Descent into Madness

• Pain My elbows, fingers, knees, toes, hips, neck, shoulders, and spine hurt due to my immune system attacking itself. During the worst flare-ups, it feels like knives are being shoved into my back, and razorblades are being jammed into my smaller joints. Some days, it hurts to walk. Other days, it hurts to sit. Some nights, I wake due to my toes hurting in excruciating pain of all things. I am often maxed out on special prescribed painkillers, but they aren't 100% effective.
• Numbness and tingling In the past month, parts of my hands feel like they've fallen asleep, except they refuse to wake up. They aren't 100% numb, but the sensation is weird; makes typing and holding a mouse quite odd at times. The intensity varies. Occasionally, I have sessions where my feet, legs, and wrists also feel compressed and numb.
• Fatigue This one is the biggest hindrance: I am needing naps more often, and for longer; sometimes two naps a day even. I am most productive and energetic in the morning, but come mid-day and afternoon, I often run out of energy and need sleep.

Still To-do

• Improve Elite healthbars.
• Ensure all weapons have elemental variations implemented.
• Add cool item names.
• Continue implementing the ~120 pedestal offerings and ~260 curses on my list. It's a lot of work, but it's coming along.
• Tidy up enemy AI.
• Add unique icons to the different potion types.
• Add sound effects to everything.
• Spruce up the room themes a bit more.
• Add ability to form parties easily to play with friends online hassle-free via Steam and Discord.
• Make sure everything continues to work online lunar2019deadpanpig

1 December 2015 – Version 332

Monthly leaderboard

• The monthly leaderboard for December 2015 is now live. Good luck!

Fixes and improvements

• Tallowmere is now built with Unity 5.2.3p1.
• Local Co-op: Fixed Jazza's glowballs sometimes dealing damage to the wrong player.
• Local Co-op: Fixed Jazza's swapper orb always affecting Player 1.
• Fixed Archer arrows sometimes passing through shields and bodies.
• Fixed Conductor lightning obstructing Rocket Launcher auto-aim (this was most noticeable for a moment after getting hit by lightning).
• Fixed Leapers not facing you when becoming angry after being touched by a Grenade.
• Fixed floating combat text sometimes overlapping the pause menu.
• Fixed hero sometimes bouncing when landing on a heart or key.
• Fixed the "Return the flag to town" speech being too quiet and off-centred.
• Fixed the "Your health is low!" text sometimes overlapping the menus.
• Fixed tutorial text not hiding if menus were open.
• Lots of memory and loading optimisations.
• Android DLC: The slow-loading Android issue has been fixed thanks to Unity. Initial loading times are now roughly 7x faster. (on my Nexus 9 tablet, loading now takes 4 seconds instead of 30 seconds)
• Android DLC: Fixed a typo on the Room 50 local achievement.

Changes:

• If an Archer is firing at you off-screen, your Rocket Launcher's rockets will now be able to hit things that are far away off-screen for the current room. If the off-screen Archer dies or becomes visible on-screen, the Rocket Launcher's rockets will revert to their default behaviour of being quietly removed if the rocket becomes off-screen and hasn't collided with anything after 0.5 seconds. Basically, this gives you a new advantage against off-screen Archers (and other off-screen enemies at the same time if you're lucky), while retaining original Rocket Launcher functionality otherwise.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with the tutorial text.
• Fixed an issue where Fire Mages would sometimes always face you, even if you were stealthed or not in line of sight.

Android DLC:

• The time-agnostic loading swirl is now only used the first time you launch the game. For every launch thereafter, a new time-defined loading bar will be used instead, giving you a better indication of when the loading will complete.

Changes:

• Added a "No controller connected" alert that will display under Input Options > Device Type if you attempt to select an Xbox or PlayStation controller type when no controller is detected.
• Fixed a hang that could occur when attempting to escape out of the Local Co-op Setup screen.
• Escaping out of the Local Co-op Setup screen now takes you to the home room instead of the title screen.
• Fixed alerts on the main menu not fading out if the game was paused.
• Windows: In the menus, green checkmarks are now green bullet points instead, as Unity and Windows 10 really don't like the checkmark character.

Mac:

• Added support for the PlayStation 4 controller with Steam Link.

23 November 2015 – Version 331

General updates

• Updated the InControl controller plugin to v1.5.12.
• Windows: XInput now works properly with Steam In-Home Streaming.
• Windows: XInput now works properly with the Steam Controller.
• Windows & Mac: Slightly increased the font size of the ▲ and ▼ item comparison indicators.
• Jazza's death fanfare is now played as a sound effect instead of a music track.
• Added a checkmark beside your selected screen resolution in the Screen Resolution options.
• Fixed Jazza's blue swapper orb effect appearing out of place at times.
• Fixed Ice Wand particles not updating their position if you were stunned.
• Fixed a rare issue that could cause a wardrobe malfunction.

