  • 6 new items
  • Added save repair system
 v1.74 Patch Notes 6 new items and a save file repair system! Hi folks, We just released an update for DemonCrawl that includes 6 new items, a save file repair system, and performance improvements related to GameMaker (the engine that DemonCrawl is made with.) [[File:Patch_notes_1.74.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> The save repair system can analyze your save files--including backups--to recover your progress in the event of data corruption. Such problems are rare but can occur for a variety of reasons, including hardware failure, app crashes, and hiccups in the cloud service. Until now, we have done our best to manually repair save files that players have sent to our support desk, but as our playerbase increases, so does our email load - we are at the point now where an automated solution is necessary. We believe this new system will be able to handle the majority of save issues, but even when it can't, it will generate a log file with diagnostic information called "_repairs.txt" inside of your %localappdata% folder. If you're having issues with your save, you should consult this file for clues about the underlying cause.

  • Christmas Event
  • Gamepad support
  • Better keybinding support
  • Performance improvements
  • Various improvements and fixes
 Hi folks, We just deployed a major update for DemonCrawl! This patch contains a number of exciting changes, including: #'''Proper gamepad support.''' Enable "Controller Mode" in the settings and you will be able to navigate through the game and various menus using directional keys. Even if you don't have a gamepad, it's pretty fun to try out "Controller Mode" on a keyboard - though maybe not as practical as a mouse! We have plans to continue improving this feature over time. #'''Extra keybindings, better keybinding support.''' Players who rely on their keyboard to open/flag cells no longer have to swap to the mouse to perform inputs in other menus. #'''Massive performance improvements.''' We have overhauled many parts of the DemonCrawl engine to great effect. These improvements will be most noticeable in large stages, or on old computers. Depending on your GPU, you might see up to 3-4x increase in FPS while idling in a large stage. Hopefully, we didn't break too many things in the process. 😊 #'''New holiday content.''' There are 15 Christmas missions this year, a new secret stage called Igloo, and more! Check out our companion post for all the details. #'''Spawner rework.''' Sealing an inventory slot to spawn a stranger never felt very fun. Now, you can spawn the stranger for free. However, if you use a spawner too much, it will eventually break, killing all visible strangers of its type. Full patch notes for v1.82 are available below. Enjoy! --- ===Christmas Event=== *Santa's back! Don't get on his bad side *Every quest now has a special Igloo - home to Mrs. Claus *Complete new holiday missions to earn 4 new avatars and a new inventory skin *Expanded holiday questline, 15 in total: you can now complete missions from previous years to earn the original rewards, or tokens if you completed them before *Some of the older holiday missions have been tweaked and rearranged for better flow *Added 3 new avatars to Christmas Prizeboxes ===New Features=== *Added gamepad support *Menus now support the "Open Cell" keybind in place of left click *Menus now support the "Flag Cell" keybind in place of right click *Added setting: Camera Speed - "The speed at which the camera moves from certain effects.

Default: 10" *Added setting: Gamepad Menu Toggle - "Swaps the gamepad cursor between the stage board and HUD elements." *Added setting: Zoom In Keybind *Added setting: Zoom Out Keybind *Added alternative keybinds for panning controls *Added setting: Escape Menu Keybind *New consumable item: [[image:Milk.png|25px|link=Milk]]&nbsp;[[Milk|Milk]] - "Gain 1 defense.

