Rolling out a change to the save data location/system to avoid surprises on launch day for v1.0

- Disabled Steam AUTO-Cloud. Steam Cloud is now implemented in-game.
This is to avoid synchronization issues that were showing the wrong save file the first time the latest version was booted up. The Save Data path has now been finalised and it's in the default Steam userdata folder.
When booting up the game in the new version for the first time, you'll see a line of text letting you know that the save data is being migrated.
The old backup systems are still in place in case anything goes wrong.

- Little QOL: 5 items treasure chests become skippable if you've played the game too much ❤

"What if we do Side B, but for sound effects?"
And so the accurately named Blast Processing option was implemented.

There's no need to unlock it, from the get go you'll be able to toggle the option to get access to a few different sounds and jingles when playing the game! I won't spoil all of them, here's a few examples:

We're also publishing on YT the Side B theme for The Bone Zone for a perfect little Halloween package:

Day 8: new relic Gracia's Mirror

I've become besotted with Vampire Survivors since I bought it to play on my Steam Deck, but I'm now convinced developer Poncle wants to kill me. It's leaving early access next week, on October 20, and the launch version will include the previously announced Endless mode and the just unveiled Inverse mode. It's the latter that will surely spell my death...

[SPOILERS]


You've heard of the "Side B" music tracks, you've seen weird upside-down images and lines of text in the YT videos, and VS is lacking a proper reference to one of the pᴉმმԍƨϝ ƨԍcʁԍϝƨ ever to appear in a videogame, so you must have seen this one coming, right?
The new relic Gracia's Mirror will allow you to play Inverse Mode, where the stages are upside down!

It's not only a visual novelty though, as it also boosts Gold gains and Enemy Health by 200%
On top of that, enemies also grow stronger over time, making this a proper hard mode. This makes a place like the Inverted Bone Zone an absolute nightmare 💀

To make up for the huge spike in difficulty, the merchant will have an expanded inventory and will be happy to sell you additional Skips, Banishes, Rerolls, and an extra ARCANA. Buying it will increase the maximum amount of Arcanas you can carry by one.




Since the merchant respawns at every cycle if you're playing Endless, mixing it with Inverse means that you can get an extra arcana per cycle, with no limits! (Well, 22 is the limit...)



If you find the stage inversion weary on the eyes, but want to keep the gameplay changes, there's an option to disable the visual inversion.
