Hello there!
The first update which contains new content too is released ;) !
Not a huge one, but there are some goodies in there...
Changes
- The content update consists of 5 brand new dungeon templates. I spent some time to carefully balance them too (a little more on this after the change-list). Since the generator tends to select templates used "long ago" or not at all yet during a run you will meet them even if you boot up to game only for one or two short runs ;). I think they turned out really cool and more will follow ;).
- From this build the free chest on the early levels (The Flooded Cave 1-3) will guarantee an item! This was added for balancing reasons and fair play. Especially for making nightmare mode less of an RNGesus. More fine-tuning will follow, already experimenting with some stuff ;).
- Some tiny user interface changes made it into the game. The "Help" menu can be accessed from the "Game Paused" screen for popular demand :). Now the "Game Paused" indicates if you are playing on nightmare or on treasury mode.
- Two items suffered a tiny nerf. I'm sorry about it, no substantial change, but they were a bit to OP.
- A bug was fixed which wrongly started the game on normal mode if you launched it in nightmare/treasury mode from the main menu really really fast shortly after the application started.
Balancing
I'm constantly working on improving the balance of the game, trying to make it more fair. Especially on nightmare, sorry about it, I know it still needs a tiny bit more tweaking :( . Dungeon templates are no exceptions, maps need care too otherwise the game could generate something totally unacceptable. The following is a bit far-fetched, but you get the idea :D :
I wanted to share my feelings too this time:
I loved making this game and I love working on the fine-tuning of it and these updates. I'm really thankful for everyone who buys and plays it and for you being patient and helpful and for anyone who contributes for its future, be it reviews, ideas or feedback. Means a lot.