December 31, 2019 Patch (edit) 2019-12-31 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1690470748510889660 The Casual Mode Update! v1.27 Patch Notes 1.27 The wait is finally over! After several weeks of development, we are excited to release one of DemonCrawl's most hotly-anticipated features: a new difficulty setting called Casual Mode that generates 100% solvable boards and completely removes omens from item chests. Whether you are new to minesweeper or simply don't enjoy risk management in your puzzle games, Casual Mode will allow you to fine-tune the gameplay to your exact preferences. Here's a look at all of the options that Casual Mode ships with - these are all turned off by default: *Show Timer - Toggles the HUD timer. *More Monsters - Increases the monster count to match that of Normal Difficulty. *True Random Boards - Toggles the need to guess while solving boards. *Omens in Chests - Toggles whether omens may appear in item chests. We encourage you to try enabling these options one-by-one as you become more familiar with DemonCrawl's unique mechanics and the different patterns in minesweeper. If you enable all 4 options, Casual Mode is virtually identical to Normal Difficulty. Some Other Notes About Casual Mode *Since Casual Mode is all about customizing your gameplay experience, we will probably use it as a testing ground for experimental changes in the future. Well-received changes may find their way into the other difficulties! *Stage mods and objects can still create situations where you have to guess; our algorithm only tests the board for monster placement, which accounts for the vast majority of 50/50s. We may test other conditions in the future. ==Other Features== As promised in our previous blog post, The Casual Mode Update is not just for new players! Let's take a look at some of the other cool things we've added: We have expanded the item pool to address a few weaknesses in certain builds. The full details are available in the patch notes below, although it might be more fun to discover the new tools as you play... ====Two New Awards & Balance Changes==== There are two new ways to earn XP as you complete stages: *Flagless: Gain XP for not using a single flag. *Thrifty: Gain XP for skipping special stages. Since XP is directly tied to your overall score, we are very interested in seeing if these new awards have any impact on the leaderboards. In particular, Thrifty could lead to some cool moments where players have to decide between improving their build with an Item Shop or maximizing their score. We also buffed a few underperforming items and increased the droprate of items set to Favored. ====Solvable Boards in Classic Mode==== Classic players deserve a bit of love too. ====A new stage mod==== We have added a new positive stage mod called Trusty that guarantees solvability. The mod can show up in ANY difficulty, but it's pretty rare! ====Last but not least, the Christmas Event is officially over.==== Press F in chat for Christmas. ====What's Next?==== We're shifting our focus to bug fixes now. Expect a few stability patches this week, and keep sending us those amazing error reports. :) --- ==Patch Notes== ===New Features=== *Casual Mode has been added to the game *Solvable boards can be enabled or disabled in Classic Mode *New beneficial stage mod: Trusty (stage is solvable without guessing) *New award: Flagless (earn XP for completing a stage without using flags) *New award: Thrifty (earn XP for skipping special stages) *You can now choose to start a quest with no mastery *Christmas is dead... for now ===New Items=== *Head armor: Frozen Helmet - [3 Armor] All Frozen cells are gleaned. Fortify whenever a monster becomes frozen. *Body armor: Electric Chestplate - [5 Armor] Monsters in Electric cells deal normal damage. Fortify whenever you collect loot from an Electric cell. *Leg armor: Burning Boots - [2 Armor] Burning cells do not hurt you. Fortify whenever an object is destroyed by Burning. *Leg armor: Batwing Boots - [3 Armor] Every 50 turns, gain a random omen if you just clicked on a 3 or greater. *Consumable item: Fortune Cookie - The selected stage gains the Trusty mod. *Consumable item: Molotov - Apply Burning to random hidden cells until it lands on one without a monster. *Passive item: Hero Brooch - When you enter a stage, reduce the max power by 1. If you have a legendary item, cut the max power in half instead. *Passive item: Dark Amulet - Guarantees 3 additional Dark Hearts per stage. Collect Dark Hearts to restore 1 life and gain a random omen. *Magic item: Ice Scraper - [50/50 Mana] If target cell has Frozen, remove the aura, then solve it and all nearby cells. *Magic item: Medusa Head - [400/400 Mana] Convert all visible strangers into Spawners of the same type, then unseal an inventory slot for each stranger converted this way. ===Balance Changes=== *If you visit an Item Shop with at least 10 coins, it will always have at least one item you can afford *Dirty Soap now blows up orbs in a 3x3 area instead of 1x1 *Totem now activates every 30 turns instead of every 20 *Pyromancy, Cryomancy, and Electromancy now give souls instead of restoring life *Frozen cells can now be gleaned *Somewhat increased the droprate of Favored items *Odds to find Favored items now automatically scales with the total number of items in the game *Sign messages are less likely to show the stage-specific message ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed a crash when using Ancient Coin after reloading a stage *Fixed a crash when using Sundial on an area with no visible cells *Pressing escape while the help screen is open no longer opens the stage quit menu *Can no longer autoflag concealed cells *Fixed Heart Key spawning new familiars instead of converting visible monsters *Increased the opacity of gleaned cells from 0.65 to 0.80 *Fixed a potential issue with explosions still being able to destroy hidden immutable objects *Fixed Halo not reducing lives to match max lives *Removed irrelevant options from escape menu in Classic Mode *Nomads that want to buy your items now have a different set of greeting messages *DemonCrawl is now better at remembering your difficulty setting Enjoy, and Happy New Year's! Hotfix #1 @ 9:00 PM: Speculative fixes for invisible monsters in Casual Mode and "Done" button not returning to main menu. You may need to restart Steam to get these fixes. If you find yourself still running into either of these errors, please let us know and we will continue to investigate. Thanks!

