Greetings Sealers! It's update time again. I've been working extremely hard for the last two months cooking up this update (I swear I'm almost done polishing old content!). I'm excited to share these improvements, but really excited to be *this* much closer to working on spicy new content in the coming months. Have fun deciphering the frantic scribbles of a mad game designer reading the patch notes!
- Logan
General:
Recoded interaction system:
- It's no longer possible for a single interact press to do multiple things (like pickup an item and activate the boss seal at the same time).
- What you're interacting with is now based on distance, you'll always select the closest available interactable.
- Multiple players can no longer interact with the same thing at the same time.
- Various other changes. This was a lot more work than it should have been but hey adding more interactable in the future will be easy.
Active Items:
- Player huds now display your 4 bound active items.
- Consumables are no longer deleted when out of charges.
- You can now discard active items from the item wheel.
- Added a new potion shrine that refills one use of every potion in your inventory.
- All potions now have a 1 second cooldown.
- Cooldowns and uses now shown in compendium.
- Updated lots of active items, see item changes below.
Added zoom scale option!
- High resolution monitors can now select render scales beyond 4x.
- Updated default settings to 4x render & 1.25x zoom.
Polish:
- Updated general vfx.

- Updated rooted status effect vfx.
- Updated players taking damage vfx.
- Updated void replicator & brewer sprites.
- Updated shop sprites.
- Updated chest open vfx & sfx.
- Updated item pickup vfx & sfx.
- Updated gold pickup sound.
- Added vfx and sfx for spending gold.
- Updated hud health bars.

Optimizations:

- Optimized enemy health bars.
Tweaks:
- Duplicate buff icons now stack.
- Some buff icons show power level now.
- Damage numbers can now stack together into one.
- Damage numbers below 1.0 are no longer rounded down to 0. They now display as smaller text with two decimal accuracy e.g.,"0.12".
- Healing numbers no longer draw if the target is at full health.
- Sealers now draw over many vfx.
- Downed sealers are now taken to the boss seal upon activation.
- Added/updated some tutorials.

- Cooldown Reduction cap increased from 80% to 95%.
- General enemy health and damage scaling slightly tweaked.
- Adjusted enemy spawn lists.
Economy:
Keystones are no longer converted to gold at the end of the zone.
Updated gold prices for all interactables to a new consistent system.
- Enemy gold drop scaling and price scaling should match now.
In co-op, Each player now has their own gold and keystones to spend.
- Collected gold is given to all players equally regardless of who picks it up.
- Keystones are not shared, whoever picks up the item receives the keystone.
- Gold costs are now increased by 50% per additional player.
- Shrine uses are now increased by 1 for each additional player.
Decimal gold drops updated from rounding to random chance.
- Because gold could only exist in integer values there was some weirdness with how drops scaled. If an enemy's base gold drop was 1 and the prices were scaled up by 40%, the gold drop value becomes 1.4. This value used to be rounded (in this case down to 1) so a 40% increase wouldn't increase gold drops at all. Now it drops 1 gold and then has a 40% chance to drop another 1 gold.
