And it's a friggin' doozy ːsteamhappyː
ADDITIONS
- Minor elemental effects SINGE, CHILL, and SPARK were added to some weapons. These act like mini versions of the Wizard spells FLAMES, ICE, and ZAP. Now classes other than Wizards can have access to these never-missing magics.
- New Obstacle: Locked Doors. From floors 15+ you may encounter a door with a huge lock on it. Any class can attempt to pick the lock, with Thieves being the best at it and Clerics the worst. If you are unsuccessful don't worry it's not like chests and there's no trap damage. Locked doors are there to slow you down, as each lockpick failure advances a turn and therefore monsters may close in on you faster.
- New boss monster, the Fuzzy Chicken! Little and cute, this guy rarely shows up on floor 10 in place of the Troll. Unlike the Troll he has many magical attacks and worth much more XP if defeated. I've also updated the Steam Boss Guide with this guy's stats and etc.
- New enemy battle option: ROAR. This mighty roar increases enemy attack power by 50% (can only be used once per battle). Some enemies and several bosses now have this.
- Enemies now have their own little buff / debuff icons in battle. These appear on the right side of the screen beneath their HUD display and are pretty helpful.
- Dead trees will now start to appear from floors 35+
- More daily bonuses added, including Thanksgiving Day.
- Many new stats and etc appear on the "Special" screen now, including the exact XP bonus provided by having a full Hit Streak gauge.
- The more money you have, the higher odds a shop will appear on the next floor now. The big thresholds to watch for are $2000, $5000, and $10000. Otherwise the shop spawn rate remains unchanged.
CHANGES
- Max enemy spawn count was slightly reduced (from map size / 20 to map size / 25). Though Equin The Lantern has tons of combat in it, I wanted to streamline it a bit more like the Auto Kill feature did before. To balance things out, all enemies are worth +50% more XP now. Each fight counts more.
- Campfire Sets can now be set up in more places than they used to. So aside from a clean dirt spot you can set them up on top of empty barrels, chests, pots and patches of grass to name a few. Thanks ErikaUnlimited for the idea to do this!
- Spazz Weed pots now have improved graphics. Those always bugged me!
- Using an Unlocking Scroll will now open any locked doors as well as trapped chests.
- Using a Pest Scroll will now kill any trees and change them into the new Dead Tree sprites.
- The Warrior's Glove now has a +1% critical hit chance to it.
- Changed Tip #70 to- "Many items and weapons can be used while still in your backpack. Experiment!" And it's true. Everyone should be doing this a little haha..
FIXES
-
None this time.
Everybody have a safe and happy holiday season!
