Notes
  • So first let me talk about my decision to move on from development on the game. In my previously pinned announcement I said I would stop making more content for the game and focus on bugfixes. As much as that hurt to do since I love creating new things for this game, I felt it was best since I needed to spend my time on both moving away from the Flash programming language and onto other projects. Now I have to move on from the game entirely.

    It's alluring to spend my time tinkering with this game since I've been working on it for so long and how much I can let my creative freedom take over and expand on it. But with the full abandonment of Flash by pretty much every avenue I have to stop programming in this archaic language and move on.

    The last (almost) 5 years have been amazing, the game started as a hobby project to see if I could make a fully realized project and it kept growing and evolving into what the game is now. I'm so incredibly proud of myself for sticking through with this and it gives me hope for future projects.

    This announcement also unfortunately means that any remaining bugs the game has will very likely not be fixed. I've messed with the idea to make the code open source but I think the community is too small for that to be viable. Maybe in the future I'll reconsider and see if there's any hardcore old school Flash people out there that would love to tackle this game.

    I'll still include this game in Steam sales and I'll still try my best to respond to community questions and discussions. There's a Discord group for my game that's accessible on the main menu when you launch the game. I hope to see you there!

    Now, moving on to the update notes. I found a major issue with status effects and went to fix it, and I also ran into a couple other hanging problems that I forgot to address in earlier updates. So these are the final update notes, there's not a lot here but the status effect one is bigger than you might think!

    Thank you all for your support and feedback. I really hope you got your money's and time's worth out of this game and I also hope you'll be there for my future projects <3

Bugfixes
  • Fixed a bug in the character selection screen where the stat allocation wasn't working properly if you had auto stat allocation set in the options
  • Fixed the Marauder's stat allocation working improperly, giving them less stats than they should receive
  • Fixed the Herbalist's Toxic Cloud not applying its effects if you didn't have the first upgrade bought
  • Fixed the Herbalist's Cleansing Balm not healing properly
  • Fixed a problem with the Endless Wanderer's Past Memories buff
  • Fixed an issue with spells that applied multiple status effects where the additional buffs/debuffs never activated their effects

Changes
  • Changed the Herbalist's Toxic Cloud second upgrade to Hemorrhage equal to twice the amount of Health/Mana Regen lost. These Hemorrhage values are now capped to 25%

Notes
  • This patch addresses several bugs as well as adds a quality-of-life change to bosses!

Bugfixes
  • Fixed some damage not showing negation particles+sound if it gets negated
  • Fixed the Sharpshooter's Keen Eye giving you more Crit Chance/Instant Kill Chance than it should have
  • Fixed the Shaman's Black Cloud second upgrade throwing an error
  • Fixed a bug with damage not properly adding to your overall Damage Taken statistic
  • Fixed the game throwing an error if you checked the Gameplay options tab while in combat
  • Fixed the shop not allowing you to buy items if you had the exact gold amount
  • Fixed display description issues with some effects from the Curse Room
  • Fixed occasional issues with spells that apply to multiple enemies instead applying to the source's allies
  • Fixed an issue with the Shadow Manifest's unique armor not applying its damage reduction properly

Changes
  • Bosses are now gated to spawn based on how far you are in the run. If you're further in the run then bosses that spawn earlier in the game can no longer spawn. This allows the later-game bosses a chance to be encountered more often as you get further in the run

Quick update to address a few problems!

  • The Blood Mage's Hemorrhage didn't save how many times you've used the spell so it appeared to "revert" when you quit and reloaded. This was purely a description problem and you still had the damage increase but I've fixed the "revert" issue
  • Fixed a bug with the unique armor, Smoke Veil, when it attempted to get unequipped from its owner
  • Fixed new games starting you with a Perfected Bonebreaker x) I had this in because I was testing the weapon's special effect and forgot I put that piece of code in. If you managed to receive a Bonebreaker then congrats!

Notes
  • After a long time in development I'm proud to announce the next update is live for The Labyinth! This update includes major changes to the stat, effect, and spell code.
  • The notes below go into all the details but here's the summary: preparing attacks/spells and hovering over valid targets now show much more accurate damage numbers. This takes away a bunch of micromanaging with effects and streamlines combat even further
  • The status effect code has been rewritten and works much more efficiently
  • Finally, there are TONS of spell reworks. Scroll to the Class Changes below to view them all, but every class has had some tweaks and some have had major changes!

