Hey all,
Version 0.20.7b is out on stable branch. This is the last planned major update before 1.0 that I plan for December 2025. Here you can find the remaining "big" things. If you are interested in the updates as they are developed, or just want to chat, check out Lost Flame's Discord server
The update contains several major changes, and a long list of smaller fixes and improvements.
MAJOR
Unique Item Refinements
This is the largest part of this update. Each single unique item can be refined up to 3 times to gain unique hand-made effects for even more build customization. Here are a few examples:
Items can be refined by Aveline, a new NPC you will encounter at some point. A new resource - witchglass - is required to do so.
New ending
The update introduces a new difficult ending tied to Violet Pepper. The ending is a little more complex than others, if you don't mind some spoilers you can check them here.
Enemy lookup info
Now you can 'L'ook at the enemies and get to see their abilities, effects and rough stats.
