4.0 "Marjoram Crumpets" 20 dec 2023

  • Happy [winter holiday] everyone! what better gift to give than balance changes?
  • damage up balance change| dmg +4 -> dmg +5
    • this spell wasn't ever terribly good since you could always use another projectile. now it's on-par damage-wise.
  • Random Projectile Aspect balance change| dmg +3 -> dmg +5
    • the initial intent was to make the damage lower to compensate for the variety of types. this failed.
  • nerfed multiplicative stat increases, replaced partially with additive.
    • spells will still have some multiplicative stats, just to a lesser degree.
      this is to combat the sheer power of just stacking a single spell, which is boring.
      • faster balance change| spd x2 -> spd x1.5, spd +50
      • damage up balance change| dmg +4 -> dmg +5
      • focus fire balance change| dmg x1.25 dmg +5 spd x2 -> dmg x1.15 dmg +10 spd x1.5 spd +50
  • Apart from balance, here comes new content!
    • New spell! Random Position!
      • randomizes a projectile's position upon spawning
      • yeah, it's less than useless, but it is pretty funny.
    • New spell! Growing Threat!
      • Increases a projectile's damage radius over time
    • New spell! OVERKILL!
      • transfers extra damage upon death to other monsters on the map
      • each time it transfers, the damage pool is cut in half
    • New maps! trial of sapping
      • 2 maps built around losing mana as the map goes on.
      • these maps are unlocked upon beating the game.
      • they aren't terribly difficult if you know what you're doing. but maybe it'll inspire you to make some cool thing.
  • oh? not satisfied? how about some QoL?
    • custom gem creation will now remember the stats of the last gem you created
      • very welcome feature. makes it less tedious to make gems.
    • you can now replicate gems!
      • this will copy a gem's spells and stats.
      • do so by dropping a gem onto the create gem button (assuming you have enough mana)
  • updated localization files.
  • update feito nos arquivos da localização.
