Build 0.389 of Monastery is now available! This update introduces a map overhaul, various visual upgrades and some other improvements, along with bug fixes. On behalf of the team at Lycan Studio, thank you all for playing Monastery and providing valuable feedback!
Map Overhaul
The map has undergone a complete visual and functional overhaul. Bosses can now be selected in different areas. Once a boss has been chosen, the progress in that area will continue until that boss has been defeated. Elites are randomized but indicated in advance, and by clicking on the scroll icon next to a boss or elite portrait, you can read more about that specific enemy.
Optimization
This update introduces optimizations to asset loading, improving RAM and VRAM usage.
Game Balance Changes
- Difficulty can now be changed by clicking on the mirror at the headquarters.
- Corruption growth has been slowed down on easy and medium difficulty levels, making early progression significantly easier.
- Players will now be rewarded at the end of failed runs. These rewards will be randomized based on which stage the player failed on. In the future, rewards will possibly be given after abandoned runs as well.
