30XX 1.4 Patch Notes - February 21, 2026

Hello! It's been a minute - I hope 2025 treated you well. 30XX Patch 1.4, the Exiled Heroes update, is now live! Patch 1.4 introduces Exile Mode, a spicy new way to play 30XX. Exile Mode places an emphasis on risk, reward, and loot - battle through spicy maps with dangerous and g

Hello! It's been a minute - I hope 2025 treated you well. 30XX Patch 1.4, the Exiled Heroes update, is now live!

Patch 1.4 introduces Exile Mode, a spicy new way to play 30XX. Exile Mode places an emphasis on risk, reward, and loot - battle through spicy maps with dangerous and goofy modifiers, find Augmented Cores, Weapons, and Powers, each with their own set of random modifiers, and hunt for the mightiest gear while carving a path toward the Final Tier!

(Note: Exile Mode is currently a single-player only experience, but co-op will come to the mode as soon as we can. Once this patch is pretty stable, we'll work on bringing it to the Switch, as well. All the content in this Exiled Heroes update is free for all players, and contains no purchased DLC. We just missed working on 30XX a bit, and thought we'd whip up a fresh take on the game for you to dig. If it ends up being popular, we'll make more of it!)

Full notes below. Thanks for playing!

UPDATES:

Added Exile Mode! It's accessible from the Main Menu.
A few semi-spoiler-y details follow. If you want to go into Exile Mode totally blind, don't read these.
- In Exile Mode, you'll choose levels to tackle of increasing difficulty, one at a time. Like Mega Mode, death will only send you back to HQ - unlike Mega Mode, the levels are still fully randomized every time you enter a stage.
- Everything in Exile Mode has mods - levels, Cores, Weapons, Powers - both positive and negative. Tougher stages yield mightier rewards! You can only use one of each Core, so you'll be constantly finding new items, comparing their mods to the stuff you've got, and spotting cool combinations to help you wreck shop.
- Battle your way to the Final Tier in both Softcore (death just sends you back to HQ with your gear and items intact) and Hardcore mode (death resets your progress entirely) for the ultimate challenge.
Changed how a few enemies interact with Dustria Spring Platforms to be a little more predictable.
Removed acid trails from Watergrav Waterbombs.
Limited the max fall speed of several enemies that probably should have had fall speed caps from the get-go.
Deconstructor's Might AOE radius increased by 25%.
Handful of chunk fixes.
Recolored Beta Bouncy enemies. (They were *so* close in color to the default alpha coloring.)
The following enemies no longer "range out" in Contemplation Rooms and wait for the player to get closer before acting: Bouncy, Shield Turtle
Lots of other little tweaks here and there.

30XX 1.3! Dally Character DLC & Patch Notes - Sept 19, 2024

Hello! Hope you've had a lovely summer - today, we celebrate the season's sunset with two twin releases - 30XX Patch 1.3, the ETERNAL CHALLENGE update, and Dally's Feline Fury DLC ! Patch 1.3 introduces Dally's deadly Catastrophe Armor to 30XX as our first DLC character. All of P

Hello! Hope you've had a lovely summer - today, we celebrate the season's sunset with two twin releases - 30XX Patch 1.3, the ETERNAL CHALLENGE update, and Dally's Feline Fury DLC!

Patch 1.3 introduces Dally's deadly Catastrophe Armor to 30XX as our first DLC character. All of Patch 1.3's other features are totally free to all players, including:

Dolto, beloved training dummy, as a playable character (Delta's Revenant)

Boss battle updates - all bosses have been updated to be more dynamic both early and late in your runs, including a new EX-mode Entropy Cluster option for spicier battles

Eternal Challenges - new permanent non-leaderboard challenge runs with wild rulesets to overcome

Altphases for all 8 levels - alternate level flows & miniboss encounters for every stage!

Full patch details below. Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Introducing Dally's Catastrophe Armor, a fully new character with 15 unique rapid-firing Primary Weapons, 9 new Powers, 8 Supers, and a bevy of new mechanics:

Powerful NRG restore mechanics: Each of Dally's whopping 15 Weapons has a distinct NRG restore stat - she regenerates NRG via combat much more quickly than most characters, allowing for free-flowing use of her Powers
Unique Charge mechanics - Dally's weapons cannot be charged. Instead, attack hits build Charge that fuels her mighty Supers, and effects that impact Charging affect these instead
Brilliant Bells: Instead of normal Character Augs, Dally finds Bells, which are upgrade items that can be applied to *any* of her abilities (Weapons, Powers, or Supers) to boost their effects! Attach the Homing Bell to grant any of your other ability projectiles homing properties, the Bell of Novae to make any ability fire more projectiles in random directions, or the Vengeful Bell to make her abilties free to use when taking damage!
Between the 11 upgrade Bells, 15 Weapons, and 17 Powers (8 Supers, 8 Normal) Dally has access to, her loadout variance is near-limitless.
While Dally is paid DLC, the rest of patch 1.3's content is free for all players. You can get her DLC here!

Everyone's favorite punching bag, Dolto, enters the battlefield with a few punches of his own!

Dolto is Delta's Revenant character - a special hardmode variant with a twist. While Delta is offered three choices in his own Challenges, Dolto must take all three any time they're offered - even in action, he's sometimes still fate's punching bag.
Like Delta, he can use all of Ace and Nina's Weapons and Powers as he comes across them in runs, and like Vika and Jest, he starts with lower HP and damage, but can take all offered Prototypes instead of having to choose, and rerolls the Trader more efficiently.
Like the rest of patch 1.3's content, Dolto is free for all players, and is unlocked by having both Delta and the other Revenant characters unlocked. (If you have both Vika and Delta, you'll already have Dolto.)

Introducing Eternal Challenges!

Eternal Challenges are a permanent spin on our Flavored Leaderboard challenges - instead of only being able to play a given Challenge Flavor when it's available in a daily/weekly, Eternal Challenges introduces 21 new rulesets for you to dig into.
Each Challenge comes with some combination of starting loadout changes, penalties, and bonuses for the player, designed to change the way you interact with the game and make decisions
These are not leaderboard seeded, and available whenever you want to play them (hence "Eternal").
A few of them are character-specific, and all but one work in co-op (it adds an item that doesn't spawn in co-op).
Completing one awards 3 Shards on your first completion.

Boss updates! All 8 main stage boss encounters have been updated to varying degrees, including one total rework (Lethal Tempo).

In general, these updates have a few major impacts:
improving fun & fight replayability, usually involves making fights more dynamic,
letting bosses scale more naturally from earlygame to late via their moveset (all bosses will have abilities they don't use in the first few levels, and abilities they only use late - many of these are brand new!)
the addition of an EX bossmode Entropy Condition - when enabled, bosses will spawn at their toughest moveset, with special EX-only abilities for maximum spice

Introducing 5 new altphases!

Altphases are alternative level generation flows that change the way a level works, including new chunks, altered miniboss encounters, and more!
We introduced 3 of these in 1.2 - today, all 8 stages have one!
By default, you'll see ~2 of these a run, but the spawn chances can be changed via the Environment Configurator Memory Index upgrade.

Added 10 new Augs and 3 new Prototypes. (This doesn't count Dally's new Mod Bells.)

Added the Signal Wheel in online co-op! Hold Activate Thing to use.

Nina now gains 1 NRG per hit (up from 0.5). The previous bonus ensuring 1 NRG on hit for enemies killed in one hit has been removed (increasing Nina's regen vs. bosses and tanky foes while not changing it vs packs of Flapps).

Added the Day of Midgard upgrade in the Memory Index. When enabled, a portal spawns at the end of every level leading directly to level 9 - enter if you dare.

Added some new character palettes!

Owlhawk's Reign (Body Core) redesigned: Power Kills now charge a barrier (2 stacks per kill, 3 with Resonator, barrier activates at 20 stacks) instead of healing you.

Owlhawk's Focus now increases Power Efficiency by 50% (75% resonated), up from 33/50.

Lara (Ace Weapon) damage increased to 35 base (from 25 - +40%).

Shadowdash effects (Volt Tackle, Crushing Slam) no longer move faster with higher speed - they didn't feel super predictable to use. They still scale damage with speed, though.

Shield Statues in Zen Primus' fight no longer scale their HP with Faithmetal Flock.

Dashing attacks (Dig Zones, Unstoppable Force, etc.) no longer have their damage decreased when below 0 speed.

Fixed shops items from your previous run persisting when a saved run exists, but you decide not to load it.

Fixed a Nina Juice Beam Bug.

A certain lategame event now changes the NPC lineup in HQ. Also added a new endscreen to one of the game's endings.

Entering a Digzone now immediately refreshes the cooldown on Digdashing (so if you dash from one Zone into another, you can dash again immediately).

Improved camera smoothing when leaving a Digzone, resulting in a little less "snap" back toward the player. (This especially helps when the player quickly enters and exits multiple zones.)

Improved Digzone entrance detection slightly (especially from below).

The Environment Configurator (the Memory Index entry) now lets you control how frequently altphases appear for each level.

Environment Configurator options are now saved between sessions.

Added the Phase Modulator to the Environment Configurator Memory Index entry, which lets you control the spawn frequency of each level's altphase.

As Ace/Delta, picking up a Technique while holding Secret Techniques now resets the buff (for all techniques, but practically this only affects the end-of-stage tech).

Edges of Madness (Prototype) can no longer reroll Scrapbits.

Improved background transition fades in a few places where it could behave poorly.

Fixed Ellie sometimes spawning Shield Statues in incorrect locations.

Contemplation Room enemies now count for Dracopent/Owlhawk Body Cores, Renewal Pod, & Armoreal Pod.

Dustria Contemplation Room timers up to 20 sec.

Updated or removed some outdated tips.

Homing effects no longer seek a certain endgame boss's first phase.

Fixed Shopaholic not respecting Best Friend.

Fixed potential softlocks when obtaining both Zookeeper's Burden and Best Friend.

Overkilling Loot Omega now limits the potential nut drop count to 2x the normal max (the normal max is 10). This means using massive overkill effects on Loot Omega still gets you way more than you normally get, but doesn't endlessly shower nuts every frame until it reaches the end of its death-path.

Fixed Copy effects being able to target Revenant characters' explainer augs.

Fixed an issue that could cause camera slowdown if a player plays the game for awhile, completes Echocave, then joins a fresh game session hosted by another player.

Fixed Angle Bolters sometimes being misaligned relative to the Maker.

Gauntlets will no longer spawn in new Mega Mode files with Asceticism turned on.

Chaining effects (anything that causes a homing bounce) now reset projectile acceleration to zero.

Fixed Delta not properly showing the icon for Power 6 once acquired.

Fixed Bashing Dash activating on certain already destroyed enemies.

Bashing Dash now grants recoil when hitting invulnerable enemies (as opposed to dashing into them and taking damage).

Fixed an issue causing black borders on high resolutions in loading screens.

Fixed an error causing your partner's projectiles to have incorrect lifetimes on your screen. (This was an old one!)

Fixed a few instances of enemies being slightly misplaced sometimes relative to their Maker placement.

Entropy Conditions no longer reset after Rush Job.

Laser Snakes (Deepverse) now grant a base of 5 seconds in Contemplation Rooms, up from 2.

Fixed Deepverse's Patrollers sometimes getting stuck on walls.

An HQ object that was not previously interactable is now interactable.

Added corpse visuals for all characters.

Stance Lock now locks your movement in the air.

Fixed Delta sometimes not using the proper animation for Osafune.

Fixed Delta's torso sometimes having an incorrect offset when using a Nina power.

Fixed homing enemy projectiles not always targeting players under reverse gravity.

Fixed Severing Link not refreshing Dolomite Link when hitting Anchor Mines.

Fixed Exploding Barrels not colliding with one another.

Fixed Conveyors hit by Ryuusei still animating.

Fixed Conveyors hit by Ryuusei emitting a bunch of sparks after the game was paused.

Improved hit detection on the Leg Guardian's dash attack.

The "leftover Entropy" prompt no longer appears for the client in online co-op.

Fixed Exploding Barrel spawners sometimes having wonky hitboxes for the client in online co-op.

Fixed Bounce Beam and Remnant of Sound affecting Highvault's meteors.

Fixed players sometimes being visible before teleporting in.

Fixed a sound persisting in the true ending when it shouldn't.

Unstoppable Force's dash is no longer stopped by ceilings.

Fixed an endgame boss sometimes spawning statues in weird locations.

Fixed rendering issues with the item display panel.

Fixed a community level camera issue when placing Dustria's boss arena and miniboss arena too close to each other.

Updated icons in the World Configurator.

Background transitions now have a brief fade, in case the chunk doesn't cover it up.

Fixed an online co-op community mode issue where the host would sometimes think the client has an Autotank.

Fixed Maker music not playing while the game is paused when playtesting a level or chunk.

Made Lethal Tempo's achievement more lenient (destroy all clockfaces within 3 seconds, up from 1 second).

Fixed minor mistakes in some datalore entries.

Fixed an issue where the final boss could teleport abruptly.

Fixed Re-Flapp not working if you have exactly 2 of them, then sell 1 to the Trader.

Fixed Anchor Mines rendering their chains early in Contemplation Rooms.

In community levels, items placed outside of chests no longer produce explosions and screen shake.

Still Waters 2 now removes all of Delta's Hype stacks on hit.

Glorious Returns no longer causes Cosmic Flapps and Exploding Barrels to drop Nuts.

MAKER UPDATES & FIXES:

Added support for Dally and her new weapons and Bells.

Added the relevant new Augs and Prototypes.

Added Dolto (the target dummy) to Level Mode.

Highvault's Cloud Shooters now show a preview of the clouds they spawn, and how far they travel.

Deepverse's Patroller now has a more accurately sized sensor.

Hello! Delta's been out for the better part of two business-type weeks, so we're just posting the collective fixes we've made over the past bit here. 1.2.4 released last night, but these notes contain most of our fixes (and changes) since last Monday.

Hope you've been digging Delta's design - thanks for playing! 30XX will remain on sale on Steam for a few more days through the weekend, then it's back to normal.

GAME FIXES & CHANGES:

Delta's Lethal Evade now always damages foes (even without charge - but charged will deal more!), and no longer costs NRG.

Fixed enemies sometimes dying to lava when they shouldn't.

Fixed an issue that could cause an invisible, sometimes damage-causing entity to annoy you in Level 9.

Fixed Water Block Switches having a slightly incorrect position.

Charm now affects the Mega Mode shop.

Fixed an issue where salvaging a Repro after picking up Best Friend would prevent you from picking up future Repros.

