Hey everyone, I got a really quick patch out fixing some major issues and making a few balance changes. The response has been amazing so far! Patch Notes 1.1 | 3-30-2020

--Spells--

All spells with Gain 1 Flow : "Gain 1->2 Flow" Flow was too hard to keep going unless you had only Flow spells. Gaining 2 Flow per spell gives you a nice amount of wiggle room for other synergies. This should also help Flow artifacts see more use outside of Flow builds.

Earth Prayer

Gain Flow: 3->4

Rock Cycle

Gain Flow: 1->0 Damage: 40->60 Rock Cycle was a bit too spammable infinitely. This still lets you spam Rock Cycle with the right build, just not forever.

Waterfall

Damage: 80->50 Gain Flow: 1->0 Anchor: No->Yes (also added a green glow when you have flow) Waterfall did way too much damage without any risk. Adding anchor gives some tradeoff for the terrible terrible damage it can deal. Hopefully this helps make Flow more accessible and gives you more freedom with it. I still want it to be a powerful build if you have all Flow cards, but now there's more thought in balancing your stacks with Rock Cycle and Waterfall.

Kunai

Anchor: No->Yes Kunais are a bit too strong right now. Watchlist.

Mine

Duration: 10->12 This should give you a little more time to activate Mine

Sera Cannon

Cost: 2->3 Sera Cannon can be a little too powerful without too much risk. Watchlist.

Shield Beam

Damage: 10->20 Shield on Hit: 10->20 Shots: 4->2 Time Between Shots: 0.11s->0.2s Shield Beam could get a little too powerful with shield upgrades and hitting multiple targets. The shot reduction also makes it feel a bit snappier

--Weapons--

Slightly increased the cooldown for Bullet Hell Gunner's weapons. I want it to be more of a relaxed gameplay option, but their dps was a bit too high to experience the game.

--Artifacts--

Beret

(Shopkeeper starting item) Health Dropped: 90%->80% Shopkeeper was a bit too resilient to getting hit.

Luna

Rarity: 0->2 Pet MaxHP increase per battle: 40->25

--Other--

Co-op

Base mana regen: x1->x2 Allowing both players to cast spells at a normal frequency should make co-op more fun and hopefully a bit more rewarding for the difficulty it adds.

Modding

Added a 'Mods' folder to StreamingAssets Made updates use the 'YourMods' folder Increased font size of mod descriptions Made mods disable achievements Fixed mods dissappearing after updating a mod

Quality of Life

Added a short hold for Skipping rewards, Upgrading, and Removing Adjusted health values for ending bosses Max Mana pact is now temporary during battle Reva's assist is more reliable Artifacts like Uranium that trigger constantly during battle will no longer affect the player while downed Reduced the frequency of attacks in some mid-lategame enemies Reva will unlock automatically at lvl 6 Saffron Chrono kit will unlock automatically at lvl: 4->2 Added 32bit windows support JTang redid Terra's default outfit

--Bugfixes--

Achievements can no longer be achieved via preview The library can now be searched for keywords in all languages You can now click on shop buttons at all resolutions Fixed a softlock in the normal ending loop Generated spells like kunais will now be correctly destroyed in-between battles You can now get skins by meeting achievement requirements again if you didn't reach the unlocks pane before Playtime calculations should now be accurate when saving/loading Adjusted size of boss hitboxes in normal ending Upgrades for spells will no longer double when saving/loading Fixed one of the ending cutscenes that was accidentally cut short Character outfits will no longer show up unlocked multiple times Pacts can now be removed (but not hell passes)

Minor

Fixed startup loading background not showing correctly Fixed startup without Steam connection getting stuck Fixed clicking the back button on the streaming pane Fixed naming issue for Reva - Cyber skin Preview characters no longer move during anchor spells Rocks can no longer get artifact buffs in previews Votes can no longer show up on display cards Music no longer stops if the preview character dies Stats will now update immediately after buying a new artifact Flow can now be searched in the library

--Ending Notes--

The past few days have been super hectic! I'm really happy you all seem to be enjoying the game in the reviews and recommending it to your friends. I wholeheartedly appreciate that.

Coming soon:

Helping slower players where Saffron Chrono isn't enough Making the late game more strategic but still difficult Bugfixes Accessibility options (like a toggle for button Holds) I'm sorry if I haven't been able to respond to you online, I will do my best to catchup with you! Thank you all so much for playing. Don't give up, stay determined :) -Thomas
