Materials

Materials were a little bit too quick to unlock so Im raising their base prices. Im also increasing the prices of rocks and irons materials upgrades.

  [/*]

Helmet

• Base helmet attack speed : 3.00s 1.5s

  [list]

Familiars

Familiars prices have been a little on the lower side, letting you get super powerful familiars early letting you move a lot faster than you should be able to, Im increasing prices of some of them, to hopefully make it more like they were supposed to be at the start. The original intent was to have each familiar worth it/affordable at each 100 floor. Let me know how they feel now, if theyre now underpowered for what they cost, could boost some stats later on.

Skeleton

Cost: 25k 10M

Spider

Cost: 500k 500M

Version 0.4.0 is now LIVE for playtesters!

This is a big update that shakes up the games progression quite a bit.

YOU WILL START OVER! I have refactored saving/loading code to make it easier to handle in the future. And I havent created a way to port older saves since theres so many balancing changes that progression does not make sense with an old save.

This patch aims to rework how progression works. I made the enemies get a lot harder much faster, as the level cap is 1000. Material upgrades are cheaper to let you buy more equipment to face these new challenges, and changed some prestige prices to incentivize more prestige. You can also now get familiars to fight alongside you which will aid you in your fight.

Share your thoughts on how the new progression feels! Too easy, too fast, too hard Some upgrades too cheap, expensive? Let me know!

I will try and rebalance considering the feedback I get. Ive implemented systemt to help refunds for stuff youve bought if it changes its price if I do big changes.
