[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

• Added visual feedback when attempting to open or flag a frozen cell
  
• Implemented error catching for the stage_power script

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue related to the cursor offset after changing the window size or position in Controller Mode
  
• The Dumb stage mod no longer swaps your mastery if you manage to gain a new one during the stage, e.g. with Jack of Clubs
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when completing status effects outside of a stage
  
• Fixed a rare crash related to the Abstract stage mod

Hi folks,

We just released a new update for DemonCrawl!

v1.90 is a stability patch that introduces a new system for catching errors, which should help with preventing crashes in the face of non-critical problems.

We also added a cool new avatar designed by community member rotten_toto:



Don't forget that you can submit your own artwork in our Discord server - we love seeing what you guys come up with!

Finally, we are working to resolve ongoing issues with DemonCrawl on Android and iOS. Google and Apple have updated their deployment pipelines in recent months, which have made it difficult for us to publish new mobile versions of the game. To our mobile players: we are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope to resolve the situation sooner rather than later.

Full patch notes are below. Mac and Linux builds will follow within 24 hours.

[h2]New Features[/h2]

[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

• Fixed Barrel explosions
  
• Fixed Demolitionist II still applying its old effect
  
• Updated "error while loading profile" message for clarity
  
• Fixed incorrect sprite shown on Boom Bow toast

• Speculative fix for a crash related to centering the camera when the cell object no longer exists
  
• Speculative fix for rare crash related to Canker Harbingers and Divine Doomcall
  

Hi folks,

DemonCrawl turned three years old on November 5th! On its previous two birthdays, we gave away exclusive cake-themed avatars. This time, we're ramping up the festivities a bit.

v1.89 adds a special Birthday stage that can be accessed by finding Cake artifacts in Hard Mode.



Additionally, you can earn 4 avatars and a new inventory skin by opening Presents. This Mini Event will only last a week - it is scheduled to end on November 17th.

Oh, and you will definitely receive a new avatar just for launching DemonCrawl this week, as per tradition.



We're also bringing back our Birthday Bash rewards for Patreon backers. It includes 11 exclusive avatars and 2 festive inventory skins.

Full patch notes are below. Enjoy!
