Push & Plunder News

[h2]Version: v0.9.1b[/h2]
[h3]General[/h3]

• Challenges have had their prizes changed again. Beta testers saves may break, but hopefully should retroactively award equipment for challenges already completed
  

[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]

• Enemy Waves can now have a Breather period where they pause spawning enemies temporarily
  
• You are now only healed for the base amount of health a perk would add, not the multiplied amount
  

[h3]Audio[/h3]

• The Exp Chime now varies in pitch based on how full the Exp Bar is
  

[h3]UI/UX[/h3]

• Moved the Percentage Complete indicator to the Requirements screen in the Challenge Menu Display Panel to reduce confusion
  
• Challenges Percentage now displays "(Last Run)" when viewing challenges that must be done in one run

• Added Page indicators to the Challenges Menu help players find the challenges they are looking for
  

[h2]Version: v0.9.1[/h2]
[h3]General[/h3]

• Re-wrote the Movement system. It shouldn't be very noticable, but there may be some unintended balance changes due to minor differences in speeds between the classes
  
• Re-wrote the enemy wave generation system to make it easier to create new content for the game. As a result, all previous enemy data was lost. Balance will be different.
  

[h3]New Features[/h3]

• New Table: The Graveyard, Unlock Via Debug Challenges
  
• New Perk: Power Surge: +Ability Power
  
• When Enemies are off the screen, but dangerously close to falling off the bottom, they now get a little spyglass to warn you.
  

[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]

• Enemies are now only immune to damage from the last coins that hit them, instead of all damage entirely. This means you can hit the same bauble with multiple coins from the Rogues Scatter Shot and multishot
  
• Buffed Mage Perk: Magic Might: 10%->15%
  
• Buffed Mage Perk: Arcane Focus: 5%->8%
  
• Enemies no longer die at the end of the timer, and now the final wave continues forever as the boss fight begins
  

[h3]Audio[/h3]

• Added a feedback sound for when the player tries to use their ability with no charges
  

[h3]UI/UX[/h3]

• The average earned coins/gems from the last 8 runs is now displayed next to the "history" button on the main menu
  
• Added the Coins Collected to the UI during a run, and updated how we track the gems and kills to remove prototype placeholder code
  
• Adjusted tooltips to avoid confusing players
  
• Combo Meter now uses the classes color
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Shot Charge is no longer lost when activating Meteor
  
• Fixed Parameter values for Player Animations being set to very weird numbers
  

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• The "Demo" Table no longer works correctly. It has no proper boss fight, and is in the process of a major overhaul
  
• The new Golem Boss for Graveyard has not been balanced at all
  

[h3]Other[/h3]

• During this table overhaul, the "close range" system started to cause some serious issues with the gameplay. We removed this system entirely as we feel the game plays better without it.

[h3]Other[/h3]

[h2]Version: v0.8.13[/h2]
[h3]New Features[/h3]