  • Return of game updates after hiatus
  • Reworked items
 Hello, We have deployed a patch for DemonCrawl on the Windows stable branch. ⚠️ Context surrounding v1.96 crash: we determined that DemonCrawl would not launch when the device was connected via wi-fi due to a very old GameMaker runtime. After updating our tooling, this issue appears to be resolved in v1.97; we tested this new version on two separate Windows 11 devices--one connected via ethernet and the other via wi-fi--both of which worked fine. No ETA yet for other platforms as we're looking for player feedback regarding client stability. However, we're trying some server-side changes that may allow 1.96 to run on Mac and Linux - feedback would be appreciated on this as well. Note that 32-bit support has been retired as it's no longer available in GameMaker. Thank you and have a nice day! --- ===New Features=== *New video setting "Cell Background": draws a dark border behind cells to help separate stage graphics from the main background *Added 5 new avatars *Updated numerous old avatar sprites ===Balance Changes=== *Increased starting lives in Hard Mode from 3 to 4 *Reduced the [[Special Stage#Item Shop|Item Shop]] price multiplier in Hard Mode from 125% to 110% *Reduced the material cost of [[Emblem#Level 3|Lv3 emblems]] from 1000 to 300 *[[image:Hand of Glory.png|25px|link=Hand of Glory]]&nbsp;[[Hand of Glory|Hand of Glory]] buffed: "Whenever you leave a stage, gain 10 coins then steal coins from all visible strangers equal to their price." *[[image:Healthy Heart.png|25px|link=Healthy Heart]]&nbsp;[[Healthy Heart|Healthy Heart]] buffed: "Whenever you restore life, restore the same amount of life after 40 turns." *[[image:Appetizer.png|25px|link=Appetizer]]&nbsp;[[Appetizer|Appetizer]] buffed: "Restore 1 life whenever you spend at least 4 coins." *[[image:Stake.png|25px|link=Stake]]&nbsp;[[Stake|Stake]] nerfed: "Every 60 turns without making a mistake, double the stage power." *[[image:Shopping Bag.png|25px|link=Shopping Bag]]&nbsp;[[Shopping Bag|Shopping Bag]] price increased from 7 to 14 coins *[[image:Lucky Bamboo.png|25px|link=Lucky Bamboo]]&nbsp;[[Lucky Bamboo|Lucky Bamboo]] price increased from 5 to 7 coins *[[image:Big Wallet.png|25px|link=Big Wallet]]&nbsp;[[Big Wallet|Big Wallet]] price increased from 8 to 9 coins *[[image:Arcane Barrier.png|25px|link=Arcane Barrier]]&nbsp;[[Arcane Barrier|Arcane Barrier]] price increased from 15 to 25 coins *[[image:Reflector Blade.png|25px|link=Reflector Blade]]&nbsp;[[Reflector Blade|Reflector Blade]] price increased from 26 to 32 coins *[[image:Mind Gut.png|25px|link=Mind Gut]]&nbsp;[[Mind Gut|Mind Gut]] price decreased from 38 to 22 coins *[[image:Fake Moustache.png|25px|link=Fake Moustache]]&nbsp;[[Fake Moustache|Fake Moustache]] price decreased from 45 to 38 coins *[[image:Rosin.png|25px|link=Rosin]]&nbsp;[[Rosin|Rosin]] price decreased from 22 to 19 coins *[[image:Dawn Binder.png|25px|link=Dawn Binder]]&nbsp;[[Dawn Binder|Dawn Binder]] price decreased from 50 to 35 coins *[[image:Dusk Binder.png|25px|link=Dusk Binder]]&nbsp;[[Dusk Binder|Dusk Binder]] price decreased from 50 to 35 coins ===System=== *Updated GameMaker runtime to the latest version *Updated Steamworks extension to the latest version *Set default leaderboard version to 1.97 ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed several potential memory leaks *Fixed multiple issues related to networked events *Reworked fragile [[Special Stage#Smithy|Smithy stage]] item logic *Added guardrails around `sprite_delete()` calls to prevent issues with newer GameMaker runtime *Fixed crash that could occur when clicking on an achievement *Fixed a few different crashes that could occur when clicking on objects in the Item Tree special stage *Multiple fixes for [[Arena]]

This process may take a few days, so v1.38 probably won't be available on the Playstore until early next week.

