Preparation update for v8.0

To prepare for the upcoming new Towers Mode and the new Burden items that will come with it, I've had to rewrite parts of how gifts are tracked and applied to your character. The main consequence of this is that any mid-run saves from the current version will not be compatible with the next update. To be clear, this is only referring to saving a run in the middle with the "save and exit" option to continue it later! The rest of your save file will be fine.

To make sure the transition is as smooth as possible, I am updating the game with these changes as v7.27 on Tuesday, August 29th, around 7 PM PST. If you have a suspended run from a previous version, it will just delete the run and go to the main hub menu.

You can also opt into the beta branch right now and already be on the new version! I will be merging the branches when the main one gets updated, so it will automatically put you back into the main branch. If you do this now, you will not have to worry about it later!

[h3]How To Access The Beta[/h3]
Right click the game in your Steam library
Properties > Betas > v7,27 beta (no password needed)
And it will automatically download

These are the v7.27 changes available in the beta branch now and will be available to everyone on Tuesday

  • It is now required that the No One's Gift event is encountered at least once before other monster Free Gift events will appear
  • Scrambla and Boiler comment on gifts that they can store, but are duplicates of starting gifts or gifts that you took out of the link synapse at the start of the run.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

  • Bonus Gifts offered in the cycle finale stages of Endless Stress would still need to be radiated