Charging Magnet now draws in pickups by holding the attack button, regardless of character or equipped primary.

Fixed the palette machine having incorrect text in some languages.

Fixed being unable to pick up unsalvageable Augs with Soul Scrapper active.

Fixed Deepverse's Wall Lasers granting nuts upon disappearing with Glorious Returns.

Fixed a typo in Hoot Omega's datalore.

Fixed the Charm Aug having incorrect text in some languages.

Attempted a fix for players sometimes being visible before teleporting in.

Fixed Delta loading the wrong combo fx palette (only really relevant to modders).

Fixed a few mapdata issues.

(Switch, when available) Fixed an issue causing the Character Select highlight in the Level Catalog to fail to appear.

(Switch, when available) Fixed an issue with Nina's Powers in co-op picking up oddly.

Fixed a mapdata issue causing a potential Watergrav softlock.

As Ace, Autoloader now swaps both your equipped Weapon and the Weapon you have on Bladeswap (so it effectively gives you a fresh Weapon pair every time it triggers).

Fixed some weird Leviathan interactions.

Thirsting Glory (Delta Aug) now triggers on-kill, vs. on-hit, but restores 2 per (up from 1 per). Might still be too strong. (Non-English tooltips will be updated soon.)

Fixed Vibroharvester for Delta. (It charges both weapons.)

Fixed a few Vagrant Arm interactions with Ace. (It's now slightly better than before, but mostly the same average.)

Fixed an issue where Delta with both Negation Pulse and Shield Link could be Real Bonkers.

Fixed an issue causing Nina augs to spawn for Delta in Challenges.

Fixed an issue where encountering certain alt-stages at levels 6-8 could cause extra crashy portals to spawn at level's end.

Fixed an instance in online co-op where the host rerolling the Trader could occasionally also reroll the client.

Fixed an incorrect draw offset when using Lara and Void Double at the same time as Delta.

Fixed an incorrect chest orientation when shooting as Delta with a Resonant Chestplate.

Fixed a typo in Capital Punishment's datalore.

Delta's Dawn: 30XX 1.2 Patch Notes - April 15, 2024

Hello! Hope you've had a fine 2024 to date - it's about to get a little more GLORIOUS! Today's 30XX 1.2 Patch, DELTA'S DAWN, introduces Delta as a playable character to the game. Delta plays as a highly variable hybrid character between Nina and Ace with unique spins on weapon ch

Hello! Hope you've had a fine 2024 to date - it's about to get a little more GLORIOUS!

Today's 30XX 1.2 Patch, DELTA'S DAWN, introduces Delta as a playable character to the game. Delta plays as a highly variable hybrid character between Nina and Ace with unique spins on weapon charging and NRG that reward fast play and calculated aggression, and he's unlocked the same way the Entropy Cluster is (spoilered details on that below). 1.2 also introduces the first of our ALTPHASES, new level alternate level design features added to Burning Temple, Highvault, and Deepverse that'll shake things up from run to run. It also adds a new enemy, a handful of new Augs, a new button for all characters (most notably providing Ace with a new Bladeswap ability), a new Shortmode option called Ephemeral Journey that makes the game a tighter, tougher 5 level run, and much more!

Delta is free for all players of 30XX - unlike 20XX, we've decided to try releasing 30XX's first new character for free, instead of making it into a paid DLC. This is kind of an experiment for us - we'll see how it goes! To celebrate his release, 30XX will be at its lowest price ever on Steam - 30% off, or $14 USD - for the next two weeks. He'll go live on Switch soon, as well - just waiting for the update to pass their certification.

GAME FIXES & CHANGES:

Delta debuts! I'll spoiler tag the character's mechanics below in case you'd like to discover them for yourself. Unlock note (spoilers): Unlocked the same way the Entropy Cluster is -- either a game win or 5+ level 5-or-higher runs will unlock Delta. Players who have already achieved this will see a Delta unlock pop-up immediately when starting the game, and will not have to re-unlock him.

Delta wields both Ace and Nina's weapons and powers, and is encouraged to aggressively switch between them as the situation demands to sate his need for Glory.

Weapons: Delta can use most of Ace and Nina's weapons, and begins the game with both the N-Buster and the A-Saber bound. He can only use one Nina beam at a time (no stacking). When completing a Contemplation Room, he'll receive either an Ace or a Nina weapon at random. Delta can't find Ace's weapon augs.

Instead of charging normally, Delta charges his Weapons by using them - three Nina hits charges the next Ace attack, and vice versa.

Weapon hits build Hype. At 20+ stacks, Delta can press RT (the previously unused button) to consume them and become Glorious, fully recharging his NRG and giving a damage/speed boost for 5 seconds. Hype does not decay when hit (unlike Ace). Activating Glory is Delta's primary NRG recovery mechanism, so you want to time the activation such that it'll give you lots of extra juice for your Powers while also being in position to utilize the damage or speed buffs Glory grants.

Powers: Delta can find both characters' Powers - at the end of each boss fight, he'll be offered one at random. Delta can find Power Augs, but can't fuse Powers. Because of his rapid NRG recovery via Glory, Delta's Nina Powers have a base cost of 2x their Nina cost. Delta's Powers are bound like Ace's Techniques (and his Nina Powers default to their Ace-technique-counterpart keys). Delta doesn't have Unleash Blade - a few Ace weapons work differently to account for this (For example, Edgewall is the shield by default, and fires the charged boomerang when the attack is charged). Aiming Gear aims automatically.

Added Alt Phases, intended to spice up level variety between runs. As of this patch note, three levels have alternate phases (Burning Temple, Deepverse, Highvault) - if you encounter these stages on level 3+, they might spawn with a few twists!

Added a new button that performs a different action depending on your character.

Nina's action is Stance Lock, keeping you in place and letting you aim your weapons more easily.
Ace's action is Blade Swap, letting you quickly switch between primary weapons.
Delta's action is Glory, which consumes active Hype Stacks (if 20+) to grant full NRG and a temporary speed/damage boost.

Added a new Highvault enemy, the Storm Demon! Watch the skies. Caw.

Added a new Aug: Charm, which lowers shop prices by 20%.

Added datalore for enemies and bosses. (Note: These are currently in English only. It's a lot of words.)

The Entropy Cluster now shows your current entropy level on the machine.

Entropy Conditions are now saved between sessions (Standard Mode only).

Moved a few Entropy Conditions that did not increase Entropy Level into the World Configurator, a new device next to the Entropy Cluster.

Added a new World Configurator option: Ephemeral Journey, which halves the amount of levels in a Standard run. (The run will generate five levels instead of 10, at difficulties 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9.)

If you've completed a run before, you can now skip the escape sequence through a green teleporter.

The final level is now guaranteed to have a slot machine.

The Speedwalker achievement now requires a completed run within 32 minutes (was 28).

The Speedy Pilgrim achievement now requires a completed Pilgrimage 2 run within 40 minutes (was 35).

Repros are now a bit rarer, and have increased shop costs.

Vagrant's Dissonance (Arm Core) is now less insanely busted than before. Mathematically, it's about a 25% increased damage multiplier still. (Down from.. a lot more than that.)

Vagrant's Waltz (Leg Core) reworked a bit

instead of the unwieldy blinkdash, dashing while overheating now starts an Unstoppable Force-style movement. This is usable while horizontally airdashing, and is awesome.

Vagrant's Yearn (Body Core) now uses a small amount of Corruption when releasing a damaging Nova while overheating (so it isn't permanent, endless giga-damage with the resonator and full set).

Added some new Character Palette options.

Ace, Jest and Delta can now re-order their Powers even with Still Waters active.

Zen Disciples now have a minimum time before they can divekick at you, so they're a little easier to get under from point blank.

Slot Machines now have the very rare Super Jackpot, granting three Augs at once.

When attempting to salvage an unsalvage-able Aug, the game now displays a popup to inform you. (Instead of just picking it up.)

Astral Terminus (Power Aug) now lets Ace destroy vending machines with Ryuusei.

Fixed vending machines visually sticking around when destroyed with Crushing Void.

Arrow Blocks now have a tell when they're about to disappear, and give a bit more leniency before losing their collision.

Improved behavior when Arrow Blocks collide with each other.

Fixed Water Platforms and Hydrophobic Platforms appearing a little higher than they should.

Fixed background filters sometimes not covering the whole screen with certain scrolling backgrounds.

Fixed Doppelgel being able to duplicate Triplicate Spirits (and causing weird behavior).

Laurent's Evade now ends when making wall contact (so you can jump immediately).

Autoloader now grants additional benefits when Resonated (more Beams for Nina, Weapon Aug benefits for Ace).

Fixed corpses displaying ERRSTR.

Fixed a misalignment in L10's "inside" background.

Chronovane pieces can no longer spawn in Slot Machines (preventing an awkward situation where one is slated to spawn late in a run in one - this makes it easier to complete).

Spoilers for updates to a certain endgame quest below - click at your own risk!:

Removed the Symbol of Peace as a prototype. You can now start a "peace run" through a portal in the Rev Device room. (This was done to eliminate the inherent RNG involved.)

You can now talk to bosses when you have the Symbol of Peace.

MAKER FIXES & CHANGES:

Added Delta and his new Augs.

Added the Storm Demon enemy to Highvault.

Moved character-exclusive Augs into their own categories, for clarity.

Echobeast now has the correct palette.

1.1's new Augs now have localized text.

Fixed an issue where background tiles could not be deleted if an asset on a disabled layer overlaps them.

Fixed Power/Weapon Augs being selectable for Weapon Blocks.

Revenant's Rise: 30XX 1.1 Patch Notes

Hello! Today's 30XX patch is our first Content Update since release a few months ago: 1.1, Revenant's Rise, is here! It's free for all players (no DLC or anything, just new stuff). Patch 1.1 adds two new Challenge Characters -- Revenants -- who use Ace and Nina's mechanics, but w

Hello! Today's 30XX patch is our first Content Update since release a few months ago: 1.1, Revenant's Rise, is here! It's free for all players (no DLC or anything, just new stuff).

Patch 1.1 adds two new Challenge Characters -- Revenants -- who use Ace and Nina's mechanics, but with substantial limitations to offer a fresh challenge. It also refreshes Glory Zones and Contemplation Rooms by adding a new type of Zone objective, an Entropy Condition that spices them up, and new ways to score both! 1.1 adds four new Entropy Conditions, including fan-favorite Endless Endeavor, which lets you continue to play stages to your heart's content before entering the Endgame. It also adds 21 new Augs and 4 new Prototypes to keep the spice flowing, reworks resurrection in co-op play, updates most of our menu UI screens with better visuals and layouts, updates how files are created in Mega Mode, and fixes a million other smaller issues! Please see the details below for more info.

As of this week, 30XX has also sold 100,000 units! Thanks for choosing to spend your time and money on us so we can keep making great stuff for you to enjoy. 30XX will be 25% off through the end of the week on Steam.

Special thanks to our Superfriends and folks who played the game on publictest to help get 1.1 ready for you to devour - we hope you enjoy it, and look forward to even more content (and more playable characters!) in 1.2 in a few months.

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:
- Added Challenge Character variants for Nina and Ace!
- Unlock spoiler - do not hover if you want to discover this on your own: Complete a run at Entropy 5 or greater.
- Added 21 new Augs and 4 new Prototypes!
- Added four new Entropy Conditions! One of them is Endless Endeavor, which will keep the journey going past level 8 until you decide to finish the fight.
- Updated Glory Zone and Contemplation Room mechanics!
-- Timed versions of both zones return! Slaying enemies during these events will push the timer back slightly (in a way that scales with Faithmetal Flock Entropy ranks).
-- Added a new GZ type, "touchtargets"! These are more open-ended platforming segments that ask the player to sort out how to efficiently navigate dangerous rooms, rather than being linear challenges.
-- The new "Twisted Glory" EC adds additional hazard conditions to GZs & CRs.
- Revamped Mega Mode's campaign setup & generation. The "File Select" screen is now a playable space, and is where you'll set up the parameters for the run you're about to generate (players, characters, Entropy Conditions, etc). Accordingly, these devices have been removed from Mega Mode HQ.
- Updated file save system for the "core" game save file. The game will now create an automatic backup save in case something awful happens to the first one. When attempting to load, the game will automatically load your backup save if the first one fails.
--- NOTE: This version of the game attempts to read save files in the order "30XXv002.sav, 30XXv002backup.sav, 30XXv001.sav". This build will write to 30XXv002.sav and 30XXv002backup.sav, and will not write to 30XXv001.sav. (This means your old save file will remain untouched once starting to play 1.1.)
- Added a character palette selector to HQ! Several new character color palettes can now be unlocked during gameplay. Unlock 'em all!
- Updated the visuals and layouts of several menus and UI elements.
- Reworked co-op Resurrection! Revival Pods are gone, and players can now be revived when the other player has killed 20 enemies by pressing Interact, or when defeating a boss or miniboss. This action also no longer requires the reviving player to sacrifice HP.
- Loot Omega now flies to the end of his chunk when slain (so its reward always drops in the same place, preventing some feelsbads with rewards dropping in bad spots).
- Unified Entropy progression for Mega and Standard modes. The game now also checks on startup to make sure that your purchases and the number of Shards you have align with your current Entropy progress, granting you any missing Shards. (You may see your Shards increase after this patch in case your file was missing any - you will not lose any.)
- Mega Mode save files now require the correct number of players to start. (A file started as a singleplayer file is now forever a singleplayer file, and the same for co-op. Co-op files may be started as local co-op or online co-op, however.)
- Network disconnections in Mega Mode now return both parties to the Title Screen.
-- The two above changes are for gameplay stability purposes - completing a level as a disconnected client in Mega Mode, for example, didn't accomplish much, since the host saves the game data, and completing a level with a disconnected client could result in lost items/etc for the client.
- Event hazards that target a player directly (mostly special events in alternate levels and Delta's "Haunt" condition prior to this patch) now target one player at random in co-op play (instead of both).
- Fixed an issue causing recently spawned Cosmic Bats to not always deal contact damage.
- In online co-op, the free Core granted when acquiring a Resonator with no matching cores is now synced between players.
- Acquiring a Chronovane piece now greatly increases the chance of another piece spawning.
- Acquiring a piece of the Vagrant's set now increases the chance to find the others if you have at least one victory, and haven't completed the relevant event.
- Gave Ace "dash up" and "dash down" animations.
- The effect that Ace creates upon releasing a level 3 charged attack now turns green alongside his Saber.
- Updated the lives icons in Ellie's Gauntlet.
- Fixed the Memory Index toggle not always working correctly for overclocked upgrades.

