Update 1.24b Reworked Talent Screen
Its not a massive update, but it should make the talent screen feel better. I also added a few tutorials that I noticed people having issues with in YouTube videos.
Notes:
- Living bomb's explosion has been reduced.
- Reworked the talent tree screen... Should be much better, please let us know what you think! (later each class will have their own backgrounds, we are just up against time right now so we only did 1 for melee, and 1 for casters).
- Minor tweaks to level exp requirements. You should now need less exp per level.
- Added 2 tutorials for the Character screen.
- I worked on a fullscreen bug (I have been looking for a solution on an off for months)... Im not entirely sure its fixed, as I have no way of duplicating the bug (I has never happened for me). Please let me know if you guys experience any fullscreen crashes from here on out...
More coming later this week guys :) gotta get that last boss in :)

Gonna take a break on the class stuff till mid next week. I need to work on a few other areas for a bit. But at the very least every class has gotten more talents and at least 1 new skill. After the next wave of talents we should have all (or at least most) classes having enough talents to not be able to get them all.
We also hit a milestone of 70 skills in game (not all are player usable but most are, and some that are not just waiting for theirclasses to get finished). We should be at around 90-100 by release, and I expect to hit 120+ before the classes (and mobs) are where we want them...
Also if you guys could take a few minutes and fill out the tags for the game (it will really help out our traffic numbers) that would be huge! Here is a link about what we need: http://steamcommunity.com/app/427910/discussions/0/385429254935348101/
Update 1.22b More Class work
We got some love for the Paladin, and the Shaman today. And I plan to work on the priest tomorrow. Sorry for the bugs in the last patch, they should be all cleared up now...
Notes:
- Warrior talent changed: Bash Plus now adds 2 turns to the stun rather than just 1.
- New Rogue Talent: Kidney Failure, Kidney Shot's stun will now last for 2 turns if the target is poisoned.

- Fixed some bugs associated with test code being released on a live build (sorry guys).
- Fixed a bug with bash.
- Fixed a bug with Chain Lightning where the bounces were not properly reducing damage.
I just want to reiterate that none of the classes are done (and i am spending around 2 full days per week currently on nothing but adding things to classes). When they are done they should have TONS of options for talents so that you can customize your party to do a bunch of different things. I know right now when you get to max level you can get all the talents (and have points left over), but that will not be the case later on I promise :)
On that note I also want to make clear we have no intention of ending development of this game any time soon. Even after we leave Early Access we will still be working on the game. We will leave Early Access when the base game (what we started out to make) is in, but that has become just the tip of the iceberg for this project now.
So in short, stay tuned for more to come :)
With all the class content going in please let me know if you find any bugs (I am sure there are some), and I will fix them up as soon as I can (normally next day or 2).
Lastly if you like what we are doing, make sure that you let the rest of steam know with a review of the game (it really does help!).
Update 1.22 Magranus!
We added the level 50 boss (Yes we skipped a few, but this is the one the ended up done first. We will get teh 35/40/45 bosses in soon enough.). Magranus has 3 skills currently, but we will be revisiting the fight (and all the others), once we have them all in the game.
Skills:
1) Mass Taunt (same as the warrior talent).
2) Mass Siphon Health: This spell has Magranus siphon health from all his allies. The more targets there are the more health he will regain.
3) Meteor (same as the mage talent).
We know we want to had at least 2 more spells, we are open to ideas ;)
Magranus is accompanied by 2 Corrupted Bishops (new Mob see below), and 2 Spiced Rums.
New mob Corrupted Bishop: This mob has a lower spawn rate than other mobs (have not yet decided if we will give the Corrupted Bishop elite status or not), as it is pretty strong. The Bishop is a good example of where we want to take the game, and the complexity level we want encounters to have. Please let us know what you guys think. The Corrupted Bishop will appear starting on floor 11.
Skills:
1) Heal All (Same as the priest talented skill).
2) Smite (Same as priest skill).
3) Siphon Health: new warlock type skill, siphon health attacks and enemy for 1/2 normal spell damage, and returns the damage as healing.
4) Righteous Pain (same as the priest talent), this will most likely change to a warlock skill, after warlocks are done, in order to show the corrupted nature of working with demons
5) Renew (Same as the priest skill).
Notes:
- New Boss: Magranus level 50 boss.
- New Mob: Corrupted Bishop.
- Mage Talent Changed: Fireball 2 renamed "Fireball Burn". It has also been changed from 2% per point for up to 5 points, to 3.33% damage per point for 3 points.

We are gonna add some poison synergies over the next week or 2 as well. As always theres a ton to do, and I know the list of quality of life things is mounting up fast... We got a couple more weeks of content just to get to the base of the game that we wanted to make (there is tons of add on stuff left to do after that). After the content I will get back to the quality of life stuff for awhile.
Update 1.21 Blocked Doors
