Patch Notes (v1.4.2.4) // Teleport Grief Safeguard & Message Log


ATTENTION!
SAVE FILES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE NO LONGER VALID


BUGFIXES

  • Weapon/Shield Class wouldn't be shuffled correctly on Startup, now ensuring it's the same set as stored in the Seed.
  • Fixed a rare crash due to 'Karmic Reveal' trying to access coords outside boundaries.


TWEAKS / BALANCING 

  • Slightly increased amount of Provisions on all Difficulty Levels.
  • Implemented soft "Grief Safeguard" for Teleport Traps: whenever teleporting randomly, game always took care to not spawn you into Rooms where the only exits are Dark Arcane Barriers, however it could still spawn you into Areas with only Locked Doors around you, and if you haven't had a Key equipped, with the recent rework of Door Breaking, you could find yourself trapped indefinitely. I still want you to be wary about Teleport Traps, they should at least have the potential to get you in an unfortunate situation, but where you might escape if you came with a Key equipped (or an active Binding Ritual to bring you back in the game after killing yourself) ... Now: every Stage has a 'Grief Safeguard'-Counter enabled, determining whether it should regard Locked Doors as a means to escape - Counter starts a 0, meaning, Locked Doors are to be excluded from findTarget-Algorithm. After every use (Player only), Counter for respective Stage increases by +1, then before next use of a Teleport Trap, game rolls a Percentage Check and if result <= local Counter, 'Grief Safeguard' will be switched off for the moment. So effectively first Use of a Teleport Trap in every Region is always kinda safe (NOT gonna regard Enemies in your way, lol), but gets riskier the more you do it.


POLISH AND QUALITY OF LIFE-IMPROVEMENTS

  • New, juicier Victory Sound for the 'Align the Stars'-Minigame.
  • A Message Log now records most recent 25 PopUps; may be called and cycled through via [BACKSPACE]-Key. Press any other Key to dismiss.
  • After igniting a Fire, 'Rest'-Menu will now be auto-prompted only once for the first time. Afterwards needs a second Bump.
