We've just released our first content update! We're adding 4 new story encounters, 1 new patrol and a brand new boss battle. We're also adding a slew of new features and improvements, most of which came directly from user feedback from the Steam community. A big Thank You! to everyone who took time to send us their feedback and suggestions! Some highlights include:

• A rework of the Druid and Plague Doctor skill trees.
• Adding a second set of Keys for keyboard mapping.
• Redoing the way the sound volume 'ducks' during spell casting.
• Adding a count of chests/gatherable available on the map, shown on Patrol nodes.
• A lot of balance tweaks.

Weekly Progress Report

New Content and features:

• Adding 4 story battles, including a big boss fight and 1 patrol battle.
• Adding treasure opened/max and gatherables to Patrol nodes information on the world map.
• Adding visuals for Night Embrace, Thrown Dagger, Charge, Electroconstrictor, Alicorn.
• Adding a new option to the character customization to force use the default outfit for the class (similar to the class hat behavior).
• Adding a button to use "default looks" when customizing a character's looks. It will use the default hat, outfit and color but retain other selections.
• Adding support for other languages. The game still only has English built-in (until release, where we'll have a lot more languages), but fans can now create new languages instead of simply replacing English.
• Adding a new effect for maps: heavy rains. A few maps will use the effect randomly.
• Updated many dialogues from community feedback, to make them clearer.
• Updated most dialogues from "Yate's Cabin" story events. We'll be collaborating with a writer named Scott Hamm when it comes time for our final polish phase, and this is a preview of what his help will bring to the game.
• Adding a 2nd set of key bindings and changing default bindings.
• Updating Unity version. Should be transparent to users.

Balance:

• Significantly changing Druid and Plague Doctor skill trees from feedback from the community and, especially, from Starsinger (thanks a lot for the awesome ideas!).
• Moving Insight to Alchemystic.
• Changed Reiner's starter class to Scoundrel.
• Changing MVP AP bonus from 25% to 35%.
• Applying various changes to the MVP formula to make it a little more likely to trigger.
• Reducing the MP gain of Boon from 20% to 12%.
• Adding Scoundrel 4 to Reaver requirements.
• Increasing MP cost of Poison from 4 to 6.
• Increasing difficulty of the Restful Stones encounter by increasing the minimum enemy level from 12 to 14.
• Updating the patrols min and max levels of many maps (especially early maps as the story progresses).
• Updating default patrol ranges for maps without information, to better match other values.
• Lowering gold gains from battle rewards a little bit.
• Updating the passives of many monsters and any Bzil that might use them.
• Updating "dodge type counters" and "counters that don't buff self" to not trigger when the user has sleep on them.
• Counter Critical Mirage will not activate if the target already has mirage on before the attack.
• Items will no longer bypass all counters.
• Lowering Evasion passive from 25% to 20% for real (it was previous lowered to 20%, but a bug kept the value to 25% anyways).
• Changing Sorcerer's spells to hit "all enemies" rather than "all targets". This will remove their perpetual need for Smart Casting (and prevent possibly overpowered heal+dmg all builds).

UI:

• Adding an error message when trying to equip a passive/counter while not knowing any, to make it clearer one could be equipped at a later time.
• Adding volume control for UI and Ambient sounds. Changing default music volume value. Adding 'default' setting to options. Resetting previous settings.
• Redoing a lot of the internal works of the sound engine. When the music gets dimmed during abilities, it should feel a lot smoother than before.
• Adding an error message upon starting the game if there was a problem parsing the custom data.
• Adding an error message upon starting the game if there was some weird critical errors with reading/writing config data.
• Renaming Slow to Mass Slow to be more consistent. Renaming "Counter" to "Counterattack" so it's less confusing with "counter abilities".
• Making selecting a class sprite in the class selection menu easier with the mouse.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixing an issue with many tunable values being read incorrectly and having a much higher 'minimum possible value' than intended.
• Fixed a bug where the "You have AP to spend" arrows in the menu would show in weird locations on resolutions below 1080.
• Fixing "you have AP to spend" arrows being misplaced with a very large army in the menus.
• Fixing Know Weakness II's description displaying the wrong %.
• Fixing a few more small issues with some gamepads.
• Changing the way gamepads, KB/Mouse are handled in game. Now, whichever the last output that was used (KB or Gamepad) will dictate which icons are shown. The mouse will need a KB/Mouse press to be shown again if the last input was a gamepad.
• Fixing 'reset key bindings' not working correctly in the key remapping menu.
• Fixing issue where the world map would use the "pixel perfect" setting for battles if it was changed from the world map.
• Changing default value for "pixel perfect battle" to YES.
• Fixing a crash when using debug option to show enemy traps with maps that start with pre-created traps.
• Fixing a visual glitch when accessing the Class Change menu with a very large army.
• Fixing issues when using Dual Wielding passive with Focused Rage passive.
• Fixing a rare issue with some spells acting weirdly.
• Fixing missing icons on key remapping menu and in some other menus.
• Fixing missing title in key remapping menu.
• Fixing a bug where Flash Strike would not correctly bypass Mystic Shield.
• Fixing bug where AI would use the wrong range for attacks after using a "teleport tile".
• Fixing an issue with reading text files saved using a different encoding than UTF8.
• Fixing various issues with Patented Usage.
• Fixing an issue with Bzaro's class information about flying/floating not being shown correctly on the 'top information box' in the class selection menu.
• Fixing an issue where Bzaro could equip the same passive 2x under special circumstances.
• Fixing an issue where badges names would become 'visible' in the crafting menu even before you discovered them. The fix is not retroactive though: if your badges are 'discovered' on your save file, they will remain so after the fix. But the issue won't happen in a fresh game.
• Fixing issue with Critical Counters not updating the timebar visually immediately after activating, as well as counter haste not removing slow correctly.
• Fixing an issue where Guest characters could get an MVP. Really, they should never be MVPs to begin with but... just in case?
• Fixing a leak while using the class change screen.
• Fixing issue with LT/RT buttons targeting an invisible enemy in combat if there are no enemies left.
• Fixing issue with Sunder applying when it shouldn't.
• Fixing bug where Thorns would counter "GP Stolen".
• Fixing issue with the trap-icon showing on top of everything else after the trap is placed.
