Steam: 1.1.3
PATCH NOTES [1.1.3]
Wes Davoun has been rebalanced:
"Urgent Call" skill has been reconsidered. The skill now makes a hero appear in the next opened room. The cooldown has been lowered. It can only rarely make an artefact appear. Spawned heroes can’t be recruited in both Armory and Refreezerator pods.
"Radio Tower" is divided into 3 skill levels, accessible at levels 4/9/15. This makes Wes’ progression more interesting and dynamic. Also, the skill is more powerful than before when Wes reaches level 15.
Because he’s an interesting early game operator, to make him more fair compared to other operators:
-1 general Wit.
"Knowledge Is Good" is unlocked a bit later.
The Zoner can now hit the crystal, a part of his zone damages are converted into direct damages.
The Silic Supporter, Silic Bulldozer and Elite Flying Necrophage monsters don’t hit the player’s modules anymore. However, Kamikazes monsters and Chimera Keepers can still damage it.
The Silic Supporter now buffs the player’s team when tamed.
The tamed Chimera Keeper normally doesn’t need a hero to be in the same room he’s in to be active anymore.
The Death Merchant can’t spawn in the very first rooms of each floor anymore.
"Paramedic" (Deena, Opbot, Kaspar) heal skill is now a lot more efficient.
Deena unlocks level 2 "Paramedic" earlier during her progression.
"Sandvitch" (Misha) heal skill is now more efficient.
Biomass Factory module isn't available in the Armory Pod anymore.
Biomass Modules, "Recycling" and "Soylent Green" passive skills don’t generate resources during crystal waves anymore.
"Recycling" and "Soylent Green" now produce more resources.
Minor modules attack general rebalancing: AoE modules are lowered, single target modules are increased. The new computation rationale is more realistic in the way we take more into account the number of monsters that compose waves. AoE are still the best choice to kill waves, they just need bigger waves to be as profitable as before.
Prisoner Prod is slightly more powerful.
KIP cannon requires less Science to reach its attack power limit, but the limit is unchanged.
Tesla module is more powerful.
Machine Gun does more damages but heats up a little more faster.
Claymore & Seblaster are less powerful.
Fixed an issue with the Xbox One controller on Windows 10.
Fixed an issue with the "Researcher" achievement which wasn't unlocking properly for players who didn't own the Rescue Team content pack.
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.1.0
Hey,
Organic Matters (free) and Rescue Team (€1,99), detailed below, are now available!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/407210
http://store.steampowered.com/app/407200
RESCUE TEAM
The prison hulk “Success” has mysteriously crashed. Uncharted part of the galaxy? Unknown planet? When everything goes awry, who you gonna call? The Rescue Team!
Meet Sasha, Zugma and Wes, the funky heroes assigned to the "Success" mission. Failure is obviously not an option.
This new exciting content pack available for €1,99 on Steam.
RELEASE NOTES [1.1.0]
[ADDITIONS] Rescue Team
Added 3 new Heroes, with a really refreshing gameplay:
Wes Davoun, the radio operator:
He's a very good operator and one of the best support characters of the game. Thanks to his radio skills he can buff all heroes on the floor.
Special Transmission (passive skill): operating a resource module raised to an art form. Depending on which resource module you are operating, it will provide a different buff to all heroes on the floor:
When operating a Food module, provides health regeneration to all heroes on the floor.
When operating an Industry module, provides attack power to all heroes on the floor.
When operating a Science module, provides attack power to all minor modules on the floor.
Good Morning Auriga (active skill): movement speed buff for all heroes on the floor. When the whole team has to rock and roll!
Urgent Call (active skill): make an urgent phone call to change what will happen in the next room you’ll open, and force a positive event to happen. When you want anything but trouble behind the next door.
Zugma Walker, the bulldozer operator:
Zugma, driving her bulldozer, is the first übermassivetanky operator!
Recycling Beast (active skill): transform every monster killed into a random resource (except Dust). Not everybody can turn roadkill into resources!
Steamroller (passive skill): reduces the movement speed penalty when carrying the Crystal. Zugma Walker is a very slow character but when she's carrying the Crystal she becomes one of the fastest characters in the game.
Secret Compartment (passive skill): she can keep a part of the Dust from a floor to another. That little place where cops and customs officers never look.
Sasha Chokyo, the trainer:
With Sasha you gotta grab’em all! Indeed, you can train any monsters of the game! When you’ve got a monster as a pet, it can deal damage to other monsters. Moreover, it can even level up by killing other monsters! Take care of your pet by feeding them Food.
Heel! (active skill): tames the most powerful monster in the room. An order even monsters will obey.
Table Scraps (passive skill): share a part of your Food when healing Sasha with the tamed monster. One way to keep your pet healthy.
Attack Dawg (passive skill): share a part of the hero’s attack power with the trained monster. Your pet is every bit as vicious as you are.
Added 2 new Hurnas monsters, from the Endless Legend’s universe:
The Hunter: always stalking the weakest hero of your group, it’s an archer that attacks slowly but deals heavy damages. Take care of your operators!
The Warden: a crazy spinning zone damage dealer. Don’t keep all your heroes in one place, or lower your head to dodge his club!
Added 1 new Major Module, the Field Medic:
It reduces healing costs on the floor,
It increases heroes and NPC’s defence on the floor.
Added 4 new items:
Heavy Engine: provides attack power, reduces movement speed and grants the Steamroller passive skill.
Secret Pocket: provides defence and gives the Secret Compartment passive skill.
Rescue Kit: provides attack power, wit and health regeneration.
Training Kit: provides attack power, and gives the ability to operate.
[ADDITIONS] All versions – G2G content
Added a new spaceship, the Organic Pod: [G2G]
This pod is an intellectual living creature, so take care of her like a member of your crew. Remember, she likes red wine, boiled shrimp with sauce, classical music and pictures of kittens.
Gameplay effects:
Creatures are faster.
Modules can’t be repaired.
Powered rooms:
Can’t be unpowered,
Deal damage to modules and artefacts at every turn,
Reduce monsters’ defence by 100%,
Provide +0.5 Food per turn.
Added a new Hero, Rosetta QV1819: [G2G]
Egocentric passive gameplay: attack power and defence bonus per mob in the room, so bring it!
Tower of Babble (active skill): within a limited period of time, all monsters with less than 25% health points explode instantly dealing zone damages to all the surrounding monsters. An uninterrupted flow of multi-syllabic words would confuse even the most enraged enemy.
Added 3 new monsters, the Vultus: these 3 new monsters are quite insignificant damages dealers, but they are nasty gameplay breakers!
Trash: they spread into the dungeon and slow minor modules’ attack speed.
Debuffer: slows a hero’s attack and movement speed.
Vultu: it has a chance to spawn in a random unpowered room at the beginning of a turn. Kill it before it vanishes at the end of the timer and you’ll be rewarded with a Dust loot. So hurry up! [G2G]
Added 2 new minor modules:
Biomass Factory: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Industry.
Biomass Cannery: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Food.
Added 8 new items from the Endless Legend universe:
Executive's Armband: % odds to trouble the targeted monster.
Cheater's Armband: % odds to poison the targeted monster.
Antigrav Trinket: boosts the movement speed but lowers defence, useful for Crystal carrying.
Self-Help Buds: boosts wit, defence and attack power.
Shanty Singer: boosts defence of all heroes in the room.
Brainwave Bracers: boosts health regeneration depending on number of mobs in the room.
Fred's Fixer: adds wit, boosts repair speed.
Drug-o-matic: boosts health regeneration and defence.
Added controller support
Added a new ending sequence
FIXES
Fixed several desynchronisation issues: the multiplayer mode should now be more stable
Fixed a bug that occurred upon finding a new item: the inventory now properly opens if you click on the notification
Fixed an issue with the visual effects on monsters or heroes, which are now hidden when the room is affected by the EMP event
The Keeper can now attack unrecruited heroes
The game is now paused when opening the Album by clicking on a notification
Fixed the tactical map main background animation
Fixed an issue with the item “Time of Sands” which was duplicated in some situations after loading a multiplayer save

