and now charges more souls for items
  
• All scepters have been buffed
  
• In Mega Death's beam phase, the beams now rotate faster.
  
• Mega Death has a little bit less health.
  
• Mega Death now will wait just slightly longer before teleporting into the middle when transitioning into the "Storm Of Souls" attack. The indicator for this teleport has also been increased in size.
  
• Spore Flail and Sun Vortex flails have been buffed
  
• Zweihander has been buffed and now hits twice
  
• "Sword and Board" is now a dexterity trait, the damage of the shield bash attack has been increased by a lot
  
• The Skull Ring is now more common
  
• Butcher Cleaver has been nerfed, it accidentally dodged a nerf after the latest change to bleed where bleed was buffed to deal double damage
  
• The Amethyst Ring is now unlocked by default, meaning in the first run ever, you'll be able to take 2 hits before you die, not only 1
  
• The Life Drain Scepter and the Lifehunt Scythe have been changed, they don't recover health anymore but now have a chance to spawn healing pickup on kill
  
• Glass Cannon now makes it so you take +1 heart of DMG instead of double damage.
  
• Ethereal dice now cannot drop when at MAX traits
  
• You now have a little more time to dodge "Storm Enchanted" lightning strikes.
  
• Health recovery rewards now spawn "smarter", looking at your health to determine their rarity. (means if you are low health you'll find more recovery rewards, if you are full health, you'll find less)
  
• Added a new system so now traits can dynamically display description texts. With this change, proficiency traits can now give more accurate numbers on what damage increase you can expect to get from it.
  

• Fixed a bug where equipment effects weren't always applied correctly. This should fix items like "Maiden Dress" now working more consistently. (at least it did in my own testing, but this stuff is tricky)
  
• Fixed a bug where if you revived while having "Arcane Potency" (health = 0), you were alive with 0 hearts. Reviving while on 0 maximum health now will provide soul hearts instead of normal hearts.
  
• Fixed a bug where in later floors a reward promised a helmet reward but it always resulted in a body armor reward.
  
• Fixed a major bug where you could "equip" items into the wrong slot by using drag and drop.
  
• Fixed a bug where all orbitals, for example from Inferno Potion would be destroyed upon "death", even if the player then got revived.
  
• Changed / fixed the way "health bonus" equipment recovers health to player.
  
• Kitsune Mask and Storm In A Bottle shouldn't damage bosses anymore before cut scene has ended.
  
• Fixed a bunch of typos basically everywhere. (Change does not apply to these patch notes)
  
• Fixed a bug where the character panel was not closed when entering boss room cut scenes
  
• Fixed a bug where Berserker Potion promised 15% increased attack speed but actually gave 20% increased attack speed (this is technically a nerf)
  
• Fixed a bug where the Runestone event in floor 7 didn't give a level up as it was supposed to
  
• Fixed a small wording issue where the Circlet description said "spell attack speed" instead of "magic attack speed"
  
• Fixed a bug where the game didn't save after spending souls on buying new classes

Weapon balance changes

• Fixed a bug where player area damage got destroyed on room completion, which looked a bit weird sometimes.

New features

Bug Fixes

Crash Fixes:

• Fixed a crash that happened when FPS was uncapped and some GPUs ran the game on multiple millions of FPS. Thank you Jeyk for helping me figure out what the problem was that caused the crashes.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the vsync setting would sometimes reset.
  
• Fixed a bug where "Laser Vizier" of weapons wouldn't be turned off during game over.
  
• Fixed that boulders / rocks that dropped wouldn't be destroyed on room completion.
  
• Fixed that the "Statue of the Goddess of Sin" event wouldn't subtract gold.
  
• Fixed a minor bug with the label placement in the player class inspector in character selection.
  
• Fixed an oversight were if certain events killed you, "Defy Death" and "Revives" wouldn't be triggered.
  

Patch Manifesto and Highlights:

• A lot of weapon scalings have been adjusted. The game now tries to follow a guideline, of giving "better" weapons better scalings, so that players can judge more accurately, which are "good" and which ones are "bad" weapons. This also means, some "bad" weapons that were clearly overtuned have been nerfed, but don't worry, in compensation I buffed the drop rate of "Epic" and "Legendary" weapons, so you will find better and more awesome weapons now.
  Internally, every weapon has a rarity or power tier, which goes "Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary". I tried to make it now so, that you can spot a "Rare" weapon by seeing "C - B" scalings. You can spot "Epic" weapons by "A" or "S" scalings. You can spot "Legendary" weapons by multiple "A" or "S" scalings.
  
• Daggers have been completely reworked. They now aren't "Attack 3 times" attack-speed power houses, but try to be more of a "hit slower but deal critical hits" kind of weapon. Some effects have been adjusted too.
  
• Big Swords have been reworked a bit. Most of them gained a new unique effect to stand out because all 2handed swords have quite similar behaviour.
  
• "Discharge" trait has been reworked completely.
  
• I fixed a major bug due to which, some bonuses from attributes (health, stamina, mana) wouldn't be always applied.
  
• I made a lot of improvements to performance.
  
• There has been some minor nerfs to armor items.
  
• I buffed some of the later bosses and floors just by a little bit, because they were steam-rolled too easily.
  
