Thank you again for your continued support, patience, and feedback.

This is a small hotfix to resolve hotkey and inventory slot inputs being disabled after the prologue on a fresh new campaign and to slightly polish the lockpicking mechanic.

• Lockpicks are only consumed if you fail the lockpicking minigame instead of upon starting the minigame to increase risk/reward feeling of lockpicking and reduce the grind of gathering lockpicks
  
• The player will now switch to the lockpick item when lockpicking to prevent equipped items from clipping weirdly and to increase immersion
  
• Changed styling of waiting for players and skip video button prompts

• Fixed being unable to switch weapons with hotkey numbers or interact with inventory slots after completing the prologue
  
• Resolved AI re-pathing that would occur if you sold a turret, picked it up, and walked around in your shop
  
• Polished some death box dropping behavior
  
• Increased building integrity of bamboo foundation to match vertical beams and other foundation pieces
  
• Fixed being able to get stuck on the main menu if you spam clicked Join Game or Settings
  
• Fixed item pickup notifications not showing up in certain cases
  
• Reduced length for prologue chair sitting animation to match the cutscene better
  
• Fixed some exceptions

-Toned down "Tougher enemies" battle challenge.
-Made high unit counts from "Extra units" battle challenge less likely.
-AI characters will now better avoid harmful environmental tiles with teleporting and jumping skills, but not completely if they are good positions for using other skills.

-Fixed an exploit that in some cases with good timing would allow player units to attack farther with a normal melee attack than is normally possible.
-Mute setting will now be remembered between game sessions.
-Fixed bug where endless runs didn't properly update high scores.
-Fixed a bug that would cause some event outcomes affecting the next battle to disappear during saving & loading.
-Fixed a visual UI bug where Passing Wisdom buff did not visually update mana points to the current unit's details.
-Fixed a bug with comparison tooltip that could cause it to block the mouse while being invisible.
-Small tooltip adjustment for cloned characters.
-Bleeding will now heal units with Medical Oddity perk.
-Numb perk will now prevent damage from bleeding.
-Fixed damage estimates for Hasty perk (previously the second skill of the turn was also given a lower damage estimate despite doing full damage).
-Fixed a bug where the battle could softlock if the player unit gained the Berserk buff during its turn and used an instant skill after that.
-Fixed a bug that caused AI characters to sometimes prefer using charge skills or pulling skills against barrels.
-Fixed a bug that caused AI characters to think that pulling an explosive barrel next to their own face and making it blow up is a good idea.
-Fixed an issue where few specific events could cause an error if the player had 0 characters in their team.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed default input for roll not properly using ctrl modifier.
  
• Fixed default input for zoom in/out not using ctrl modifier.
  
• Removed camera shake for player summoned infernal.
  
• Fixed issue with Brightwood Requests skipping to last dialogue line.

New:

• Added new talent in fel tree, Ruin: Increases your direct fel damage by 5% per fel burn on the target.
  
• Added resistances to enemy bars, will be looking for feedback on if it's too cluttered or other suggestions. Possibly an option to disable for example.
  
• Added New talent in fel tree, Corrupted Wounds: Reduces healing on targets by 35% (up to 70%) to targets with fel burns.

Fixing the issue of the English version of the conversation with Moni not being executable, I forgot to include " .

* Fixed the bug game not respond when player upgrade furniture.
* Fixed the bug fishes can go through terrain.
* Fixed the bug about item spawn.

* Now, just by approaching the stair, it automatically performs the climb/descend action.

1. Modify the issue where the map rotates when clicking the return to my location button

2. Optimize code performance

3. Other optimization authors are currently researching......

A certain very deadly purple stack of monster has had a some work done, and some bugs related to damage dealt, resistance, and printing damage to the log have been corrected.

Some other fiddly bugs with damage processing have been fixed. What I'm getting at is that some of you got killed unfairly by monsters that dealt damage which should have been processed by resists but instead was just treated as true damage and you ate shit. I'm sorry.

But it also worked in reverse for Rose of the North, which will no longer be able to, for instance, deal fire damage to monsters with 100% fire resist. Again, sorry.

Oh and hey uh some powers the player and their bird had access too also did this and would bust through even 100% resists.

The full screen log can now shift over to show just combat data.

Added more keybinds to keybinds.txt. Still no keybind UI.

Nurphe Bats can no longer undertune or rebalance a Dungeonmans' fist.

Rotating Fire Pillar Traps are now a little clearer about what they're gonna burninate next turn, and they no longer are walk throughable.

The heart particles that got stuck in the world sometimes should not do that anymore. Probably!

If you are running at a high enough resolution, the inventory screen will now show you your elemental resists underneath the rest of the stats. I mean look at all that space. Thanks BuckSilver for nudging me to make use of it.

A whole bunch of love went into the item equipping process. There were some bugs with things like Battlemage and Dual Wielding that made getting the right items equipped a pain in the ass. Should be better now.

Fixed a crash involving the midbosses in the Mountain Fortress.

Fixed a crash where a truly dedicated enemy ninja would try to dodge after he was already killed.

Tried to fix this crash: "I destroyed a staff wielded by a previous Mans, clearly the unleashed magic was too much for the fabric of the universe"

And finally, a comment on this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WXUQgiU7Fs
"It's pretty disappointing that the hate glacier doesn't do a little jump and a roar when you level up, like the battle poultry do. Please implement in next patch."
Done and done! Well there's no roar sfx but all your pets will do little level up hops now.

Hello All!

Tomorrow is the big day, and I wanted to release a final patch of fixes and optimizations before then!



Several minor optimizations in this build should make large-scale combat faster yet again, but the critical testing this week focused on long-running games. As a solo developer, it can be hard to get into the long game, but thankfully, custom mode allowed me to speed things up. What this allowed for is setting up an automated tower that can reach day 150 with minimal work, and I left it running overnight with no troubles!



If anyone does run into any difficulties don't hesitate to join the Discord and ping me directly, I've taken the this week and next off of work to make sure I have time to fix anything at lightning speed.

Thanks as always,
Jason