Bugfixes
  • Fixed the quick/beginner start not selecting random classes from the seed
  • Fixed an issue where the game would throw an error if you hovered over a very specific position on the statistics page during combat
  • Fixed an issue with a final boss's unique buff not working properly (can't go into specifics without spoiling the boss)
  • Fixed several enemy spells that could potentially freeze/crash the game
  • Fixed the Dragon Slayer's Sacrifice second upgrade not increasing the Divine Damage Dealt
  • Fixed the Hunter's Tracking Shot throwing an error if you killed the target with the second cast
  • Fixed the Knight's Forceful Impact dealing bonus damage by 10% of your Max Health instead of the proper 15%
  • Fixed being able to use the White Mage's Burst Heal endlessly if you had the second upgrade unlocked
  • Fixed the Assassin's Assassinate dealing more damage to Bosses if their health percent was below the health threshold
  • Fixed the Herbalist's Supplements not activating
  • Fixed the Cursed Room's Shroud on enemies not making them untargetable
  • Fixed description typos with several spells

Overhauls
  • Overhauled damage/healing calculation. The game now keeps track of reduction/increase numbers to accurately reflect how much damage/healing you will deal when you target a character with them
    • Quick summary of the changes: Damage/healing reduction effects have remained the same, but increase effects have been nerfed. Reduction effects stack multiplicatively (which has always been the case), but increase effects now stack additively
    • Reduction effects stack multiplicatively. For example let's say you have two effects that reduce damage taken by 20% each. You might think that gives +40% total reduction (20% + 20%) but that's incorrect. Multiplicative stacking means you actually gain only +36% damage reduction (100% * 0.8 * 0.8 = 64%)
    • Increase effects stack additively. For example let's say you have two effects that increase damage dealt by 20% each. These add together for +40%, easy peasy. This is a nerf because, before, these effects would grant an actual gain of +44% damage dealt (100% * 1.2 * 1.2 = 144%)
    • Reduction effects are stronger than increase ones due to how the percentages work. For example if a target takes 25% less damage and you deal 25% more, the two 25%'s don't cancel each other out and the target actually takes 93.75% damage (100% * 0.75 * 1.25 = 93.75%)

Additions
  • Added damage reflection statistics. This way all damage reflection gained will be consolodated into a single stat
  • Added a Critical Damage Reduction statistic. There are some effects that reduce critical damage taken and I wanted a stat to reflect this
  • Added an enemy stat difficulty curve as you win combat encounters. Enemy stats will gradually get higher if you win encounters without losing a lot of Health (indicating that the encounter wasn't difficult or you managed your resources effectively). I'm testing this feature in the hopes to maintain game difficulty for more skilled players

Changes
  • Updated the status effect code, this came with a couple changes
    • The code has been revamped and reorganized to prevent some issues that have been popping up occasionally
    • Effect descriptions have been updated if they have a multiplier value change to show both the multiplier and the flat change this represents. For example, Health Bleeds deal damage based on Missing Health, so a 10% Health Bleed will now read "-10% Missing Health Spell Damage per turn (-VALUE)" instead of just "-VALUE Spell Damage per turn"
  • Spell descriptions in combat now also show the cost when you have a spell queued and hover over a valid target
  • You can now quit combat at any time instead of having to occasionally wait
  • Most enemy spells have been tweaked with the idea to make the late-game encounters more difficult
  • Made the Cursed Room unable to spawn on the first floor of a Short run
  • Pierce now reduces the effectiveness of the target's Attack Damage Reduction instead of just reducing the target's effective Defense. This is a buff since Pierce now goes through all Attack Damage Reduction from every effect
    • For example, a target has 25% Attack Damage Reduction and you have 25% Pierce. Your Pierce increases the target's Attack Damage Taken to 81.25% (75% + 25% * 25% = 81.25%)
    • Attack Damage Dealt can still be reduced if you are Weakened, even if you have Pierce, since Pierce doesn't reduce the effectivess of Weakens
  • Having a negative Defense value (such as from being debuffed) acts as being Exposed, increasing Attack Damage Taken by up to 100%
  • Adjusted item specials to reduce the power of Spell Damage based ones and increase the power of Attack Damage based ones since Spell Damage is inherently stronger than Attack Damage
  • Some stat change sources no longer activate post-stat-change effects (for example dealing Reflection Damage won't activate effects that apply after you deal damage). These stat changes will only apply pre-stat-change effects (such as Damage Reduction). This is to prevent possible recursion in rare scenarios
    • This is a temporary change to fix a current problem that I hope to fix in the future. I want to tweak my stat code to be more consistent with damage and effects and to prevent these kinds of issues
  • Changed the way spells show their description to prevent them from being so verbose when fully upgraded
  • Updated the game guide to relay current information that this update changed
  • Combat shows more info if you somehow manage to damage allies or heal enemies (the game originally ignored these fringe cases)

This update for the beta branch includes a rewritten framework for status effects. They're more efficient and have had a few issues ironed out. If you're currently playing the game on the beta branch you'll have to start new games unfortunately since old status effects cannot migrate over properly with this rework.

