Contestants!

Such an exciting occasion, my circuits are truly quivering with anticipation! We’ve had a great Streamer Event, with a number of talented streamers playing my game for tons of hours and more than 110.000 hours viewed on Twitch! It has given me a lot of great feedback, especially streamers like Admiral_Bahroo finding some pretty impressive exploits. I have of course rectified these imbalances, and would formally challenge him to complete my show with these updated rules! And now FORCED SHOWDOWN is released! After 2 and a half years of toiling, I have completed the greatest show the galaxy will ever see. Are you ready to participate? If you think so, check out this awesome advertisement I made for it. My empathy-conduit is instructing me that humans like sappy stories, so I must show you this great story about my dwarven workers’ story in getting my show finished. But if you think this is the end of the journey, you are wrong! I will naturally continue towards my ultimate objective; making the UNIVERSE’S greatest game show! Stay tuned for updates, fixes and more! Below is the full changelog for Update 40:

Features

Ruby's bosscards are now in the game.

Balance

Speed of Light duration increased from 2 to 3 seconds.

Scroll of Raining Daggers: Fixed that damage was not being dealt to the player. Clarified the tooltip and corrected it to the right damage number (50).
Taunt: Now only gives health for enemies that were not already aggroed. No longer gives movement boost to enemies.
Masochistic Blade: Mana cost reduced from 4 to 5, damage bonus reduced from 65 to 60%, risk of taking damage increased from 10 to 20%.
Great Balls of Fire: Fireballs now do fixed damage like ability bolts or consumables, instead of scaling the damage with Spin To Win and the player's normal damage bonus + crit. Can no longer hit an enemy with all the fireballs at once by spinning into the middle of it.
Spin To Win: Duration increase reduced from 0.75 to 0.5 seconds.
Flash of Anger: Can no longer build up multiple stacks. Damage increased from +20% to +30%.
Fairy Bottle mana cost increased from 3 to 4.
Call The Sun mana cost increased from 1 to 3. Damage increased by 50%.
Snipe now has correct tooltip and values (+30% stretch).
Aftershock: No longer requires overkill. Clarified tooltip to elaborate that the explosion is larger than Combustion corpse, scales with player/Volcanic Strike damage and can cause chain reactions.
Dropkick of Persuasion: Mana cost reduced from 6 to 5.

Not Today nerfed from 100 to 80 healing.

Allied bannermen no longer heal the player. Other buffs still apply and allies are still healed by him.

Jahun's Stone Prison now spawns a third stone when no stones already exist.

Stayin' Alive reworked: "Lose 10 health every 10 seconds. Kill: Heal 4."
Desperate Survival rebalanced and clarified: "Enemies start aggressive. +400% summoning portal efficiency. Win arena after 30 seconds (45 for boss arena)." Fixed that bosses were not being aggroed immediately.
Gotta Go Fast reworked: "Collecting point pickups gives you +1 (stackable) Movement Speed for 8 seconds."
Chain Reaction increases summoning portal speed by 200%, up from 100%.
Delicate Summons increases summoning portal speed by 200%, up from 100%.
Made harder (enemy count): Patchwork, Slippery Cards (made neutral), Gotta Go Fast, Magnetic Weapon, Puff Party, Two Toys, Rebel Musketeer, Left And Right (gone from negative to positive rule)
Made easier (enemy count): Companion Curse, Soul Break, Magnificence (made neutral), Supporting The Winning Team, Necromancer, Soul Link

Quality of Life

Clarified several card tooltips and boon descriptions.

Fixes

Fixed 2 quests that involved companion kills. (hotfixed in streamer week)
Multiple fixes to daily mode.
Fit as a Fiddle Quest now checks for max health rather than current health.
Spare The Rod quest can now be completed.
Caaareful quest no longer auto-completes.
Fixed an obscure and super difficult way to complete some 'take no damage' quests with a different champion than listed.
Some boons had obsolete buff tooltips, though their descriptions when picking them were correct.
Spare the Rod quest should no longer incorrectly complete.
Flash of Anger should no longer make your character's shots miss enemies.
Fixed a bug where temporary buffs could become permanent when using Flash of Anger.
Fixed some issues with Righteous Replay.
Soul Swap should no longer leave a strafing Ravager invisible.
Fixed some issues with saving graphical settings when quitting.
Fixed a situation that could cause music to disappear.

Lastly, I want to thank all the tester who participated in my show during the early days, your help has truly been invaluable ;) <3 C-SAR

"Extremely fun game with constant action and virtually limitless replayability. Every new battle you start is different, there are endless possibilities of deck building with all 4 characters." - Jyren

"I love this game! I have played many hours of The Binding of Isaac, Terraria, Ziggarut, Rouge Legacy, Risk of Rain and other rouge-likes you probably havent heard of. I have to say this game is among my favorites and its brand new." - Mîchæl

"I wish I knew how to eloquently express how excellent this game is. It just taps so many buttons for me with the nicely balanced rogue-like, the achievable-yet-challenging unlockables, the genuinely interesting deckbuilding, and satisfying combat." - John

"It plays like I always felt ARPGs and MOBAs should - skillshots, accuracy, timing and evasion; button mashing and brute-force will get you nowhere in this game." - Radical "Venom" Max

"FORCED SHOWDOWN combines everything I like in video games.
The combat is skill based and offers on the fly strategy solving skills. It has a great difficulty curve that makes me want to hone my skills to become better as time goes. The card system takes some beats from Hearthstone in how decks are created. Playing cards and combos at the start of each round offers a great way to shake up the rounds." - It's High Noon

"Gameplay: Amazing
Graphics: Godlike
Varity: Great" - Carlolz

"There are tons of cards to collect that, besides all the different characters, companions, monsters, arenas, modifiers and whatnot, add to the enormous variety that makes every playthrough feel completely fresh." - Nachtfischer

May you die gloriously and to great applause!
