The 0.8.2 update brought a few issues along with the performance benefits. This update fixes issues related to projectiles not being properly reset before being re-used, as well as a few potential crashes associated mostly with improperly initialized arrays.
There are a few notable balance updates as well, such as the fact that only one status effect can be applied per weapon. Upgrades can no longer add properties to a weapon that doesn't have them (e.g. volley enhancers can only apply to weapons that already fire a volley of projectiles) This is part of the upcoming 0.9 changes where weapons will be able to be customized even further in the fabrication menu. There are a few issues I am aware of that will be fixed in the very near future, but this update should hopefully fix any current issues that could potentially result in a crash.
The demo for Balatro has been paused until Next Fest in October. Thank you all so much for the wonderful support of the game and for playing the demo! The next version will be incorporate a bunch of the community feedback and be better than ever.
If you played all 50 rounds, you will still have full access to the new demo in October.
I have a plan and a vision for Balatro, and that involves focusing more on quality content and gameplay to ensure the final release is a game worth your time and money. I know it is frustrating for many people to not be able to play, but if you keep patient I promise you will have a great game to play in the not too distant future!
I will post any major game related updates here as well to keep everyone in the loop. Thanks again for all the kind words and support.
This update we focused on fixing some bugs and we added in furniture. Players will have 10 new furniture items to place down in their house so be sure to collect them all.
Zombies hanging around - Fixed zombies that spawn in the air and hang around.
Breaking Rocks and doors still leaves collusion - Fixed it when breaking doors and rocks the collusion still stays there. They will no longer have collusion.
UI on Police and Taxi crafting station wrong - UI has wrong amounts and images have been changed.
Pond only giving 10% of water - pond should fill it up totally now.
Player dies when he has left MP game - Player will no longer die from hunger or thirst when they leave a MP game.
Furniture added - there is now 10 more furniture items in the game to collect.
I discovered a major flaw in the way enemies were coded. You probably won't notice much difference, but it need to be done :)
I also made a new logo. The existing one hadn't been changed since Ludum Dare 48. I'm not a pixel artist though, so when I eventually work with a proper graphics person something nice will be made.
