• Added a first pausing tutorial, that ask you which tutorial mode would you prefer :
  - Simple notification that a new tutorial is available in encyclopedia
  - Message at the bottom of your screen like it was until now
  - Tutorial prompt would pause the game until you press the "continue" button
  This can be changed in option at any time.

• Added tool-tip to back-up loading buttons

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Void elemental no longer cast laser attack from more than 15m away
  
• Blood transmutation now greatly reduced Final Health
  The reason behind it is that Health transmutation has too much beneficial point without having significant drawback, especially as it is a very strong way to scale damage.
  This change should bring a much greater drawback to this, without reducing the damage it add to the player
  The curve start linearly at low value, and become more and more logarithmic at higher value
  Higher level card make the reduction much softer
  This only affect health from base max health multiplied by max health multiplier, so any other source of final health is not affected by blood transmutation
  (Exact formula is HP^(1/(1+log(HP)/log(9+Level)/(9+Level)))
  
  
• Defense transmutation now reduce Final Defense
  Final Defense loss is now at 98%
  This lead to defense transmutation giving as much power as before, but also reduce defense in a more aggressive way
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

  There has been a major feedback about mid/late run difficulty being too simple, especially starting on C-rank, this aim to make the game slighly more challenging

[h2]Hello.[/h2]

Last week I have been contacted by Makeship to create a plushie themed on Rogue: Genesia.
While I initially was sceptical (I received a mountain of obvious spam in my mail about X or Y since the 1.0 release), after a bit of research, I've found out that they are legit, and that they even made some plushies for a very well-known boomer shooter that starts with ultra, and ends with kill.
[h3]They proposed to make a plushie for Rogue: Genesia.[/h3]

Their process is quite interesting and totally adapted to an indie/solo dev like me.
They first create a pledging campaign, where people can pledge $30 + tax/shipping (only $2 are deducted at this point) to buy a plush.
If 200 or more people pledge, then the campaign is a success (otherwise, every person who pledged gets reimbursed the $2 they initially had deducted).

Once the campaign is a success, there will be a 90 to 180-day phase with their design where I'll give multiple feedbacks to finalize the design.
After this, the plushies will be available for sale on their website for 21 days.

I quickly realized this could be a super cool way to have a cute plushie of Rog
(I ran a survey on the game Discord to know which character players would prefer as a plushie first, but Rog won by a landslide)



Following that, I couldn't stop myself from making a small concept art of what a plushie of Rog would look like, trying to base myself on their existing plushies.



[h2]The pledging campaign is available at this link if you are interested:[/h2]

A new beta branch has been added, called "Experimental" this will be used to post patch of the game about 12h to 24h before it reach stable branch to avoid additional game breaking patch.





in the close future, a In-game patch note system will be added to make patch note reading for user easier

Here is the patch note for last update
