v0.29.12 Update Recap

v0.29.12 Update Recap

Covers v0.29.1 through v0.29.12

• Warden recap reporting has been cleaned up.

  • Broken or clipped recap entries now resolve back to the correct authored ability names instead of degrading into fragments, stray letters, symbols, or `Unknown`.

  • This especially improves post-run recap clarity for Warden primaries and damaged ability labels.

• Level-up flow is now stricter and more reliable.

  • The level-up upgrade screen can no longer be closed with `ESC`.

  • You must choose one of the offered upgrades before combat resumes.

• Vault deposit timing on defeat has been fixed.

  • Losing your final life now banks the gold still in your wallet immediately, before the defeat delay and death overlay begin.

  • Spent gold is still excluded, so only unspent carried gold currently on the Warden is deposited.

• Personal Stats gold tracking has been simplified.

  • The stats screen now presents `Gold Earned` as the main lifetime gold metric instead of splitting focus with a narrower `Gold Picked Up` row.

• Melee `Weapon Range` has been expanded and retuned.

  • Ability Shop `Weapon Range` and trader `Range + Vision` bonuses now correctly extend melee primary reach for Wardens and melee stances that were previously ignored.

  • The upgrade text was updated so it reflects both ranged and melee use cases.

  • Several follow-up balance passes tightened the scaling curve so melee range investment remains useful without overshooting intended reach.

  • The final tuning now uses an explicit per-level progression table for cleaner future balance updates.

• Early-game RPG gear rolls are more reliable.

  • Low-roll non-Unique equipment now falls back to baseline template stats if an item would otherwise spawn with no bonuses at all.

  • This keeps early drops usable and worth selling instead of producing blank gear pieces.

• Map Updated.

  • Erroneous invisible walls were leftover after cleaning up trees on the main map. The invisible walls have been removed.