Player names are now visible during a multiplayer game
All impact VFXs are now displayed both on the client and server side during a multiplayer game

The option menu can now be closed using the Escape key

Steam: 1.0.88
Hi all,
The Paris Games Week is taking a lot of our time at the moment (if you're in Paris, come say hi to us at the Jeux Made in France booth in Hall 2.1), but we've been working on some pretty cool things for you. :) Indeed, an exciting Dungeon of the Endless update is now available!
You can download it for free here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/410940/
DEATH GAMBLE UPDATE
This Death Gamble update adds:
A new merchant will appear in the dungeon: the Death merchant, also known as The Dood. It will offer players a very special deal during the week of Halloween, and will appear less often the rest of the time. Unknown items will be available for fixed price as well!
A new item will be available thanks to the Death merchant: Time of Sands. It can resuscitate the player who is carrying it, which could be quite useful! Also note that the longer your character carries that item, the more HP they are likely to spawn with.
RELEASE NOTES [1.0.88]
Added a new event, The Dood, a very special merchant with a very special item…
Optimised AI’s mobs that will slightly improved performance
Fixed the Rocket Scientist achievement
In multiplayer mode, heroes can no longer be transferred during the action phase
Added a visual feedback on skills if you click on them when the cooldown is active
The last picture of the album is now unlocked after the last level of the game
Pat can now hit several monsters at his highest level
MORE TO COME...
Just so you know, we have been working on a very cool free update that is due next month! It will include the content that you have created and vote for through the GAMES2GETHER: a new organic spaceship, the Vultu mob, the Rosetta hero, and gamepad support amongst other things!
We'll keep you posted.
Enjoy,
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.0.71
[1.0.71] Patch Notes
Fixed the Heavy level up animation; previously using the Pyro’s animation instead of his!
Fixed the elevator background that wasn’t moving since the [1.0.69] version
Fixed a bug on the album: it was impossible to unlock the picture related to the TF2 heroes story
The Australium update is now considerer as a DLC and can therefore be disabled
Thank you for all your reports.
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.0.70
Hey everyone,
If you watched the stream this afternoon, you probably know what's coming to Dungeon of the Endless: the Australium update! It is free and will available today on Steam to everyone who owns Dungeon of the Endless.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/365940/
This Australium update for DotE is one of the rewards that you've unlocked during the recent Steam Free Weekend: it includes 4 new heroes and 5 new items from Team Fortress 2, Valve's famous cooperative game gone free to play.
Note that you can grab Dungeon of the Endless on Steam at 33% off!
RELEASE NOTES
"Taking a break after a particularly brutal gravel war, these four mercenaries are prospecting for the rare element Australium in the hopes of using their battle-honed skills to actually make some money. It is rumoured that there are extensive lodes of Australium across Auriga so they are exploring and tunnelling, trying to find this precious resource."
Added 4 new heroes
Pat Bates (Pyro): nobody knows where this thing came from, what it thinks, or why it does what it does. Eager researchers who interview Bates tend to either quickly change their area of study -- or go mad themselves.
Kaspar Herab (Medic): Kaspar did, at some point, receive some form of medical training. The duration, sobriety, and quality of that training -- and whether or not it pertained to human beings -- is highly questionable. Herab's eagerness to demonstrate it, however, is not.
Dell Bradford (Engineer): Dell is a misplaced transdimensional copy of a non-existent being from a pseudo-reality. Fortunately, he is also a skilled engineer with at least eleven hard science PhDs so minor questions concerning the nature of reality don't bother him much.
Misha Cherny (Heavy): Misha comes from a very cold gulag in a very cold place; much of his reputation stems from the fact that though he and his sisters escaped, none of the guards did. This experience has not affected the warmth of his personality, though it should be noted that the degree of warmth is directly proportional to the number of dead enemies.
Added 5 new items with passive skills (Sandvish, Gas Mask, Dove, jPad, Tower of Hats)
Tower of Hats: tarnish it notte, presumptuous one.