• A big change to how the meta progression currency "Souls" work. You now, cannot use souls, you've collected in a previous run in a next run. You will start with 0 souls. This change has been made because of a) lore reasons, your new character is a new character, it makes no sense they have access to previous souls and b) because it opens design space for me to give players more opportunities in the run to spend souls without getting too powerful just because "the bank" has been filled before, this is also important if you want to speedrun the game, you now don't rely on like - farming souls before you try to achieve a better run. This change also has the nice side effect, that people who don't like meta progression can still use souls during the run because effectively, souls are now just a 2nd type of gold.
  
• Some might have noticed, that in later floors, if weapons were offered by a shop, the weapon could already be upgraded slightly. This behavior now also applies to weapons found in treasure chests and in armory rooms and should make switching weapon late in a run a bit easier.
  
• A lot of the meta progression passive skills have been nerfed. The game became too easy too quickly. I don't want to go too much into detail, but obviously right now the game doesn't get harder, only you get stronger. After release, I will focus first and foremost on adding increased difficulty to the game, so that speccing into meta progression systems makes more sense for those who want to.
  
• There has been a bug fixed, where "Poison" would use the biggest hit applied to calculate damage for all 10 stacks. This has changed and it's now an average of all hits that applied a stack. This is a big nerf to crit poison builds which were absolutely annihilating everything. In general, playtesting showed that critical hit builds were just too powerful compared to non-crit options, so I nerfed critical hit traits and equipment slightly - it is still very powerful.

• The timer now stops when you defeat Death.

• There is now a resolution option for "3440x1440". Also, this kind of means the game supports ultra-wide now. I will keep an eye on this, would love feedback.

• Fixed a bug where "Stage Progression Conditions" for example used to unlock the "Pyromancer", "Warrior" and "Cleric" classes, would require to progress 1 floor beyond what was specified.
  
• Fixed multiple exceptions that would sometimes occur in character selection when selecting gifts.
  
• Fixed some spelling mistakes and phrasing issues of the tutorial.
  
• Adapted the "Random Dice Reward" description to say "Random Dice Item" instead of "Random Dice" in an attempt to trigger less people about grammar.
  
• Reduced volume of "Bow Attack Sound" and "Crossbow Attack Sound" to make it less obnoxious to play with fast attacking weapons.
  
• Changed the project settings so that the game now "runs in background".
  
• Fixed a major bug where souls gained recently (which are internally not "applied" yet at that point) would respawn if tabbing in and out of the game. Also added a fail-save for souls applying when finishing "flying towards the bonfire".
  
• Applied a fix to the movement behaviour of "Neptune" boss in his "bounce around arena" phase.
  
• Slightly increased the health of these bosses: Neptune, Kraken, Phoenix, Red Dragon, Cerberus, Succubus, Mind Flamer and King Ooze.
  
• Moved the camera options to the top of the "gameplay"-tab of the options menu.
  
• Reduced default value of "Camera Aim Strength" to 25%.
  
• Fixed that non-revealed and locked doors were interactable before being revealed (meaning, before room completion), this means you now only gain the information "is a door locked" or not after completing the room.
  
• Fixed indicator radius of "Storm Enchanted" enemies not being the same size as the actual damage from the lightning strikes.
  
• The version number display is now hidden while the options menu is open in the title screen.
  
• You can now close Inventory and Character Panel with ESC key. This means at first, ESC will close all menus and only Pause the game when all menus are closed, requiring now 2 key pressed to pause the game if you have the Inventory or Character Panel open.
  
• Adjusted dual-wield crossbows aim direction alignment with actual aim direction (again).
  
• Made cursed shrines less common.
  
• Tweaked the expansion speed and ease of "Cave Troll" enemy slam attack a bit.
  
• Buffed "Flying Brain" enemy, they shoot lasers more often, move faster and have more health.
  
• Reduced passive skill / blessing (meta progression) costs by a lot to make it less "grindy". Also reduce the cost of some weaker starting gifts a bit.
  
• Fixed a bug where the collection button of the "Deprived Class" wouldn't update visually when the class got unlocked
  
• Fixed a bug where the number of how many times "Death" has been defeated was not submitted to Steam to track achievement progress.
  
• Darkened the color of equipment slot background icons to make it easier to see if an item is already equipped or not.
  
• Fixed a spelling mistake in the description of "Poison Filled Jar" consumable.
  
• Fix a bug where the dialogue boxes would not reset when being hidden, appearing in full size for 1 frame when a new message came up.
  

Changes to death effects:

1. Reworked "Wisp" enemy death effect, now spawns a mortar on death, similar to how "Zombie" enemies in floor 4 work.
   
2. Reworked "Blaze" enemy death effect (previously spawned a nova of fire projectiles), now spawns an exploding area of effect similar to the "Molten" elite enchantment.
   
3. Reworked "Ooze" enemy death effect (previously spawned some random projectiles in nova on death), now spawns 3 slimy mortars that explode into more projectiles on impact.
   
4. Reworked "Snake" enemy, removing the death effect (previously spawned poisonous projectiles on death), now instead leaves a short trail of normal small projectiles while moving.
   

New features:

• Added a little skull indicator icon above doors that lead into boss rooms.
  
• Added a panel which lists credits and acknowledgements in title menu.
  
• Add a new small feature, "Tips for adventurers" which are signs that spawn in Spawn Rooms of floors and tell you about weird game mechanics. There are 10 signs, they are randomly shuffled but cycled through, so they don't repeat.
