This patch focuses heavily on reducing **end-game lag**, while laying the groundwork for exciting future features like **Item Set Bonuses**. Several performance tweaks and balance updates have been made to improve gameplay flow in high-level progression.

🛠️ **Performance & Gameplay Improvements**
-- Reduced end-game lag with **adjustments to loot processing**, **player stat calculations**, and **inventory limits** (max 10 items looted per enemy).
-- Player **level-up behavior has been optimized** to resolve all level-ups instantly before continuing enemy spawns.
-- Stat calculation updates aim to improve **game responsiveness in later stages**.
-- Soft-cap added to experience gain to temporarily address an exploit (a permanent solution is in the works).

🔄 **Mechanics & Quality-of-Life Changes**
-- Added **Golden Skulls per second/minute/hour** display to the game screen.
-- Implemented **partial crit chance overflow**: any crit chance above your class max is now partially converted into crit damage.
-- The **Succubus' flying head** companion now resets its attack timer when an enemy dies, just like the player.
-- **Dark Benediction** no longer refreshes its timer if already active, but will **now update its bonus values** if the newly triggered effect has higher damage/health modifiers.

🧪 **Coming Soon**
-- Inventory screen updated in preparation for the **Item Set Bonus system**, coming in a future patch!

🧠 **Developer’s Note**
Patch 3.45 was all about improving performance, especially in long or idle-heavy late-game runs. If you continue to experience lag or odd behavior after this update, **please report it directly** so we can keep optimizing!

The release of the 0.81 update, including the new gear changes, campfires, and many more features is releasing very soon! We plan to release the update on Friday, May 23rd at 5PM EST

Hey! I Know Right?
A Whole Day Since An Update? K Let Me Just Say That This Took Me From 11 Or 12 This Morning To 10pm Today.

Basically The Main Game Got A Major Revamp, Not Done Yet But Still. You Can Now Mess Around With A (Almost) Fully Functional Photo Mode, Still Some Bugs With It.

There Was Also A Revamp With The Cups, You Might Have Kicked Them Around A Bit Before And Saw Ice Coming Out. Well Back When I Made That Code I Didn't Know How To Make It Be So It Was When It Was Upside Down It Leaked, So I Just Made It On Contact.

BUT NOW I Have Made It So It Works Like I Always Wanted It To. This Update Also Revamps The Entire UI For The Main Game And Most Extras. Plus A Revamped Movement System Which Is Also In Beta.
There Are Now Camera Shakes, And Working On Controller Force Feedback To Match With Them.

My storage might be down to 1mb But it is pretty optimized for you guys, And Jeez This Game Is Getting Kinda Fat Ain't It, Thinking By The End Of The Month It'll Be About A Gigabyte.

This games like a playground to make and to play in so I hope you like the new update, I'm gonna test it on a less powerful computer tonight so I can check for bugs. Thanks for playing!!!

Navigation update to military city map, bouts shouldn't stand in place.

I recently took some time to port Cogs over to an entirely different code base -- from a custom C++ engine I wrote 16 years ago to C# on Unity. Thanks to a few folks on the forums who have helped me hunt down some launch-day bugs and encouraged me to support the legacy Cloud Save data.

This version should be better in just about every way -- snappier, higher-resolution, and more aligned with modern APIs.

For now, it's available in English only. Don't hesitate to send bugs and feature requests to support@lazy8studios.com
