Summary Players can now restart the game from a True Ending into New Game+, or fine tune their challenge with a Custom Game! [/p][p]This patch is a "Frontline Patch"! It's intended for players who want to help out with testing, or if you're having a specific issue that is solved in this patch! [/p][p]The default/Stable branch on Steam, as well as the Humble/GOG branches, will be updated after this has been in testing for 1-2 weeks![/p][p][/p][p]Important note: While old save files are of course compatible with this new version, the new version's save files can't be loaded in an older version of the game. So if you switch to Frontline, it's advised that you wait until the Stable (default) branch has been updated before switching back![/p][p] [/p][h3]About the patch[/h3][p]New Game+
New Game+ will let players who have beaten the game's True Ending restart the game!
You transition into NG+ from inside the game world, specifically by talking to Aevum, a new NPC which will appear if you first travel to Evergrind City, and then back to the main character's room in Startington.
In NG+, you'll keep your items, cards and levels, but replay through the game with several gameplay twists. Enemies will be shuffled around, you will have pins, many enemies will have their own pins, you can collect more than one card per enemy - and some other changes! There will also be the possibility of fighting a boss hitherto exclusive to Arcade Mode.
Custom Game
When unlocking NG+, you also unlock "Custom Game", which is similar to NG+ but instead of transcending with an existing character, you'll start a new one with custom settings! Here you can go really wild, limiting your max level, increasing enemy damage, make healing twice as strong (or to deal damage to you), and other useful, not-so-useful or plain weird settings![/p][p]
An especially notable setting in Custom Game is Permadeath, which as the name implies will wipe your save file if you die![/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Notes[/h2][h3]Version 1.10e (July 2, Bugfix patch) [/h3][p]Changes[/p]