Whenever you use a magic item, it transforms into a different magic item." * Warning Sign: 35 coins -> 29 coins * Scrap Hopper: 25 coins -> 17 coins * Tabula Rasa: 24 coins -> 16 coins * Duster: 24 coins -> 16 coins * Astrolabe: 12 coins -> 16 coins * Timeless stage mod rework: "Your status effect timers do not update." * New Withering stage mod is taking the place of the old Timeless: "Lose 1 life each minute. You cannot die to Withering." * Tweaked Flawless stage mod: "If you take damage, exit the stage without completing and lose a random item." * Stats, armor, and stage power are now capped at 999,999 to prevent memory overflow issues '''Developer's Note:''' ''Flawless was capable of enabling a handful of infinite combos, some of which were slightly too easy to achieve. We have decided to take a soft approach in addressing this with the item loss penalty, rather than directly nerfing any of the combo pieces. We hope this will place a reasonable upper limit on the amount of loot/stats that farming Flawless can provide.'' ===Quality of Life=== * Added notification when trying to change favored or divine items in the codex during a quest ===Bug Fixes=== * Fixed a crash between Reflector Blade and Vengeful stage mod * Fixed a crash caused by entering a shop without any coins as Wizard * Fixed a crash related to objects popped from bubbles, introduced in v1.39 * Fixed Wizard's ultimate ability sometimes failing to charge Divine magic items * Fixed Ankh not activating on direct life loss * Fixed Bones not showing up in Codex even after acquiring the Bones blueprint * Fixed tooltips not showing in the Item Shop while wearing a Bandana * Fixed Thief Bag using Bandana sprite in its alerts * Fixed issue that prevented unlocking multiple Snowflake mastery tiers at once * Fixed a small memory leak in the Codex * Fixed Capitalism effect not writing to disk properly * Speculative fix for crash related to revive animation activating without the HUD present

  • Stability Fixes
  • Various Improvements and Fixes
 Hi folks, We just released an update for DemonCrawl! v1.93 is a small-but-important stability patch that implements a new version of the GameMaker Steamworks extension, which was released just a few hours ago. It purportedly resolves issues with games not launching on Steam.

