Notes
- This patch is the return to normalcy as I come back to work on the game. I focused hard to get lots of enemies done in this patch because I want to finish all of them soon so that the rest of development time can be spent refining aspects and fixing bugs. ALL non-boss enemies are done and added in the game! A breakdown of every added enemy is found below.
Bugfixes
- Fixed some minor issues with status effect descriptions
- Fixed an exploit with Constitution/Intelligence that allowed you to full restore your health/mana with stat points
- Fixed the post-combat screen not reviving dead party members
- Fixed the Forgotten King casting Cowardice on dead Bandits
Changes
- Shatter no longer converts Attacks taken into percent Maximum Health Divine Damage. Any damage taken now deals additional percent Maximum Health Divine Damage. This is to prevent rare scenarios in which the Divine Damage ends up dealing less damage than the original damage
- The Marauder's Deep Cuts now Shatters by 15% instead of 25%. This isn't necessarily a nerf since Shatter now activates when the target takes either Attack or Spell Damage instead of just Attack Damage
- Harder difficulties give much higher chances of getting more enemies in combat. Nightmare now guarantees 4 enemies every combat!
Additions
- Added further functionality for custom status effect names and description. This will allow for more unique and descriptive effects during combat to better differentiate where effects came from. I'll start updating older effect code to implement these new additions in later patches

Known Issues
- When you have an equipped offhand and you destroy it, two-handed weapons in your inventory do not update their visuals to show you're able to equip them. This is purely cosmetic and won't prevent you from equipping them
- When you use the enchantment room to scale an item to a character's level, the item's new properties don't immediately apply. You have to unequip and re-equip the item to get the new values
- There seems to be an issue with enemy generation if you play the game for a long time. I've gotten reports of the game attempting to generate multiple enemies but there only being one in the combat room with the game throwing an error. I'm trying to figure out where this issue is stemming from
- The game experiences rare crashes when doing specific things that are really hard to pin down since I can't recreate the issues. In almost every scenario a solution is to restart the game. You'll have to do that until I can figure out the problem
To-Do
- Repair Room. This room will allow you repair your items, removing negative conditions or applying positive ones. This room will also allow you to upgrade your item rarities, for a price of course! This will allow for your items to have better multipliers than they otherwise could get from spawning naturally
- Run modifiers. I want to add some optional modifiers to make the game more interesting. Maybe something like permadeath or persistent buffs/debuffs to make any given run easier/harder for the player
- Change the way enemies level up. Right now they are always the level of your party members, but I feel this makes the experience multiplier worthless. An idea I have floating around is giving the enemies a set pool of experience based on your run length and current floor, not affected by your experience multiplier. This would mean you could curve faster than enemies, which will make the experience multiplier a stat you will actually need to take care of if you want to get ahead
- As I put in more enemies and more spells, I get a better understanding of what my code is capable of. I want to make spells that are extremely dynamic and unique for each class. I'd like to spend some time going through older classes I've made and see if they could use any sort of tweaking to bring them up to my current standards
