Hi there. It's been a while. Sorry for the radio silence here, but as compensation, here's the largest update I've ever released for DI so far.
This update is disgustingly big, adding a bunch of things, reworking way more things, and just making everything more gooder.
this update was so large i had to split the changelog into 3 parts:
NEW STUFF:
NEW MODIFIER: Daily Challenge - Force enables all unlocks, but disables progression. Sets a custom random seed. Play a unique run everyday and compare your score with friends.
NEW MODIFIER: Weaponized - All shop weapons get a random positive and negative trait. Each weapon has it's own unique pool of traits to choose from. You can see the traits on each weapon in the Shop UI and in the Catalogue Menu.
NEW RANDOM EVENT: Slow Healing - Healing Power and Regen Speed are 50% worse.
NEW RANDOM EVENT: Fatigue - Every Fresh Kill you get grants you -1.5% Weapon Speed for the rest of the wave.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Debased - Your weapon progressively gets worse and worse base damage until you reload or switch weapons.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Wide Angle Lens - Increases horizontal Bullet Spread by 35%.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Point Blank - Increases Bullet Spread by 35%.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Shielded Foes - Reduces incoming damage by 30% to foes that are undamaged.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Expired Food - Healing/Regen items give 35% less health.
NEW QUEST DEBUFF: Deep Wounds - Regeneration is 50% slower.
NEW PASSIVE ITEM: Modified Stomach - Grants +20% Max HP, but reduces Healing Power and Regen Speed by 5%. (ONLY AVAILABLE IN DAILY RUNS)
NEW PASSIVE ITEM: Quantum Bullets - Random chance to gain +1 projectile and +0.4 piercing. (ONLY AVAILABLE IN DAILY RUNS)
NEW PASSIVE ITEM: Fresh Frenzy - Healing Power is 30% worse. Gain +0.3% Max HP PERMANENTLY every time you get a Fresh Kill. (ONLY AVAILABLE IN DAILY RUNS)
REWORKS/REBALANCES:
DAMAGE REWORK: All health values are now 10x more precise, allowing for smaller changes to health and damage across the entire game. AKA, you'll notice smaller damage upgrades being more effective now.
DAMAGE REWORK (Part 2): All DMG multipliers will now scale exponentially, making the game slightly easier.
DAMAGE REWORK (Part 3) - Healing and Regen items can now be scaled by Passive Items, making them heal more or less.
DAMAGE REWORK (Part 4) - Regeneration is now 10x smoother, and can be slowed/hastened by Passive Items.
DAMAGE REWORK (Part 5) - Added support for Max HP increases/decreases. Max HP buffs will also retroactively scale borrowed HP from debts to prevent cheese.
ACCURACY REWORK - All weapons now have their own custom Bullet Spread, which is separate from inaccuracy and recoil. This allows for the creation of custom weapon spray patterns, which are unaffected by recoil and inaccuracy. Currently only 2 spray patterns are used across all of the weapons. Does not apply to melee attacks.
Crosshair now has a "Detailed" mode which separates the new Bullet Spread from the inaccuracy and recoil.
ARMOR REWORK - All armors are now weaker and cheaper across the board, but now uses the same system that Passive Items do, allowing for much more interesting armor mechanics. Armor can now also display their own custom UI elements on the HUD.
Top Hat Armor - Now grants +25% Protection and +50 Durability.
Top Hat :) Armor - Now grants +50% Protection and +35 Durability, but you gain +1 durability each time you get a Fresh Kill.
Bow Tie Armor - Now grants +40% Protection and +40 Durability, plus gives you up to +13% Weapon Speed based on the Bow Tie's durability.
Party Hat Armor - Now grants +75% Protection and +150 Durability, but the durability will decrease by 0.3 every second that enemies are still alive.
Debilitated Modifier - Will now only apply a debuff to you upon entering a wave while not in debt, instead of every wave.
Stun Crossbow Weapon - No longer has pixel-perfect accuracy.
Double Shotgun Weapon - Bullet Spread is now the same as Green Shotgun, but horizontal spread is 100% wider.
Grenade Launcher Weapon - Will now always gib enemies. 20% of the total damage is now dealt upon impact instead of on the explosion.
P.P.D.S. Weapon - Reduced Fresh Bonus and Base Damage by ~50%.
Defenseless Debuff - Now only buffs nearby foes by 50% instead of 65%.
Encumbered Debuff - Now grants -6% Weapon Speed per weapon, instead of -8%.
Fake Bullet Debuff - Can now lower your total damage all the way down to 0.1.
Loose Grip Debuff - Now gives +50% Recoil, instead of a flat +2.
Rotten Weapons Debuff - Now gives -1 Fresh Bonus instead of -2.
Food Coma Debuff - Now gives up to -15% Player Speed instead of -20%.
Torn Pockets Debuff - Reduced chance for player to lose money on hit.
Yielding Debuff - Now grants -20% Player Speed upon taking damage instead of -35%.
Broken Glasses Debuff - Reduced the inaccuracy debuff by 50%.

Big Bullets Passive - Now grants +50% Recoil instead of a flat +1.
Bonus Armor Passive - Now does nothing if you do not have any Armor equipped.
Compact Gunpowder Passive - Changed completely. Now grants better DMG and worse accuracy depending on the number of projectiles on your current weapon. Has diminishing returns.
Hat Hat Passive - Can now reduce incoming damage all the way down to 0.1.
Jump Shot Passive - Now also reduces Bullet Spread.
Spray n Pray Passive - Gives less inaccuracy, but now also grants +15% worse Bullet Spread.
Super Glue Passive - Now makes your weapons recover from recoil +15% better.
Too Many Bullets Passive - No longer reduces accuracy, as that's done automatically by the weapons themselves.
Wealth Jar Passive - Maximum Amount capped to 3, now also reduces your Max HP by 25%.
Throwable Bombs Consumable - Now always gib enemies.
Adjusted the prices and spawn chances of most of the items in the game.
Random Events - Rebalanced chances of a majority of the event to occur.

Added the option to disable the Fresh Colors on the crosshair.
Added the menu star background to the Canvases in Level 1 and 2's shops.

Added progression checks to all unlocks in the game, giving the player/game the option to prevent new items from being unlocked. (Used for Daily Runs.)

Fixed speed calculations on Motion Blur and Speed Demon and Sesame Seeds.

Death Marked enemies will now always properly gib if their gibhealth value is changed.
Tweaked the weapon recoil offset code to prevent the weapon sprite from ever being completely off screen.
Fixed the fix for the teleport fix for the Shop Stalls.
Added new Shop Inventory items that can influence shop stalls in various ways, including adding new UI elements.
Added new warnings to the Exit Popup which tells the player to do things like "you only have 1 weapon" or "you dont have any armor equipped" or "you don't have a side quest equipped".
Ghost Shops now tell you to upgrade the shop to reveal the corresponding shop.
Level 2 only - Now displays the next Arena every time the Arena changes.
Added more stats to the player stats HUD on the fullscreen map.
Added ability for Passive Items to add custom UI elements to the Catalogue Menu.
Added another check to Passive Items to allow them to hide from the Item HUD without also hiding from the Catalogue Menu.
Fixed the New Game Menu's Swag Bar positioning.
Added more info to the Death Screen, like the current level, random seed, whether or not you disabled progression, etc.
Replaced the base accuracy stats of all the weapons with the new Bullet Spread mechanic.
Fixed P.P.D.S. continuing to fire even when out of ammo.
Added decimal support to health/damage values in all HUD elements and in Damage Numbers.
Reduced the size of Damage Numbers.

You now must remove your old Armor in order to purchase new Armor in the shop.