Steam Controller

• Created a new profile called "Tallowmere Official Windows Bindings" (I attempted to update the existing profile but it appears changing the title of a profile saves it as a new one). Updated the button labels. This config is the new default and works similar to an Xbox 360 controller.
  

• Steam Controller now works with the latest Steam Client Beta.

• Created a new profile called "Tallowmere Official Mac & Linux Bindings". At this point, the Steam Controller isn't seen as a controller on Mac and Linux, so the bindings emulate keyboard keys.
• To Cancel or Confirm when browsing the menus, use Left Grip and Right Grip respectively.
• Multiple Steam Controllers probably won't work well for local co-op on Mac and Linux at this time.
  

Target framerates

• Desktop: Added an option to limit the framerate to 60 FPS. Available under Options > Video Options > Target Framerate. Default option is set to Maximum FPS.
• Android DLC: Target framerate is now set to 60 FPS, which should help preserve battery life. Previously, the framerate could jump up to 120 FPS which was unnecessary.

Further controller support

• Added Moga Pro controller profile
• Added SteelSeries Free controller profile

1 September 2015 – Version 330
From the depths of Lady Tallowmere's dungeons comes a new breed of stumpy kamikaze creatures called Bloats. Having consumed one too many purple stun potions from their fellow Ogres, Bloats are packed with paralysing toxins, exploding upon death. You're free to use your shield against their self-inflicted explosions. Other enemies in the dungeon aren't so lucky, however, and will get stunned in a purple haze if they keep too close. Or if other monsters you want to stun are too far, you can always lure or push a Bloat into place before it explodes!

Bloat details:

• Bloats do not attack. Rather, they jump towards you when they see you, and make a delightful chirping noise.
• Once they're close enough, Bloats will begin their ritual of plunging a blade into a sweet spot in their belly, causing them to die instantly and explode.
• Bloats also explode if their health reaches zero through other means.
• Bloat explosions are close-range and can stun both hero and enemy.
• You can block the explosion with your shield, negating the damage and stun, or use an Anti-stun Potion.
• All enemies, excluding bosses, are stunnable.
• After exploding, Bloat body parts will fly through the air carrying a paralysing toxin. These purple gibs may look dangerous, but the toxin on these body parts are too weak to affect the hero. Other monsters in the room aren't so lucky however, and will become stunned for a few seconds if a toxin-laden body part hits them. You can also bounce these body parts off of your shield to try and stun monsters from afar.
• Other Bloats caught in a Bloat explosion will explode immediately in a chain reaction, regardless of health.

Other changes:

• The monthly leaderboard for September 2015 is now live. Good luck!
• Added the Bloat Challenge and its leaderboard. Speak to Samuel in-game to start.
• Added a pair of Bloats to the Double Trouble room.
• Slightly increased the coin pick-up radius.
• Demon statues now show a blue indicator when you have a soul group available to turn in.
  
• Updated Anti-stun Potions to cater for Bloat explosions.
• Scorch mark decals are now only created 60% of the time, down from 100%, for performance.
• Added dev console command: spawn bloat

Fixes:

• Fixed voice clips sometimes overlapping.
• Fixed Fire Mage arms sometimes getting stuck in upward positions.
• Fixed a frame stutter issue during the initial kidnapping scene.
• Fixed an issue with the local high score board flashing during the You Have Died sequence.
• Fixed the green ✓ checkmark character not appearing in the menus on Windows 10.
• Local co-op: Fixed player indicators not hiding during the You Have Died sequence.
• Local co-op: Fixed +Health floating texts only appearing on Player 1 instead of each corresponding player.
• Local co-op: Fixed the dev console not showing if nobody was using a keyboard.
• Local co-op: Fixed mid-game input device reassignments not persisting between deaths.
• Local co-op: Fixed red ranged-weapon indicators not hiding after a hero had fallen.

Source code conversion:

• Tallowmere's source code has finally been converted from UnityScript to C#. There should be no noticeable changes in-game.
• Outside the game, any `*.tallowmere` user data files are now considered legacy and will not be written to, though they will still be read and loaded as needed.
• New user data files now end with `*.csharp.tallowmere` and will be created and written to from here on.
• Again, you shouldn't notice any hiccups with this conversion -- this is just a heads-up!

Gameplay video:

Minor updates:

• Fixed an issue where Lady Tallowmere's flag could become undroppable.

• Updated the InControl controller plugin to v1.5.9.
• Added support for the Moga Pro Power controller on Android.

• Updated the InControl controller plugin to v1.5.11.
• Windows: Added option to disable XInput. You'll likely need to disable XInput when using Steam In-Home Streaming with a controller. Toggleable under Options > Input Options.
• Local co-op: Player 1 can now choose Keyboard & Mouse during initial setup.
• Local co-op: Further fixes to ensure mid-game input device reassignments persist between deaths.
