Weekly Patch 3
Hello everyone. We are back from vacation, rested and ready to jump back into continuing to improve The Last Hex. We managed to get a bit done this week as we are ramping up for the future.
TL;DR
Biggest changes this week include a couple things
- Events now have a difficulty rating. Higher the rating the more likely it will be something deadly. Because of this change, event enemies no longer scale. If you decide to go into a 3 or 4 skull event in level 1, you may have a bad time. But if you leave, the event reshuffles back into the event order and you will see it again, so you will not miss out on the rewards for the run.
- Initiate, Adventurer and Hero difficulties now have different map lengths. With Initiate being the shortest and Hero being the longest.
- Lastly I made some visual changes for damage on player and enemy to know what the damage is coming from (poison, bleed, expose, ect ect)
Latest version 0.7.8.22
New
- Initiate, Adventurer and Hero now have different map lengths for ease of play
- In survival you can only move forward and not backtrack now
- Added status effects that player and enemy had to defeated screen
- Events now have a rating system.
- Event enemies do not level depending on where you face them because we now show difficulty. Every event crab will be the level 1 crab, every highwayman will be level 3, and every undead will be level 6.
- Also because of the addition of showing event rating, harder events will now shuffle back into event order so that they will be seen again. this only applies when leaving the event at the start.
- Added ability to see all unlocked cards even if unowned.
- Added Events to compendium
- Steam cloud has been enabled
- Added a new trigger point for fights, certain effects and cards will only trigger if a card is played. IE Expose,bolster will only work if the card actually hits now; This also extends to potions and items - Last breath poison only works if card hits. And this should fix multi play card issues triggering multiple times with multi proc items
- Added new text display when attacking/evading/being shocked. Saying what kind of damage was dealt and for how much.
