CONTENT/GAMEPLAY
* Monsters will now be much more aggressive to player pets, if those pets are in between the monster and the player. * * They also have generally improved pathfinding and targeting behavior... in theory?
* There is now a huge variety of Item Dreams layouts and map types! ENJOY!

ENGINE
* Reworked monster spawning/placement code
* RE-enabled the game pre-launcher for resolution and VSync control, this time removing any potentially confusing mappable Inputs (it should hopefully be obvious that this is not the right area to rebind controls, as it is done ingame instead!)

* When using a portal to exit and return to an Item Dream, you will return to the spot where you left
* When viewing ability info, you will now see which damaging abilities can crit
* You can now fast travel to the 1st and 2nd branching areas as well as the 17th floor, instead of floors 5/10/15
* PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 mappings have been added as defaults
* The opening tutorial stage now always plays on a completely fresh save slot

* When opening/closing the menu screen with the generic Menu button (i.e. with Start on controller, or clicking the character portrait) you will now return to the last screen you last visited

I'm incredibly passionate about this game and I want to deliver the best possible experience to everyone playing it. :-)

Thanks for helping me keep up on this, guys! New build was just uploaded; GOG team should have it up within 24h.

b061 / July 31, 2017

NOTE: If you have corrupted resistance data (negative values) please remove all gear, go to town, wait for any temporary buffs/debuffs to wear off, and then hold right bracket ] and tap the H key. This should repair your data.

ART/VISUALS
- New graphic for "Blademaster" champions... an actual blade! Also, updated visual for Blessed Hammer

BALANCE
- Healing bonus of "Food Lover" feat reduced from +35% to +18%
- Base health increase of "Toughness" feat increased from 20 to 30; HP scaling slightly increased per level as well. - Previously, base HP at level 15 was 1955 w/o Toughness, and 2045 with. Now, with Toughness, you will have ~2293 at level 15.
- Damage bonus of Rager feat increased to 20% (from 15%)
- Adjusted aggro logic of certain monsters with "Gang Up" or "Predator" behavior; they now have a chance to aggro you regardless of any other factors

BUGS
- Fixed bug where buff/debuff icons were not appearing
- Fixed bug where powerups would all tend to stack up in one tile
- "Harrier" champion mod, as well as other abilities that pick random nearby tiles, will no longer target tiles outside the originating actor's line of sight
- Fixed bug where number of Pandora's Boxes opened was not accurately tracked
- Fixed bug where controller navigation of the secondary skill hotbar would not work properly
- Avenger champions will no longer enrage if a player-faction pet dies
- Fixed major bug where items upgraded in Item Dreams would not accurately save/load their item value. This meant loading a game and entering an already-upgraded item would result in an easier-than-intended Item Dream
- Fixed bug where, in New Game+, your summoned pets would inherit NG+ monster bonuses
- Fixed bug in New Game+ where some boss HP was not scaling properly
- ALL actor data is now cleared when you start a New Game+ run; this includes completed quests and such
- Monsters are now capable of breaking a wide variety of destructibles such as boxes and crates (as intended)
- Materialized elemental summons will no longer cast on top of breakable destructible objects like crates and boxes
- Loot value of destructibles in New Game+ now scales (as intended)
- Fixed Regen Flask and item/food healing amount estimation in UI; these were not taking into account Discipline's effect on buff duration
- Fixed bug where Jump Boots did not affect Righteous Charge, Flying Kick, or Jumping Shot
- Fixed major bug where some status effects that increased or decreased stats such as physical resistance were not properly reversed on end.
- Fixed bug with Choco Bar not doing anything
- Paladin's Heavy Guard should no longer do anything if you have less than 7 Stamina (the buff will still show, but the effect on block will not be shown, and it will have no actual effect)
- Paladin's Heavy Guard will now reflect 50% decrease of crit chance on the character sheet
- Fixed bug with the "Volcano" map type where far fewer monsters would spawn than intended. This could also cause errors when trying to generate the item world, if there were no monsters on the final floor...
- Fixed bugs with backup monster placement logic, used for various map layouts (resulting in slightly fewer monsters than intended in certain areas)
- Most likely fixed crash with Erin the rumor giver
- Planks/Shovels in Item Dreams should no longer spawn on 'solid terrain' like trees or earth pillars
- Fixed bug where if you started the game while alt+tabbed (or otherwise out-of-focus), returning to the game would cause the volume to spike up.
- Fixed bug where starting the game while alt-tabbed would cause the music to be at normal volume, even with "Audio Off When Minimized" enabled

ENGINE
- Added "lax factor" to monster spawn algorith, which means on smaller maps, less-than-ideal monster placement will be used if it means achieving the desired density

More than two?! :o Well, if enough people request it, I'll do it! In the meantime,

b063 / August 3, 2017 (Should go live today) - Includes b062 of course

* Thundering Lion no longer procs from ranged weapons
* The boost to skill damage from using an offhand weapon (dual wielding) has been reduced. Previously, using two weapons of the same power while dual wielding would give you about +35% more damage from weapon based skills. Now, the damage bonus is closer to +15%. As skills cannot miss, the bonus for using them while dual wielding is not intended to be high.
* Energy and Stamina no longer grow with level. (Keep in mind, there are many items and magic mods that boost these stats.)

* Bandit Brigand's Smoke Bomb buff/debuff now lasts a bit longer
* Detonate Vines will actually destroy the vine(s) now
* Jade Salamanders are now tougher overall, and their poison breath lasts longer
* The effect of Discipline on buff duration has been reduced, as it was significantly powerful at higher levels in lengthening the duration of food heals, Tornado Stance etc.
* To balance the above change, the base effect of HP-restoring food has been increased, which should be particularly useful at lower levels
* PETS of all kind now scale much better in terms of their damage output. Their toughness also scales a bit better.
* Weapon scaling of enemy faction summoned monsters should be a little toned down now
* Adjusted scaling of enemy-summoned Fungal Toads from "Frog Gang" champion ability
