The game has been patched to add new symbols, items, features, and bug fixes!
New Content
- Added 14 new symbols (4 Common, 6 Uncommon, 4 Rare)
- Added 9 new items (3 Common, 4 Uncommon, 1 Rare, 1 Very Rare)
- Modified 6 existing symbols (changes listed under Game Balance)
- Modified 4 existing items (changes listed under Game Balance)
New Features
- Added a logging system for improved bug reporting, please upload your log files when reporting bugs from now on in the official discord (a new log file is created whenever a new run of Luck be a Landlord starts, the log file directory can be opened by pressing F8 while in-game)
- Destroyed Symbols and Items are now displayed on the Inventory screen
- The total number of Symbols and Items are now displayed on the Inventory screen
- The Options menu now has a back button that will go back to the previous screen (rather than closing the entire menu)
- The Danish translator's Twitter page is now linked to under Options/Credits
- Added an option under Options/Audio that will mute the game if the window is unfocused
Game Balance
- Compost Heap is now Uncommon (instead of Common) and has the additional effect of "Seeds will only grow into Uncommon or better symbols."
- Purple Pepper now gives 5 coins when its requirements are met (instead of 3)
- Red Pepper now gives 5 coins when its requirements are met (instead of 3)
- Yellow Pepper now gives 2 coins when its requirements are met (instead of 3)
- Banana Peels now destroy themselves after destroying Thieves
- Bounty Hunters now give an additional 10 coins whenever they destroy a Thief
- Thieves now give 4x the coins they've stolen when destroyed (instead of 3x) and steal even if they are destroyed in the same spin
- Monkeys now give 7x the value of symbols they destroy (instead of a flat 15 coins) and destroy two new symbols: Coconut and Coconut Half
- Midas Bomb now makes symbols it destroys give 7x more coins (instead of 10x more)
- Hex of Emptiness' description has been reworded for improved clarity (it's still functionally the same)
The above balance changes were made for the following reasons:
Compost Heap would frequently flood a player's inventory with Seeds, which would often have a negative impact on the game. Compost Heap was also the only item that could appear from an Item Capsule with a potentially negative effect on the game. For this reason, the item has been made Uncommon and has had its power level made more in line with other Uncommon Items.
Purple Pepper and Red Pepper are currently the two pepper items with the most difficult requirements to achieve. For this reason, the amount of coins they give when their requirements are met has been increased. The inverse is true for Yellow Pepper.
The changes to Banana Peels, Bounty Hunters, and Thieves were made to make Thief a more viable symbol overall.
Midas Bomb now gives a 7x multiplier (instead of 10x) to bring down its power level slightly, while still keeping it one of the most powerful symbols.
Hex of Emptiness' description was changed as many players were confused as to what it actually did (before adding the symbol and seeing it in action).
Please let me know your thoughts either in the comments or on the official discord!
