ːJackie7ː [b]The Bug Slaying Patch (v.1.0.4.5)[/b] is now live on Steam, and it’s only like, 3 weeks later than we told Discord it would be! The main point of this patch is, obviously, to fix the most critical bugs in the game, but we’ve also done quite a bit of balancing work, removed exploits, and even added a sneaky lil feature here and there. Turns out the QA team isn’t happy when you do that, though. Shout out to those folks for putting up with us. All this stuff is coming to consoles in the upcoming weeks! Stay tuned. [h2]ːGoOverː Features:[/h2] [list] [*]Added an option to turn off the jitter effect in the menus (This was meant to be in to begin with whoops) [*]You can now control the menus with your controller’s D-pad [*]There is now a menu option to change between holding the trigger & pressing it to toggle Focus [*]Attempting to swap inventory slots while attacking or dodge rolling will now buffer the input and swap the weapon once the action ends [*]“Attack Speed Up” buff now improves the reload time of projectile-type weapons [*]Added an option to view the credits from the title menu [*]The dialogue before founder boss fights will now be skipped if you already have their share. [*]Added the option to invert the camera’s X-Axis control. [*]Enemies should no longer spawn so close to the player when they first enter a new combat room. [*]Screenshake algorithm has changed to have a smoother falloff and less intensity when smacking a bunch of environment objects. Try it out! [*] Confidence Juice and Tappi’s max-level mentor bonus now play music to let you know how long they last. [*]You can now date the Slime Hand in Winkydink. “Just like real life. -Nick” [/list] [h2]ːGoUnderː Balance Changes:[/h2] [list] [*]Made earning 5 stars in the Styxcoin Event slightly more lenient [*]Nerfed the Rifle from 100 shots to 80 [*]You can now use SelfCare+ at max HP and it will grant 2 armor instead of 1 [*]Beggar Queen’s damage bonus has been reduced slightly, and no longer applies to unarmed attacks. [*] Purchase Protection now only triggers on cash purchases of $10 or more. [*] Fern’s vending machine will stop working after buying 3-6 cans.

[*]Extended the length of Retaliatory’s damage buff from 2 seconds to 3. [*] Fire Grates in Winkydink now turn off when the combat concludes. [/list] [h2]ːJoblinː Bug Fixes:[/h2] [list] [*]Fixed an issue where extra connected controllers would fail to function (and even some keyboards & mice from the future would cause this) [*]Fixed an issue where force closing the game during Ray’s “app announcement scene” could prevent apps from unlocking for the rest of the game [*]Prevented Eclaire from glitching into walls & floors [*]Fixed issue where walking Eclaire or possessing a debt ball would cause you to teleport around when riding a vehicle. [*]Fixed an issue where dollars wouldnt succ to Jackie if she was Downsized [*]Fixed an issue with a rare Winkydink room containing a weird hat with no weapon icon [*]Fixed an issue with the Resolution setting in the options where it would only say "1920x1080" [*]Fixed an issue where enemies wouldnt spawn in a certain room in Styxcoin [*]Fixed an issue where the options menu showed that the scroll wheel is how to Switch Focus Target on mouse/keyboard.

[*]Over-protective now works properly when used as a Pinned Skill [*]NPC’s names now appear properly in dialogue scenes [*]Steam achievements relating to completing mentorships now work properly.

[*] Prevented the player from defeating a boss and triggering the victory cutscene in the same frame as being defeated [*] Companions now set themselves to either side of Jackie instead of right on top of her when entering new rooms, preventing an issue where you could be shoved into the void by your companions in certain dungeons [*] Fixed an issue where only Forbidden Flavors would spawn once unlocked [*] Fixed an issue where using Swomp's chill zone too much would break it permanently [*] Fixed an issue where the hurtboxes of Hover Hands’ hands were inaccurate. [*]Prevented an issue where completing a mentor level at the same time as getting the 3rd Share could soft lock game progress until restarted. [*] Fixed cubes turning bright white when opened.