Full patch notes are below. Enjoy! --- ===Quality of Life=== *Added "Pass" to the dictionary *Updated GameMaker runtime to the latest version *Refactored code related to UI, may improve performance slightly ===Balance Changes=== *Reworked the drop conditions for the following mythic emblems: [[image:Dread Harvest.png|25px|link=Dread Harvest]]&nbsp;[[Dread Harvest|Dread Harvest]], [[image:Original Sin.png|25px|link=Original Sin]]&nbsp;[[Original Sin|Original Sin]], [[image:The Boneyard.png|25px|link=The Boneyard]]&nbsp;[[The Boneyard|The Boneyard]] ===Bug Fixes=== *Updated Steamworks extension which purpotedly resolves issues with games not launching on Steam *Having a full inventory no longer prevents [[image:Nomad.png|25px|link=Strangers#Nomad]]&nbsp;[[Strangers#Nomad|Nomads]] from trading or spawning chests *Fixed <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Overwhelming mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Overwhelming mod]]</span> difficulty rating *Fixed an issue related to [[image:Prism of Chaos.png|25px|link=Prism of Chaos]]&nbsp;[[Prism of Chaos|Prism of Chaos]] and some other aura-related items like [[image:Fireplace.png|25px|link=Fireplace]]&nbsp;[[Fireplace|Fireplace]] *Fixed a few issues related to the <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Stable mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Stable mod]]</span> and monster reveal effects *[[image:Sleeping Powder.png|25px|link=Sleeping Powder]]&nbsp;[[Sleeping Powder|Sleeping Powder]] should now stack correctly

January 08, 2020 Patch (edit) 2020-01-08 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1690472656908916310 Straitjacket Rework! v1.31 Patch Notes 1.31 In which Straitjacket is less dreadful Hello! We have an exciting update for you today. Let's get the big one out of the way first: Straitjacket is now a beneficial armor item. A new omen called Fig Leaf is taking Straitjacket's old spot, but does not prevent you from picking up loot - Fig Leaf merely stops you from wearing armor. We originally designed Straitjacket as a "worst case scenario" omen. We liked the idea of having an item in the pool that was universally feared--especially because most other omens can be subverted to your advantage--but players have rightfully argued that Straitjacket's lack of counterplay is bad design. We agree. Someday, we may introduce a new omen to strike fear in the hearts of all DemonCrawl players, but for now we hope you enjoy the softer side of Straitjacket. We have also added a new boss to the game. Introducing Baglord: Yes, it's the lord of bagmen himself! Baglord will make your life more difficult by spawning cronies throughout the map. If he's in a bad mood, Baglord will slaughter his own men just to intimidate you. This dude's crazy! BAGLORD, LORD OF BAGMEN: *Spawn a Bagman whenever a Dark Heart is collected. *Whenever a Bagman is killed, take damage equal to its empowerment value. *Bagmen cannot weaken monsters. To top it off, we implemented an experimental new stage mod called "Fake" that causes three cells to show incorrect values... can you feel the paranoia setting in? ===What's Next?=== Bug fixes are our highest priority right now - there are still a few important issues we need to address. After that, we would like to run a community poll to determine which features our players are most interested in. We want to make sure we're spending our time on content that people actually care about. 2020 is going to be a great year for DemonCrawl, and it's all thanks to your support! Full patch notes available below. --- ===New Features=== *Added video setting to disable board rumble effect *Stage particles setting now applies to cell auras as well *New boss: Baglord *New stage mod: Fake - "Three cells have the wrong values." *New omen: Fig Leaf - "Unequip your armor. You cannot wear armor." ===Balance Changes=== *Straitjacket has been converted to a Body Armor: "[6 Armor] You cannot pick up loot." *The Timeless mod now deals damage instead of direct life loss *Stage mods will now take the stage density into account when calculating loot droprate *Loot scaling is now capped to prevent empty, powerful stages from having Tokens in every cell *Quest completion XP is now based on the difficulty of all stages, not just the last stage *The Thrifty award now requires you to skip at least 3 special stages and gives more XP to compensate *Charitable award XP can no longer exceed Victory award XP *Bagman no longer increases damage taken from sources other than monsters *Updated default leaderboard version to v1.31 Developer Notes: We really like the idea of Token-farming builds, but realized it was a little too easy to spawn hundreds of Tokens in a stage if you knew what you were doing. With this balance change, adding mods to stages with very few monsters will have a minimal effect on loot drops. However, adding mods to a dense stage will generate more loot than ever! ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed a leaderboard crash when too many results were retrieved *Improved reliability of "My Score" button *Fixed rare situation that could cause immutable landmarks to get destroyed *Frozen aura no longer affects cells with immutable landmarks *The prestige icon will no longer appear after prestige 10 *Fixed a problem with indefinite-type status effects changing into different items on reload (e.g. Horseshoe) *Fixed a few more pluralization issues on item effects *Fixed Fish items not saving aura removal to disk *Fixed Wishpool not saving to disk *Fixed a softlock between Magic Dice and Earthblock *Fixed Beyond Mode token cost not resetting after removing special emblems *Fixed Cattle Prod not saving some cell properties to disk *The stage select screen is now capable of showing more than 9 mods Enjoy! Hotfix #1 @ 8:40 PM: Fixed a crash related to the final boss. Hotfix #2 @ 11:30 AM on Jan 9: Fixed a Mystic Statue exploit.
