Changes

Versions

  • The versions will change going forward. This version will simply be called Version 8 with additional revisions. This is added to better check for save wipes to prevent crashing for users on old patches.

  • Each major update will update the version, and may or may not include a save wipe.

Optimization

  • Changed the compiler to convert code to C++ and run natively on your machine instead of running within a virtual machine. This can cause issues so it is currently experimental. The upsides is that the game runs about 40% better overall because of this.

  • Constitution gained from Strength is now doubled (previously tripled).

Celestial Barrage

  • Completely Reworked, more barrages, more critical chance, more damage. Easy.