Gas Mask: a highly effective defence against anything from flatulation to the most toxic nerve gas. The only drawback is that the mask’s active ingredient causes idyllic, pastoral hallucinations.
Dove: the only flying animal not yet eaten by the dungeon inhabitants, Archimedes stays safely in the pocket of whoever is carrying it.
jPad: one letter better than its famous predecessor, this hand-held marvel contains optimised solutions for the materials, project plans, and techniques of module construction.
Sandvich: not considered edible by most sentient beings, this snack requires teeth capable of chewing gravel. On the plus side, it tastes like vodka.
Improved memory use
Fixed an issue where the operator lost his bonus during an attack in multiplayer
Fixed an issue where the floor could not be finished
WARNING: in Singleplayer mode, you might have to restart at the beginning of your floor. In Multiplayer mode, you might have to restart the whole run/pod. If you want to finish your game in MP, we suggest you use a previous version of the game. To access that version, you will have to select in the Steam properties of Dungeon of the Endless, the 'Betas' tab, then select the [1.0.63] version.
Now go and have fun! :)
Sincerely,
~Amplitude
Steam: 1.0.63
Hotfix [1.0.63]
Fixed an issue with the pathfinding. Heroes and monsters should no longer get stuck in rooms
Fixed an issue with the dungeon generation. The game should no longer crash and remove the save during the creation of a new floor
Thanks for your patience. We’ll keep an eye on forums to see if that fixes the issues encountered by many of you.
Steam: 1.0.60
Hotfix [1.0.60]
Fixed an issue with several rooms where the player could not move
~Amplitude
Steam: 1.0.59
Hotfix [1.0.59]
Implemented a VSync in the option menu
Re-uploaded the soundtrack in the game folder (Steam > Steamapps > Common > Dungeon of the Endless > Soundtrack)
Fixed an issue with a specific room in the Jungle environment where the player could not move
Fixed issues with player usernames containing "{" or "}" characters, which resulted in a crash
Warning about the "DEEP FREEZE" DLC
Due to an issue with the Steam store, if you happen to own the Emperor (or Founder, as it was called during its Early Access phase) pack of Endless Legend, make sure you don't already have the DLC before making a purchase.
The Deep Freeze DLC is represented by a little shiny ice cream cone at the bottom left corner of the screen, in the main menu. it won't be as sparkly if you don't own the DLC (yes, we'll work on improving that feedback!).
Thank you,
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.0.43
BUG FIXES
Fixed corrupted GUI when a hero dies in your team
Fixed an issue with the Armory and Sanitary Pod locked again for players
/// If you used the "-openGL" command on Steam (launch options) because you used to experience crashes/display issues, please remove it as the problem should now be resolved for specific configurations (but you might have to keep it if your issue isn't fixed when you remove it!).
~Amplitude
Steam: 1.0.40
On this day, Endless technology lights up and strange things appear in the ruins all across Auriga, and even throughout the galaxy as the Archivist, Esseb Tarosh, fulfils its duty.
RELEASE NOTES [1.0.40]
Improvements
Improved the multiplayer mode stability: optimisation of bandwidth usage to reduce impact of bad connections (high packet loss rate) on game sync and avoid disconnections
Optimised lighting system and memory usage: the game should perform better and experience less crashes
Improved auto-save feature: it is now functional if a crash occurs during the elevator phase
Improved our save system: players with save issues should be able to save their games in this version
Added a backup system between game versions: if there is an incompatibility between your save and a new version, your save will not be lost and you’ll just have to restart your current level
Added resolution mode options: pixel perfect, border (not stretched) and no border (stretched) modes
Improved tactical map transition
Added sound effects for the Pug hero, Ayairi Whairydd
Bug Fixes
Fixed some multiplayer issues (locking players in the lobby when the host is having connection problems and variable synchronisations amongst other things)
Fixed issues with our lighting system and DX11 compatibility
Fixed achievements that were wrongly unlocked after a save
Fixed keyboard shortcut issues on Mac (Note: there is a known issue in Unity (our game engine) with special characters on the numeric keys, which prevent some foreign users to use them to select heroes for example)
Fixed Autodoc Shards tooltip values
We changed some critical assets in this version and old saves will not be compatible with this version. The new backup system will restart your current level.
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.0.25
Bug Fixes

