Experimental Mode now available!
You can toggle it from the main menu anytime.
You are strongly recommended to backup your savefile before enabling it, as experimental content is... experimental.
This is a significant update that introduces Experimental Mode. It gives a preview of the upcoming features. It is available in all languages, even when the experimental mode popup is written in English.
For those of you who do not want to try experimental, that is completely fine. Treat this as a roadmap of future content. Content like EXP potions may be released as spread out regular updates if it is too large for a single official update.
Below are what experimental mode unlocks:
Home Revamp
Home stats are now permanent in experimental mode.
New upgrade: SP multiplier (still under consideration as an upgrade, may or may not be official)
New upgrade: Shard multiplier
New currency: Cherries
You can now use right click to disassemble potions, to get Cherries.
There is a known issue where cherries reset upon ascending, I will fix this in tomorrow's update!
Potion Crafting
Cherries can then be used to craft a new random potion type and tier.
This is the only way to acquire the T6 potion.
Cherry costs are subject to balancing.
New Book Equipment
The book is now a rare drop after 500m.
The higher the rarity of the book, the more possibilities of additional lines and effects.
New Companions
Macaw - unlocks higher critical tiers
Disco Crab - increases spawn rate for a short duration
New equipment stat lines
Several equipment have been buffed and have new stats added to them. Lines are subject to rebalancing changes.
Mystic Hat & Glove: Minimum and Maximum damage now appear together as two lines
Mystic Glove: Ignore enemy defense +x%
Legendary Pants: Heal x% of Max HP each second
Legendary Cape: x% chance to not consume mana
Book: Sentinel EXP +x%
Uncommon Book: Dungeon boss EXP +x%
Rare Book: x% EXP reduction to level up
Epic book: Double EXP orb chance +x%
Legendary Book: x% chance of 5x exp
Mystic Book: x% chance of +1 Growth Point when leveling up
Ancient Book: x% chance of +2 Growth Point when leveling up
New ascension ability / quality of life:
This ability is temporarily unlocked by default in experimental mode for testing purposes only.
Auto level up skills (there are no unlock conditions for now during the testing phase. This is temporary and will be changed in official release or when new challenges get added as a challenge unlock reward)
EXP Potions
A new potion type: 'Potion of Wisdom' has been added. It increases EXP gain.
These will release separately soon.
New Crit Tiers
Add Hyper Crit and Omega Crit tiers, which are unlocked by a new companion.
If you have achieved more than 100% Mega Crit Rate, you need to unlock the Macaw companion to see the new crit tiers.
And more in future...?
These are not the only things planned. There will still be more coming that isn't written here, from new content to quality-of-life improvements such as auto-enhance that unlock from new systems.
Disclaimer: Experimental Content is subject to changes, rebalancing, buffs and nerfs. Content should not be assumed to be identical at release. As much as possible, I will do my best to not reset items and progress from experimental mode upon transitioning to the full release, but if there are exploits or game-breaking issues discovered, home stats, cherries, or specific experimental content may be reset. For the most part though, I try to avoid making changes that result in progress loss, similar to the previous experimental update where all progress was kept.
As always, I will make adjustments based on feedback, and do let me know if you face issues. I am also very active on Discord should you need help urgently.
I've been putting out daily updates and listening to your feedback. If you've enjoyed the game, consider leaving a review. It would really help me and Siegeturtle reach new people. More people also helps improve the game for everyone :)
