Summary It's been a while! I've been making new content, and QoL changes. I figured it's time to update the demo. Here's the deal, though. I recently moved, things have been chaotic.

addedSummaryIt's been a while! I've been making new content, and QoL changes. I figured it's time to update the demo. Here's the deal, though. I recently moved, things have been chaotic. I've also transitioned to a new source control, so I lost some history. As such, these patch notes are probably incomplete. I put in as much as I could remember, but I vaguely recall rebalancing quite a few things, especially challenge mode. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the update! Here's what I remember...

addedFeaturesNew trap: Arrow Rain. This replaces Time Warper. This may only be a temporary change, we'll see. I wanted to give you a new trap to try out!

changedFeaturesDefeat rewards! Sounds crazy, I know. Now you'll keep 20% of the gold and experience, and all of the loot dropped upon a defeat.

addedFeaturesNew Forge UI.

addedChangesMastery expansion and cleanup! I've added a lot of QoL to the mastery trees, and added a whole new one in this update. I'll let you see for yourself. Btw, I also added a hotkey to preview the max level.

addedChangesFlame Jet now has 2 new attach points.

Features

Defeat rewards! Sounds crazy, I know. Now you'll keep 20% of the gold and experience, and all of the loot dropped upon a defeat.
New Forge UI.

Changes

Mastery expansion and cleanup! I've added a lot of QoL to the mastery trees, and added a whole new one in this update. I'll let you see for yourself. Btw, I also added a hotkey to preview the max level.
Flame Jet now has 2 new attach points.
New descriptions for various items.
Replaced some icons with newer ones. Most notably, "Battle" is now "Defend".
Lightning pylon now attaches to the ceiling.
Traps now show fortitude damage.
Added a new UI element for hero fortitude. (It's the yellow bar under their health.)

Balancing

Added a cooldown to the pendulum axe, which can be removed again with enough upgrades. This trap felt a little too strong early game, but it can scale back up to how it was in the mid game.
Loot chests now have a greatly reduced drop rate, but have rewards increased to compensate. Overall, chests should feel less burdensome and a heck of a lot more rewarding. But there's still RNG, so no guarantees!

Bug fixes

I think I fixed a bug related to stacking traps - but I can't remember anymore. Please let me know if you're still able to stack them.
Fixed discrepancies with the functionality of the "Esc" button. Again, please let me know if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Thank You

I just want to thank you for your time and support. It means a lot to me as I endeavor to start a tiny studio that makes high quality gaming content for you! If you're interested in beta, sign up to the newsletter for your opportunity to join the upcoming test.

Thanks for playing! Kalradia

PS: If you join discord and ask nicely enough, I just may add more challenge mode stages for you to enjoy.