There's also a few miscellaneous bugfixes with enemy spells that I ran in to and some end-game content fixes as well. I can't go into specifics without spoiling but just know if you ran into some issues that they're most likely fixed now (:

As always this beta branch version might contain further issues so any that you find feel free to let me know in the discussions here or on the game's Discord!

Hey all! Version 2.0.0 is now live on the beta branch! This update has a large amount of changes that I will go into more detail when I push the update to the default branch.

The main part of this update is much more accurate damage/heal numbers. When you have an attack/spell queued and hover over a valid target the game now gives you an accurate amount of damage/healing you're going to deal to the target, taking into account most modifiers that you or the target have that can alter these numbers. The only modifiers that aren't taken into account are ones that activate on a percent chance. This should take away a ton of micromanaging on what effects you and the enemies have before you determine which targets to focus on.

The second part of this update is major spell redesigns. Many spells in the game have been tweaked, some have been reworked, and some have been replaced entirely. I'll go into much more detail about the specific changes when the update is on the default branch.

To change to the beta branch:
  • Go to your library
  • Right-click The Labyrinth
  • Click Properties
  • Click Betas
  • On the dropdown menu select "beta"
  • Confirm and the update should automatically start downloading!

I'll leave the update in the beta branch for a little bit to iron out any issues that are found before I release it officially. Have fun!

Hey all! I wanted to officially announce that, after a 4 month development period, I've finally reached the final steps of finishing the next major update to the game!

This update overhauls the stat modifier system. Stat modifiers are anything that alter the final value of a stat change. Damage reduction, healing increases, exposes, weakens, etc all fall under this category. Since practically every effect and spell in the game relies on this system I had to go through and update ALL of them, so this update has taken a long time!

Tests so far are promising and take away a huge portion of micromanaging in combat which is keeping track of effects that change how much damage/healing you deal. When you prepare an attack/spell and hover over a target it now tells you exactly how much damage/healing it's going to do, accommodating for all modifiers both you and the target have.

Once I do some more testing and ensure there's no more immediate issues with the game I'll push out an update onto the beta branch, and you'll be able to switch over at any time to try out the new update!

For now I just wanted to make this announcement so you didn't think there wasn't anything in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

Notes
  • This update is coming out earlier than I wanted because I realized there's stuff missing in the game that was added 2 updates ago! This was because I stupidly reset the computer I'm using to code and forgot to upload the changes to github before resetting😂 I only lost a little bit of progress thankfully so this update is coming out now to restore the Total Defense, Defense Reduction, and updated Defense stat information on the statistics screen both out of combat and in combat.
  • This update also has nerfs to a few classes since in the late game these upgrade spells can render any enemy encounter pretty much harmless. The classes affected are the Berserker, Arcane Mage, and Brewer.

Bugfixes
  • Fixed an issue with the Shadow Walker's Shadow Retreat not reverting properly and making the Shadow Walker perpetually untargetable

Nerfs
  • Increased the Health Cost of the Berserker's Collateral Damage to 35% (50% initial - 15% upgrade) from 20% (35% initial - 15% upgrade)
  • Added a percent Mana Cost to the Arcane Mage's Melter. The base cost is still 100 but there's now a 25% cost as well
  • Reduced the Brewer's Burning Brew second upgrade Mana Drain to 35% from the current percent of the Health percentage (45% initial to 75% with first upgrade)
  • Increased the Mana Cost of the Brewer's Burning Brew to 35% (100 minimum) from 25% (50 minimum)
  • Increased the Cooldown of the Brewer's Full Rounds to 6 from 5
  • Increased the Minimum Cost of the Brewer's Full Rounds to 150 from 75

Known Issues
  • The Berserker's Berserk passive upgrades don't set/revert the Crit Chance and Lifesteal properly, I'm looking into the cause of this problem

These notes are short but it's an issue I've been meaning to fix for a while!

I updated the code that syncs stats locally to Steam and vice versa to fix issues with some stats not syncing properly. This should fix another issue that may have made Enemy Roulette and Boss Roulette not activate when it should.