Known Issues
We are still working on the multiplayer and the stability of the game.
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 1.0.23
Hey there,
Here it is at last: the First Aid Kit update. We apologise for the slight delay, but we're hoping you'll enjoy this update for Dungeon of the Endless. The recent changes should improve your overall experience with new resolution options, key binding, small multiplayer improvements (chat in the game over/victory screens, regional filter, cross platform sessions), a first version of an auto-save feature, some balancing, bug fixes and so on.
This update also fixes the issues with the Endless Legend Emperor pack, with the Refreezerator pod and the Kreyang hero.

Added three G2G achievements (also renamed the achievement "Unbeatable Duo" to "Members Only")
Enabled cross platform multiplayer (Windows & Mac OS). Lobbies hosted by a player with a different public folder & files (modded version, or different OS) will be shown in gold.
Added regional filters in the lobby
Added chat in game over and victory panels
Added module build cost in the research panel

Fixed the album resolution in 4:3 (now stretched though)
Fixed some issues with singleplayer game save: you can now retrieve it after playing a multiplayer game
Please note several known issues are still being worked on, and those include:
The multiplayer issues require a lot of testing
The auto-save feature: it's a first version for now and we plan on improving it, but it should prevent save losses in most cases. Piece of advice: remember to save and from time to time restart the game on Steam if you often get crashes. We're still working on the performance as well.
Lobbies listed in "gold": in case you want to report an issue, don't forget to mention if you were in this case (modified public folder or cross platform multiplayer)
Have a nice weekend,
~Amplitude Studios

