Devil's Spire first patch after release is one made almost entirely of fan suggestions, bug reports, and overall good ideas! Check out all the improvements: [i]Steam version only:[/i] [list] [*] Community items, which should go live soon! Including profile backgrounds, emoticons, and trading cards of the dungeons, with canon lore! [*] If you didn't already know, the game was verified as fully compatible with the Steam Deck! [*] Added full support for Steam screenshots. [*] The "Devil's Spire" Steam achievement for earning all the other achievements in the game will now be re-checked for on the title screen, to avoid the issue of failed stat submissions to the Steam API. [*] Fixed the "A Hero's Death" achievement. [*] Using Wells and Bells now only counts towards the Steam achievements if you're in the dungeons. [/list] [i]All versions:[/i] [list] [*] New, hidden, unlockable difficulty: NIGHTMARE! [*] Improvements and fixes to gameplay: [list] [*] Immortal characters now lose one random stat on death, complete with fun flavor text! [*] You can now move and zoom the map using the mouse while holding the Map key (default M)! [*] Camera will no longer jump when you get out of a stunned state (in which you can't move the camera, like being frozen). [*] You now only Dodge when you actually press the button. [*] Dodging's crouch height is now dependant on your character's actual height, to avoid clipping below the floor when Shrunken. [*] The Mute ailment now drains half as much MP, but drains HP if you have no MP, at half the rate of Poison. [*] Gold Bars (from Yellow Boss Stones and Raider's starting equipment) are now Gold Dust, which is weighless. [*] You now get bonus current HP and MP when you allocate stat points to VIT and INT, and also when you get a red boss stone. [*] Your character now falls down more drastically when killed. [*] There's now an extra confirmation message when you go back to the title screen or exit the game if you don't have a save file for that mode. [*] Kicks now deal 1 damage. This mostly means that they can now aggro enemies. [*] Healing now recovers Health twice as fast, but is interrupted by taking damage. This also applies enemies and to Magic regen and drain. [*] Better collision code for thrown, lunging, etc., objects and actors. Should highly decrease the chance of going out of bounds. [*] Fixed some weirdness during the Soul and Immortal game modes' endings. [*] Fixed changing the spell being cast when picking another one up while already casting a spell. [*] Fixed keeping your powers from boss stones when starting a new game after exiting a game from the pause menu.

[/list] [*] Improvements and fixes to powers from rings and boss stones: [list] [*] Power from Stat weapon enchantments now deal the bonus damage half a second after hitting, with unique visuals and sounds depending on the attribute. [*] The Unarmed Blade can now break barrels and crates, to increase its utility. And synergizes better with the Ranged Attacks power. [*] Bosses can now be tackled with the Charging Run power. [*] You're now visible when you have the Invisibility power not only when opening doors, but also chests, barrels and crates. Also, because kicks now deal 1 damage, they alert enemies too.

[*] The green fire from the Fiery Steps power now no longer damages un-aggroed enemies. [*] The Always parry power now visibly makes your weapon/shield vibrate when blocking.

[/list] [*] Improvements and fixes to spells: [list] [*] Casting Enchant on a weapon now properly "upgrades" its name to reflect its increase in power (+1, +2, etc).
