New Beta Branch Update 0.8.9-b

IMPORTANT: How to try the beta branch?

Steps to try out the beta branch of the game:

  • In your game library right click on "Rogue Empire -> Properties"
  • In properties select the "Betas" tab
  • On the drop down select the version: beta - Beta testing for next release

This branch has logs enabled to be more verbose so that I get more info from you guys when you sent them to me (this might make it a little more annoying if you get an error).

New features:

  • Added swap actions capabilities to the action bar.
  • Separated resistance into sub categories and re balanced it.
  • Added resistance gear.
  • Upgraded food system and balanced game accordingly. More info Here.
  • Added randomize race and class buttons when starting a new game.
  • Shape shifted druids now have unique attack animations.

Bug Fixes:

  • I think I fixed all issues with the action bar.
  • Improved inventory performance.
  • Fixed beta build bug where levels would regenerate under certain conditions.
  • Fixed bug where enemies would not attack the character if on an open chest

Balance changes:

  • Balance: With the new resistance gear, none physical resistance rating growth by attributes was reduced by 75%.
  • Balance: Warrior's Focus blow miss chance has been increased slightly.
  • Balance: Enemies got theirs hit points increased by 20%-30% and their regeneration decreased by 50%
  • Balance: Item drop rate increased by ~15%.
  • Balance: Low tier enemies now upgrade their weapons (doing more damage) after certain amount of levels when they appear on later dungeons.
  • Balance: Assassin's stealth is now weight dependent instead of armor mitigation dependent. This is triggered after going over the 70% armor ratio. The idea is give the chance make a heavy armored assassin but with less consumables because of weight vs a less armored assassin with more consumables/situational tricks.

Other changes:

  • Renamed keys to reflect what they open.
  • Movement should be a little smother.

Happy dungeon crawling!
