Miscellanous:

-Made it so the card backs say "Call of Zadeus" instead of "Mage Tower".

Card Balance Changes:

-Creativity (which is destroyed when you play a 4-cost or higher card) no longer has its upgrade make it so that only 5-cost and higher cards destroy it. Creativity also had its cost increased from 2 to 3, and its upgrade now reduces the cost to 2. (With Creativity's original upgrade, its drawback became easy to play around, and it was usually "Pay 2 to draw your whole deck", which is too good.)
-Bodysnatcher now only gets +Attack equal to half the amount of cards gained, rounded down, instead of the full amount of cards gained. Cost reduced from 6 to 4 and health increased from 4 to 5. (Was exceedingly overpowered and is still one of the best cards in the game.)
-River Sage's attack reduced from 1 to 0. (A card draw card that self-trashes and can hold equipment is already quite good.)

Other Changes:

-About 90% of Zadeus's monsters have had their stats slightly reduced to compensate for the card rebalancing changes in the last few patches.
-Lost Cities and Bodysnatcher now both tell you in their card text how many cards you've gained so far this game.

Bug Fixes:

-Fixed a crash bug that could rarely happen if you played cards very quickly.
-Fixed a bug where, after loading up a run you'd previously started, the Obelisks would be invisible and you couldn't collide with them.
-Fixed a bug where Council Mage would count as a playable card when ending your turn even when it wasn't currently playable.
-Fixed a bug where a Defender with an equippable artifact that alters a Defender's health would sometimes not show the correct stats.
-Finally fixed a bug that would cause parts of two adjacent vertical roads to be cut out.
-Fixed a bug where Obelisks and Bazaars could spawn at the edge of the map, in areas that were impossible to get to.
-Fixed a bug where sometimes the dungeon enemies' hitboxes extended too far, making you run into them when you shouldn't be running into them.
-Fixed a bug where sometimes Bodysnatcher's attack and health wouldn't show up correctly in some places while it had equipment.
-Fixed a bug where Ferocity Serum had the same graphic as Strength Serum.
-Fixed a bug where Lightning Arrows was showing it was an Uncommon when it's actually a Common.
-Fixed a bug where, on the battle screen, you were able to overlap two artifacts at once with your mouse causing two tooltips to appear at once.
-The artifact Magic Lantern (that makes a card ignore its Void Stone) is no longer equippable to Treasures, Permanents, or Level Up cards, as it would have no effect on them.
-Fixed a bug where Summon Reinforcements and Trade Routes' upgraded versions said they upgraded from 5 to 8 counters instead of from 3 to 6.

Romans!

We know we had a rough start to our empire here on Steam. Following your feedback and reviews, we realized that a big part of it was a major issue caused by a last-moment change we did in the game right before release and caused a lot of problems including crashes, slow loading times, slow switching between graphics settings and more, mainly on low spec computers. We are incredibly sorry to those who experienced problems because of that. We do however have great news - the last update, which is focused on the characters' shaders should fix the majority of those issues! It might also cause some new, smaller issues, but the game should perform and behave a lot better now. We know there are still many issues to take care of, and as promised, we will keep uploading daily updates to the game until everything is resolved and the experience is as good as we intended for everyone. This update however should be a major step and a big improvement.

Thank you for your feedback, support and honest reviews - we are learning from them and they are helping us renovate Rome!

The Senate.


* In the last update, we also added a crash reporter where you can send us the crash log - by doing that you can help us identify the problems and solve them faster.

Bug fixes and tweaks
--------------------
-Juice particles now follow you while drinking on a trampoline.
-Fixed Cow disappearing for longer if you repeatedly ride The Funnel.
-Fixed playing multiple Flappy Cow games at once and crashing the game.
-Fixed a bug with Beesley's Lime Mode.
-Fixed a typo in Tutorial Tapir's dialogue.
-Fixed a bug with planted items not clearing between save files.
-Tweaked a certain puzzle in a cave.

Fixed a major oversight from v13.6 where I deleted redundant object files from NIGHTMARE assets. Forgot there was no Subz Juicer object in the DEFAULT assets, so they weren't appearing in the story and it was causing crashes. Thanks to PhenomD.

Also since the last post, I fixed some cliffs in the Deep Canal map in PANAMA that you could jump over and skip a chapter.

Gonna put Brigand on the shelf for now (please, for the love of Satan stay there), and get back to work on Warlordocracy Ch.3. You can get the alpha on my Patron, along with Patreon stories, dev notes, and other shit. Gonna post there every Monday.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lcsoftware


Edit: Also uploaded an easier version of Brigand, called PANZY, which you can get from Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/brigandoaxaca/mods/16


When I do come back to Brigand in a couple months I'll add another two challenge maps to BATTLES, try to bypass the corruption caused by anti-virus program when saving your game.

To-Do List:

-Fix shock damage from leaf, heat damage from coins.
-New BATTLES maps from Panama w/ new demons+eggs (raise DLC price).
-New script command to set player death script (instead of gameover screen).
-Trick anti-virus programs in saveGame function.
-Variable speeds on gunshot sounds?
-Place rats in NIGHTMARE/PANAMA?

We have released the much-anticipated fantasy game set in a different world.
"Fantastic Orc," published by Momentum Games, has been released.

This is the first game developed by KUROKI GAMES, and it may have many inexperienced and lacking aspects. We appreciate your attention and welcome various opinions to make the game even better.

We ask for your continued support as we strive to create more exciting and enjoyable games in the future.

As part of the release event, a 30% discount is currently ongoing, so we hope you don't miss this great opportunity.

Thank you.
