Hi everyone, it's been a while, here are the patch notes for this update, I focused on improving the endless mode and some issues you guys pointed.

Added xp bonus, weapon area and knock back stats to the pause stats.
Quitting a match will now show the game over screen.
Decreased pause stats font size.
Changed pause stats position, it was covering the level bar.
Tripled the hp of Necromancer summons, they were instantly dying.
Limited max level to 255.
Limited max level of every skill, that did not have a max level, to 10.
Originally the endless mode was intended to be a late game mode, but since then the game has evolved so much, with in game upgrades being stronger and meta progression being so much bigger, the endless mode ended being almost just as hard as normal mode, so it's receiving a much needed buff.

Endless movement speed multiplier increased from 20% to 50% per loop.
Endless health multiplier increased from 100% to 200% per loop.
Endless Mode now spawns the Stage Boss at the end of a loop.
Endless Mode Boss health bar will be on top of the sprite, instead of being on the UI.
Also the full version of Roguevive will be released between the end of April and the start of May. Depends on how fast I can finish all the content I am currently working on. The content being.

3 new stages.
20 new skills.
Weapon Upgrades.
A mission system to unlock the new skills.
New upgrades on the Upgrades Tree.
Improve the balancing.
So thanks everyone for the continuous support and feedback.

Patch Notes

Now you can level up the upgrade tree by Left clicking and refund individual upgrades by Right clicking.
"Improved Arsenal" upgrade moved to the middle row, for easier Controller navigation.
Limited the FPS to 120, will add an option to unlimit it on a later update.
Fixed a bug where some enemies would spawn when the game was paused.
Fixed Starfall spawning multiple Stars before level 5.
Fixed Living Needle not working correctly on multiplayer.
Fixed Necromancer animations not working on multiplayer.
Remade how the physics and enemy AI works.
Slowed down ranged enemy aiming so they are not as precise.
While the game will have the same feel, the physics is completed reworked, so any wonky activity, please let me know.
Also it should really improve the performance when there are a lot of enemies on screen.
Again, thanks for the feedback everyone.

BIG THANKS to everyone who played the game, it was really cool to see so many players.
I will work on translating Roguevive along this week, so if you wanna see the game on a specific language, feel free to make a request.
But I guess if you are reading this, you are reading English already? Dunno
While the translations are important, I feel the game lacks content for now, so I will try to focus on that as Well, my plan is to Develop at least 7 maps till the end of this year.
Again a BIG Thanks to everyone that played.
See ya on the next update and on the Discussion Section.
