Scope

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the scope of what patches were made in the current version.[/spoiler] Patch 15 introduces the final boss area where the player will fight with Selene. We've also tweaked arcane forge's user interface and added new features to it.

Game Elements

(NEW) Life steal mechanism has changed. It now displays a text informing how much the player has healed with the enemy's damage. Also, life steal will benefit from ALL damage dealt to an enemy, whether it was from the player or not.

Areas

(NEW)The End A new area has been added! "The End" is the game's final area and the area where you get to fight Selene, the Dungeon Master. This area is currently a Work In Progress (W.I.P.) and as such, it may have a few bugs and missing art assets. However, it should be playable and enjoyable too! It is still missing final cutscenes, but those will come later ːsteamhappyː Unlike other areas, this area does not randomly generate itself. It is a final challenge for the player and will always have the same shape and monsters in it.

UI

We've changed the way currency is drawn in the game. Every currency drawn will now have marks seperating each three pairs of digits. For example, the number 123456 will be drawn as 123.456

Arcane Forge

The arcane forge is a place where you can forge items and weapons to use in future runs for your heroes. You do so by using recipes collected in the Forbidden Library (random drop from monsters) and by collecting materials from your runs. Whenever an item reaches full stack, it will drop ingredients to be used on the arcane forge! Thanks to everyone who contributed, specially to Steam user Herbrek for the suggestion! (NEW)UI Re-vamp We've changed the arcane forge's User Interface and made it a bit more intuitive. It now has two sections: armory and crafting. Please tell us if you like this UI! (NEW)Equipables Arcane forge now has a new type of item: equipables. Equipables are items that you can carry between runs and that are crafted with recipes. Equipables are common to all classes.

Ingredients

(NEW)Magic Core - Used to craft Herberk's Pendant. (NEW)Ninby's Essence/b] - Used to craft Ninby's Grace. (NEW)Herberk's Jewel - Used to craft Herberk's Pendant.

Bug Fixes

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section contains the bug fixes that were applied in issues detected in the previous versions.[/spoiler] -Collision Systems, huh? - Fixed a bug where the player would go outside of the boundaries of the dungeon. (We're still figuring out why players get stuck on walls, sorry!) -Look Mom! I Just Crafted an Error! - Fixed a bug where arcane forge would crash upon any item crafting. -Arcane what? I just want to play the game... - Fixed a bug where arcane forge would crash upon starting the game (a.k.a. the old system to upgrade the save file has been re-introduced).

Known Issues

Here follows a list of all the known issues and/or suggestions that we've taken a look into but were unable to fix for this patch. Hopefully, this list gets shorter with each patch :) Known Issues -Due to the way the engineer behaves, his spider are dealing more damage than anticipated (each spider is dealing the displayed tooltip damage). We'll try to balance this issue out. -Some dungeons can spawn without any marks. We have special plans for this situation ;) -A new mechanic to cap the movement speed of heroes is needed, due to some of them still going sonic-like when using certain movement speed objects. -The game has performance issues on some areas.

Considerations In Up-Comming Patches

Details of this section: [spoiler]This section describes the suggestion that are being taken into account during the next patches. It does not mean that they will be implemented fully (or even at all). However, it does mean that we liked the idea and will try to implement it! :)[/spoiler] -A GUI that displays buffs/debuffs and extra information about what's going on in the game. Thanks to Steam user Herbrek and Xerxes Asuras for the suggestion! -Quick save and quick load feature. Thanks to Steam user kierasam for the suggestion! -Multiplayer functionality. This feature is an end-development feature but we intend to make it happen! -A page on the main menu that allows you to view all the items you obtained during previous runs, as well as their descriptions. Thanks to Steam users QwiK and Zior for the suggestion!
