Small update 0.8.7.1

Changes in 0.8.7.1

Some balance changes and small improvements while we get ready to release Stage 4. Details below.

• Adjusted cyber blade base damage from 65→70. –Dev note: Cyber blade was a little too weak overall, this buff will help it scale slightly better

• Changed cyber blade weapon art to be more dynamic. –Dev note: The old art was… not great.

• Energy Burst knockback AoE increased slightly.

• Attack damage upgrade increased from 5 → 7.5% per level. –Dev note: Another change to help with scaling, this attack damage boost will help player progression in later stages.

• AdjustedFloppy Disks default max range buffed slightly –Dev NoteFloppy disk range slightly increased to help with viability at medium-short ranges

• 2 Dimensional Disks firing rate (time to complete a circular rotation) buffed from 4 seconds → 3.25 seconds –Dev Note: 2 Dimensional Disks were slightly underperforming compared to their regular counterpart, this buff makes them more useful from a functional standpoint

• Reduced starting cost of Advanced Weaponry upgrade from 1500 → 850. –Dev Note: We always want to promote build diversity as much as we can, and we’ve decided to further drop the cost of Advanced Weaponry to make it a more attractive upgrade choice

• Added a passive experience multiplier for harder stages –Dev note: This experience bonus should help incentivise playing the more challenging stages, and make it slightly easier to reach higher levels if you’re having a good run.

• Changed Poisonator ultimate weapon art. –Dev note: The old version was leftover temp art, now it has dedicated sprites.

• Fixed bug causing Crystal Cavern enemies and terrain to sometimes spawn inside walls

• Fixed crash related to using Rat GPT’s Spray and Pray ability with certain weapons and ultimates.

• Misc tweaks and minor changes.
