UPDATE 0.18.2 - Lost Journals + Serpent Beta Branch

Hello Pretenders!

We have some exciting news about this week! Curse of the Dead Gods will be 15% off from 05/25 to 06/01 on Steam! To celebrate, we are releasing some new content and features for the Cursed Temple updates! Everything is detailed in the patch note underneath.

Today is also the launch of our beta branch that will contain a first taste of the upcoming Serpent Temple. Learn more about it under the patch notes 🐍

[h2]Version 0.18.2 – May 25th, 2020[/h2]🍉 = Community additions

[h3]New features[/h3]

• 3 new Curses:
  + Divine Pact
  + Gold Puncture
  + Dark Mysteries

Codex:
+ Full bestiary for the Jaguar Temple
+ Lore and codex entries to be unlocked with special conditions
+ New names for enemies
+ New portraits for the Blood Priest and the Dark Avatar of the Jaguar

[h3]Visual changes[/h3]

• Haven rooms: Changes made to the Haven pool, making it even more gloomy than before. The level of blood in the pool decreases with use.

[h3]Fixed bugs[/h3]

• 🍉 Map/Pause: Fixed a bug where menus would overlap each other if buttons where pressed at the same time
  
• Map: Closing the map with B button (with a controller) won’t trigger the two-handed attack anymore (or other actions if binding had been modified)
  
• 🍉 Life after death: Fixed an issue where players would gain HP after dying if they add a lifesteal weapon or relic.

[h3]Quality of life[/h3]

• 🍉 Contextual action: The contextual action can now overlap other gameplay keys/buttons
  
• Map: Small delay added when opening the map, to avoid involuntary inputs.
  
• Map: Scroll speed has been adjusted (now depends on the exploration’s length)

A few things to know about the beta branch before hopping on it though:

• The beta branch builds will have bugs, you gotta catch’ em all!
  
• Visual effects, level design, animations, 3D models, music, etc. are, of course, not final.
  
• Your save will be different from your main one.
  
• We are eagerly waiting for your feedback on it, and we can’t wait to see your impressions of this first taste of the Serpent Temple!
  
• You can post about your feedback in the dedicated forums on Steam and on our Discord server (#beta-branch)