January 08, 2023 Patch (edit) 2023-01-08 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/3665400201081417402 v1.92 Patch Notes 1.92
  • 10 New Items
  • New Stage Mod  Stable mod
  • Several Balance Changes
  • Substantially Expanded Monster Drop Tables
 Hi folks, The first DemonCrawl patch of 2023 is now live! This update includes 10 new items, a new stage mod, several balance changes, and substantially expanded monster drop tables. Among the new items are '''3 unique types of minions'''. In addition to Minions and Magic Minions, you can now acquire '''Big Minions, Rabid Minions and Shiny Minions'''. Each one corresponds to a different item category and has its own strengths and weaknesses. [[File:v1_92_Patch.png]] Many of the remaining items are also minion-oriented. For example, Pact of Nature is a powerful lategame item that rewards you for having a variety of different minion types. We hope these additions will breathe fresh air into Hunter comps, which haven't received many exciting tools in a while. Actually, Big Minion was planned for inclusion in DemonCrawl's original release, but we hadn't figured out the right niche for him until now. Speaking of things that haven't changed in a while, there's finally a new stage mod! It's called '''Stable''' and it's fairly straightforward: '''any effect that would modify a cell has a 50% chance to fizzle.''' That means gleans, reveals, solves, conceals, explosions, and auras may or may not succeed. There are certainly ways this could work in your favor, which is how we like to design negative effects in DemonCrawl. Finally, the list of monster item drops is quite lengthy now. In fact, we went through the game's 900+ items and tried to assign anything that made sense flavor-wise. It may be a while before some of the rarest drops are discovered by the community, so if you find anything cool or unexpected, we encourage you to share it on our Discord server! The full patch notes for v1.92 are below. Enjoy! --- ===New Features=== *New stage mod: <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Stable mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Stable mod]]</span> - "50% chance to negate effects that would modify a cell." *New legendary item: [[image:Shiny Minion.png|25px|link=Shiny Minion]]&nbsp;[[Shiny Minion|Shiny Minion]] - "Each turn you must guess, this will solve a random cell. This Minion will sacrifice itself to deflect fatal damage." *New magic item: [[image:Pact of Nature.png|25px|link=Pact of Nature]]&nbsp;[[Pact of Nature|Pact of Nature]] - "[100 Mana] Solve a random cell for each of your Minions. If you don't have any, gain a Minion instead. Different minion types will cause different effects." *New passive item: [[image:Big Minion.png|25px|link=Big Minion]]&nbsp;[[Big Minion|Big Minion]] - "Whenever you discover a 5 or greater, reveal a random nearby 3x3 area and kill any monsters within. If you're about to take damage, this Minion will sacrifice itself to deflect 10 damage." *New passive item: [[image:Chew Toy.png|25px|link=Chew Toy]]&nbsp;[[Chew Toy|Chew Toy]] - "Every 60 turns, transform a Minion into a Big Minion or gain a Minion if you don't have any." *New passive item: [[image:Book of Husbandry.png|25px|link=Book of Husbandry]]&nbsp;[[Book of Husbandry|Book of Husbandry]] - "Pick up hearts at full life to gain a Minion." *New consumable item: [[image:Dog Food.png|25px|link=Dog Food]]&nbsp;[[Dog Food|Dog Food]] - "Upgrade your Minions, or gain a Minion if you don't have any." *New consumable item: [[image:Knuckle Wraps.png|25px|link=Knuckle Wraps]]&nbsp;[[Knuckle Wraps|Knuckle Wraps]] - "Your next chord becomes a powerchord." *New omen: [[image:Rabid Minion.png|25px|link=Rabid Minion]]&nbsp;[[Rabid Minion|Rabid Minion]] - "When you gain this as well as every 10 turns, reveal and kill a random monster. If you're about to take damage, this Minion will sacrifice itself to increase the damage by 1." *New omen: [[image:Bagman Medal.png|25px|link=Bagman Medal]]&nbsp;[[Bagman Medal|Bagman Medal]] - "Stages have an additional Bagman." *New omen: [[image:Harbinger Medal.png|25px|link=Harbinger Medal]]&nbsp;[[Harbinger Medal|Harbinger Medal]] - "Stages have an additional Harbinger." *Added some terms to the monster name generator ===Balance Changes=== *Massively expanded monster drop tables *A few items that generate Minions can now choose from special minion types *Effects that depend on your number of Minions, such