Patch 0.9.0.3 contains an important QoL improvement and several bug fixes!\n\n

Quality of Life Changes

\n
• Various team menus (such as swapping to different Rogumon) now show that Rogumon\'s health status. Hopefully this will prevent accidentally swapping to and losing low health Rogumon!\n

Bug Fixes

\n
• Several RNG-related inconsistencies across saving/loading have been addressed. If you quit in the middle of a battle, that battle should _always_ have the same enemies when you return\n
• Addressed several issues where health bars wouldn\'t disappear properly\n
• Fixed an issue where it was sometimes impossible to navigate to team and item menus from the map (despite appearing that you could do so)\n
• Fixed an issue where the Willful One icon could erroneously appear in an additional Rogumon slot\n
• Fixed small typo in the move \"Static Burst\"\n
• Added clarifying text to the move \"Obscure\"\n
• Fixed potentially incorrect names displaying for Rogumon in the pre-run starter select screen\n

Patch 0.9.0.2 is here, with some significant QoL changes (and a few other improvements).\n\n

Quality of Life Changes

\n
• Shop and item menus no longer filter by entry type, but instead use these buttons as \"jump to\". (So, if you want to see the Rogumon you can get in the upgrade shop, for example, instead of turning off all non-Rogumon filters, now you can just click the Rogumon button and you\'ll jump there)\n
• Shop and item menus will now be sorted! Items will be grouped by equipment vs. consumable and have a few other subgroupings (all bells will be together, as will scrolls). Beyond these distinctions, items will be sorted alphabetically, except for bells, which will be sorted in effectiveness order\n
• The non-battle team menu will now indicate that you can change the order of your party\n
• The current zone text now no longer looks like a button\n

Balance Changes

\n
• The effect Rooted will now wear off when its instigator leaves the field. (No more Verav ambushes ruining runs!)\n
• In Despair\'s boss fight, Despair now only has 5 Rogumon (instead of 6). Additionally, Despair is slightly weaker than before\n
• The ability Clockwork has an additional effect if the associated Rogumon is holding the item Broken Clock (newly added)\n

New Content

\n
• Added new item Broken Clock: If the holder has any abilities that trigger at the end of the turn, trigger them an extra time\n

Thanks so much for supporting Rogumon in its Early Access debut! I\'ve got some more changes I\'m working on, but in the meanwhile, here are some bug fixes and a few balance changes.\n

Bug Fixes

\n
• Fixes a UI bug that could lock up the game on the character select screen.\n
• Fixes a UI bug that could allow certain \"decision\" menus (i.e. learning a new move) to overlap with summary menus\n
• Fixes several UI issues on gamepad/Steam Deck that could prevent input from being registered appropriately\n
• Moves the Quit Game button to the bottom of the pause menu\n
• Prevents releasing the team\'s Willful One when obtaining a seventh Rogumon\n
• Update erroneous text on \"Storm Barrage\" (it now correctly states that the move hits 3 times)\n

Quality of Life Changes

\n
• For gamepad/steamdeck, the default selected move will no longer be reset each turn\n
• The game\'s version number is now displayed on the main menu\n

Balance Changes

\n
• Arken has a new ability, Sinkhole. Arken\'s old ability, Stoneskin, is still available at Replace Ability encounters\n
• Increased the buff per stack of the \"Second Wind\" passive (15% -> 20%)\n
• Slightly increased the damage per hit of \"Storm Barrage\" (5 -> 6 base power)\n
• The ability \"Focused\" now also prevent Root\n
• Minor improvements to the enemy AI in the Guardian boss fight\n

Rogumon is now out in early access! Experience the complete journey of gathering a team of Rogumon as you face the ever-shifting dangers of Torment.

What\'s Different Compared to the Demo?

• Each run is composed of three zones, each culminating with a boss, as opposed to one. Each zone is also slightly shorter than the demo\'s

  [/*]

• There is an additional unlockable playable character

  [/*]

• There are a total of 52 Rogumon (51 of whom are obtainable)

  [/*]

• There are additional items and abilities

  [/*]

• The difficulty has been adjusted

  [/*]

• Alternate passives for playable characters are not available (this will be a more fleshed out feature in a later update)

  [/*]

• Playable characters have unique unlock scenarios

  [/*]

What\'s Next?

In future updates, I hope to add these major features:

• Additional difficulty modifiers, with corresponding unlockable rewards for clearing runs with them

  [/*]

• Different passives for each playable character, allowing for more team playstyles

  [/*]

• Alternate bosses for each zone. I would like it to not be deterministic which boss appears in which zone

  [list]

• This will also likely mean more unlockable playable characters

  [/*]

In addition to these major features, I hope to add:

• More Rogumon, items, and abilities

  [/*]

• More encounters

  [/*]

• Bug fixes

  [list]

• Of the bugs I\'m aware of right now, many have to do with gamepad/steamdeck input and improper menu stacking issues

  [/*]

As always, thanks for playing!

The free demo for Rogumon is out now! If you feel like giving it a try, and especially leaving feedback, it'd go a long way toward helping me improve the game. It's pretty challenging, so expect to take multiple attempts to succeed.

For those who have played already, the latest update adds achievements (in addition to a bunch of bug fixes and QoL improvements). There are 5 to unlock, so give it your best shot!

I'm hard at work improving the game, so expect more bug fixes and improvements soon. Please let me know what you'd like improved in the Discord or in a review.
