Patch 0.6
I finally got around to overhauling my Status Effect code! It was old and sloppy, now I'm pretty happy with it.
I've also overhauled my item generation code, allowing for level-scaling. This allows for much more efficient enemy generation and also allows items you find in the run to be level-scaled (for instance, items you make in the Blacksmith Room)
The shop utilizes the new item generation by scaling its items to levels around your party members
Lastly I changed the character selection screen. All 16 classes are open for each character to play as instead of the old system where there's 8 player clases and 8 ally classes. So now an ally like Damon can be any Warrior, not just the Knight. To keep the character's individuality each one now has a unique trait they gain for the whole run
Unfortunately this update will mess with your current save, so if you notice any issues with old saves it might be best to restart the game
This patch requires a lot more focus. I've noticed the game is harder, items that you're able to equip are reduced in the early game. Since enemy items are going to be scaled to their level more often, you'll have to look more to their loot for upgrading your gear and less at treasure rooms/shops
Bugfixes:
- Fixed the Secret Boss's floor generating too early
- Fixed item slot gold values not reflecting their actual number depending on the Gold Multiplier
- Fixed the Spell List text not aligning properly in the Blacksmith Room after you select an item special
- Fixed the rare item Foresight not granting the first action in combat
- Fixed being able to equip 2 handed weapons with offhands equipped
- Fixed the Deathbringer sometimes using Weakness on dead targets
- Fixed the Gatekeeper's Grimoire Cooldown Reduction not applying the proper amount
Additions:
- Added the Enchantment Room. This allows you to spend gold to apply a random Special onto an item, or to scale it to one of your character's level
- Added the Behemoth. He's a powerful Warrior boss with an emphasis on attacking. His ability, Pummel, deals damage based on his and the target's Maximum Health. His passive, Unrelenting Force, provides Damage Reduction every time he attacks. He has a spawn of 66, meaning you'll only see him when you're two-thirds of the way through your run
- Added the Behemoth's unique weapon, Bone Breaker. This converts Attack Damage Dealt to 25% Max Health Damage
- Added Spell Titles to the Spell List in combat so you can more easily tell quickly which spells are which. As a result of this I moved some spells around so they would fit the spell list properly (this might affect loading issues)
- Added base values to Offhands so that lower-level Offhands still give some small bonus
- Added Traits to ally characters. On the Character Selection screen you can see each trait each ally starts the game with. This trait is a permanent bonus for only that character and allows you to put characters in roles that best suit their trait
- Added level-scaling in the Blacksmith Room. You select the entity you wish to scale the item to and when the item is generated it will be the level of the selected entity
- You can double-click items in the shop to quickly purchase them
- Added a loading bar on the preloader screen. I'm not sure if it's going to work properly because I've been having constant issues with getting this to work right
Changes:
- Overhauled my Status Effect code. Hopefully issues pertaining to the old code are gone
- Overhauled my Item generation code. Items can now have their stats generated off a given level, which is used for enemy generation making it much more efficient. Some items in the run you find will also be level-scaled
- Overhauled Character Selection. All 16 playable classes are open for every character, not just 8 player classes and 8 ally classes. Additionally allies can be assigned to any subclass (for instance, Damon can be a Templar, he's not locked to being a Knight), and each one has a unique trait they have to the whole run (for instance Corinth gains a permanent 35 Health and Mana)
- Shop Rooms now spawn only 24 items as opposed to the original 30, but the room now generates items relative to your party members with levels that are close to their level
- Changed item gold value calculation. I've simplified the calculations and made items have somewhat less value across the board, hopefully making gold worth more in decision-making
- Changed Weapon/Armor/Offhand math calculations. For the most part I tried to keep their calculations similar to before but of course it's not going to be perfect. I put more of an emphasis on the type of item changing the numbers, for example Bastard Swords are going to have higher numbers compared to a similarly-levelled Wand (same thing with Heavy Armor compared to Light Armor)
- Changed the Parrying Dagger. Its bonus is now what you'd expect with something of its name. It provides Attack Damage Reflection instead of an Attack Damage buff
- Changed Quivers. They now give a flat increase to a random main stat as opposed to a percentage change
- Changed slightly some numbers/descriptions of some Godly Items
- The Floor guarantees a Resting Room after combat if there's 3 Combat Rooms in a row
- Change the Deathbringer's Harvest. Instead of providing an inital heal and a bonus heal based on the amount of enemies dead, the spell just heals based on the amount of enemies dead
Nerfs:
- Decreased the Necromancer's Special Weapon, Spirit Stealer, Health and Mana Steal to 20% from 25%
- Decreased the Sharpshooter's Steady Aim second upgrade Critical Strike increase to 10% from 25%
- Decreased the Sharpshooter's Zero In Expose to 35% (20% initial + 15% upgrade) from 50% (30% initial + 20% upgrade)
- Decreased the Marauder's Laceration Bleed to 15% (10% initial + 5% upgrade) from 25% (15% inital + 10% upgrade)
- Decreased the Jester's Jester's Dance Damage to 65% (40% inital + 25% upgrade) from 75% (50% initial + 25% upgrade)
Decreased the Jester's Uncertainty Damage to 75% from 85%
To do:
- Change the Stat Check Room so it's more engaging
- Add the remaining enemies and bosses
- Add more unique items (I have ideas for shop-based items)
