And of course, the "Halloween Clash Update" brought about a CLASH of BRANDS in 4-S as well as the ability to make the game look as DUSK-y as you want with color palette and dithering options.

And we've ended the year by showing you the latest enemy design, The Idol.


Which will make enemies invulnerable with a beam of holy light until it is destroyed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2022 will bring you an Enemy AI Update with full controller support, and a new alternate weapon before we deliver you unto Layer 5: WRATH with new weapons and variants and then the final layer of Act II...

Hello! Today's 30XX 0.30 patch is a smaller bugfix patch that comes with a few gameplay and enemy behavior changes. Most of our team's taking some time off! Hope everyone reading's gotten some good time to relax a bit and catch up with friends and family over the holiday season.

Thanks for playing, and Happy New Year!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

• Choice Machines awarded from Contemplation Rooms now award a Weapon in the Bronze slot, and two Augs in the Silver and Gold slots (Changed from Weapon choices in the Bronze and Silver slots, and an Aug in Gold).
  
  • We may revisit this down the line, but for the time being, the existing implementation meant that the Weapon of the player's choice would almost always be available in a run, especially for Ace.
• Maker Mode now works in online play.
  
• Updated Crystal Shooter (Echocave miniboss) attack pattern so it scales a little more smoothly through the run. It now has its current "easy" pattern on levels 1 and 2, its "hard" pattern on 7+, and a "medium" pattern from 3-6. (We'll probably revisit this guy later, but this gave us a quick fix for now.)
  
• Tweaked the Rolly Giant's (Burning Temple miniboss) AI a bit to prevent a rare case where it could attack in the wrong direction while rolling.
  
• Drillfaces (Shielded Echocave flying enemy) no longer collide with other enemies (including other Drillfaces).
  
• Changed how Beta Acolytes (Penumbra jumping enemy) attack. Their previous implementation felt a little unfair at times. In addition, added a slightly longer recovery period after they land before jumping again.
  
• Fixed an issue causing Glory Zone conditions in online co-op to fail to sync if the client activated a Glory Zone teleporter first.
  
• Fixed an issue causing Wall Lasers in Deepverse to deal contact damage to players during its spawn/despawn animations. (Should only be while its laser is active.)
  
• Fixed an issue causing Trapmoles to grant more points than intended in Challenges when killed via Ace's Ryuusei.
  
• Fixed an issue causing Entropy Conditions to max out at 2 when loading a previously saved Standard run in progress after closing the game.
  
• Fixed an issue causing the Autotank to fail to show its buff icon when loading a run in Standard Mode.
  
• Fixed a potential online crash, and added some better logging for future packet send errors.
  
• Fixed an issue causing Choicebooster to work as intended in Standard Mode.
  
• Rending Whirl now appropriately pushes Exploding Barrels in Dustria straight up again.
  
• Negation Pulse now pushes Exploding Barrels an an appropriate direction, based on its position relative to the Barrel.
  
• Removed the "Grab Bag" and "Archive" Prototype Blessings from Daily and Weekly Challenges. (They're a bit output-randomness heavy for Challenge purposes.)
  
• Fixed an issue where starting an airdash while close to the ground could cause it to clip. Dashing in this state will now correctly complete the airdash while allowing the player to jump as if grounded.

IO, Albiorix, and Titan for the new color scheme, as well as the baked light for the best performance!

Just a tiny one for bug fixes, but look out for the new blood waterfall in one of the later levels.

In this update, we focused on improving some of the characters we felt were underwhelming. We also added many miscellaneous sound effects throughout the game.

---

• Pause Menu interface has been completely overhauled. It has new visuals matching the style of the main menu and new functionalities.
  
• At every launch of the game, there is now a pop-up explaining how to use Steam Remote Play to play the game with your friends online.
  
• Added several new UI-Only Sound Effects.
  
• Added a new sound effect for powerup spawn and pickup.
  
• Before spawning onto the arena, each player will emit a light beam with their respective color on the spawn location. This serves as a cue to where your character will appear.
  
• Kraken's Grasp map received a camera touch-up alongside some visual fixes to the water around it.

• Reworked all sound effects.
  
• Firestream is now much bigger and menacing.
  
• Firestream Visual Effect has been completely overhauled along with a size increase to match the new hitbox.
  
• Thermal Shock, Pyro & Cryo's ultimate, received a visual effects overhaul. Mechanics unchanged.

• Her third spell, Suit Shuffle, has been replaced with Lucky Charm.
  
• Lucky Charm throws a heart projectile forward, upon impact it created a mark on the ground that explodes every 1 second 3 times before disappearing. It deals damage to both heroes and terrain.
  
• Suit Shuffle will be available on Ability Draft when the game mode releases.

[How to Obtain Fishing Rods for Ice Fishing]


* You cannot obtain the [Event] Splat Fisher's Fishing Rod if you already have it in your Inventory (I).



③ Once you have the [Event] Splat Fisher's Fishing Rod, accept special quests from Abelin and Crio to start ice fishing!
Tip! Right-click the [Event] Splat Fisher's Fishing Rod from your Inventory (I) to see the location of the Serene Spring.

[Special Family Quest to Obtain an Alpaca]


* This event quest can only be completed once per Family.
* Only Shai characters can ride the Fwuzzy Alpaca.

④ Once you’ve arrived at the Serene Spring with the [Event] Splat Fisher's Fishing Rod, you’re ready to start ice fishing!
- Keep in mind that you can’t catch the event fish with a normal fishing rod!

How to Ice Fish

(1) At the Serene Spring, right-click the [Event] Splat Fisher's Fishing Rod from your Inventory (I) to start ice fishing.

(2) Once you get a bite, try to successfully complete the minigame.



(3) The minigame will last up to 30 seconds, and your goal is to keep the fish in the blue gauge until its endurance runs out. Once the fish is all tuckered out, you’ll be able to catch the fish with your spacebar!


- Rotate Mouse (Left): Reel in the line and bring the fish closer to the surface.


- Rotate Mouse (Right): Slacken the line and allow the fish to move away from the surface.

(4) Check out how you can use the fish that can be caught from ice fishing!
