Patch 1.7.1 (15 March 2018)

- We're constantly tweaking and fixing Obduction, but this update has a bit more than just tweaks and fixes. We've included a few extra places to explore -- places that fill in a bit more of the story. It's a perfect time to play Obduction again, get a bit further, or maybe even try Obduction in VR. Make it home.

Internal Update (19 March 2018)
GOG fixes

Removed stray 'ReplaceVistaIcon.exe' file that could trigger false positives in some AV programs

#### Update 1.1.0 (19 March 2018)

* Implemented a Fast Combat Animations option to speed up combat animations. The option can be found in the game settings and it has to be activated, since the default option is “off” to help new players understanding what’s going on.
* Added a separated volume slider for sea shanties and an option to disable them, since now they keep playing till the end and maybe some people would not enjoy it.
* Implemented Controller support
* Added the option to not pause and mute the game when tabbing out. This could be useful if you play the game in window mode or while doing something else.
* Added “Take All” button in Post Combat interface
* Added damage to the Tusk Strike attack of the narwhals, since the “bandages” ability was making them too easy to hunt.
* Changed hunt risk formula to increase chance to have a low risk hunt
* Added tool tip informing the user about the risks of automatic combat, now you know the chance to lose a man
* Decreased chance to lose men during automatic combat. By investing in harpoon technology and good hunters you can have “0% chance to lose a man” automatic hunts

* Decreased difficulty of combats in Main Quest 1
* Shanties are no longer stopped by entering a city, quest events or combats, they keep playing till their end. They are still stopped by cut scenes.

#### Patch 1.06 (19 March 2018)

##### Improvements:

* You can now sell items back to the shop! Simply drag the item you want to sell over the shop area. You'll only get 10% of the full item price though because the main purpose of this is for people who want to tidy up their inventories.
* Stars earned are shown above the chapter cards on the Select Chapter screen. Each mode (relaxed/normal/very hard) records stars earned separately.
* Added confirmation dialog for when purchasing shop items.
* Default.ini changed so that game will load in borderless window instead of full-screen on first play.

##### Fixes:

* Fixed Borderless Window on Mac to have no title bar and to hide app launcher bar.

Internal Update (19 March 2018)

GOG fixes
- Removed stray 'ReplaceVistaIcon.exe' file that could trigger false positives in some AV programs

Update 1.0.3 (19 March 2018)

- Benjo's Quest: Bug where players could get stuck.
- Fixed a bug in the Goblin mine where you could get teleported by accident.
- Missing text in the Japanese tutorials.
- Fixed issues with playing the game in 4K.

Patch 637 (19 March 2018)

- This patch release brings us to version 6.37 and not only fixes bugs but also adds a requested camera FOV option in the graphics menu!

Fixed:
- Infinite loop in Kerold's dialog when asking about holy berries.
- The counter of the task to get the obols in the catacombs is erroneous.
- The Visuals and Audio menu options don't show up as localized.
- Case where you can't buy maps from Rolo.
- It is possible to call the map, interface, perception skill or tool cycling during end sequence.
- Specific cases of Tilo being sent to jail as a red ranger and getting locked in the cell with Silas.
- The "Stack" skill doesn't work after reloading a save (tools number gets capped at 5).
- Texture resolution is reset to normal after closing and reloading the game.

Changed:
- Added an option in the Visuals options to change the camera FOV.
- The "Stack" skill now allows Tilo to carry more candles as well.
- (Also, the "silver ring from gambler" patch is now retroactive, and so is the "chest bundle for Silas" fix)

#### Update 1.04 (20 March 2018)

* Maximum framerate is now limited to the monitor refresh rate in order to prevent runaway framecounts on high-end machines.(This is not V-sync, so weaker machines will still display at a best-effort frame count.)

#### Build b107b (20 March 2018)

##### WORLD SEEDS

* From now on, all new characters now store a special number called a “world seed” which you can view from the Options menu. This number determines how the dungeon is constructed, where monsters are placed, which legendaries show up first, and so on. Though your actions will have the biggest impact on how the game plays out, the world seed is the foundation.
* Naturally, since you can view this seed number, you can also _input_ a seed number during character creation to play in a specific game world! This is a fun way to challenge friends to see if they can beat YOUR dungeon, and vice versa. You could also use it as a way to practice the game by re-using the same seed for future characters.

##### BUGS

* You can no longer mark your own corral pet as hostile.
* Fixed keyboard/controller behavior where moving the targeting square above an enemy would not show that enemy’s info (while targeting an ability or firing a ranged weapon)
* Fixed ^number^ tags appearing when viewing some abilities, including on the character creation screen at first load
* Removed visible “\” tags from certain areas (please let us know if you see more of these!)
* Fixed (again?) visual issue where Floracondas / Guardian Spheres could pull you beneath Deadly Void tiles in Item Dreams sometimes
* Tents should now be removed from the hotbar if you use your last one
* Fixed bug where Delayed Teleport was triggering its emblem-only effect all the time
* Jellies spawned by friendly jellies should now be your faction instead of neutral/hostile
* Heavy Golem’s forcefield no longer lasts forever
* Fixed display error when removing/extracting certain magic mods via Dreamcaster, such as Sheltering
* Fixed inconsistency with Job Trial callout
* Fixed bug with regen Stamina/Energy game modifier
* Removed jank from game credits when at 4k resolution
* Fixed log bug when withdrawing items from the bank
* Fixed bug where Spellshaper’s elemental resist boost from Auras was always in effect regardless of Emblem, and also the bug where Spellshaper’s tier 3 Emblem effect granting elemental resistance based on elemental damage taken was not triggering
* Fixed bugs related to abilities learned from items causing weird states on your hotbar
* Fixed bug where Edge Thane’s low-health effects were sometimes not triggering, stacking, or appearing in your Status list

##### CONTENT/GAMEPLAY

* Pandora’s Boxes now ALSO grant slightly higher treasure find (about 0.75%) and gold find (about +1%) per box. Treasure find = chance of getting extra and/or magical items, Gold Find = multiplier on gold drops. Even more tempting, eh?!

