Minicology is gearing up for a signup-only beta - join the Discord server if you’re interested!



If you’ve got a tester copy, check out the “SNAPSHOT” beta branch by right-clicking Minicology in your steam library and navigating to PROPERTIES->BETAS. This branch might have some bugs and crashes for the next few days, but if you’re eager to check out the latest features, go right ahead.

What’s new from the past few months:

Minicology is getting a whole new universe - with procedurally generated solar systems in need of rescuing! Each system generates a set of objectives, which range from repairing factories to fighting bosses. At the end of each system you’ll be rewarded with a single-use terminal that lets you spend your levels on permanent upgrades to your character. Systems can be started and finished in any order - it’s up to you to decide how you save the mini-verse!

Crafting an anvil will now let you embed enhancement cores in weapons. Each weapon has a base number of enhancement slots, so there’s some strategy to picking your favorite weapon+core combo!

Farming Fronkeys just got more interesting! Fronkeys now drop toxins, which can be morphed into consumable serums by combining them with Antivenom at a Serum Stand. In later updates, look out for ways to weaponize toxins against enemies :)

There’s a new framework for shields, which let players and enemies alike block damage under certain conditions. Certain weapons are better than others at breaking tough enemy shells and deflective shields - so choose carefully!

Critical hits deal more damage and can activate special effects like life steal, shields, or stamina regen. A crit-heavy build can chain together critical attacks to activate these effects and stay ahead of the competition!

Players can now craft Starmail launchpads to ship materials to other planets. These can also be connected to Item Pipes in order to automatically unload shipped materials into your chest room!

Among other things, crafting has gotten a major overhaul. You’ll no longer need to
switch back and forth between tabs in order to research+craft, and you can now investigate the full crafting tree by researching items from the preview menu.

Early game progression is a little clearer! Players can now craft Steel - and associated weapons+armor - out of coal and ferrite, and several machines are available to further refine materials into advanced weapons and accessories.

Catch weather-specific enemies like Pufferfish and Water gaslins on rainy days, or new invasion foes like the Jellyfish Psion or Moon Jelly! Lots of fun stuff here.

Lots of these! Many systems run smoother and game saves should be more stable.

We will be performing server maintenance in the EU, NA and SEA regions on the following schedule:

[Scheduled date and time]

May 24, 2023
9:00 ~ 12:00 (CET)
AM 3:00 ~ AM 6:00 (EST)
PM 4:00 ~ PM 7:00 (GMT+8)

Schedules may change due to unexpected problems.

STALCRAFT servers will be unavailable during maintenance.

The update makes minor changes to the game.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

If you have any questions, please visit our support website.

Regards,
EXBO team.

And leave a review if you've enjoyed it! That would really help and inspire us!

Hello all!
Thank you so much for all of the feedback and bug reports! We hope you enjoy this round of changes and additions!

Today we introduce one new spell, and a new character that starts with it.

Quickly fires high damage slashes in front of you at a short range. A risk/reward spell with insanely high damage output, but requires you to walk towards your enemies to utilize it effectively.

Very durable and hits hard, but is slow at both moving and casting. Uses Arcane Slash spell type.



Every spell in the game has been changed, some more than others. The goal of these changes is to increase player engagement by forcing you to play around your cooldowns more, instead of being able to easily spam the screen with projectiles. Every spell that has had it's cooldown increased has been made stronger to compensate. A side effect of these changes should be some moderate performance improvements as well, since there are fewer projectiles on screen generally.

• Angle increment degrees per shot from 10 -> 8.
  
• Cooldown from 0.2 -> 0.3.
  
• Duration from 1.5 -> 2.

• Cooldown from 1.15 -> 6.5.
  
• Damage penalty from 50% -> 30%.
  
• Rarity from Rare -> Uncommon.

• Damage from 5 -> 10.
  
• Knockback from 0.05 -> 0.

• Cooldown from 0.1 -> 0.2.
  
• Damage from 25 -> 35.

• Cooldown from 2.5 -> 7.25.
  
• Damage from 40 -> 90.
  
• Size from 1.75 -> 2.

Reworked. Now fires a burst of low damage and piercing/homing bullets that last for a long time on a high cooldown. Burst is independent of multicast and split shot.

• Cooldown from 0.08 -> 6.
  
• Damage from 8 -> 13.
  
• Speed from 6.5 -> 5.
  
• Duration from 4 -> 9.

Unlike other spells, Landmine actually gets a cooldown decrease here due to it severely underperforming compared to other spells.

• Cooldown from 3.5 -> 1.25.
  
• Changed visuals to look less like gold.

• Cooldown from 1.45 -> 4.2.
  
• Pierce from 0 -> 2.

• Cooldown from 0.8 -> 2.1.
  
• Damage from 50 -> 70.
  
• Duration from 2.5 -> 3.
  
• Pierce from 1 -> 3.

• Cooldown from 8 -> 12.2.
  
• Damage from 200 -> 275.
  
• Duration from 6 -> 9. (nice)
  
• Pierces from 13 -> 25.

• Cooldown from 2.2 -> 21.
  
• Damage penalty from 45% -> 40%.
  
• Duration from 4 -> 13.5.
  
• Speed from 2.5 -> 2.

• Cooldown from 2 -> 5.75.
  
• Pierce from 8 -> infinite.
  
• Size from 1.5 -> 2.

• Cooldown from 0.5 -> 0.9.
  
• Pierce from 0 -> 1.

• Cooldown from 1.45 -> 3.75.
  
• Damage from 80 -> 65.
  
• Pierce from 0 -> 3.

• Rebalanced the health and speed values on a number of enemies
  
• Lowered the health on all bosses
  
• Bosses now get a damage reduction bonus when damage is dealt to them that consistently goes down over time. This is to help keep bosses alive longer even in godlike runs, forcing the player to actually fight the bosses instead of just insta killing them (no more steamrolling Gravedigger).
  
• Multicast damage penalty from 40% -> 20%.
  
• Split Shot damage penalty from 60%, 40%, 20% -> 40%, 20%, 0%.
  
• Spells that cast a sub-spell while alive now start with that sub-spell on a half duration cooldown.
  
• Adjusted descriptions on debuff mods to make them more understandable.
  
• Added border change on hover for button.
  
• Added photosensitivity warning scene before start menu.
  
• UI Tweaks.

• Fixed menu sounds not utilizing new audio system.
  
• Fixed status effects on spells being overwritten. This was causing a number of issues, including Kindling Spirit and Gravedigger not applying their status effects.
  
• Fixed null reference to owner in spell.
  
• Fixed Audio Master not playing sound when timescale is 0.
  
• Fixed some steam achievements not unlocking with in-game achievements. They will now automatically be unlocked upon starting a run.
  
• Fixed doubling audio on Kindling Spirit attacks.
  
• Fixed AoE attacks having their hitboxes removed after cycling through the projectile pool. This was causing Explosion to basically not work at all.
  
• Fixed margin issue with start menu.
  
• Cleaned up Start Menu layout for new character and fixed several minor styling issues.

• Fix recent regression where laser and projectile defense was not having any effect.

Check out me (the dev) splattering some creeps across three levels in the demo version. Everything shown will be available in the 2023 June Next Fest demo. Be sure to check it out!
