Update 1.36.1 is dedicated to fixing and enhancing many aspects of the game, aiming to make the gameplay much more comfortable. Now, you won't have to spend a lot of time selling your inventory items to the Merchant or worry about accidentally selling/dropping/destroying your valuable items.
And the dungeons themselves have come alive! Now, goblins and certain other creatures are fully animated, as are all friendly NPCs and mercenaries. By the way, did I mention that you can now encounter two new mercenaries?
And somewhere deep within the cold and treacherous depths of the Prison, someone vulnerable and infinitely loyal is already waiting for you...
CHANGELOG:
[GAMEPLAY]
- After constructing a new building, the Trapper will appear in the Camp. With his help, you can exchange and upgrade pets directly in the dungeon without returning to the Fortress
- Upon purchasing the new "Trading rows" building, players will have the ability to lock any item in their inventory. A locked item cannot be accidentally sold, destroyed, or dropped until the player removes the lock
- After upgrading the "Trading rows" to level two, players can quickly sell all inventory items to the Merchant, except for the locked ones
- A new pet has been introduced. It can be found in the Abandoned Prison after 7th floor, provided that the "Trapper's shack" has been built
[GENERATION]
- After the 15th floor in the Camp, you can encounter new mercenaries (Berserker and Wizard). A squad can still only have a maximum of 2 mercenaries at a time
- Several new traps have been added
- Some objects in the rooms of the Catacombs and Prison that were always found there, now appear by chance
[BALANCE]
- When lifting a curse from an altar, characters now gain experience only after defeating all waves of enemies, rather than each wave. There can no longer be more than 3 waves, and the chance of the altar being cursed has been reduced (from 50% to 20%)
- When destroying the Merchant's chest, not only does he become hostile, but also all other characters in the Camp
- The attacks of the Wandering Troll and Tamed Troll now have a knockback effect and deal damage to everyone, including their allies
- The base defense value for the item "Silent face" has been reduced from 145 to 105
- Poisoning from impassable poison puddles and clouds found in the Catacombs is now less dangerous
- The level of creatures that appear when destroying objects (like Larvae) has been halved
- When sacrificing a pet, there's a 35% chance that one of its attributes will decrease by 1
[MISC]
- An automatic backup saving system has been added in dungeons, which should restore progress in case of a crash (but it's better not to rely on it, and save manually through "Save and Exit" in regular dungeons or in the Camp)
- Surviving characters can now directly purchase passive items in the store, even if they already have items of that type in their inventory
- All daggers are now displayed on the character when equipped
- All friendly NPCs and mercenaries are now fully animated
- Goblins, trolls, regular zombies, and drowned are fully animated
- Dialogues now display the interlocutor's portrait
- Added the ability to use a gamepad to configure companion behavior and change the size of the mini-map
- The appearance of Goblin-Wizards and Goblin-Executioners has been updated
- The appearance of arrows used by Goblin-Archers has been updated
- The Camp's floor appearance has been updated
- After constructing a Pen in the Camp, a small fenced area for pets will appear
- Some troll sounds have been replaced
- The skill description "Sign of Sacrifice" has been changed: it now more accurately reflects the effect's action (increases all damage taken by the creature, rather than reducing its defense). The effect applied to enemies has been renamed to "Vulnerability"
- Next to the skill upgrade button on the character selection screen, a skill point icon is now displayed
- The cost of buying new abilities for pets in skill points and gems is now displayed in one cell to avoid confusion
- In Settings, you can disable the display of legs for animated characters (may affect performance)
- Playtime statistics now display hours and minutes separately (previously only minutes were displayed)
- New character statistics fields have been added ("Used Crosses of Life")
- An additional warning has been added if you press return to the Fortress instead of loading the saved dungeon
[FIXED]
- Improved performance with large floor sizes and multiple active objects
- Daily tasks weren't saved when transferring progress via the cloud
- When transitioning between floors, players always ended up in the same version of the Treasury and Ambush
- When using the Rune of Greed, it was impossible to get to the new version of the Treasury
- When upgrading legendary quality items at the Forge, gems weren't highlighted in the inventory, even if the item had empty slots
- When selling items to the Merchant, their value was not displayed in the inventory
- When buying consumables, it wasn't possible to manually enter a specific quantity
- Cells on the pet ability purchase screen did not adapt to wide screens
- When killing enemies with a weapon that has the "Exploder" effect, they were counted twice in task completion statistics
- The "Murderer" effect was incompatible with the "Empty bowl" artifact
- Cursed items lost their negative effect when upgraded at the Forge
- The Source of Corruption did not attack the enemy
- Wights used the "Jump" ability too often
- Effects applied to NPCs in the Camp persisted indefinitely
- Boxes from which a rat might jump out simply broke when approached by a character after clearing a floor
- Using instant healing after clearing a floor or a Well, mercenaries and pets didn't restore their HP
- The lock icon was not displayed on the buttons of the second and third artifacts if the corresponding level of the "Artifact Workshop" building was not constructed
- When opening the mini-map while moving, it shifted in the direction the character was moving
