ACHIEVEMENTS

I radically adjusted the time it takes to unlock certain achievements, and significantly reduced the conditions that needed to be met. This should improve game balance, game feel, and allow players to fully all the items and combos this game has to offer. Below is an attached image on how to unlock each Achievement. Some are purposefully still left vague.

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

Added in nameplates above NPC dialogue boxes Reduced Number of Levels Needed to Progress through Saurian City by 2 Reduced Number of Levels Needed to Progress through Temple by 4 Start button will no longer appear if you have a save file. This should help avoid accidental save overwrites. Removed annoying saws in 5th level areas. (you know the level) Made shops appear later on in areas, as well as slightly increased shop prices. Made fishing slightly faster. Made the catch pull up animation for fishing twice as fast.

BUG FIXES

Fixed a Bug where Attack Speed Slot 3 in Skill Tree was not updating correctly Fixed a Bug where Crit Chance Slot bugged out, and did not let player keep purchased Crit Chance Upgrades Fixed Music not stopping after Gorgos Fight Fixed Bugs with Enemies spawning in Ground in 4th Area Level Fixed Armored Raptor Mask Falling too slowly Fixed bug where Gorgos cinematic was displaying incorrectly Fixed Progression Bug w/ Gorgos Saying the wrong lines Fixed Cannon NPC Progression Bug where Purchasing the Autograph did not progress the story Fixed bug where Anime Maid Skin was not unselecting. Fixed camera issues in 5th area temple levels. Removed some platforms in 5th area, not respawning. Fixed the achievement Stay Hard! Should be properly working now. Fixed a bug with harder versions of Yax, He now properly turns into a crystal form when going invulnverable and will do so more than once a fight. Fixed bug where players could not shoot up against walls with eye of magic. Fixed bug where plant spawns in 2nd boss fight were dropping loot. Slightly Adjusted 2nd area terrain so that GUI elements do not cover up enemy spawners. Fixed graphical issue with Bleed. Made it so you cannot activate fishing multiple times while fishing. Twin fish meat did not properly appear in inventory

KNOWN BUGS

Achievements on Linux Operating Systems do not currently work Sometimes coins fall into the ground (Godot Physics Engine Bug, Very Little I can do Here) Damaging effects such as poison, bleed, etc. do not visually update, and occasionally bug out boss Hp bars. Midas Ring Bugs HP Bars Tezcatlipoca Mask does not remove all effects sometimes Enemies attack gold Multitudes of other small (and large) bugs in the discord, huge thank you to the community for catching them.

Thanks so much everyone for the amazing feedback, the game will continue to grow and receive updates moving forward! I am hoping to focus on bug fixes and hopefully fully complete controller / steamdeck support in the coming weeks. And if you haven't already left a review for the game, it would mean the world! It directly supports and pushes this game out to more people!
