Early Access build 1.1 Available Now!

Lots of bug fixes, balance changes, big changes for the Necromanser, and some new monster tricks await you! Here are the patch notes. As a reminder,

This build will require you to begin a new Academy!

Crash Fixes

• Dying while bleeding or poisoned.
• Polearms attacking off the edge of the map.

Save Corruption Fixes

• Attempted fix for crashing while writing out map or save data.
• Fix for Academy and World corruption based on switching between save files.

Bug Fixes

• Status effect particles should display on monsters once they enter LOS if they cast the effect while outside of LOS.
• Particles should stick with the player on stair transition.
• Banner effects no longer persist forever on stair transition.
• Inventory no longer shuffles on first sale or purchase.
• Polearm attacks now only extend two tiles, no sneaking in that third tile.
• Wandering Monsters now continue to spawn after loading a save file.
• Dungeons should no longer spawn inside of mountains.
• You can no longer accidentally pass your turn while targeting a ranged attack or special power.
• Proofs of Stremf no longer cap at 255.
• Vault Storage works correctly.

Quick ID

Shift-click (or press shift-enter on) an unidentified item in your inventory to automatically spend a Scroll of Identification on it.

Keybinds

In your save folder (users/[you]/appdata/roaming/Dungeonmans) you’ll find keybinds.txt, with instructions on how to bind keys to do whatever you like. There is no ingame UI for this yet.

Monsters

• Added the Brigand Tricksonometrix, a shifty villainess who uses deception and misdirection to support her criminal allies.
• Reduced the regen value on the Triger’s Roar.

Champions

• From level 4 and up, enemy Champions have an increased health pool.
• Champions will, in nearly all cases, scale up to the level of the player if they are not there already.
• Some monsters now have additional powers they receive if they are promoted to Champions, Bosses, or Ancient Kings. Eventually this will extend to all monsters, but not yet.
• Champions will now only drop one Proof of Stremf regardless of level. Higher level Champions now have an increased chance to drop better loot.

General Perk / Power Balance

 

• Mana now regenerates a fixed percentage per tick, and at a slower rate.
• Mad Thirsty has been adjusted to allow for one extra potion per round. I should probably mention that in the power description.
• Foomsplosion has a faster cast animation and will now hit each tile in a 3×3 area exactly one time. Tiles out of LOS will not be hit.
• Drink the Typhoon fires half as many attacks as before. It will still hit creatures out of LOS, for now.

Bannermans

• Banner of the Tide Turned now only restores resources on attacks, just like the tooltip says.
• All other Banners save Septentrion Cross have had their durations increased to 20 rounds, and in some cases their ranges may have been increased.

 

Necromanser

• Manabones has been changed to give you a one-round shield that reduces damage taken by 50%.
• Deathcharged is a new passive that gives you a 20% bonus to damage on the round following a round where you pick up a Deadpulse.
• Detonate Deadpulse may now cause hilarious chain reactions.
• Freeze Hatred now is limited to one Hateglacier at a time. The Hateglacier now scales with your level and will hit harder as you level up.
• Conjure Gravemooks now creates more skeletons. They will decay after 2d4+20 rounds.

 

Tricksonometry

• Vanish and Hero Cloud have been removed from the tree. They will return in a different format later.
• Big Bamf is a controlled teleport that will Pin and Addle enemies near your original location. This power causes you to become Unstable, and prevents the re-use of that power until the condition passes.
• Gift Exchange swaps all buffs and debuffs on you with those on a different creature.