30XX 1.00.19 Patch Notes & 1.1 Sneak Preview - October 2, 2023

Hello! We're back from vacation, so we're back with another set of fixes and changes in today's 1.00.19 patch. These patch notes summarize the changes since our last Steam post (1.00.16), so they include the fixes in 1.00.17 and .18, as well. We're working on scope for 30XX's fir

Hello! We're back from vacation, so we're back with another set of fixes and changes in today's 1.00.19 patch.

These patch notes summarize the changes since our last Steam post (1.00.16), so they include the fixes in 1.00.17 and .18, as well.

We're working on scope for 30XX's first major post-release content patch (1.1) this week - if there's something you'd love to see in the game now that we've got time to make it (items? systems? polish?), we'd love to hear it!

Here's a sneak preview of some of the things we're working on that might be part of 1.1:

Challenge characters! Vika and Jest return, at long last. They play similarly to Ace and Nina, but with a much more difficult ruleset.

Glory Zone & Contemplation Room updates! Timed challenges return, with a twist. New challenge types & mutators to existing challenge types keep things much fresher than now!

Mega Mode setup flow update - we're looking at decoupling Mega Mode game setup (multiplayer, entropy) from the actual stage select screen to make this a much more intuitive experience.

Entropy Conditions! Hopefully at least two new ECs joining the fray - one that limits Core and Resonator usage, and one that limits facetanking (by applying a Delta-challenge-like damage penalty when you get hit).

A bunch of new Augs! Likely in the 10-20 range.

Menu improvements! A few UI screens could use some love.

And a few other things we're not sure enough to talk about yet! We haven't set a release timeframe for 1.1 yet - we're targeting some time before the end of the year, but that's a pretty loose targeting.

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Added an option to toggle Memory Index upgrades (via a prompt in the Memory Index).

Fixed an issue between The One and Only/Doppelgel and Thrift Actuator.

Fixed an issue causing Level 9's boss to occasionally summon statues in inappropriate places.

Hopefully resolved a crash in online co-op when fighting Legacy. (Please let us know if you experience this after 1.00.17!)

Fixed Hoot Omega falling through the floor after dying.

Fixed The Volunteer having no effect.

Hopefully fixed Penumbra's Orb Platforms sometimes leaving solid collision behind when deactivated.

Fixed pickups not bouncing on Spring Platforms outside of Dustria.

Reduced the momentum from pickups bouncing on Spring Platforms.

Fixed pickups not respecting Gravity Zones outside of Watergrav.

Fixed resonated Patchwork Integrator nerfing your damage more than it should.

Fixed some Autodrone fusions being affected by Zookeeper's Command or the Zookeeper set bonus.

Fixed visual issues with Scatterblast during corruption.

Fixed overclocked Choicebooster not always putting a shop item on sale when it should.

Fixed an attack of one of the final bosses not having the correct properties.

Fixed one of the final bosses occasionally not stopping a sound properly if its projectiles are vaporized.

Fixed some text on the HUD not respecting the "UI opacity" setting.

Fixed some of Nina's fused Powers having inconsistent animations.

Fixed boss gate transitions occurring twice when the Symbol of Submission is active.

Fixed more bosses showing up than intended in the "Targets Slain" section of the death screen in Mega Mode.

Fixed a layering issue with the explosions from Experiment 9's shurikens.

Fixed a level theme being able to show up more than once in Mega Mode when boosted through Environment Configurator.

Vagrant's Waltz' blink dash now damages enemies.

Fixed an occasional crash when revisiting a Very Safe Lab in an already completed level in Mega Mode.

Fixed the Soul Scrapper challenge condition not affecting the other player in local co-op.

Picking up an Resonant armor piece you already have now automatically salvages it.

Fixed special levels sometimes not counting towards level progression for Save & Quit. Loading your saved run after this happens could result in level repeats or crashes.

Fixed level 2 Re-Flapp sometimes being unable to target certain enemies.

Fixed certain kinds of meteors being affected by the "reduce projectile clutter" setting.

Fixed the Salvager Circuit description referring to the old salvaging system.

Fixed an issue causing weird behavior when trying to join a player from the main menu (instead of being in HQ).

If you have the Symbol of Submission, Augs that give you buffs on level start now trigger when you enter the next-stage teleporter (as opposed to not at all).

Fixed a rare crash possible when hitting Fallspikes as Ace.

Picking up a duplicate Resonant Armor piece now grants 25 Nuts, as opposed to salvaging it.

Fixed Ryuusei's spark balls sometimes detecting invisible floors.

Fixed an unnecessary camera zoom-out in Dustria's miniboss arena in community mode.

Fixed Crushing Slam not being affected by Coup de Grace.

Fixed Owlhawk's Reign not playing a sound effect when it restores health.

Fixed Crystal Spawners not granting Ace HP when killed by Leviathan with Sacred Minnow active.

Fixed Remnant of Determination reducing your invincibility frames under certain circumstances.

Fixed Kinghealer and Kingseeker not working in combination with the Symbol of Submission.

Fixed the Clockzone miniboss despawning if you move too quickly.

Fixed Voltage Vampire not receiving the damage buff from Supersonic Bolt.

In challenge modes, Flapps charmed by level 2+ Re-Flapp now grant points upon being charmed, rather than upon hitting an enemy. This should make sure the player can always get points from them, even when there's no enemies for the Flapp to home in on.

Fixed a player's flight or hover not being canceled when their movement locks in some scenarios, sometimes leading to softlocks.

Fixed Delta's A-Saber throw not damaging Nina.

Duplicate Weapon Augs and Remnant Augs now grant Nuts instead.

Removed placeholder text on the Environment Configurator menu.

Fixed some music progression bugs in the final level.

Fixed big nuts granting only +5 (instead of +7) nuts after acquiring Market Fluctuations (and Gears of Industry) with a Prototype Resonator active.

Fixed an issue where the second player in local co-op would sometimes spawn in with incorrect collision fixtures, or occasionally being invisible.

Fixed High Velocity not properly working on Nina's base attacks.

Fixed an issue that could prevent the Honor and Glory achievement from triggering properly.

Added two Lore Terminals to the final Rev Device level.

In the level catalog, you can now pick your character(s) in the catalog menu itself. This is not supported in online co-op.

In the level catalog, if a level only allows one character, this character is now automatically selected for you.

When returning from a level catalog level, the catalog is now automatically opened on that level's level card, in case you want to save the ID or vote on it.

Fixed an issue where choosing Standard Mode could sometimes spawn you at the machine you last used, rather than the player's normal spawn point in HQ.

Fixed an oversight where you could use banned characters in community levels by playing it through the Maker's level catalog.

Corrected the position of silver and blue chests in community levels.

Fixed Facesmasher sometimes getting stuck after a Contemplation Room transition.

Fixed some buttons visually overlapping on the pause menu on Switch.

Textures that are still loading are now invisible, rather than a black box, to hopefully make this a little less jarring.

Reworked Hoot Omega's projectile spread on level 8 to be easier to dodge.

Polished how the Symbol of Submission behaves. Boss fades no longer occur, and some bosses have new animations in this passive state.

With the Eye for an Eye condition active, enemies killed during a Dolomite Link activation can no longer retaliate.

Fixed Ace's A-Saber throw damaging Nina in co-op.

Burn for Glory now triggers the health loss when Ace attacks, as opposed to when his slashes deal damage. (The effects with Lucavi/Edgewall are unchanged.)

Delta's Challenge restrictions now end when the boss of the level dies (instead of at the start of the next level). This mostly only matters for the "No Cores" condition.

Shopsmasher now also reduces the Salvage cost of Shop Augs when using Charisma Protocol or Blood Price to buy items.

Corrected an error where a few Prototypes that didn't make a ton of sense in online co-op spawned anyway. (Notably, Wincing Clover.)

Fixed an issue rarely causing Standard Save & Quit-runs to reload as Community Runs. (This could only happen if the player, earlier in that session, played a Community Run before the affected Standard Run.)

Fixed a few Nina shot types not having their lifetimes correctly modified for the other player in online co-op.

Level 9 Boss no longer has a few summons that also drop Memoria after the encounter.

Fixed Anchor Mines appearing to begin a pilgrimage to the promised lands of Narnia when the only player nearby enters a teleporter.

Multiple Gapminders now stack better (if they've been Twinified, mostly - one will now activate after the other, as opposed to both at once.)

Leviathan no longer explodes helplessly against Echobeast's Sonic Bouncers.

Shield Statues can no longer protect some enemy types they don't normally encounter.

Fixed some scaling on Thorned Revenger. (It'll now scale properly w/ Familiar Level & player Bonus HP.)

Fixed Dolomite Link not properly receiving Power Scaling from Hoarder's Might.

Fixed a bad Revive Capsule placement in the endgame.

Core Genesis no longer triggers naturally in-game once completed. (It's still trigger-able via HQ.)

Fixed a Score error in Challenges (level 8 triggering your time bonus twice, and level 10 not at all).

Fixed some ancient bad teleporter collision box stuff. (In general, in-level GZ teleporters should have a slightly better collision surface.)

MAKER CHANGES & FIXES:

Added support for Remnant Augs, Power Augs and Ace's Weapon Augs.

You can now pick separate playtest characters for players 1 and 2 in co-op levels.

Added Top Shelf to the Aug list.

Removed Grazing Harvester from the Aug list, since it wasn't functional.

The Level/Chunk Mode descriptions on the main menu now have a backdrop to make them easier to read.

Fixed an issue where copy-pasting spikes may cause their angle to be saved incorrectly.

- Fixed Deadly Precision (Ace Tonbokiri Aug) interacting poorly with Unstoppable Force.

- Pressure Strikes and Coup de Grace now grant one stack per hit per copy held (instead of not stacking).
- Fixed Ol' Reliable not ol-reliably-triggering as Ace.
- Changed the settings menu structure. A new category for Outline Options has been added, and some of the Advanced Options have been moved to Visibility Options.
- With "Reduce Projectile Clutter" active, Verity Beam can no longer trigger bullet transparency on its own.
- Fixed some effects, such as Burning Temple's petals, counting towards the projectile limit for "Reduce Projectile Clutter".

- Fixed wall explosions building up while the game is paused after an endgame boss fight.
- Fixed the Body Guardian bumping into walls from too far away.
- Fixed Zen Vortex, Zen Protector, Seeking Striker and Zen Heretic not respecting reversed gravity.
- Fixed Crushing Twin spawning too high up under reversed gravity.
- Fixed a rare "Help, I'm stuck" issue in community runs that could softlock you in boss rooms.
- Fixed instances where the player would visually and audibly appear to take damage during certain invincible states. No damage was actually being dealt, but it gave the wrong impression.
- The cutscene skip button has been moved to Activate Thing, so players don't accidentally skip a cutscene while trying to charge their weapon.
- Fixed some decoration misalignments in Penumbra's Leg Guardian room.
- Fixed a softlock in the Maker's Chunk and Level tutorials.
- Fixed a visual issue causing Hoot Omega's "frozen" animation to not play properly.
- Contractor Beta now grants 3 to all stats when picked up with Prototype Resonator (up from 2).

- Fixed players sometimes being unable to navigate their own Trader or Reward Selection menus for a few seconds in local co-op.

- Fixed the position of the Shield Statue barrier on Laser Snakes.
- When playing a community level, the name of the level is now displayed on the pause menu.

- One of the endgame bosses now displays damage numbers properly.
- A certain Echocave event is now guaranteed to spawn when the appropriate conditions are met.
- Delta is now guaranteed to show up on level 7 to help you achieve a certain level-related objective (if his help will get you over the line).
- Fixed one more Gapminder issue causing him to slack on the job.
- Fixed Ace's starting loadouts in a few replayable alt-levels.

- Fixed an issue with the "Soul Scrapper" challenge flavor causing the granted Shopaholic to behave poorly. Soul Scrapper now also properly starts you with Smuggler Attractor.
- Trader deals now respect Scrap Sleuth.
- Reviving your co-op partner now sets their gravity to that of the reviving player.
- Remnant of Flame's barrier check now happens after Vagrant's Yearn (Body core), so it won't be spent if Vagrant's Yearn would have prevented the damage anyway.
- Fixed Shield Bash and Fatal Fury tooltips.
- Fixed an issue where defeated enemies could still block attacks while Delta's "Spectres" condition is active.

What We're Working On - August 21, 2023

Hey, folks! It's been a week since our last post, so we're updating here to sum up this past week's various fixes and tweaks to 30XX, and indicate what we'll be chewing on this week. Today's hotfix summary brings us up to 1.00.12, the current live build - 1.00.13 will be coming t

Hey, folks! It's been a week since our last post, so we're updating here to sum up this past week's various fixes and tweaks to 30XX, and indicate what we'll be chewing on this week. Today's hotfix summary brings us up to 1.00.12, the current live build - 1.00.13 will be coming today or tomorrow.

As long as we're patching frequently enough to warrant it, we'll continue to make these posts - eventually we'll slow down and start working on the game's first post-1.0 content patch.

I'm sorry to report that we still don't have an update about our Switch release - we'll update you as soon as we do.

NOTE: Please see this thread if you're having issues with your game saving. We've seen four players have a related problem so far, and in all four cases, something in their computer's config was preventing access to Documents/30XX - it's usually Windows Defender flagging the game incorrectly.

Thanks for playing!

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON:

Permanent Upgrade toggles, so you can customize active upgrades from the set you've purchased (in case you want to turn some of them off)

Updating a few out-of-date tooltips & fixing some text errors

Updating localizations in several languages in response to player feedback

Misc. game fixes

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Fixed an issue causing text overlap in some languages in the Memory Index and Entropy Cluster.

Fixed weird behavior when completing multiple runs with different endings in one session.

Fixed some Memory Index entries having overlapping names and descriptions.

Fixed some instances of text being larger than their containing button.

Buttons on the pause menu are now larger in certain languages to make their text fit.

Fixed the final boss gates potentially locking out the client in high-lag situations.

Level 8 boss achievements are no longer achieve-able in alt level versions.

Absolution's dropped Scythe no longer triggers a warning indicator once you walk offscreen.

Rerolling items can no longer result in character specifics Augs in co-op games with both characters active.

Fixed an error causing Watergrav FRO-6 acid to split the wrong way in online co-op.

Fixed an issue causing alt levels to roll during Leaderboard Challenges.

Fixed a rare issue that could cause Glory Zone teleporters to fail to teleport the player to the correct place.

Renewal Pod no longer drops an item immediately when loading a save (allowing a patient player to load/reload over and over for health or nuts).

