Version 1.4 is here!!

Equin: The Lantern, perhaps Steam's biggest bang for your buck (and for some of you literally a friggin' buck haha), has now ammased enough updates for an official V1.4 tag!!

Thanks for all of your support in making my roguelike a popular and well-received one here up on Steam ːsteamhappyː

Here's what's new:

----------------------------

ADDITIONS

  • Start New Game and Continue Game are now both separate choices on the main menu. If you decide to start a new game while you have an existing save, it will let you know the old save will be deleted and ask if you really want to go ahead. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221016420 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221019522
  • Upon starting a new game, your guy will tell you "Don't forget to equip my stuff!"
  • Secret passages are now in the game! They are rare but out there, and look identical to normal walls. You will be able to walk right through them. If you're equipped with the new Goggles item the secret passages will have green sparklies. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221011790
  • Dimensional Rifts are now in the game! From floors 41+ you will sometimes see these glowing portals. With each step there is a 1% chance for various enemies to come out of them, including champs and possibly even bosses. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221013604
  • 20 new items have been added to the game, increasing the total amount of items to 360. They are: Goggles, Dirty Fork, Sling Shot, Vine Crossbow, Weebish Flail, Raincoat, Dunce Cap, Pimp Hat, Orb of Out, Corrosive Mace, Buckler of Boom, Dodge Ball, Gloves of Evasion, War Pick, Oak Barrel, Grab Bag, Metal Detector, Wizard's Spear, Crappy Armor, Bush Disguise. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1221015837
  • New sprite for the character when they're wearing the Bush Disguise.
  • 22 new base maps have also been added to the game, 15 of which were designed by ETL player X-Kirby and used with permission. Thank you!
  • The PRAY skill now has a battle effect for clerics

CHANGES

  • The main menu has been completely restructured to fit the new 'continue game' option in.
  • You can now unselect your starting gifts in case you change your mind. You cannot unselect your 3rd or final gift however as it still brings you to the starting bonus screen.
  • The Reaper / Quiet Floor events can now no longer be on floors 30,40, or 50.
  • Killer Plants can now no longer spawn any earlier than the 3rd floor.
  • The Hero (orange tag) gear has been added to a slightly lower tier loot pool.
  • Max Auto Kill rank has been capped at 4.
  • Rol's Hat -> Evasion increased to 12%.
  • Cloak of Evasion -> Evasion increased to 10%.
  • The True Magic Shield was added to the special shop's possible stock for wizards.
  • The "X" / close button on the windows header has been disabled to avoid players accidentally erasing their saves. To properly exit while playing, just select "QUIT" from the menu (which still saves your progress for next time).
  • The Items Found Log has been increased in size to 18 pages to cover the new items.
  • Title screen date changed to 2017.

FIXES

  • The Reaper's Scythe now properly grants the +1 Auto Kill ability.
  • The Thanksgiving Day daily bonus dates were corrected.
  • Wizards can now equip the True Magic Shield, which was an oversight.
  • Fixed it where you could warp into the new dead trees and possibly get stuck.

Thanks, and see you next time!