Steam: 0.6.10
[0.6.10] Hotfix
The bug in [0.6.7] was fixed in [0.6.9]; however, another issue was found in this version, with the same consequence (wave not ending) but a different cause.
Fixed a bug that prevented the wave from ending: it occurred when a Cryo Capsule was activated, coupled with the spawn of a new hero event.
~Amplitude Studios
Steam: 0.6.9
Hi everyone,
We would like to express our apologies for the 0.6.7 update we have released on Steam last night. Indeed, a game breaking bug that occurred for all of you made us take the decision to roll back the update: at the moment, you should all be playing with the 0.5.2 version. This is actually the first time this is happening to us and we will do our best to make sure this does not happen again
Unfortunately, this means that those of you who have downloaded the 0.6.7 update and then went back to the 0.5.2 update have had the player profiles and heroes unlocked reset. We have warned you in the past that this was expected at some point, because we are constantly adding/improving some features, but we know it can still be somewhat frustrating. But please note that the reset was going to happen eventually, as we have reworked on the requirements that you need to fulfil to unlock the heroes.
We have fixed the problem that was reported by our players and submitted a new version to our QA team, and it looks like it’s been resolved (yay!), so we should go back to what we had planned for you: “Bite The Dust” update [0.6.9]. We took the liberty of unlocking temporarily some heroes for you (7 instead of 3): this way, you will be able to play the new version (almost) like you would have, and we are hoping you will forgive us for the inconvenience we may have caused. And in the future, don’t get attached to your heroes too much, this situation may occur at least once, before the release, in order to start things fresh!
We are looking forward to your feedback and are hoping you will enjoy the update.
Sincerely,
Amplitude Studios

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/OM1gFux.jpg" width="630"> Hi everyone, We've missed you. :) We recently got back from the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco where we got to show Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Legend to our fellow developers and the press. It was really nice to hear from people in the industry and who we admire that they enjoyed Endless Space or DotE and that they're looking forward to playing EL. I'll try to write a blog post about our adventure there. Anyway, as we mentioned last week, the frequency of public updates on Steam for Dungeon of the Endless has been reduced. Indeed, the lead programmer on the project, our beloved GFX47, had to temporary leave his position for personal reasons. Besides, we have also announced the oh so exciting multiplayer co-op mode that we have started working on. Here's a link if you're interested but once again, we would like to remind you that this MP mode should only be a first version of what we are planning to achieve and this may take a little while and feedback from you before we can obtain something satisfying and fun for everyone. We have an update going live on Steam very shortly and a fun new trailer as a bonus! You'll be able to experiment a first taste of persistence element in Dungeon of the Endless: progression, discovery, unlocks, all that! How will it work? well, you'll need to select two heroes, or pick the random option for one or both heroes. The choices available to you are: Max, Sara and Opbot. Of course, are you encounter new heroes, you will be able to finally unlock them. However, it won't be that easy... Indeed, you will need to keep them alive during at least three levels or until the end of the game. Now that should be fun! We also need to warn you about important consequences: Your game save once again will not be compatible with the new version. Please make sure you start a new game! The offline persistency is subject to change during the Steam Early Access period. You may lose your progression (hero unlocks, game stats) several times during development and up until the release of the game. <object width="853" height="480"><param name="movie" value="/www.youtube.com/v/K2aQYDmsocQ?version=3&hl=fr_FR"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="/www.youtube.com/v/K2aQYDmsocQ?version=3&hl=fr_FR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="630" height="480" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> RELEASE NOTES [0.4.4] Changes and Additions Added the first foundation stone of the persistence: Unlock heroes in the dungeon Select your starting heroes or keep the random option (panel still WIP) Added 3 community items: Litsaber by T41 [G2G] The Kings' Armour by bendingbones [G2G] Nano-Bros by suspense0522 [G2G] Added 2 new tracks Added some SFX Fixed some tooltip descriptions Implemented Cyrillic characters in the game fonts Balancing Increased power of Hikensha and Sara Reduced level up food cost of Hikensha Increased life and/or defence of mobs: Hydra, Golem, Mini Golem Updated the targeting system by prioritising Golem Tweaked some items power and cost Increased power of skills: Neurostun Lite, Placebo, first Aid Increased power of Autodoc Shards module Bug Fix Fixed a bug where a hero and a monster can be blocked chasing each other if they have the same speed Fixed a bug where the Cryo Capsule and the Dust Factory keep re-spawning after the save/load Fixed a bug with the upgraded modules health bar height Fixed a bug related to the lights on major modules

Indeed, we have organised a playtest session of Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless, and we've decided to invite some of you over.