Fixed an issue where toggling Autocombo in the pause menu, then changing another option, could revert your Autocombo toggle.

Fixed an issue causing text to not properly reload in a few places when switching language settings.

When rerolling the Trader's Offer, the exact item offered is now blocked in case the same reward type is rolled again.

Fixed an endgame miniboss occasionally not being attackable by Ace after a certain move.

Instances where the client gains nuts in online co-op (say, because of a duplicate Core) now properly sync nuts gained.

Instant teleporters in online co-op no longer trigger the "warp" effect when your partner enters them.

Fixed Deepverse Wall Lasers not respecting Armatort's set as the client in online co-op.

Fixed the host being able to start the run without the other player having readied up.

Re-enabled trader re-rolling in online co-op.

The Client in online co-op can now accept Delta's Boast.

Fixed an error causing the Trader to offer player 2 more Core Extenders than intended in online co-op.

Disabled Shopaholic in multiplayer while we rework it.

Fixed an endgame issue that could prevent progress online if the host is dead entering a certain endgame area.

Fixed a rare crash that could occur when starting local co-op in an old Mega Mode file.

Save and Quit now properly remembers what items were in the last level's shop.

Reboot now properly scales with bonus Reboots & other Repro effects.

Fixed a potential crash as you defeat Legacy.

Fixed a hitch on some lower-end systems when defeating Lethal Tempo

Fixed a rare online co-op crash.

Fixed the background during the last level in Rush Job.

Fixed the first phase of the final boss sometimes facing the wrong way.

Hopefully fixed the final boss sometimes dying early (for real this time).

Fixed Sage Beam being able to trigger some old Autodrone fusions.

Gave a hitbox to one of the attacks of the stage 9 boss.

When the health bar type is set to Hybrid, bars of Armor can no longer overflow off the edge of the screen.

Fixed dialog boxes in HQ sometimes not showing up after you complete a run.

Fixed a softlock in a secret level if the player has too little Max HP.

In Rush Job, Augs that increase a stat on level start, now immediately apply their effect when picked up after defeating the boss. (This means items that apply on pickup and on level change will now apply twice if picked up after the boss room.)

Fixed an error causing Save and Quit to occasionally save/reload incorrect run timers.

Added some new Visibility Options!

"Show Chunk Name" is now disabled by default.

Added an option to hide the version number on the top-right of the screen (the option to hide this is enabled by default).

Added options to reduce projectile clutter when there's a lot going on on screen. This option has four values - currently, the default will alpha fade your partner's Repro attacks in online co-op. You can also make it fade all of your partner's attacks when the screen gets busy, *all* attacks, including your own (again, only when the screen gets very busy), or disable this setting entirely. We may change the default here in a later patch.

NOTE: This Option's definitely a little on the experimental side - tell us what you think!

Added an option to disable boss hit flashes.

Vital Crystal's damage now scales with bonus health again. (+50% per additional Vital Crystal level, +1% per additional Bonus Health.)

Fixed Gears of Industry and Market Fluctuations' new interactions with Prototype Resonator. (They now correctly give +7 nuts per pickup instead of +5).

The Shape Respecter achievement no longer minds if you hit the floaty Legacy faces in phase two. (This makes the achievement slightly easier, but it's still tricky, and it's easy to think the face doesn't count as a "shape".)

Wincing Clover's damage taken no longer triggers negative damage-taken effects.

Fixed Final Shell's interaction with Prototype Resonator.

Added a few extra Whirls to Aiming Whirl to visually cover its entire hitbox. (It went a bit further than its previous visual indicated.)

Two particular Prototype Symbols no longer spawn in Leaderboard Challenges.

Fixed an error causing Honor and Glory to occasionally trigger incorrectly.

Fixed some ending timings.

Fixed certain text on the victory screen sometimes not showing on some languages.

On the pause menu, the "End run" button now says "Main menu" when appropriate.

What We're Working On - Aug 14, 2023

Hello! We've been hard at work fixing up the issues that y'all have reported since 30XX entered 1.0 on August 9th. We wanted to share where our focus is this week, as well as list most of the issues we've fixed in the past few days. Today's post is only focused on fixes & Qua

Hello! We've been hard at work fixing up the issues that y'all have reported since 30XX entered 1.0 on August 9th. We wanted to share where our focus is this week, as well as list most of the issues we've fixed in the past few days.

Today's post is only focused on fixes & Quality of Life stuff - after we've got all the 1.0 kinks worked out, we'll be publishing our plans for Content Patch 1, the game's first post-release content patch. Those plans aren't final yet, but we're looking at adding new challenge characters, updating Glory Zone variety, adding new Augs of all sorts, and much more!

Fix updates will continue to roll in this week and next - I really appreciate folks taking the time to tell us when something doesn't match their expectations! This list is accurate as of 1.00.8, which'll go live shortly after this post. We'll report another hotfix roundup later this week.

We don't have an update about 30XX's Switch release yet. We'll update you as soon as we do.

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON:

Options & defaults to reduce visibility clutter in certain late-game situations (usually involving repros, co-op partners with giant beams, and a mix of the two).

Permanent Upgrade toggles, so you can customize active upgrades from the set you've purchased (in case you want to turn some of them off)

Updating a few out-of-date tooltips & fixing some text errors

Updating localizations in several languages in response to player feedback

Misc. game fixes, largely targeted at (but not limited to) online co-op

GAME FIXES SINCE AUG 9:

Fixed two rare potential issues blocking progress in the Endgame.

Fixed an issue causing players to visit certain alternate level at an inappropriate time.

Fixed said alternate level not being exitable without dying.

Restored Ace's brilliant Combo Flame.

Delta no longer offers character-specific Augs in co-op play where both characters are in use.

Fixed Experiment 9 sometimes attacking corpses in co-op play.

Fixed Vibrodevourer being circumventable by toggling autocharge on and off.

Fixed the Untouchable achievement triggering improperly.

Fixed the Fully Loaded achievement not triggering properly.

Fixed nuts resetting to 0 when dying in or completing a stage in Mega Mode.

Fixed Capital Punishment's fist sometimes flying out of the arena at higher levels.

Fixed Penumbra's Orb Blocks/Switches sometimes desyncing.

Fixed your online co-op partner's health and NRG not being visible if the health draw type is set to "bars only".

Fixed Nina sometimes shooting an endless stream of bullets when Hoot Cheerleader is used with Autocombo enabled.

Fixed Nina shooting 2 bullets instead of 3 if Hoot Cheerleader is used with Autocombo enabled.

Fixed the final boss sometimes dying early.

Fixed said alternate level not being exitable without dying.

Fixed dialog not showing when using the Community hub's Memory Index before the regular hub's for the first time.

Fixed controllers not registering input for the first few seconds on the main menu under certain conditions.

Fixed a crash that could occur when selecting the "Replay" button after completing a level playtest.

Level catalog levels now pause when the game window gets out of focus.

Fixed an error causing Assist Mode's player damage taken to not save between sessions properly.

The game now always plays the level music while playtesting your level or chunk, and stops it when the level or chunk is completed, or when the game window gets out of focus.

Mega Mode files now display icons for the final levels.

Fixed the button prompts on Ace's technique HUD sometimes being incorrect.

Fixed Crushers sometimes being able to damage you when standing on them with reversed gravity.

Fixed Osafune sometimes having a broken animation after using Thanatos in the air.

Chests and Slot Machines on ceilings now apply reversed gravity to the items they drop.

Fixed L9's miniboss sometimes getting stuck on a wall.

Fixed sliding on slopes during NPC dialog.

Fixed the final boss sometimes getting inappropriately jammed.

Hopefully fixed the final boss dying early under rare circumstances.

Any active lasers at a certain point in the endgame are now disabled at an appropriate time.

30XX 1.0 Patch Notes - August 9, 2023

Hello! Today's 30XX 1.0 patch sees the game exit Early Access into full release! 1.0, first and foremost, brings 30XX's Endgame into the spotlight! We'll avoid too many spoilers here about the new levels, but all 30XX runs will now go past level 8, until you've truly saved the wo

Hello! Today's 30XX 1.0 patch sees the game exit Early Access into full release!

1.0, first and foremost, brings 30XX's Endgame into the spotlight! We'll avoid too many spoilers here about the new levels, but all 30XX runs will now go past level 8, until you've truly saved the world that remains.

We've also fixed up all the remaining major bugs we've found, including some long-standing issues in online play and Mega Mode.

Of course, there's still a lot we're excited to bring to 30XX in the coming months. While we believe 30XX 1.0 fulfills our original vision for the game, there's lots more 30XX in the pipeline - more game content, additional characters, even more Maker flexibility, better mod support, and so much more! We see 1.0 as a fresh start for the game, and we can't wait to be able to share what's coming next.

Our launch trailer's available here on Steam, but it's also here on Twitter if you're into that. https://twitter.com/batterystaple_g/status/1689320798375538688?s=20

We'll also be doing an AMA on reddit today on /r/Games - the post'll go up at 2PM PT!

As always, thanks for playing. We hope you enjoy digging into 1.0 as much as we've enjoyed making it.

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Added 30XX's Endgame! More levels past level 8 await you. We wish you luck, hero.

The Endgame is available in all game modes except for the Maker for the time being.
Like our previous new-level updates, you'll have to create new Mega Mode files to see these.
Achievements requiring game completions are now available.
New narrative events are available past the ones in the pre-1.0 version of the game. You may want to talk to a few NPCs to find a hint, or check up on a certain device.

Updated several early UI elements, including the game's splash screen & mode select menus.

Updated Flapp visuals.

Added support for Traditional Chinese! Also improved loc display in most non-English languages.

All narrative text content is now available in all game languages.

Fixed a handful of issues relating to 0.57's Achievements.

Fixed an issue where Unstoppable Force, Crushing Slam, Digspinning, Lethal Evade, and Vagrant's Waltz damage weren't scaling with some effects. (They still all scale with the user's Speed stat, but now also benefit from lots of other effects.)

Lucavi's homing effect after a charged attack now also considered Phase Knives' effect when determining how far it can go.

Copy effects no longer copy Challenge Flavor benefits.

Fixed an online co-op issue where the non-pausing player's inputs were counted immediately upon a menu opening (say, for an Aug choice). The non-active player can still move the menu after two seconds.

Added a menu to Community Run to choose between Verified Only and Wild West. This option has been removed from the settings menu.

A certain Prototype no longer does its thing in a certain alternate stage.

Nina's shot groups that hit multiple enemies now correctly restore 0.5 NRG per enemy hit. Additionally, enemies that Nina defeats in one hit always restore 1 NRG.

Fixed a host of bugs that could cause performance issues in online play. If you have a smooth single player experience but have online performance issues, tell us!

Updated boss health bar graphics. Each boss now has its own icon on the health bar, too.

Added various new sound effects.

The world is now frozen during NPC dialog.

The barrier created by fusing Rending Whirl and Negation Pulse now disappears when the player unfuses those Powers.

Fixed an issue where playtesting the same level through the Maker multiple times may not update it properly on the game side.

Fixed Core Augs not showing on the end screen if the counting animation is skipped.

Fixed the Trader floating in mid-air when upside-down in Watergrav.

Fixed Very Safe Labs spawning slightly inside the ceiling when upside-down in Watergrav.

Corpses on ceilings now properly flip their orientation in Watergrav.

The player is now affected by gravity after (not during) a boss door transition.

Spring Knights now respect the laws of gravity while swinging their mace.

Fixed an issue where in online co-op, pausing in Clockzone's end chunk, then unpausing, would cause many Flapps to appear at once.

Fixed an issue where replaying the tutorial and quitting mid-way would trick the game into thinking the tutorial hadn't been completed, forcing you to complete it again.

Fixed Dally sometimes spawning inside a wall or in the air in Mega Mode's HQ.

Fixed the Leg Guardian visually shifting around when changing directions while dashing.

Fixed a weird transition when selecting Mega Mode after completing the tutorial.

Fixed a bug causing Rocket Beam to deal far more damage than intended when combined with multiple projectiles.

Fixed Sage Beam not properly casting Autodrone Fusions properly.

Fixed Shield Statues being offset half a tile from their Maker placements.

Fixed an issue where dead enemies could occasionally still block movements of other enemies.

Fixed an issue causing fully charged extra Nina projectiles to not pierce slain enemies.

Fixed a long-standing issue causing Echocave Digspikes (blue pathblock spikes) to appear permanently active.

Fixed an error causing some level themes to display their later backgrounds early.

Fixed the visuals on many of Nina's beams for the other player in online co-op.

Fixed an error causing L'il Hoot's damage to not properly scale with familiar level or Repro damage.

Thorned Hull effectiveness reduced to 1 ATK per 30 Bonus HP. Additional copies of Thorned Hull (say, from Hysteria) have no effect. (It was already a once-per-run Aug.)

Juiced Reserves is still 1 PWR per 20 Bonus NRG, but also now obeys the new non-stacking rule above.

Fixed the Trader occasionally behaving poorly in Mega Mode.

Removed a few Delta Conditions from Mega Mode that didn't make a ton of sense.

Fixed a weird Delta animation bug that could occur when defeating him.

Fixed boss health bars going into the negatives when dealing a lot of damage to the boss in one hit.

Fixed bosses living slightly longer than their depleted health bars would suggest.

Fixed a long-standing online co-op issue where the host's tiles could appear glitchy for a moment when coming out of a Teleporter.

Fixed Slot Machines sometimes giving more rewards than they should in community mode.

Fixed many objects despawning in community mode when crossing or spanning large distances.

Fixed Sonicrabs sometimes being able to walk off ceilings.

NRG should no longer drain during scenes where the player can't control their character.

End-of-level items no longer drop in community mode (they don't do anything in that mode).

Fixed Lethal Tempo dropping a broken item when defeated in Ellie's Gauntlet.

Void Persistence now properly makes the scythe stick to walls.

Fixed Gauntlet teleporters being offset too far down when on a ceiling in Watergrav.

Fixed weird downward movement when transitioning through boss gates.

Fixed some Aug names overlapping with their descriptions in the pause menu.

30XX 0.57 Patch Notes - July 19, 2023

Hello! Today's 0.57 patch cinches up some loose ends in 30XX as we prepare for full release on August 9. It fixes a bunch of online play issues, updates HQ and the Tutorial, adds Achievements, adds some missing Prototype Resonator benefits, and a bunch more!

As we did during the 0.56 patch cycle, we'll likely push several smaller updates these next few weeks as we continue to buff out 30XX's remaining bugs.

