Update #120 brings a week's worth -- that's a lot! -- of balances, fixes and improvements to the Witch. We've fixed crashes, clarified Talent text, add more Skill connections to her Talents and balanced out her options to make sure she stands but is fun and fair within the game's meta.

If you are enjoying the new hero, please be sure to leave a review!

Right now ~1,000 of the Kickstarter backers for our next game, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint have access to the game’s private alpha and are giving us great feedback as the game gets closer to Early Access. We also have some public demos on our roadmap for events coming up this fall. Make sure you’ve wishlisted and followed Cyber Knights for news and a special discount when it’s released!

Crashes were top priority - the Respec crash and crash when viewing some of the Witch's Talents are now resolved. Please report any others.


Some of her Talents have had their Skill links redone and these are all clearly stated, along with their effects in the Skill leveling screens. Malediction is linked to Sorcery and Lifeforce Regeneration is linked to Conjuring now, for example.

In additional, Skills now have a bigger impact on Malediction and Lifeforce Regeneration. Malediction has had its base Damage reduced but now gains bonus Damage equal to (Sorcery x Talent level) which can be a pretty mean bonus if you invest enough in the Skill. In the same way, Lifeforce Regeneration relies on Conjuring and gains a (Conjuring x Talent level) bonus to its healing power.

Bones of the Earth healing Talent continues to use Lore and gets the same healing bonus always granted, (Lore x Talent level).

This new Skill arrangement helps push a much more interesting meta around what Skills to train for the Witch, now forcing you to dump Skill points into your curse Skills more actively to power them and reduces the easier choice to just focus on Spears.

The Witch's Talent level restrictions were not correctly setup when she was launched. We've resolved that with this update. The following Talents changed their requirements -

• Req Lvl 3 = Leyline Gravity
  
• Req Lvl 6 = Quagmire & Cabal of One
  
• Req Lvl 12 = Edgescatter & Preternatural Speed

There have been a set of boosts and nerfs across the Talent set.

The SP cost of all of Syvana's empowered attacks has been reduced -- Skewer, Edgescatter and Blinding Strike. We've also fixed the missing bonus Damage and bonus Accuracy for Edgescatter and Blinding Strike which will make these Talents significantly more interesting. Blinding Strike's 9th and 10th level also debuff -2 AP (ohhh, Hex Web anyone?)

Cabal of One gained more Earth Damage to make this angle of its buff more appealing.

In the nerf category, Occult Calling lost a point of max throwing range for spears, maxing out now at 5 instead of 6. We also removed the redundant +X All Melee Skills (because the Talent is already granting +X Spears Skill) and the bonus +Dmg to keep it fair and put more emphasis on empowered attacks.

Malediction now costs 2 AP to use.

There were icons and text in the game that confusingly indicated the Hex Web was a multi-target AOE curse. It is not - it is a one-to-many Talent that can push curses. We have adjusted the in-game text and display to make this clearer.

We've made a huge heap of improvements and critical bug fixes based on the community's feedback already so keep it up. Adding a new character with new abilities affects so much of the game it's impossible for us to account for all possible interactions. If you encounter any bugs with Syvana, let us know at https://discord.gg/TreseBrothers or through the Steam forums, and we'll roll out a patch.

- Increased Earth Dmg bonus from Cabal of One

- Clarified that Hex Web is a single target debuff which can push curses to multiple nearby enemies (one to many, not many to many)

- Removed redundant +X All Melee Skills and bonus +Z Dmg from Occult Calling
- Malediction costs 2 AP to cast, reduced base damage but added bonus damage by Sorcery Skill

- Fixed oodles of typos

Hello!

First off, it's been a while since I updated. My work situation has been incredibly rough and so I've focused on development instead of devlogs.

The next version is underway, but needs a few more days to wrap up some remaining issues and balancing stuff out.

This version changes up industry and hotel balancing and also adds in the first set of 3x3 buildings.
It also rebalancing difficulty slightly among other things.



Lowest tier 3x3 commercial buildings:



Low/mid mixed tier 3x3 commercial buildings:



Middle tier 3x3 commercial buildings:



Mid/upper mixed tier 3x3 commercial buildings:

- You cannot pause in Boss Fights (I'M SORRY, too many pause boss exploits that I will not be able to fix I think, reach out to me if you think this ruins the game too much)
- Remade the entire boss dialogue/boss title system. They will only play once per save, period.
- SFX added to Ice Elemental Lord
- Remade the room before Warrior Statue
- Great Spin Slash damage fixed (Sharpening Stone damage boost was wrong)
- Improvements and fixes to the Great Slash Spicy Nut interaction
- Fixed Spin Bounce not working unless you have Wall-Bounce
- Tweaked Ice Physics, fixed an issue where coyote jump would not trigger the ice boost (made it feel inconsistent)
- Added new sound effects when running on ice
- Fixed a bug where Frozen Depths music would start after an Undergrounds Astral Gate
- Tweaked Dark Protector laser shoot speed
- Some improvements to the Green viewing eye
- Improved the Frozen Depths Boss theme
- Changed the size of the boss trigger and improved some boss deaths
- SFX given to Huge Wallclinger
- Improved hit detection on Acid Crawler boss
- SFX tweaks

Complete Update Log
====================

======== MAJOR ===========
Started the sixth and final level!
Last level of the game was laid out - includes new monsters, rock climbing holds, and the return of JELLYCATS
The finding Alma cutscene was added
Last last level got new tiles and camera work
(Multiple charge jumps, or the ability to chargejump after a wallclimb hold. If you touch a wall or a ring or any monster you can ride, your charge jump resets!
Title screen was redone - the layout is WAY better and makes more sense
When you beat Kaiden for the first time, rough cutscene art was added
Fixed when you fired bullets, the music would desync problem
Messed with the save game flags when you update all objects on john mule. There is still some lag there, but it's better!

======== MINOR ===========
Tabs, Issac, and Scylla now have bullet shells
When you die, the active companion will 'respawn' next to you
When you duck, the active companion will duck down with you
'Endgame' Issac and Tabs both have companion sprites
His weapon was messed with a bit, too! His bullets will appear in front of you, always. They also move a bit faster, too!
When you fight Kaiden - and die - Issac will yell at you. What a nice guy.
Gilbert bullets are back in the object pool + despawn correctly
DRGN-DPYERS make sounds when they see and fire upon you
When Xer gives you the dash boots, his cutscene panel is not blurry anymore
Alma will animate better when you see her in the caves (also hid the song note when you normally see her everywhere else in the game. Really weird that was happening...)
Alma's landing beep and jellycats are back in the sound mixer, where they should be!
The caves had a few areas where you could see off the level... oops....
Moving platforms in the abbo level was made bigger, so it's easier to jump on
Lurkers liked to spin ontop of Leto. Again. I think I fixed it for real this time. Maybe. We'll see.
================================
