Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles News

Hey Oracles,

As I mentioned in this post from November 2023.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1755830/view/5849674468181968436
I (Leo) ended up getting sick and needed to work on Astrea post release updates slower to take care of my health. 🤒
Because of that, many bug reports ended up piling up. 😭
But I'm feeling better (not 100% though) and I decided to tackle a bunch of those bugs. 💪
So this patch is just a bunch of bug fixes! There are still more bugs to be fixed though, but they will be fixed eventually.

Other than that, we are working on the v1.2, our next Major Update and I hope to have more news to share about it soon.
Here is a screenshot with a little spoiler about the v1.2, can you guess what it will be?
🧐🧐🧐🧐



[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
[h3]General[/h3]

• Now when creating a mod there is no need to add "+" to the die name of Balanced, Risky and Epic versions, the game will automatically do that using the "DieTier" field.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed Champion and Mastery achievements not being unlocked after disabling mods if player reached Astrea's Heart and reached Max Level with mods enabled previously.
  
• Fixed Create New Character Die mod not adding ""+"" to the die name internally on Balanced, Risky and Epic versions. This was making the dice appear normally on the compendium, but during the run, the dice with same name, but different tiers, would override each other.

• Fixed Apian Drone drawing die outside of player turn.
  
• Fixed Outbreak VFX remaining on the battle forever if the Doom applied by Outbreak was denied by Protection.

• Fixed Reflexive Mind achievement being unlocked when player moved his orbs during battle if he already had unlocked The World Goes ’Round... achievement.
  
• Fixed Spectral Harvester blinking even when it is not about to trigger.
  
• Fixed Spectral Harvester softlocking when triggered with Shamanic Whispering or Dangerous Excavation with no die on Draw Pool.
  
• Fixed Calm dealing 1 fewer Purification than it was supposed to deal.
  
• Fixed Obscure not hiding Astrea Avatar Overcorruption Meter when she resurrects from her Collapsed Astrea state through Solar Rebirth.
  
• Fixed Blighted Soul not hiding Astrea Avatar Corruption Meter when she resurrects from her Collapsed Astrea state through Solar Rebirth.
  
• Fixed Obscure turning only half of the Overcorruption Meter black.
  
• Fixed Blighted Soul turning only half of the Corruption Meter black.
  
• Fixed Zenith Ring (and any other Blessing) blinking outside of battle.
  
• Fixed Purification preview from dice like New Moon Ray, Bloody Moon Ray++, etc. outside of battle not working correctly.
  
• Fixed derivated dice from Solar Cradle not being shown as discovered on Compendium.
  
• Fixed Hourglass Mastery no triggering when player have no Sands of Time.
  
• Fixed Hourglass Mastery triggering itself when playing it for the first time.
  
• Fixed Inventive counting as two actions and making Anomaly 9 and Crimson Solstice tick twice.

Hey Oracles,

I'm supper happy to announce the official release of Mod Support for Astrea!!
🤩💻🎲😱😎

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We had a mod support open beta period and some modders already created some mods, head to the Steam Workshop to check them out!

An important note is that we created a system for non-programmers to be able to create mods without programming knowledge, using a simple text file (this method uses JSON, a text format).
We called them JSON Mods.
These are the JSON Mods supported right now:

• Create New Character Die
  
• Modify Die
  
• Create Starter Dice Sets
  
• Create Virtues Sets
  
• Create Blessings Sets
  
• Create New Sentinel
  
• Create Sentinels Sets
  
• Modify Sentinel
  
• Mute Dice and Blessings
  

Also for those that want to make deep changes to the game, we already added the BepInEx for creating mods. But we are still trying to make modding as easier as possible for modders. For instance we created a template for creating new actions.