Some other news: We're going to be at PAX West from Sept 1-4 this year, and as always, we're looking for volunteers to come help out at the booth and hang out with Cityfires and I! Details here. https://forms.gle/kBUWFMCok65vd4AV6

30XX will also be at Gamescom in Cologne from August 23-27, and we're looking for one more person to come help out - if that might be you, info's here! https://forms.gle/wuzn5628AYDtqSn47

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Added 50 achievements! Many achievements require beating the game in some fashion, and will not be earnable until 1.0 on August 9.

The hidden achievements are all narrative-flavored, and may require re-completing to unlock.
All achievements that don't require either the game's finale stages or a game completion are fair game now - the others will activate alongside 30XX's Endgame patch when we release 1.0 in three weeks.

Ace and Nina now have Character Cards that pop up the first time you select the character, explaining some of their basics. These can be re-viewed by pressing Power 1 instead of Interact at their respective capsules.

Added Prototype Resonator effects for the following Prototypes. Remember, Prototype Resonator only applies to future prototypes acquired.

Burn for Glory: Charged attacks remove 3 HP (down from 5).
Charging Force: Damage bonus increased to 75% (from 50%).
Elliecare, Focused Repair, Healing Flair: Health/NRG increase increased by 50% (so a small health pickup restores 25, instead of 20).
The One and Only: Provides 50% more copies of the chosen Aug.
Edges of Madness: Also provides 1 Scrapbit per two items rerolled.
Gears of Industry, Market Fluctuations: Nuts are worth 7 (instead of 5).
Patchwork Integrator: Damage dealt reduced by 3% per Core (down from 6).
Patchwork Overloader: Cost to equip Cores increased by 1 (down from 2).
Violence Enhancer: Damage bonus increased to 50% (from 30%).
Wincing Clover: Rerolling items costs 20 HP (down from 40).
Vexing Clover: Rerolling an item with this effect also grants 1 Scrapbit.

Updated the Tutorial with a little extra polish. Kur's gate now properly closes, the player can't be hurt during scenes, Zen Mortar is in a proper Weapon box, and there may be a condition under which you're much more capable of dying.

Updated HQ's tileset coloring.

Added info cards for Nina and Ace the first time playing as them in HQ. (This can be re-viewed by pressing Power 1 over one of their capsules.)

Beta and Gamma Workers (Dustria) now have a longer time in between their two wrench attacks, so they should be more avoidable at close range.

Echobeast now summons one fewer Sonic Bouncer before level 8 (the second summon will only summon one more), and two fewer Bouncers before level 5.

Updated the Game End screen to show Cores, Prototypes, and Weapons found as well as Augs. Removed the "Slain By" box, since it wasn't implemented for many enemy types.

Talking to Delta in levels now halts enemy AI and movement.

The Trader now always appears in Rush Job boss hallways, and doesn't replace the natural-spawning currency chest there.

Legacy's Circle shapes now have 50% less HP and take 50% less damage. (This means they take the same damage to destroy as before, but hurt Legacy less when you obliterate them all at once.)

Delta's "Haunt" condition no longer happens in co-op (not super fun for multiple players).

Fixed an issue that could prevent the Maker from sending level data to the game.

Fixed an issue with Ace's charged attack damage.

Fixed an online crash when trying to start a second run in a session.

Fixed a handful of performance issues in online co-op.

Fixed an issue causing a sound to be spam-played deep in Watergrav.

Improved and optimized a number of inefficient network traffic scenarios that could result in degrading performance in online multiplayer.

Removed a bunch of log info that we don't currently use (which should improve performance for some players).

Removed Blinding Hysteria.

Fixed the Energy bar sticking out a little bit.

Fixed a netplay issue causing Capital Punishment to double up on fists in online play.

Fixed an issue with Penumbra Orb Blocks sometimes having improper state.

Fixed a few uncommon crash states.

Community Modes (other than Community Run) no longer use or reset your Next Run shop purchases.

Fixed an issue where Healing Flair was incorrectly blocking healing from Dracopent/Owlhawk Body Cores.

Fixed Thrift Actuator not properly stacking in the level you find it in. (A second Thrift would not put a second item on sale in this level.)

Fixed The One and Only and Grey Goo behaving oddly with Save and Quit.

Acquiring duplicate Powers (mostly only possible in Community Mode) now grants 25 nuts instead of a second copy of the Power.

Acquired Scrapbits now display all at once (e.g. "+3 Scrapbits") instead of showing +1 three times.

Improved Deepverse Wall Turret visual as the client online.

Player corpses no longer appear outside of Standard Mode.

Fixed a bug where Mirror Pulse could also make Negation Gears persist after blocking attacks.

Resolved an ancient issue where lots of persistent sounds playing at once could garbolate the game's audio.

Fixed an issue where losing Marksman's Might wouldn't remove the benefit.

Fixed an error where Orbital Barrier could eat Raijin Call.

When regenerating NRG because of *healing* done, Pain Circuit is now limited to the actual amount healed (so Dracopent's Body Core will still give you 1 NRG per proc, but not 10). Was super busted.

Gamma Gear Elemental Barriers now properly launch at players as the client in online co-op.

Negation Gears and Power Within now display in line with the player's interpolated position in online co-op.

Fixed an issue causing the tileset to appear wonky for a moment when teleporting in online co-op.

Fixed an issue causing the client to sometimes be unable to hit Watergrav Anchor Mines in online co-op.

Added an additional second of invulnerability when teleporting.

30XX 0.56 Patch Notes - June 28, 2023

Hello! Some business first today: 30XX will be leaving Early Access and entering 1.0 on August 9! It'll also be launching on Switch the same day. Also! Today, at 4PM PT, we'll also be streaming some of the awesome community-made levels that players have built since the Maker Upda

Hello! Some business first today: 30XX will be leaving Early Access and entering 1.0 on August 9! It'll also be launching on Switch the same day.

Also! Today, at 4PM PT, we'll also be streaming some of the awesome community-made levels that players have built since the Maker Update on June 7. Tune in and see us get destroyed by player creations! We'll be live at twitch.tv/batterystaplegames.

30XX Patch 0.56 contains most of the remaining systems work as we prepare for 1.0 in six weeks! We're trying out one new Nina NRG regeneration mechanic (see below), so let us know what you think! We've also updated the HUD, with more changes on the way as a mini-patch during the 0.56 cycle. We've done an iteration pass on Power Augs, Weapon Augs, and Remnants, aimed at improving or reworking Augs that turned out not to be super fun in practice - all Power and Weapon Augs should be useful in the right situation. We've also toned down the power level on a few Cores that are performing a bit out of line.

While we prepare for 1.0, we're likely to make a few smaller patches containing more than just hotfix content in between our "major" patches.

As always - thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

EXPERIMENTAL: We're trying one more Nina NRG system in the next few days here - we'll likely hotfix this out if it's not popular (instead of waiting for 0.57). Nina's attacks now restore up to 1 NRG per two enemies hit (or 0.5/ea). Reduced Nina's NRG-on-health-pickup by half. Owlhawk's Arm Core increases this by 50% (100% with Resonator).

We've updated several HUD elements, with a few more on the way:

Health bar visuals are granular (blocks of 10 HP) again. Partial HP blocks will be partially filled.
Updated positioning & spacing of main player HUD elements. In addition, Ace's HUD now shows the Powers he currently has on his HUD bars, and shows more Powers when he has more than 3.
Updated currency displays. (This will be more elegant in a hotfix shortly after the patch.)
In online co-op, your partner now displays much more limited information to save screen space. (In local co-op, the "Hybrid bars" setting now kicks in Numbers Only at 16 units, down from 30).

The Chronovane components no longer spawn in runs after they've been properly used. The area involved can be re-entered from a special area in HQ.

Rush Job bosses now drop Memoria. (They drop slightly less than Standard bosses.)

Scrap Trawler's buff is no longer removed when purchasing an Aug from the Trader.

Fixed an issue causing crashes when Quick Restarting Weekly Challenges.

Fixed an issue causing Delta's offers to sometimes show smaller rewards than the player actually receives.

Fixed weird positioning when P2 enters a Mega Mode session.

Fixed an issue causing Aiming Crystal to hit the player for 0 if fired into a wall at point blank range.

Armatort's Pound's shot erasure now triggers Defend effects (like Counterstrike and Reboot).

When exiting a Digzone while spinning, the dig/spin state is now maintained for up to 0.5s as long as that direction is held down.

Ace once again gains "half-charge" damage. This currently has no visual.

Dracopent's Set bonus now guarantees all attacks happen at at least half charge (instead of raising the effective charged level of all attacks by one). In combination with the rest of this set, this led to really degenerate damage too quickly.

Vagrant's Sonata (Head Core) now lets you use Powers during overheating as intended while you don't have the NRG to use the Power normally.

Zookeeper's Wrath (Arm Core) now fires up to 3 Repro attacks per fully charged attack (5 with Resonator). (This limit doesn't count Repros that naturally attack alongside charged attacks, like Facesmasher. It does count Reboot (if it resets Reboot's laser).

Updated several Power Augs, Remnants, Weapons, and Weapon Augs:

Swapped the names of Wild Mortar and Serene Mortar. (Wild increases Echo effects - Serene gives NRG back.)
Serene Mortar now grants 4 NRG per enemy killed by it (up from 2).
Metal Gear (Aiming Gear) now reduces damage dealt by 50% (down from 75%).
Whirlspur (Rending Whirl) now also increases damage dealt by 20%.
Supersonic Bolt (Jagged Bolt) now increases speed by 150% (up from 50%), and increases damage dealt by 20%.
Bouncing Bolt (Jagged Bolt) now chains homing effects to a second nearby target, even if the first target isn't killed by the attack.
Mimic Drone now increases Autodrone (and other damaging Autodrone fusions) damage by 25% instead of its previous effect.
Devoted Drone now grants +100% Power Efficiency for Autodrone and its fusions instead of its previous effect.
Void Double (base Power) now fires one scythe on effect end that seeks a nearby target (instead of 2, that fly off in the upper diagonals). Stacks capped at 20 (for a base 100 damage Scythe).
Enter the Void (Leviathan Power Aug) redesigned. Now increases explosion area of effect and damage by 30%.
Sacred Minnow (Leviathan Power Aug) redesigned. Now applies a debuff to enemies that heals Ace for 3 when defeating enemies with Leviathan.
Striking Leviathan no longer grants Style.
Remnant of Time (Clockzone) redesigned. Now increases buff effect durations by 50% instead of infinite coyote-time. (This currently includes Ace's Style stacks.)
Remnant of Wind (Highvault) redesigned. Now grants a bonus jump when dealing damage with an Attack in midair. This effect can be repeated.
Increased the size of Grandmaster's hitbox by 30% so it's a little easier to use.
Increased Grandmaster base damage to 14 (from 10).
Lingering Fist's previous effect (Grandmaster Unleash still sends enemies flying after death, even if it isn't the killing blow) is now a baseline Grandmaster ability.
Lingering Fist redesigned. Now increases the damage dealt by enemies sent flying by 50%.
Rapid Fist redesigned. Now doubles attack range while charged.
Dawnbind's charged attack now grants 6 style stacks as a bonus, instead of hitting all 3 aim directions. (The weapon's fun to aim - the charged strike hitting all angles made it a bit less fun to use.)
Chainbind tooltip corrected (Damage bonus is 50%), and now properly works on bosses and minibosses.
Stylestrike (Dawnbind Weapon Aug) redesigned. Now increases all damage dealt by 30% when Dawnbind is equipped at full Style.
Lara no longer costs CP to equip.
Wavethrower (Lara Weapon Aug) now increases damage and NRG cost of its Unleash, instead of its previous effect.
Edgewall base damage increased to 13 (from 10). Charged damage reduced to 40 (from 50). Edgewall no longer multi-hits large enemies. (This was a little silly - it could hit very large enemies 3-4 times.)
Edgewall's Unleash shield no longer consumes next-attack effects like Coup de Grace and Rage Circuit. (This is a buff - it was eating these effects for 0 damage.)
Tonbokiri base damage down to 15 (from 18).
Plasma Beam base damage per tick reduced to 3 (from 5). Duration reduced from 1 sec to 0.5 sec. Plasma Beam can now only spawn a damage zone on an enemy once every 0.5 sec. (Plasma Beam's damaging zone was almost tripling the damage of charged shots all by itself!)

Removed the attack stat bonuses from Arm Core Augs. (They're already very powerful as is!)

The Trader now offers 1 Core Extender per encounter (down from 2). She'll still stock up to 2 if you don't buy the first one.

Hazard indicators for off-screen enemies/projectiles now scale in size the closer they get to entering the screen.

Added over 70 new sound effects!

Fixed an error where starting Community Mode would fail to check for existing Standard runs, letting you overwrite your data without a prompt.

Fixed an "empty" support showing if you have a Power in a support slot with no Power above it.

Fixed Zen Vortex's mini fireballs spawning on the player.

Vital Gambit now properly leaves you at 10 HP (instead of 1).

Fixed an Ace animation error involving airdash & Thanatos.

Dash duration is now snapshotted when starting a dash, fixing an issue where Vagrant's Waltz could cause super long blink dashes or super short normal dashes. (It was usually the former.)

Item Copy effects no longer try to copy Quest items, Scrapbits, or Resonated Armor parts.

Autocharge can no longer be toggled on/off to fire charged shots with Zookeeper's Burden active.

Charmed Flapps no longer block additional enemy spawns in Contemplation Rooms.

Fixed an issue causing Delta's battle theme to fail to play sometimes.

Fixed Charging Magnet behaving oddly on gravity-flipped pickups.

Fixed Reboot's laser positioning when in reversed gravity.

Fixed Aim+Arc behavior with reversed gravity.

Fixed an issue allowing Fatal Fury to be rerolled after picking it up at least once.

Fixed Zen Vortex (Mortar+Whirl)'s mini-mortars not properly scaling with player Augs.

Fixed Dolomite Link & Raijin Call not properly scaling with temporary player buffs.

Fixed an inaccurate hitbox on Clockzone Spring Knight attacks.

Homing effects no longer try to target Deepverse Glitcharcs.

Mini Crystals no longer respawn with Delta's Spectres condition active.

Fixed some animation stuff w/ Edgewall's shield.

CQC Enthusist now also benefits Edgewall.

Zen Heretic no longer destroys Dustria springs.

Negation Pulse properly destroys Echobeast's summons again.

Seeking Striker is no longer neutered by Seeker Beam.

Buffed Seeker Beam's seeking ability.

Fixed Counterstrike's tooltip, and increased the buff time to 3 seconds (from 2).

Fixed some weirdness when digzone-dashing near the edge of a Contemplation Room.

