Thank you for your patience over the last two weeks. I’m ready to pick things back up and get to work. Proof of such is below: today’s new build!

New Town Layouts

• Towns now have randomized layouts and additional shops. A few new variant shop layouts were added, and in general most shops should be physically smaller and easier to navigate.
• The Inn has returned! While not fully functional yet, you can now get a night of rest at an Inn and be granted an XP bonus that should last until your next dungeon or so. Probably too long!

Spiral Dungeon Floors

• Rarely, and in more difficult dungeons, you may encounter a floor that is a concentric maze, with twisting narrow hallways, multiple side doors, and a great deal of treasure.
• The floors are large, perhaps too large. If you encounter one please send in feedback after (if?) you make it to the center stairwell.
• In future builds, there will likely be an Ancient King stationed at the center.

Two New Hero Sprites

Introducing Cham and The Duelist, two new Lady Dungeonmens ready to dive into adventure and get slaughtered like everyone else.

Engine Work: Item Save Data

I’m testing out a new method of loading and saving item data that should allow for any item version to be loaded, even ones from saves before Early Access started! If this proves effective I’ll be using this same concept

Engine Work: Post-Game Dungeon

There is nothing player-accessible yet, but more work has been done on creating  a post game experience that will scale far past the level cap and provide super crunchy monster crushing for the dedicated dungeon delver.

Museum Update

The Museum has entered the next phase of development!

• Museum Layout changed to display all possible monster categories.
• All Monster Knowledge may be collected, though not every monster will have an assigned MK category yet.
• Museum Curator will now display all current MK levels when asked.
• Rewards for gathering all MK have not yet been implemented.

Large Shields

The second power in the Shieldcraft mastery line has been redesigned. Now called Shield Mastery, the passive grants a number of bonuses:

• Large Shields may be equipped. Large Shields have increased block rates and come with additional armor, but reduce your maximum stamina by 20%.
• Makes Shield Rush hit harder.
• High Guard counter now has intelligent 1-tile knockback.
• Polearms may be equipped with Shields.
• Gain the Bulwark passive, where every round spent in the same tile adds a 3% bonus to your block score.

Cone powers

Break the Line and Bees Please have been modified so that the first line of targeted tiles is three wide instead of one. The length of the cones remains the same, but they have been widened.

Combat Log Font Size

You can change it in the options now.

Overworld Encounters

• Random encounters now drop appropriate loot for their difficulty. Better stuff in the deeper wilds!
• The monster displayed in random encounter dialogs is now picked from the actual encounter table, rather than a static list.

Unfinished Work

• Mercenary Contracts are not available as loot drops yet.
• Roadblocks still don’t scale correctly. Almost there!

Misc

• Fixed some sounds for orc behemoth
• Removed orc behemoth slow
• Fixed breakables not taking one turn
• Objects with a self-decay timer now display a countdown as they approach removal.
• Enemy buffs should no longer affect inanimate objects