as [[image:Dog Tag.png|25px|link=Dog Tag]]&nbsp;[[Dog Tag|Dog Tag]], now account for all minion types *[[image:Dove.png|25px|link=Dove]]&nbsp;[[Dove|Dove]] and [[image:Raven.png|25px|link=Raven]]&nbsp;[[Raven|Raven]] status duration lowered from 200 to 100 cells *[[image:Bust.png|25px|link=Bust]]&nbsp;[[Bust|Bust]] rework: "Spawners are more common. Strangers are no longer killed when a Spawner breaks." *[[image:Leather Vest.png|25px|link=Leather Vest]]&nbsp;[[Leather Vest|Leather Vest]] change: "[3 Armor] Fortify by 2 whenever a Minion dies." *[[image:Doomcall.png|25px|link=Doomcall]]&nbsp;[[Doomcall|Doomcall]] change: "When you open half of all empty cells, spawn a Harbinger. Harbingers activate an additional time." *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Fake mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Fake mod]]</span> stage mod nerf: a notification will appear above the cells with fake values *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Lofty mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Lofty mod]]</span> stage mod nerf: "When you open half of all empty cells, increase the value of all cells by 1 except those with a value of 0." *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Haunted mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Haunted mod]]</span> stage mod difficulty increased from 1 to 2 *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Educational mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Educational mod]]</span> stage mod difficulty increased from 2 to 3 *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Flawless mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Flawless mod]]</span> stage mod difficulty increased from 2 to 3 *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Overwhelming mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Overwhelming mod]]</span> stage mod difficulty increased from 2 to 3 *<span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Unchained mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Unchained mod]]</span> stage mod difficulty increased from 3 to 4 ===Bug Fixes=== *Updated to latest GameMaker runtime *Fixed missing drop tables for several monsters *Fixed issue with powerchording --- NOTE: GameMaker's current runtime unfortunately has several bugs preventing us from deploying this version of DemonCrawl to Linux and mobile platforms. We filed a bug report to YoYo Games about the matter on January 2nd but have not heard back. It is likely that they are at least aware of the issue and, with any luck, will have it resolved in time for their next runtime update. We apologize for the inconvenience.
January 11, 2022 Patch (edit) 2022-01-11 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/3108046679309017385 v1.83 Patch Notes 1.83 Hi folks, The first DemonCrawl update of 2022 has arrived! We spent the last few weeks designing a new mastery called '''Ninja''', a new set of demonic Patreon rewards, and 20 new '''holographic effects'''. Yes, you read that right! We have overhauled our holograph workflow and can now produce these kinds of effects in a matter of hours. 😎 We also think they look much nicer than many of the original holographs, but you can judge for yourself: [[File:Patch_notes_1.83.gif]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> Pretty cool, right? Next up is the new [[image:Ninja Mastery.png|25px|link=Ninja Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Ninja Mastery|Ninja mastery]], which possesses a unique form of damage mitigation based on exposed cells. It also completely bypasses monster reveal and death effects as if you were permanently wearing [[image:Shinobi Sandals.png|25px|link=Shinobi Sandals]]&nbsp;[[Shinobi Sandals|Shinobi Sandals]]. [[File:Patch_notes_1.83_2.