Clockzone Swarmers no longer respawn with Spectres active.

Changed Arc Beam + Rocket Beam interaction.

Fixed Graceful Strikes' stacking.

Fixed level catalog searches breaking when using nonstandard characters.

Fixed a crash in the level catalog when your Windows username has characters that don't appear in the English alphabet.

Fixed a crash in the level catalog that could occur randomly (we weren't handling the server response properly).

Fixed an issue where in community mode, objects with a "path" parameter could prevent other objects from loading.

Fixed miniboss arenas sometimes disappearing when the player is too far to the right of them in community mode.

Fixed camera weirdness in Burning Temple's miniboss arena in community mode.

Fixed lava sometimes not drawing in community mode when the player is too far to the right.

Fixed certain objects not behaving correctly when crossing large distances in community mode. Some objects still have this issue though, and we'll continue to chip away at these.

Increased the speed of the endgame summary count (and fixed a bug where Damage Dealt was incrementing super slowly).

MAKER CHANGES & FIXES:

You can now log in with your email address. Logging in with your username still works as well.

When trying to upload a level with the same name as a level you've already uploaded, the Maker now displays a proper error message.

Improved keyboard navigation in the Create Level menu.

Fixed an issue where a duplicate of Highvault's post-boss arena could show up under certain circumstances, making it appear incorrectly in-game.

Fixed a softlock in the level tutorial.

Fixed Deepverse's "Front Hexagon" decoration not having a name.

Fixed a crash related to Highvault's boss arena.

30XX 0.55 Patch Notes - June 7, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.55 is the Maker Update, 30XX's next Major Update! The Maker Update re-introduces our level creator as 30XX Maker, expanded with tools that give creators full control over the levels they make. Lots of details below - don't miss the Maker changes under the game

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.55 is the Maker Update, 30XX's next Major Update! The Maker Update re-introduces our level creator as 30XX Maker, expanded with tools that give creators full control over the levels they make.

Lots of details below - don't miss the Maker changes under the game updates here! The TL;DR here is that you can now make and play full levels, and place elements from whatever stage you want, whatever Powers and Augs you want, and control so much more to craft exactly the 30XX experience you've envisioned. Gone are the days of only being able to build level pieces that fit into our stage structure!

Today's patch also reverts back to the 0.53 Power Fusion model, introduces a new EC that preserves the current one (Still Waters 2), updates the Vagrant's set, and makes a few more tweaks.

Also - 30XX is coming to Switch this summer! More news about the 1.0 launch timeline coming shortly.

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Added Community Mode!

Alongside the changes to 30XX Maker listed here, Community Mode now offers robust discovery tools for players looking to dig into the wild creations of 30XX's community.
By picking "Community" mode in the Main Menu (now listed alongside Standard and Mega), players will arrive at the new Community HQ space, where they can play fan-made levels one of two ways:
- Using the Level Catalog, players can browse for individual levels to tackle.
- If one level at a time's not enough for you, Ellie's Gauntlet lets you tackle a full 8-stage set of levels with a limited number of lives!
High-detail customization settings for finding levels are available in either mode, so you can play the kinds of levels you want!
Old "Maker Mode" is now "Community Run" in the new area, instead of being behind a menu. (This is the old "get player-made chunks" setting). The option is still in the Advanced Options menu - you can set it to Wild West before starting a Community Run to get Wild West chunks, else it'll pull from the Verified pool. (This will get more UI in a future patch.)

Reverted to the pre-0.53 Power Fusion model. Without Entropy Conditions on, Nina can now fuse Powers freely again. We've made a few adjustments to some of the wilder combinations for balance reasons, but we'd like to see how Nina's Fusions settle without making major changes to individual Powers before making any sweeping changes.

Still Waters now goes to rank 2. At rank 2, Nina's limited Fusion system applies, and Ace loses all Style on taking damage. This EC rank is worth two points. We may break this out into its own Entropy Condition in a future patch.
We know this one's been a bit contentious - we're still working on this system - let us know what you think!
Zen Heretic base damage reduced to 60 while divekicking (from 70). Extra fireball damage reduced to 20 (from 40). (100+ damage from a 15 NRG ability at base is a bit too high.)

Raijin Call lightning speed increased by ~30%. Base damage increased to 50 (from 40).

Reworked some Vagrant's Set pieces! In general, the goal is "overheating impedes the functions of the items of the set you *don't* have", while each piece of the set provides a way to spend Corruption to quickly get out of the overheating state. Accounting for this, we're also making it easier to build Corruption, since it's now more of a resource most of the time.

Vagrant's Dissonance reworked. No longer prevents the use of alternative Weapons. While overheating, attacks are automatically charged, and consume Corruption. Weapons that add projectiles reduce the Corruption buildup of each projectile. Glitch projectiles deal 50% increased damage. (Probably too strong, but we'll start here.)
- Wave Beam currently overrides Vagrant's Dissonance's special projectile.
Vagrant's Waltz reworked. While building Corruption, dashes now complete more quickly than normal (the old "Boltdash" effect). While overheating, dashes consume Corruption to perform their current short-range teleport behavior, consuming Corruption in the process. The short-range teleport also now damages enemies.
Vagrant's Yearn (Body Core) now consumes some Corruption when it prevents damage while overheating.
Vagrant's Sonata (Head Core) unchanged.
Corruption now begins to decay 2 seconds after last hit (up from 1).
Vagrant's set bonus redesigned. Instead of always having a certain Corruption minimum, Corruption does not decay, and effects that spend it while overheating spend half as much.

Beta Gear Elementals now attack less rapidly.

Clockzone Spring Knights now require line of sight to attack.

Vibrodevourer (Prototype) now allows Powers to be used without the required Energy at 40% damage effectiveness (up from 25%). (Effect boosted to 50% with Prototype Resonator.)

Charmed Flapps can no longer be re-ignited.

Homing effects now work properly on frozen targets.

If Doppelgel has nothing to copy, you'll now instead get 25 Nuts (up from nothing).

Absolution's Voids now have 1 hp (in the event that you have something like Utilifier MAX).

Fixed an issue where Pulse Engine (Negation Pulse Aug) stacks were being eaten by other abilities.

Effects that give you Energy or Health after a level now take place after effects that change your maximum. (This means if you get max HP or max NRG after a level, post-level restorative effects can restore it.)

Vibrodevourer is no longer sometimes locked out by extremely low Power Efficiency (multiple Heavy Juice stacks).

Focused Repair now blocks Dracopent/Owlhawk Body Core healing (as indicated in the tooltip).

Fixed a buff overlap between Autoloader and Rage Circuit.

Fixed Power Within (Void+Drone) disappearing when absorbing a Clockzone Gear.

Oxjack's Head Core projectile speed (dashing fires a bolt!) now scales with player speed.

Fixed an error where the Helmet Guardian would be set to the wrong speed after a wall bump, and just float horizontally.

MAKER CHANGES & FIXES:

Introducing 30XX Maker! The level editor now lets you create full levels from start to finish. This comes with several new features:

Give players any Augs, Cores, Prototypes and weapons that you want. You are no longer limited by the game's randomness.
New mechanics exclusive to full levels, such as checkpoints, weapon blocks and toll gates.
Use whatever enemies and mechanics that you want, regardless of the level theme. You can also choose where the boss and/or miniboss shows up.
An infinite builder grid
your levels can be as large as you want! There's also a minimap to help you navigate this massive space.
The ability to make your level coop-only, requiring the level to be played by two players.
And much more!

Changed the logo to match the new branding (Editor -> 30XX Maker) and modified the main menu aesthetic.

You can now toggle fullscreen in the settings menu. F4 and Alt + Enter still work, too.

Tiles and slopes can now override previously placed tiles.

Tile placement now has a "smart offset" that should hopefully make the placement of "perspective tiles" more intuitive. This can be turned off in the settings, which returns tile placement to its old behavior (enable Advanced Mode to make the option visible).

You can now use Ctrl + D to switch between disabled layer drawing modes (advanced mode only).

While moving the screen, you can now hold Shift + Alt to move even faster.

You can now click on a chunk ID in the chunk catalog to copy it to your clipboard.

Objects with a "destination" parameter are now always rendered, regardless of how far out-of-view its origin point is.

Fixed an issue where the grid wouldn't cover the whole screen when fully zoomed out if the resolution is set to 1920x1080.

Fixed the rank symbol on Anchor Mines becoming displaced when stretching them.

30XX 0.54 Patch Notes - May 17, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.54 revises 30XX's HQ space (and the way it develops as you play 30XX), lets you find the corpse of your previous character mid-run to reclaim an item you held, makes earlygame Memoria acquisition smoother, and makes Dally's Gift more interesting early! Most of

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.54 revises 30XX's HQ space (and the way it develops as you play 30XX), lets you find the corpse of your previous character mid-run to reclaim an item you held, makes earlygame Memoria acquisition smoother, and makes Dally's Gift more interesting early!

Most of these changes are aimed at smoothing out the new player experience - let us know what you think! Thanks for playing.

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

We've updated HQ! HQ now takes place in a new tileset, high above the Earth - a last refuge for you and your team while you gather the strength to challenge Ellie's Guardians.
- HQ has been fully revised in terms of visual theming and layout.
- HQ now unfolds as you play 30XX, instead of being fully unlocked all at once.
- Most content has multiple unlock methods - a game clear will unlock all of it immediately, and players with an existing game clear shouldn't need to reclear to see everything.
- Existing players will likely see most, if not all, of HQ unlocked from the start. Enterprising players might be able to slip around the locks and access content early.
- Added several new dialogue flags for Alexia, Delta, and Dally. In general, characters now have something useful to say the first time you meet them, and Alexia usually has a comment when something new appears in HQ. We've also updated the dialogue box display - it's now larger, allowing for more text per panel, and larger font.
- One area of HQ is still under construction - it's for next update.
Added a Memoria Bonus when finishing a run! This bonus scales with how far you make it into the run, and adds a sizeable bonus for a full completion. (This is intended both as a general boost to unlock rate and a targeted boost to unlock rate early in progression.)
We've re-implemented 20XX's Corpse mechanic. When you die in a Standard, non-Challenge run, you'll leave a corpse behind - in your next run, that corpse will be somewhere in your run (preferring the stage you died in). If you find it, you'll be able to reclaim either a Core or an Aug you had when you died.
(Experimental) Redesigned Dally's Gift Rank 1. Instead of offering low-value Augs, Dally's Gift at rank 1 now offers a single Weapon at the start of the run. Additionally, Dally's Gift Rank 1 automatically unlocks without spending Memoria after your first run.
Autotank now begins runs with 40 HP stored. If you somehow get additional Subtank uses, they start with 20 HP each.
Adjusted the costs of a few early Memory Index unlocks to help out with early progression:
- Rite of Rebeginning (Autotank) costs reduced to 15/50/100/150 (from 30/100/150/200).
- Dally's Gift costs reduced to 0/40/150 (from 20/75/150).
- Salvaging Circuit costs increased to 10/50 (from 1/50). (Now that we have stronger earlygame Memoria gain, the "1" cost felt a little silly.)
Base Core Points increased to 10 (from 8).
Fixed a handful of issues involving Nina's Power Fusion update in online co-op.
Fixed an issue classifying Flaring Hysteria as a "less dicey" Prototype.
Advancing through dialogue is now done by pressing Attack (rather than Accept).
Fixed the almost-invulnerable-dummy at the end of a chunk granting score.
The Trader no longer sometimes offers to buy your Core Extender.
While not in HQ, currently held Scrap count is now part of the Pause screen alongside your Memoria, stats, and rerolls.
Loot Omega no longer benefits from Delta's +100% HP condition.
Laser Snakes (Beeg and not) now still segment properly with Delta's +100% HP condition active.
Charging Magnet now works with Edgewall and Grandmaster.
Kingseeker now allows you to pick up HP pickups for 0 HP (so you can restore NRG from them and trigger other on-HP-pickup effects, even though they don't heal). This curse still blocks the use of HP machines (for now).
Fixed Delta's "no healing" condition.
The "Powerful" Challenge Flavor now properly puts Ace's Techniques in their normal default positions.
Fixed an issue causing Crystal Pulse (Pulse + Crystal Wave) to not hit all enemies it passes through.
Fixed an issue causing Save & Quit to behave poorly with Autoloader (usually by giving you lots of extra nuts).
Reloading from Save and Quit now has proper level geometry where the boss room used to be, instead of an endless abyss.
Removed Lander's Essence from the Next Run shop item pool. (It's pretty low value since you start runs at full Health anyway.)
The One and Only now removes Zookeeper's Burden's penalty (to prevent the situation where TOAO rerolls all your Repros away, but you still can't attack.)
Sage Beam no longer works if your first Power slot is empty. (This is a buff.) This also resolves a weird interaction between Juice Beam and Sage Beam with Slot 1 empty.
Fixed a minor issue where purchasing the Smuggler's Beacon Memoria upgrade, then resetting HQ would result in a one-time Trader with no items for sale.
Fixed an issue where picking up The One and Only could look like it gives you copies of a Repro, then actually give you nothing.
Absolution's leftover Scythe no longer triggers a warning indicator.
Fixed an issue where pausing could fail to work after talking to Delta.

30XX 0.53 Patch Notes - April 26, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.53 overhauls Nina's Power Fusion system in a big way. We've updated every single Fusion, buffed most of them, and ~15 of them have entirely new effects! Alongside that, we're experimenting with a new system where being able to fuse Nina's Powers together is a

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.53 overhauls Nina's Power Fusion system in a big way. We've updated every single Fusion, buffed most of them, and ~15 of them have entirely new effects!

Alongside that, we're experimenting with a new system where being able to fuse Nina's Powers together is a special, permanent condition, rather than something that's always guaranteed. Some Powers found in a run will be Fusible - you'll know it when you see it - and when you find one, you'll be able to Fuse it with an existing Power you already have, or just take the base Power being offered. In exchange for two precious Powers, every Fusion has been buffed substantially - we want the decision to take a Fusion be a choice you make as a player during your run, based on your preferences and build.

We know this change might be controversial, and we're excited to hear your feedback. We want Nina's Fusions to be powerful tools in her kit that aren't all available to her every run - we hope this'll add even more diversity to the way your runs play out while giving Nina lots of new tools at her disposal.

TL;DR - 0.53's new Fused Powers are much stronger than they were previously, but the decision to Fuse Powers together has to be made in the post-Boss room. You can experiment with the various potential Fusions there in the boss room before moving on. Tell us what you think!

We've also updated several of Nina's base Powers, made her shot limit a little less restrictive, and fixed a handful of other issues.

