Hi folks,

We just deployed a new content patch for DemonCrawl! This update includes 5 new [[items]], 3 new [[Daily Missions|daily missions]], some performance improvements and a secret stage.

The {{IconLink|Friendly Mimic}} is an awesome new passive designed by Mythic Patron CaineSenpai. It transforms your chests into strong [[Familiar|familiars]] that help you complete stages!

While designing this item, CaineSenpai made an important note:

"If you lost the ability to open the chests [and] got the item early game it wouldn't be very fun locking you from any new items"

We agreed on that, and decided to give the Friendly Mimic a bit of special functionality: even though it converts your chests to familiars, you can still open them as if they were regular chests! It's a lot of fun.

Full patch notes are available below. Enjoy!

---

===New Features===

*New passive item designed by Mythic Patron CaineSenpai: {{IconLink|Friendly Mimic}} - "Your chests are strong familiars. You can still open them."
*New passive item: {{IconLink|Fairy Queen}} - "When you enter a stage, reduce the minimum stage power to 1."
*New passive item: {{IconLink|War Hawk}} - "Whenever a familiar dies or kills a monster, gain a soul. Spawn two familiars at the start of each stage."
*New passive item: {{IconLink|Loupe}} - "Diamonds are worth 1 more coin."
*New consumable item: {{IconLink|Small Star}} - "Launch a Blessing in a random direction from target visible cell."
*Added "Lazy Draw Timer" setting to adjust the frequency of updating calculation-intensive numbers
*New [[Daily Missions|daily mission]]: Overflow of the Heart - "Collect 5 hearts while you are at full life."
*New [[Daily Missions|daily mission]]: Armor Up - "Gain 40 armor."
*New [[Daily Missions|daily mission]]: Hallowed Ground - "Apply Sanctified or Cursed to 20 cells."
*Added a secret stage...
*Updated GameMaker runtime to the latest version

===Arena===

*Detour screen transitions have been streamlined a bit for comfort

===Quality of Life===

*Improved performance on shop screens
*[[Familiar]] sprites will persist between stage loads

===Balance Changes===

*[[Stranger#Priest|Priest]]'s upper price limit has been lowered from 40 to 30 coins
*Instead of sanctifying cells, the [[Stranger#Priest|Priest]] will now get rid of any negative morality you may have
*{{IconLink|Drill}} rework: "[90 Mana] For a number of turns equal to the value of target numbered cell, spawn loot in that cell each turn and conceal surrounding 5x5 area."
*{{IconLink|Pickaxe}} price increased from 14 to 15

===Bug Fixes===

*Fixed crash related to {{IconLink|Ectoplasm}}
*Fixed {{Mod|Shiny}} currency drops

2022-10-02T21:19:27Z

Chaotick: Spurious edit to see if that triggers this to be added to the Masteries table

{{Masteries |Tier I = If you can't afford a stranger's price, kill him.
|Tier II = Whenever a stranger dies, activate Rotting Head.
|Tier III = [3 Charges] Kill all visible monsters and activate Rotting Head for each.
|Unlock I = Unlock by killing 5 or more strangers in a single quest.
|Unlock II = Unlock II by killing 10 or more strangers in a single quest.
|Unlock III = Unlock III by killing 30 or more strangers in a single quest.
}}The <strong>Barbarian</strong> [[Mastery]] is focused on killing [[Strangers]] to activate the {{IconLink|Rotting Head}} effect.

If the player has divine rotting head enabled, the divine head will be activated.

*{{Version|1.60}} Barbarian III buff: Charges reduced from 5 to 4

v1.77 Patch Notes

Hi folks,

We just released a new content patch for DemonCrawl!

This update includes 6 new items, an engine improvement that allows us to create consumable items with targeted effects, several redesigned sprites and balance changes.

Also, you can now create parties in Arena by inviting people from your Steam friends list! This feature is still a work in progress, so you may need to be a bit gentle with it.

Full patch notes are below. Enjoy!

P.S. The Summer Event has drawn to a close. Thank you to all those who participated and provided feedback on the holiday mechanics!