The player has to stock resources in the previous levels to win the game; the initial Industry & Food production bonus is set to 3 Added the Laboratory environment at level 3, 4 & 5 Added a new layout for the starting rooms above level 1 Improved the level design with more branches around the Crystal at level 4 & 5 Improved the exit spawn: now generated at the beginning of the level so it doesn’t spawn next to the first room Added 2 new mobs: Hydra and zombie Chimera (special behaviours to be added on the Hydra) Added 1 new hero: Golgy, the spider-woman, with 3 exclusive new skills and a particularity: she doesn’t have weapons but 2 device slots Added 8 new objects, some with passive skills, like repairing (repairing skill has been added to already existing items). The tooltip of these items with skills is WIP Fixed some passive skills effects (e.g. Iron Fist and Placebo) Improved performance, especially on the GUI Improved the hero GUI panel (better feedback on hit, still WIP) BALANCING Some mobs now spawn on specific levels Reduced the difficulty at level 1 (no more Crystal Eaters or Golems): we want to keep this level less difficult to let the player grasp the game Slightly reduced difficulty at level 4 (in prevision of level 5): Reduced waves number Slightly increased hero and merchant spawns, Dust and major slots Slightly increased mobs Dust loot Slightly increased the power of mobs but reduced their number Improved War Mask skill (Hikensha): the attack power bonus is applied even in the powered rooms Increased Dust at start to 24 (previously set to 20) Your previous game save will not be compatible so please start a new game.

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/oJffl0K.jpg" width="630"> Hey, We have great news to share: an update for Dungeon of the Endless (yay, we're as excited as you) and a new GAMES2GETHER vote. RELEASE NOTES [0.1.14] Hero active & passive skills Each hero gets up to 2 active and 2 passive skills (+ repairing and operating skills) when s/he levels up (predefined for each). As they level up, new skills will be available. You can trigger an active skill with the icons below the hero portraits or use ‘E’, ‘R’, ‘T’ keys The number displayed on the icon is the number of doors you have to open before using it again More information about skills principle and objectives here: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/content.php?374 This is a first version of the skill system: effects need to be tweaked. We started with relatively “simple” skills (stats modifiers) but are planning on adding more complex ones. Changes on game variables & difficulty Added a global variable that dynamically measures the difficulty of a level and modifies the events to balance it and slightly reduces inequalities between games Capped hero’s max level to 6 and modified the skills distribution Slightly increased the recruitment cost Slightly decreased Opbot’s wit and wit items effect Added a 4th level in the dungeon Increased power of mobs to slightly reduce their number Reduced Dust loot and number of module slots in the 3rd and 4th levels Slightly increased mobs speed Reduced the delay of the first waves during the Crystal phase Removed module targeting mobs during the Crystal phase waves in the last levels Tweaked item loot table Slightly improved level design diversity Improved GUI & Controls Added shortcuts: inventory = I, hero panel = U, close last opened panel = ESC Improved heroes HUD (WIP) Added right click on the hero portrait: opens hero panel Added display of the DPS value in the hero stats panel Prevented manual heal during auto heal phase Added a “select all” shortcut on the key placed before the numbers in the top left corner, first step for multi-selection Added a progress loading screen Added tooltips Added targeting priority to the Crystal focusing mob Improved performance & fixed bugs Fixed operating module bonus related on equipped items Fixed some UI bugs Improved dungeon generator on low end computers Improved performance in the last levels GAME2GETHER VOTE You’ll find the new GAMES2GETHER vote here: choose your new hero! <img src="http://i.imgur.com/NAOEAbB.jpg" width="200"> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/6oOqLvW.jpg" width="200"> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/lpVe1ih.jpg" width="200">
Steam: 0.1.3
[0.1.3] Release Notes
Minimised the Crystal removal exploit by:
Increasing the difficulty and reducing the delay between waves after each wave, without resetting them if the Crystal is plugged. This means that you can do that but you complicate the exit
Reducing by 4 the Dust loot during the Crystal phase
Reduced efficiency of the winning strategy: “build a maximum of resource production modules” by increasing the cost of major modules proportionally to the current number of major modules in the level
Slightly increased the difficulty of end level and level 3
Slightly increased the cost of some minor modules
Slightly increased the attack power of bomber module
Fixed projectiles trajectory in case of low frame-rate
IMPORTANT: if you seem to have an issue after the update, please, verify your game files: right click on the game in your Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache.