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Updated Nina's Power Fusion system! Fused Powers now have new unique names and descriptions as Fusions.
EXPERIMENTAL: Picking up a Fusion during a run is now a permanent decision for that run. Powers will sometimes drop as Fusible from bosses - when you find a Fusible Power, acquiring the Power will bring up a new menu where you can choose between acquiring the Power on its own, or Fusing it with an existing Power, along with the names and descriptions of the potential Fusions. This decision can be reversed or made differently as long as you remain in the post-boss room before moving onto the next stage, giving you the chance to play around with the fused power before deciding whether or not to commit to it. We've also added a target-dummy style enemy in each post-boss room to try your shiny new toys on.
Our design goal here is that fusing a power should feel more like a strategic decision you make when you acquire a Power based on the choices available to you - to compensate for making a permanent decision, we've updated the effects of almost every Fusion, and adjusted damage numbers and NRG costs to account for the fact that you're sacrificing having the two Powers separately when you Fuse them.
The blocks below this one are in SPOILER tags. We're including them here for completeness if you want to see details on the updated Fusions, but if you'd rather discover the effects in game, don't mouse over these!
- Zen Mortar + Rending Whirl = Zen Vortex: The base projectile now travels forward in an arc instead of straight up, making it easier to aim the portal Echo. Base mini-mortar damage increased to 40 (from 10). Mini-mortars now obey shotgun rules. Base duration reduced to 1 second (from 2 seconds).
- Zen Mortar + Aiming Gear = Aiming Mortar: Visuals improved and clutter reduced. NRG cost reduced to 10 (from 20). Mortars fired horizontally or downward are no longer affected by gravity, so they're a little easier to aim.
- Zen Mortar + Crystal Wave: = Splintercrystal: NRG cost reduced to 10 (from 15). Crystal shatter now applies light shotgun rules (50% per additional projectile instead of the standard 12.5%). Base Crystal damage increased to 50 (from 40). Now also ignores shields (inheriting this property from Zen Mortar).
- Zen Mortar + Negation Pulse = Zen Protector: Descend speed increased to 55 (from 35). Statue now stops directly in front of you when cast (instead of landing wherever it can land), guaranteeing protection where you expect it. On-death fireballs now align to a cardinal direction instead of directly aligning away from you. Fireball base damage increased to 40 (from 20). Shield lifetime down to 2 seconds (from 3). Fireballs now also fire when the statue expires naturally, and pierce shields.
- Zen Mortar + Crushing Void = Crushing Twin: Hitbox size increased. Base damage up to 70 (from 50). Triggering the Echo now also sends two additional projectiles straight up and down.
- Zen Mortar + Jagged Bolt = Seeking Striker: NRG cost down to 5 (from 6). Projectiles now align properly when spawned (which also makes them take off slightly faster).
- Zen Mortar + Autodrone = Zen Heretic: Summon a Disciple of your own that uppercuts, then divekicks down when you press the Power button again. Base damage is 50 during the uppercut, and 70 during the divekick. Explodes into cardinal fireballs upon contact with a wall or an enemy it can't kill (shotgun rules apply). Costs 12 NRG.
- Zen Mortar general note: All Zen Mortar fusion projectiles now also pierce shields, inheriting this property from the base Power.
- Rending Whirl + Aiming Gear = Aiming Whirl: NRG cost reduced to 12 (from 20). No other changes.
- Rending Whirl + Crystal Wave = Crystal Torrent: Redesigned. Now fires a rapid set of Crystals above and below the player, dealing damage and freezing enemies. Crystals go through walls. Cost down to 10 NRG (from 15). Standard shotgun rules apply.
- Rending Whirl + Negation Pulse = Negation Barrier: Projectiles absorbed by this effect grant a stacking buff, empowering your next attack by up to 50%. No other changes (other than the change below, making this effect correctly consider Nina's Power Efficiency).
- Rending Whirl + Crushing Void = Eviscerating Whirl: Base damage increased to 25 per tick (from 10). Base duration reduced to 1.5 sec (from 3 sec). Overall, this is a 25% damage buff per use, and it happens twice as fast. The super-long duration on the previous version of this ability was funny, but not super practical. The NRG cost on this one remains high (40).
- Rending Whirl + Jagged Bolt = Tagging Bolt: Mostly the same. Base damage up to 25 (from 20). NRG cost down to 10 (from 12). Still marks enemies with a Tag, causing primary attacks to home in on the victim.
- Rending Whirl + Autodrone = Hoot Cheerleader: Summons a L'il Hoot that increases attack rate for you and nearby allies (including other players and repros). Increases Nina's shot limit during the duration. Costs 10 NRG, and lasts 4 seconds.
- Aiming Gear + Crystal Wave = Aiming Crystal: Base damage increased to 20 (from 1). Crystal still creates blocks when making contact with walls. Improved wall/block placement.
- Aiming Gear + Negation Pulse = Negation Gears: Unchanged.
- Aiming Gear + Crushing Void = Crushing Slam: Base damage of the dash attack increased to 40 (from 30). If this ability kills an enemy, it can be immediately recast for free (even in midair). Making enemy contact with this ability grants the player brief touch-damage iframes, similar to connecting with an enemy with Zen Ascent.
- Aiming Gear + Jagged Bolt = Divine Gear: Unchanged.
- Aiming Gear + Autodrone = Twin Fangs: Fire two Gear Rollies that that split and fly orthogonally from the cast direction. Rolls along walls instead of disappearing. Aimable like the standard Aiming Gear. Costs 8 NRG, and each Gear deals 25 base damage.
- Crystal Wave + Negation Pulse = Crystal Pulse: NRG cost to 12 (from 15).
- Crystal Wave + Crushing Void = Crystal Burst: Unchanged.
- Crystal Wave + Jagged Bolt = Crystal Seeker: Projectile speed increased by 25%. Reduced cost to 8 NRG (from 10). Fixed an issue causing weird curving if the Seeker's target is off to the left of the attacker.
- Crystal Wave + Autodrone = Crystal Guide: Now fires a ride-able crystal block that'll also freeze enemies it makes contact with. Costs 12 NRG.
- Crushing Void + Negation Pulse = Obliteration Pulse: Unchanged.
- Crushing Void + Jagged Bolt = Electric Abyss: Now fires one salvo of eight Jagged Bolts in all directions. (Was super overpowered in its previous state.) Increased size of fired Bolts, slightly increased damage. Effect no longer sucks in nearby enemies (duration is too short to be useful).
- Crushing Void + Autodrone = Void Within: Still projects a void from you. Damage radius increased. Damage per tick up to 30 (from 23). Effect no longer sucks in nearby enemies (since this usually just got you hurt).
- Jagged Bolt + Negation Pulse = Pulse Bubble: Improved reaction time and speed of bubbles when negating enemy projectiles. Pulse Bubbles now do 10 damage each before activation (up from none), so they're still usable against non-projectile-shooting enemies (just not as effective).
- Jagged Bolt + Autodrone = Voltage Vampire: Launches a small drone that latches onto nearby enemies, dealing 40 damage per second (and costing 10 NRG per second). Enemies that die after being drained by the Vampire restore 2 health to Nina. The Vampire will deactivate on its own if it can't find anything to Vamp on, or Nina can activate the Power again to turn it off.
- Negation Pulse + Autodrone = Kindness Vector: Fires a friendly face forward that frequently casts small Negation Pulses (base 20 damage). Shooting the friendly face causes it to erupt into a major Pulse (base 50 damage). Costs 15 NRG.
- It's likely the case that not all Power Augs have effects for every Fusion yet, but that's the goal.
- Extra note: As of game version 0.53.0, some Fusions look a little wonky in netplay, but they should all work/not crash your game. We're anticipating a 0.53.1 to get in a few more updates before 0.54 - so if you see version 0.53.1 or later, these are probably fixed.
Other Nina updates:
- Nina's base attacks stop preventing other attacks after 0.75 seconds (down from 1 second). This means missing is still penalizing, but not as much so.
- Crushing Void (Base Power): Bullet lifetime reduced to 2 seconds (from 8 seconds). 8 seconds was *wildly* too long, and resulted in the projectile floating along several screens. Base damage reduced slightly (to 70, from 75).
- Rending Whirl (Base Power): Tornado base lifetime reduced to 0.6 sec (from 1 sec) - this will make it hit a stationary target up to 5 times, down from 7. Rending Whirl is still the most damaging base Power against stationary targets, but a base damage of 105 was a bit excessive.
- Jagged Bolt (Base Power): Improved homing detection - the Bolt will no longer curve when there's a closer valid target on its current path. This will prevent the situation where you fire Jagged Bolt aiming at a target along the default trajectory, then it curves to hit something much further away.
- Autodrone (Base Power): Base movement (how quickly it sticks to its desired position) doubled, so it'll do a much better job of being where it belongs. Float range (how far it floats up and down) reduced by 50%.
Added bad luck protection to Contemplation Room spawns. If a Contemplation Room hasn't spawned within 3 stages, it's now guaranteed on the fourth. This also increases CR overall spawn rate by about 25%. (This also guarantees at least two CRs per run, which I'm a little iffy on.)
Ace now gains very brief invuln frames when close to his target with Dolomite Link. While Dolomite Link doesn't prevent projectile damage without the Shield Link upgrade, it still feels a bit bad to see an enemy attack the frame you reach it.
Rerolling the Trader's offer now costs 2 Scrapbits (up from 1). Resonators from the Trader now cost 4 Scrapbits (up from 3). The Trader's offers are a little too powerful right now - it's a little too easy to guarantee getting a bunch of amazing stuff by stockpiling Scrapbits - this should get us over the line here.
Improved performance in Echocave Digzones.
Fixed an issue where a few newer Augs (Doppelgel, The One And Only, Armor Integrator, Grey Goo) would re-apply when loading a save.
Corrected an error where Exploding Barrels wouldn't harm the player.
Player homing effects no longer sometimes target enemies that haven't spawned yet (for example, in Contemplation Rooms).
Player Powers that drain NRG over time now properly account for the player's Power Efficiency.
Added an "ignited" state that alters behaviors of enemies in Burning Temple. (This is technically a fix!)
Thorned Revenger now obeys the same shotgunning rules as Tiny Flamespewer (so subsequent hits from the same burst deal reduced damage, instead of bumping into a boss and dealing 200+ damage that ignores iframes).
Loot Omega no longer has increased health with Faithmetal Flock (entropy condition) active.
Fallspikes (Echocave) no longer respawn with Spectres active.
Froggos spawned by Watergrav's Beeg Frog miniboss no longer respawn with Spectres active.
Fixed an issue causing Delta's attacks to sometimes hit for very low damage (1-ish).
Fixed an issue preventing appropriate Powers from destroying Absolution's Voids.
Corrected some Boots Guardian hitboxes.

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.52 polishes up our recent Legacy battle update with gameplay polish and visual updates, and fixes a bunch of bugs! We had a great time being back in Boston for PAX East for the first time since we announced 30XX 3 years ago (but it did take up a lot of our patch cycle).

Now that we're back in the office, we're working hard on 30XX's next Major Update -- the Maker Update -- which will overhaul the way creators and players alike interact with 30XX's Editor, offering much more powerful tools to make whatever kinds of levels creators want - as well as much better discovery tools for players to find and enjoy those levels.

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Updated some of the new Legacy bossfight mechanics:
- Legacy's X-lasers no longer intercept shots. (The X-shapes themselves still do, but you can shoot in between them.) They can still be disrupted with Jagged Bolt and Raijin Call.
- Legacy's Circle shape barrier segments can now be destroyed (in addition to still sending their damage to the boss). Their health scales with stage level, but not Entropy Conditions.
- Legacy's Circle chase vertical speed decreased by 20%. Added a 0.5 second delay in between the circles spawning and the chase starting.
- Legacy's Triangle shapes no longer collide with/block projectiles.
- Legacy now projects a tell hologram over his head as he begins to use each of his moves.
- Improved Legacy's animations before each of his moves in general.
- Legacy's max # of waves in Phase 2 down to 5 (from 10). The phase still ends early if 3 weakpoints are hit. (Updated weakpoint visual.)
- Dying shapes no longer count as "kills" for things like Remnant of Flame.
Loot Omega now has a warning indicator while active.
In co-op play, Contemplation Shrines now spawn their health pickups offset two tiles in either direction (so one player doesn't immediately hoover them all up on teleport).
Charmed Flapps (via an upgraded Re-Flapp) no longer send out retaliation projectiles when they die with the Eye for an Eye Entropy Condition on.
Increased Charmed Flapp explosion range to prevent a few cases where the Flapp would bump into an enemy, but not blow up.
The following Remnants now have explicit stacking logic in case they're targeted by an effect that copies an Aug you have: Flame, Spirit, Determination, Kindness. (Kindness already had one - the others didn't.)
The other four Remnants will no longer be targeted by Aug-copying effects.
Aug-copying effects no longer target Prototypes or Power Augs. (We might make exceptions for popular copy targets in the future if we can also increase the penalties associated, but most of these weren't fully supported.)
Aug-copying effects no longer copy Nutstack unless it's the only valid choice. (This wasn't a bug, it just also wasn't very fun.)
Pulse Engine (Negation Pulse Power Aug) now has a duration of 8 seconds (up from 3).
Nina's Verity Beam no longer causes massive screenshake if another effect causes her very fast attacks to also be charged.
Corrected Rage Circuit's tooltip (50%, not 30%). Rage Circuit now stacks, both by taking multiple hits and by having multiple copies of Rage Circuit. Corrected an issue where Rage Circuit was giving Ace less damage for Techniques than intended.
Fixed Into the Fray not working properly in many cases. (It's really good now!)
Narrowed Highvault's Stinger's collision box, both for the player and for walls. (This means it's less likely to get stuck, and less likely to tag you while moving near you.) Fixed up some hitbox issues with all versions.
Highvault Cloud Platforms no longer trigger warning indicators.
Player homing attacks now ignore walls when finding a target if the attack goes through walls (for example, if the player has Quantum Spook).
Fixed a rare cause of enemies warping back to their spawn point (most common in Clockzone's vertical sections). Enemies that would previously warp back to their spawn point will instead just die.
Fixed an issue causing the Trader to offer character-specific Augs to the wrong character in co-op play.
The Trader no longer offers Fatal Fury or Core Extender.
Added icons for 0.51's new items.
Ace now properly benefits from Arm Resonator + Owlhawk's Talon.
Enemies revived by Delta's Spectres condition no longer trigger certain effects (NRG on kill, Remnant of Flame) - having the optimal play be "farm a respawning enemy until I'm full on NRG/shield" is not great.
Players can no longer change characters in HQ while readied for online play. (This prevents a weird situation where a player changes character at the last second before the game starts, and the host and client disagree about who that player is.)
Fixed an error preventing Beta and Gamma Angle Bolters from spawning in mid/lategame Dustria.
Fixed an error preventing Blood Price from working if you also had Charisma Protocol (but not enough Scrap to spend).
Fixed a few Highvault decorations that were layering incorrectly.
Fixed a few visuals with Lethal Evade (Laurent Weapon Aug) & corrected the left-dashing hitbox (it was not hitting enemies as reliably as it should).
Fixed an issue where Gear+Whirl could be spammed infinitely (instead of having the normal one second CD).
Fixed an issue causing Delta to throw some of his attacks in the wrong direction.
Fixed Delta's Spectres condition being Fully Wack in online co-op. (It now works properly.)
Fixed an issue causing Deepverse Snakes to behave weirdly with Delta's Spectres condition active. (They do now respawn at their initial spawn point - we may keep this behavior.)
Fixed an issue causing Deepverse Snakes to sometimes show the wrong number of body segments in online co-op (sometimes resulting in snakes disappearing before being killed).
Enemies killed before accepting Delta's Spectres condition no longer do odd things.
Updated Armor Integrator's tooltip. (It transforms current Armor into Max HP, and doesn't affect future Armor.)

