Patch notes

Hi folks,

We have just released an update for DemonCrawl that includes a couple quality of life improvements, foundational work for localization and mod support, and a number of important bug fixes - full patch notes are below!

---

New Features

• Added a "posthumous hint" effect to show where you could have moved if you lose the quest
  

Quality of Life

• Refactored event trigger code for better localization and (eventual) mod support
  
• We can now load event-driven item strings from external JSON files
  
  • For example, if you want to change the Extra Pocket text that appears when you enter a stage, you would add a line called "Extra Pocket_msg_ENTER_STAGE" to English.json
    
  • Dynamic text can be added to strings in the form of letter variables, e.g. "Reduced the stage power by $A!"
    
  • Most items do not utilize this new system quite yet... but they will soon! Proper documentation to follow as well.
    
  
  
• Finality omen now creates a toast notification when you die
  

Balance Changes

• Mastery start-of-stage effects--e.g. Spark and Spy--will now trigger before your items
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed regression related to level-up lag
  
• Fixed crash related to Bubbler III
  
• Fixed crash related to strangers dropping loot
  
• Cleaned up hover detection on some UI elements
  
• Set fake cell value cap of +12 to match visuals
  
• Fixed certain item properties lingering after item transformation
  
• Fixed a few rare instances of omen and passive negation interfering with special item properties
  
• Strings are now loaded at the start of the game, rather than every time a profile is selected
  
• Fixed a few instances of lingering particles between menus
  
• Fixed a crash related to stepping through a dimensional portal with Shadowbind
  
• Speculative fix for Novice I reading the board state incorrectly following chords
  

Hotfix #1 @ 3:30 PM EST - Fixed crash related to autodischarge magic items.
