Major Update (New Boss, Nightmare Challenge Mode, New Skills)

Crush the Industry - cognoggingames

Hi friends. We have a big new content update for you and an announcement!

Here's what's in the update:

A New Boss Encounter: The Mad Maestro (and his frog quartet)! Defeating the High Priestess of Creative once will unlock this as an alternate boss encounter for the second floor.
Nightmare Challenge Mod. You wanted a tougher challenge beyond Corporate Hell? We heard you. This mode is so dang tough that even we can't complete runs most of the time. Enabling it (without other mods) and beating the game will unlock special trophies for each character in the Milestones section. Good luck! You'll need it...
New Skills. Four brand new skills have been added: Chomp, Meat Shield, Mind Palace, and Energy Swap! These were designed to pave the way for new build strategies (e.g. Max Health, Rethink/Cycle).
New Random Event. Look for a new zombie-like horde event on the first floor. Will you crawl under a smelly dumpster or run for it? Additionally, the "community award" event now features an option to pawn the trophy.
Other Changes:
- Charge and Paint skills now display expected total damage in parenthesis. These skills now calculate damage normally and only apply Power once (effectively a nerf to Fia, but she's still plenty strong).
- Brainstorm skill has been reworked (including an updated visual effect).
- New Talent: Meathead.
- Capitalist talent has been reworked.
- Blockbuster skill changed to deal 1x/2x damage (down from 2x/3x).
- Slightly increased damage for some CEO and Taskmaster attacks.
- Well Prepared talent changed to give 3 Rethink (down from 4).
- Chairshot skill changed to deal 10/15 damage (up from 9/14).
- Catharsis talent changed to restore 2 Sanity (down from 3 Sanity).
- Minion Manager talent can now level up to 6. It takes quite a few more consumables to reach this final level, but it should feel better scaling into late game.
- Added a pulsating effect to the Rethink glyph and tooltip. This disappears after a player has used Rethink a few times.
- Various bug fixes.

Several late additions (including another event and several talents) just missed the cut, so there's more to come. Expect hotfixes and smaller updates in the coming weeks.

Now for that announcement: we'll be featured by Sodapoppin (on Monday June 2nd) and Kripp (Tuesday June 3rd) next week! We can't wait to watch them try the game and would love to watch it with you. We'll be sure to update everyone in our Discord channel when they go live.

Additionally, Crush will be on a big 40% off sale next week for the Turn Based Thursday Fest on Steam. That will kick off Monday morning. We'd love your support and help with getting our game noticed.

On that note, I want to thank our dude Frost Prime for all of the support he has given us over the past two years. Check him out if you haven't already. Don't know if he'll read this and it's probably not the right place, but I don't care. If you like the gameplay and humor in Crush, you'll probably love his stream and community.

That's it for now. Thanks for playing and giving us your feedback (and bug reports) in the Discord channel.

-Super Bosses are guaranteed to drop one 'Super Item' which is a special armor, weapon, spell, bow, firearm, or throwing weapon bag that has increased and potentially godly stats.
-Super Bosses spawn with one of nine special stat bonuses which are chosen at random and impart their special stats onto their mob members. Super Bosses receive an increase to all base statistics in addition to their special stat bonus.

Armor Stat Updates

-we've done an update to armor stats that makes better equipment a bit more common and rare/legendary armors now have even more impressive stats.

Lighting adjustments

-for improved daytime shadows and darker nights, to compensate for the slightly lower visibility at night we've added a new light to all torches that is enabled when held or placed in the body storage.

Melee Slashing Attack homing update

-The Melee 'Slashing attack' is now a homing projectile that seeks out enemies

Wrapping up Mystveil quests with an epic reward

-The Mystveil temple has been packed with new ideas and unique quest rewards, for those who make it this far we've prepared a very special reward

Press Trigger to use Salvage Potions

-new way to activate the salvage potions

Legendary Smithing Hammers

-elemental smithing hammers now give higher smithing bonus.

New enemies

-A new type of enemy that has a second 'super' phase that engages at below 50% hp

and FINALLY, Seated Mode!

-enable seated mode either in the game settings menu or use hot key F7

As always we really hope you are enjoying your time in the game and look forward to hearing any feedback and suggestions.

Update Progress and Preview Release

Firefighter Connor - 小小小宇宙XSSPACE

Thank you for your continued interest in "Firefighter Connor"!

First, I sincerely apologize for only now releasing this small update since the previous update announcement! The reason is that as an indie developer, my development progress tends to get delayed by various distractions and daily tasks. I want to apologize again to all friends who are still following and supporting the project!

Current Update Progress: All new script content has been completed, and production of corresponding CGs, background music, and other content has begun.

The update content expands upon the previous story and positions the current chapter as a prologue, so this chapter is being released as an update preview.
The update content is expected to double the text volume of the current version, while also including additional CG and OST updates.
All of the above content will be released as free updates - please look forward to it!

This Update Includes:

Added 1 new preview chapter
Updated 4 preview chapter CG images (CG pack DLC also updated simultaneously)
Updated 1 new original soundtrack (Original soundtrack DLC also updated simultaneously)
Fixed some CG images (CG pack DLC also updated simultaneously)