30XX 0.51 Patch Notes - March 15, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.51 introduces a brand new version of Deepverse's boss battle, adds off-screen hazard indicators for projectiles and speedy enemies, fixes up some annoying enemy behaviors, increases earlygame Memoria gain, increases Nina's base range, and fixes a bunch of bugs!

Legacy's new fight will get some updated visual assets in a soon-to-come patch - making sure it's all tuned and fun before we do all that.

If you'll be at PAX East in Boston from March 23-26, come hang out! We'll be at booth 24084 showing off the future of 30XX's Maker tools (trying that name out! It's the Editor) with some fancy custom-built content.

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Introducing Legacy 2.0! We've reworked Deepverse's Legacy fight pretty thoroughly.
- This rework uses existing visual assets - if the changes prove to be fun, we'll be adjusting some of the assets accordingly (and adding a fourth Shape type).
Enemies that haven't displayed on the screen yet are now immune to damage. (In general, this just means you won't offscreen enemies you didn't even know were there.)
Increased the range (bullet lifetime) of Nina's basic shots to her 20XX levels. (Now that she can't offscreen enemies, it's okay if her shots go offscreen again.)
- This range increase does not affect Scatterbeam or Spiral Beam shots.
Projectiles that are headed your way from offscreen now have an off-screen warning indicator on the edge of the screen. The same behavior also applies to certain enemies that have a tendency to show up on screen suddenly (Ticktock spawns, Bouncy from Deepverse, Bees from Burning Temple, and Stingers from Highvault).
Tiny Flamespewer now obeys Nina's projectile shotgun rules. (For each fireball wave it shoots, only the first hit against each target struck deals full damage, and the rest are sharply reduced.) Tiny Flamespewer was far too powerful, especially against Bosses, since Repros ignore boss invuln frames. (Before this change, a level 2 Flamespewer would hit a boss for 80 damage base each time it attacked, before any bonuses to Power damage.)
- Repros in general are still super powerful - probably too powerful - and we'll be looking at them a bit over the next patch or two.
Clockzone Jumpknights now end their "jump & move" logic earlier if they have a short jump (perhaps because they hit a ceiling, or landed on a drop-through platform).
Clockzone Jumpknights now have a slightly taller attack detection box (so they'll swing at you if you're slightly higher or lower than they are). This means you're less likely to pre-jump their attack, expecting a swing that doesn't happen.
Clockzone Jumpknights no longer slide on slopes occasionally.
Enemies damaged by Dolomite Link have their on-death retaliation effects disabled for one second.
Dolomite Link no longer sometimes fails to complete the vertical boost part of the ability on some moving platforms.
Reduced maximum speed of Eye for an Eye projectiles by 40%.
Fixed an issue causing enemies attached to linear-moving platforms to fly off into the ether sometimes.
Fixed an issue causing enemies to fail to attach to linear-moving platforms.
Fixed an issue causing Ace's sprite to split during a dashing Dolomite Link.
Fixed an issue causing Rollies and Chaser Fish to sometimes slide down slopes at inappropriate times.
Shield Turtles now come to a complete stop when attacking and when not engaged with the player. Narrowed Shield Turtle player-collision box (so it's now harder to bump into it by accident and take damage.) Shield Turtles now function the way you'd expect them to around drop-through platforms.
Fixed the player healthbar not appropriately turning yellow or red at low HP.
Armor Integrator and Doppelgel no longer appear in the next-run shop (where they don't really do anything).
Enemy Barriers (Zen Primus, Shield Statue-protected-enemies) no longer look wack with Enemy Outlines enabled.
Fixed an issue causing Clockzone enemies to either fail to attach to their platform or reset oddly.
Fixed Scrap Sleuth and Scrappy Scrapper not properly interacting.
Fixed a long-standing bug that could cause enemies to fail to render as the client in online co-op after warping a distance. (This mostly applies to Burning Temple's miniboss.)
Fixed an error causing Client items to slowly float upward in online co-op.
Fixed an error causing Blinding Hysteria to pop up Mystery info for basic pickups.
Fixed Loot Omega's nut drops being invisible to the client in online play.
Loot Omega no longer respawns with Delta's Spectres condition active.
Absolution's spawned Voids no longer respawn with Delta's Spectres condition active.
Fixed certain effects raising the character's Max HP to 10 (from 1) unexpectedly.
Fixed Contractor Beta behaving poorly with 1 Max HP.
Fixed Charisma Protocol being too charismatic. (Scrap wasn't being spent as intended.)
Fixed an error allowing players to spend a Token at Slot Machines a few frames before the previous roll completed (resulting in lost rolls).
Fixed Scrap Sleuth not always working as intended.
Increased earlygame Memoria gain. Increased all Memoria gain from miniboss battles.
Fixed a minor visual issue where Wall Lasers would sometimes render one tile shorter than intended (resulting in a small gap between the laser ending on a wall and the impact effect).
Tweaked how Crystal Minis display their warning indicators to make it clearer that they're pointing at their spawner.
Fixed an issue causing the client to sometimes see no valid trade with the Trader in co-op (it happened when the client checked before the host).
Fixed an issue where Ace's Deadly Precision Aug could cause lower or higher than intended damage in Dig Zones.

30XX 0.50 Patch Notes - February 22, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.50 introduces Weapon Augs for Ace - they're powerful upgrades to his Primary Weapon drops that can show up in Contemplation Rooms!

0.50 also reworks Prototypes a bit, iterates on the updated Salvage mechanic, changes up some Delta conditions, adds 10 new Augs in addition to 3 new Prototypes and Ace's 18 new Weapon Augs, and more!

Thanks for playing!

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Added Weapon Augs for Ace!
- Weapon Augs are upgrades for Ace's Weapons that can spawn in Contemplation Rooms in the Silver reward slot.
- Weapon Augs will only spawn for Weapons Ace currently has - the chance to find one increases with the number of unique Weapons Ace currently has (up to a max of 3, at which point finding a Weapon Aug is guaranteed).
- Each Weapon has two Augs (for a total of 18!) - in general, one buffs the basic weapon, and one buffs the Unleash.
Adjusted several aspects of Prototype Augs:
- Prototypes now spawn as a choice of two (up from 1) when encountering a Very Safe Lab. Only one of these can be taken per player.
- Labs are a little less common than before. On average, players will see more overall Prototype choices in a run, but fewer Labs. Due to the very situational nature of many Prototypes, this will still often result in more usable Prototypes per run.
- Prototypes are now split into two buckets they're drawn from - "dicier" ones that have more punishing side effects, and "safer" ones that have less punishing side effects. The two-prototype choice currently picks one from each bucket (and rerolls also reroll among the current bucket).
- Added three new Prototypes!
- Removed the Final Bargain (all max HP becomes nuts) and Out of Business (augs become nuts) Prototypes.
- Consuming Fury now reduces Max HP per level by 15 (down from 20).
- Consuming Stamina now reduces Max HP by 10 (down from 20), and increases Max NRG by 30 (down from 40).
- Consuming Habits now reduces Max HP by 15 (down from 20), and gives 25 nuts (up from 20).
Adjusted several aspects of the Trader:
- The Trader now has a rarity table for the reward offers she makes the player in exchange for Scrapbits. Prior to this patch, the "trade all your Scrapbits for X Cores/Augs/Repros/Nuts/Armor" are much less common, and the other options are more common.
- We're still exploring the new Salvage system, but one thing we aren't crazy about so far is how heavy the output RNG can be - in 0.49, players will almost always exchange several Scrapbits for a grab bag of rewards. While we're okay with this being the best thing to do every now and again, it shouldn't be every run.
- Instead of "trade all!" being the intended way to spend excess Scrapbits, the Trader's main offer -- giving you a reward in exchange for your Scrapbits - can now be regenerated for 1 scrap, whether or not you've previously taken that offer this level. (This means you can spend excess Scrapbits to either get more rewards, or fish for a specific reward.)
- In online co-op, the offer-regenerator function will be available in a hotfix shortly after the patch goes live.
- The Trader no longer spawns on Level 1. Increased overall Trader spawn chance slightly. (This'll result in more usable Traders, since often a level 1 Trader could be found before the player really had anything to trade.)
- The Trader will still spawn on level 1 if forced.
Added 10 new Augs! It's a mix of general-use Augs and Augs that support the revised Salvage system introduced in 0.49.
Fixed an issue causing Echobeast's bouncing sound waves to deal more damage than intended between levels 5-7.
Fixed an issue causing Experiment 9's Divekick attack to cause it to slide on the ceiling instead of stopping appropriately.
Powerless Void Rank 3 no longer contributes to Entropy Level. Better messaging about this will be added in a future patch.
Adjusted Contemplation Room spawn timing. The first few enemies spawn simultaneously, and spawn in more quickly if the player clears them fast. (The rate at which they spawn after the first few if the player isn't clearing them quickly isn't affected.)
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to hang when trading Scrapbits for Cores.
Retaliation effects can no longer trigger after a boss dies. (They didn't hurt, but it probably felt bad if it looked like they did.)
Rebalanced some of Delta's conditions and rewards. In general, numeric rewards now also scale. (Instead of nut rewards always being 20, for example, it now scales a bit depending on the Condition offered & the game level.)
Nutsmasher (Delta's Challenge effect) now costs 3 nuts when damage is taken, down from 5.
Inconvenient Assault (Delta's Challenge effect) now reduces attack damage by 50% (down from 75%) for the level.
Added a new Delta Challenge condition, Vulnerability. Vulnerability increases your damage taken by 2 every time you take damage, and resets at the end of the level.
Fixed an error causing higher level Clockzone Spring Knights to sometimes be invisible.
Head Guardian mines now only deal "explode" damage if they time out. (Destroying them no longer causes splash damage.)
Fixed a crash involving Maker Mode.
Fixed an error preventing online play clients from using the Trader more than once.
Fixed Trader deals Hysteria-duplicating some items it shouldn't.
Fixed Nina's shot origin being in the wrong place while in reverse gravity.
Fixed a bug causing Vagrant's Waltz (Leg) to increase the duration of the Oxjack's Blitz airdash duration.
Fixed a bug causing Shield Statues that have no nearby enemies to buff to stay invulnerable. (This fixes a problem where a Shield Statue spawns as the last enemy in a Contemplation Room.)
Fixed Grandmaster's Unleash not properly causing Exploding Barrels to detonate near enemies.
Fixed a memory leak with Glory Zone and Contemplation Room UI.
Striking an enemy while in a Dig Zone now resets the timer on the Dig Attack.
Fixed an issue causing Ace to show up/down movement animations while in a Dig Zone.
Added a load of new sound effects, including sounds for Spring Knights, Ticktocks, Dig Zones, Dialogue, and more!
Moving the camera while pressing Pause no longer moves the camera during the Pause screen.

30XX 0.49 Patch Notes - February 1, 2023

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.49 overhauls Burning Temple's enemies and mechanics, reworks how Salvaging items works, adds a new NPC that can visit you mid-run, and a bunch more! Thanks for playing! Little light on bugfixes this week - we'll spend some more time there for 0.50. GAME CHANGE

Hello! 30XX Patch 0.49 overhauls Burning Temple's enemies and mechanics, reworks how Salvaging items works, adds a new NPC that can visit you mid-run, and a bunch more!

Thanks for playing! Little light on bugfixes this week - we'll spend some more time there for 0.50.

GAME CHANGES & FIXES:

Updated Burning Temple!
- We've added two new enemy types, the Zen Disciple and Shield Statue. Shield Statues protect nearby enemies, and Zen Disciples pursue the player with uppercuts and divekicks.
- Most Burning Temple enemies have tweaked behaviors, and touching flames from any source in the stage (ground flames, spitter flames, flames generated by other enemies) will Ignite them, causing more dangerous behaviors. (Shield Statues currently don't have a special Ignited ability.)
- Grounded Burning Temple enemies can now be placed on and anchored to moving platforms. (Mostly Snakes.)
Updated the Salvaging system!
- Instead of awarding HP, NRG, Nuts, or Core Points, Salvaging items now always yields Scrapbits. The number of Scrapbits depends solely on the value of the item, and ranges from 1 to 3.
- Scrapbits do nothing by themselves.
- The Trader can now appear mid-run, and will make you some offers to either give her one of your items for some Scrapbits, take some or all of your Scrapbits to award you with one or more items, or sell you a Core Extender.
- Augs that interact with the updated Salvaging system will come in 0.50 (next patch).
- We felt that the current Salvaging system was a little shallow, not super fun, and gave too much access to extra Nuts, HP, and NRG.
Updated Clockzone's Spring Knight! Beta and Gamma variants now have frontal shields that rotate behind them while attacking, changing how the player approaches these enemies.
Effects that grant the player multiple items at once (often randomly) now also show popup text indicating what was acquired (instead of just the pickup flavor text). (Edges of Madness currently doesn't do this, since it's just... all your items.)
Fixed an error causing Gapminder to fail to protect the player from Dustria Grinders.
Burn for Glory now costs 5 HP to fire (down from 10).
Fixed an error causing Cursed Wounds 3 to prevent healing more often than intended.
Fixed an error in local co-op where using Save and Quit could result in only one player being able to choose an Aug from Choice Machines.
Fixed an error in local co-op where using Save and Quit could prevent players from teleporting to one another.