##### ENGINE

* Optimizations to map creation time (it should be about 25% faster overall now)

##### QUALITY OF LIFE

* You can now fast travel to side areas while _in_ a safe / cleared side area (from the Portal menu)
* The Skill screen now shows ability cooldowns in your ability list, marking these abilities in yellow instead
* Added a “BACK” button on the ‘Feed Monster’ UI which returns you to the monster list

##### WRITING

* Fixed inconsistency with Pandora’s Box/Chest - it is now a BOX

* * *

#### Build b106i (20 March 2018)

##### GAME MODIFIERS

* Our vision for Tangledeep is a challenging but fair experience that can be conquered on Heroic or even Hardcore mode with practice and skill. You don’t need a ton of luck to win, nor do you need to be a roguelike expert. We create content and adjust balance with this vision in mind.
* However, we understand that all players are different, and if you want to change the core Tangledeep experience to make it easier or harder, we’re introducing a new feature allowing you to do just that: GAME MODIFIERS. You can toggle any number of Game Modifiers during character creation. Some make the game harder, others easier, or more random.
* All modifiers are strictly optional and we do encourage new players to experience the game without any of them. You can use as many or as few as you want - even all of them at once! With all that said, here are the modifiers we are introducing:
* Player Health regeneration (1% of max per turn out-of-combat)
* Player Energy and Stamina regeneration (1.5% of max per turn out-of-combat)
* Half Fullness time
* No gold drops from monsters
* Triple Pandora’s Boxes per floor
* Non-food consumables have a 3 turn shared cooldown
* Corral pets cannot die and are returned to the corral with lower Happiness instead
* JP gain halved
* All monsters have one champion power
* Enemy monsters regenerate Health per turn
* Cannot use abilities that are not on your hotbars; cannot swap abilities in the dungeon
* Please note that we will not be balancing the game around any of these modifiers. They are not the intended experience; they are a way for you to customize YOUR experience!

##### BALANCE

* The health bonus of Floramancer’s tier 2 and 3 innate bonuses has been reduced
* If your Floraconda dies, the cooldown to resummon it is now reset to max. To compensate, the cooldown has been reduced from 12 to 6 turns.
* Champion monsters should no longer spawn near staircases (within ~5 tiles in any direction). This means you should no longer arrive at a new floor only to be greeted by a powerful critter!
* Modified AI behavior to be a bit more forgiving when it comes to multiple champions aggroing the hero at once. (Does not apply to NG+).
* Likewise modified regular monster behavior to avoid huge pile-ups in early levels just due to unlucky monster placement. (Does not apply to NG+).
* Bosses now have a 75% chance to resist Paralyze, Stun, and Seal effects each turn

##### BUGS

* Fixed a variety of Emblem and Trial related bugs such as trials not completing, stats not increasing, and not being prompted to get a new tier ability
* The cursor should no longer flicker while the Riverstone intro text is showing upon character creation
* Added extra checks to ensure any rumors in side areas automatically enable those side areas if they are not discovered
* Fixed bug where Athyes’ headband’s “Igniting” effect did not stack with a weapon using the same mod
* Fixed bug where released pets would sometimes hang around on the map
* Fixed issue with buggy stair connections before the 3rd boss (i.e. if you left the area with the NPC and returned)
* Craggans’ mud-summoning power no longer affects tiles with existing terrain
* Fixed sprite layering issue with the portal in town
* Fixed bug with finishing tier 2 & 3 trials
* Fixed bug with Knight’s Glove effect stacking
* Fixed rare game error on game load in a file with multiple pets/summons
* Fixed bug where Flask count was not visually refreshed after exiting a job trial sometimes
* Fixed inconsistencies with individual and stacked item sale price, particularly for stuff like Skill Orbs / Lucid Orbs. Also fixed inconsistencies with Deposit price for individual/stacked items.
* Fixed bug that prevented you from using a Skill Orb on an item with 5 mods
* Fixed bug where Shadowstep would not trigger Brigand’s tier 3 innate ability.
* Sword Dancer’s Emblem ability that counter-attacks when being pulled should no longer trigger unless you started (or ended) the movement next to the monster
* The chance to pass days from Item Dreams now takes into account affinities, so easier dreams due to affinities will be less likely to pass time, and vice versa
* Fixed bug that cut the powerup drop rate in half on load (was only meant to apply to NG+!)

##### CONTENT/GAMEPLAY

* Game Modifiers! See above section.

##### ENGINE

* Numerical text for abilities, items, statuses, and magic mods is now stored in a location-agnostic way. Wow this was a lot of work.
* Converted all internal XML to localization-friendly master file format.

##### QUALITY OF LIFE

* It is now possible to dismiss any summoned pet. Click on their portrait in the “Pet Party” window (or, on controller/keyboard, use Examine mode and select them), then select “Dismiss Pet”. This does NOT trigger on-death effects; the pet simply vanishes immediately.
* If you have the Sword Dancer emblem ability that attacks enemies when pushed/pulled, and your attack misses, this will now print to the log no matter what
