Blackfaun patch 0.7.33 is now live! Check out the full patch notes below:
GENERAL
- Overall difficulty increase: We’ve heard from many that the game could be more challenging. We’ve made changes across the board to offer players a greater challenge. Judicious use of your mana burst and candles will now be essential on the hardest difficulties.
- Doors now lock when the player enters a room until all enemies have been cleared.
- Enemy AI has been greatly improved. Enemies are now smarter and deadlier.
- Enemy spawn rate has been increased.
- Boss rooms are now 3x3, down from 4x4.
- Increased tower spawn rates in all environments.
- Faster game flow: Getting from room to room, especially when backtracking was taking too long. We’ve made a number of changes to make the action more intense, including reducing room size and corridor length.
- Ancient wisps: We’ve replaced treasure chests that grant random HP and stat bonuses (“empty chests”) with ancient wisps. There are 3 types of ancient wisps, VIT, INT, and AGI, one for each stat type indicated by matched colors. When the player collects an Ancient Wisp it will grant a stat bonus of the corresponding type and an HP boost. In addition, there is a chance that a treasure chest will drop upon collection.
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue causing a console error when continuing a game after death.
- Fixed an issue that was preventing the Boulderscale, the Hungering Wurm sprite from showing up properly on the recap screen.
- Fixed an issue causing a console error when Pan is hit with a projectile.
- Fixed an issue causing the vendor to sometimes sell chests that contain consumables which would cost additional gold to pick up.
- Bosses now always spawn chests that contain equipment.
- Various tooltips and stat calculations were fixed to display the proper values.
