Curses Tweaked - Patch 1.0.2:626

Todays patch continues with fixing bugs and tweaking some mechanics based on our observations and your feedback. We are calling this a regular patch since some changes to curses and gameplay are included!

General

• Fixed issue where hyperarmor saved you from being knocked out when you should have been.

• Made turn animations jump cancellellable when fat.

• Fixed issue where you could get a parry even when the shield was hit before the parry window.

• Parry-Fat-Black-fix: Fixed issue where enemies that had invisible hitboxes for checking player in certain actions could make the player enter the parry animation earlier, leading to missed parries.

  • This could also knock out the player with the Chickenheart Curse activated.

Curses

• Bogged now only affects movement, not consumables or interactables.

• While cursed with Famished you receive doubled humoral slop drops (also added humoral slop to Blackbirds' and Grouses' droptables).

• Ice mechanics have fundamentally changed - sidewards momentum jump cancel is now affected by your current sliding speed, making it easier to momentum cancel on tilted platforms.

• Ice platforms now catch you instead of letting you slide awkwardly if you land on a ledge.

• Being overweight gives you freeze frames when landing that can be used to buffer ice jumps (like OG).

• Dysgenesis touch-stun no longer interrupts your animation and instead only knocks you back.

• Fixed a problem with the Chickenheart curse that made you escape knock-out when the shield was broken.

• Made splatting with Brittle bones more consistent when bumping into walls while under water.

Writing Fixes (Spoilers)

• Remove times helped check from bellman clothes gift check (only progress to oldtown matters now)

• Fixed a missing citation mark on featherweight curse description

• Fix missing zanzibart + bk flag in kingswood that made them remain after they progressed to gurglevale

• Append missing sarcophagus line to asian languages

Bellman:

• Bricked bellman save fix: If Bellman's progress is beyond old town, he will move back to his place before he reunites with Percy (so you can get his clothes).

• Fixed the check for receiving Bellman's clothes, which caused him to get stuck in Gurglevale.

• Changed it so bellman can only give clothes before he reunites with Percy in Old Town.

• Added a check so Bellman doesn't speak his introduction in Sewers if his debt has already been cleared.

• Removed Bellman's progress being changed when reaching the ending, so his quest can still be completed after the final cutscene.

• Added missing item descriptions for Bellman's equipment.

• Made Bellman face the right way outside Cave of Glee.

• Fixed the Bellman fungal fields door task so that you correctly either only have to open the shortcut on the left OR the two shortcuts on the right.

Armould:

• Armould should no longer appear in Boglink and Old Town at the same time.

  • Note that you are required to deliver the Gargoyle's Ash to make him return, which was the original intention.

• Made sure Armould doesn't say he'll be moving soon if he is not going to.

• Made it so Armould continues with his nature quest intro until you deny/accept, instead of having to ask multiple times about nature smithing.

• Made sure Armould doesn't repeat his Boglink intro line if the nature smithing quest intro is in progress.

• Fixed so Armould doesn't animate as if he's got his forge in Old Town.

Other:

• Fix some minor spelling errors throughout writing.

• Gladiator repeat line script tweak.

• Praetorian repeat line script tweak.

Localization fixes:

• Patched all current translations to fix some final remaining untranslated lines.

Sound

• Added missing sfx to player's Phantom Justiciar's Gavel, Phantom Warlord's Combo and Phantom Rapier.

• Polished Redcrown Bugle's sfx and added tones to chain attacks.

• Fixed Vanquisher boss song loop, increased song and swing sfx volume slightly.

• Increased reverb in Vanquisher boss room.

• Improved and matched the audio mix in Gregg's boss room to the rest of the game(lower hammer impact, lower music, different rain mix).

• Added ambience to second and third phantom boss room (fire & thunder).

• Lowered volume of receive item sfx.

• Lowered volume of credits song.

• Fixed incorrectly routed mixer tracks that caused reverb from weapons with VCA at 0 to be audible, sounding bugged.

Misc

• Converted humor-root materials to the nexile shader (improving yield fading visuals).

• Fixed colour of boss-humorjar material to be yellow again.

• Specified armor type for Bellman torso and legs (fix correct resistance values).

• Brownkloake now sells Black Underwear and Orange Wool Underwear.

• Yellow Wool Underwear is now part of the Jumper's set (OG Jump King) pickup in Kingswood.

• If you missed getting the Yellow Wool Underwear from the chest, Brownkloake will sell it to you instead.

• Fixed a problem with a trigger which caused the map clouds for the frog cave in Mangrove Pits to remain unless you fell into the cave from Lower Redcrown.

• Fixed so you can't peek out of the rooms in Duke's Dilemma by hanging or splatting.

• Removed a light and added a hidden wall in the first Phantom Backroom.

• Fixed Shielded Guard's droptable to only drop 1 Nascent Doubt.
