Patch Notes (337)
[p]This update is mostly code base changes preparing for more perks coming in the future[/p][p][/p][p]New[/p]
- [p]New mechanic: ‘Damage type’ damage calculations. [/p][p]Confusing I know, this just means that I can now add things into the game that increase/decrease damage based on which damage type is being dealt (Rending/Concussive/Voltaic/Molten). Since attacks can have multiple damage types, I’ve decided to try making damage effects divided by the amount of damage types an attack can do. This means there is a trade off between having as many damage types in your attacks (to trigger as many effects as possible), vs focussing on a specific damage type (to maximize your direct damage output). I will try and describe this better somehow lol. This is one of many things in work for improving/adding to the synergy elements of creating a build[/p]
- [p]New mechanic: Beacon roll requirements. [/p][p]I’ve finally completed the code to enable implementing more synergistic and crazy beacons into the game without diluting the pool too much. I’ve settled on a ‘smart’ beacon roll system that (should) only roll beacons that you are capable of utilizing. This also enables more skill and control in your beacon selection, which I think is a great part of any good roguelite experience. Expect many more complex beacons to come :)[/p]