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> In our testing, it's a decently consistent mastery that doesn't require too much micromanagement. Not too tough to unlock either! The full patch notes for v1.83 are available below. Enjoy! --- ===New Features=== *New patreon rewards: Rise of Demons *New mastery: Ninja - Move with stealth and ignore monster effects *New magic item: [[image:Kunai.png|25px|link=Kunai]]&nbsp;[[Kunai|Kunai]] - "[100 Mana] Kill target visible monster and reveal any monsters nearby." *New passive item: [[image:Ninja Doll.png|25px|link=Ninja Doll]]&nbsp;[[Ninja Doll|Ninja Doll]] - "When you activate your mastery ability, gain [[image:Shuriken.png|25px|link=Shuriken]]&nbsp;[[Shuriken|Shuriken]] equal to the number of times your ability has been activated." *Updated the holograph effect engine *New holograph: Waterfall *New holograph: Ripples *New holograph: Firepit *New holograph: Magic Eraser *New holograph: Flower Field *New holograph: Heart Throb *New holograph: Endless Rain *New holograph: High Tide *New holograph: Fireflies *New holograph: Acid Bath *New holograph: Splattering *New holograph: Gather Energy *New holograph: Through the Clouds *New holograph: Cherry Blossoms *New holograph: Sauna *New holograph: Starstruck (Prizebox Exclusive) *New holograph: Beacons of Light (Prizebox Exclusive) *New holograph: Sonar (Prizebox Exclusive) *New holograph: Vignette (Prizebox Exclusive) *New holograph: Triangle Blast (Prizebox Exclusive) ===Quality of Life=== *The <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Immutable mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Immutable mod]]</span> stage mod alert now includes the name of the stage *Made [[image:Hellspire.png|25px|link=Hellspire]]&nbsp;[[Hellspire|Hellspire]] look slightly more demonic ===Balance Changes=== *Effects that trigger when a monster "spawns" are now distinct from "monster reveal" effects (e.g. [[image:Occultic Pendant.png|25px|link=Occultic Pendant]]&nbsp;[[Occultic Pendant|Occultic Pendant]]) *With the above in mind, [[image:Shuriken.png|25px|link=Shuriken]]&nbsp;[[Shuriken|Shuriken]] wording has been changed to "automatically discharges when a monster spawns" - otherwise Ninja couldn't use ninja stars, which would have been so wrong ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed an issue that could cause active [[Paint|paints]] and holographs to change between updates
January 24, 2020 Patch (edit) 2020-01-24 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1688222120328656080 The Big Balance Patch! v1.35 Patch Notes 1.35
  • 3 new items
  • 7 items reworked
  • Several balance changes
 Hello folks! Today, we are releasing one of DemonCrawl's biggest patches since launch! The theme of this update is balance changes, which happened to rank quite high in our feature poll. (Speaking of which, we will be creating a separate post for the poll results later today - so stay tuned for that!) In the meantime, let's go over some of the highlights in today's patch. Full patch notes are available below as well. We have extended the Token Shop with a few new legendary items. These items are meant to help out certain builds that lacked powerful, synergistic enablers (specifically Electric, Canker, and Bone builds.) We have also re-classified Thicker Skin as a passive item.

• 7 new items and a new Lv3 emblem

Hi folks, We are releasing a beefy patch for DemonCrawl that offers borderless windowed fullscreen mode! This was not an easy feature to add in GameMaker, so we hope it proves useful. :) Additionally, this patch includes 7 new items, a new Lv3 emblem, several balance adjustments, and more! We also managed to fix a few longstanding bugs - cloud sync should behave better now! NOTE: We had to fundamentally change DemonCrawl's display rendering in order to support the new fullscreen method. Should you encounter any visual issues in this update, please send us an email and we will investigate right away. If necessary, you may adjust your display mode in the settings.ini file located at %localappdata%demoncrawl. Thank you! Full patch notes are below. There are some content spoilers. --- ===New Features=== *New head armor: Deerstalker - "Cell values are always correct." *New passive item: Prism of Intellect - "Your targeted magic items will target an additional random cell." *New magic item: Trash Bin - "Lose an item whose position in your inventory equals the value of target visible cell." *New magic item: Basilisk Eye - "Solve a number of random cells equal your sealed inventory slots plus 1." *New omen: Melted Clock - "Triple the duration of your status effects." *New omen: Nervewrecker - "Whenever a monster is revealed, disable your passive items for 20 turns." *New omen: Dizzy Stars - "Double the value of a random cell each stage." *New Lv3 emblem: The Ascent *Added list UI element type, should come in handy for future game settings *Added borderless windowed fullscreen option *Added language selector (note: official translations are not available yet, but you can load your own external JSONs to change item strings; in other words, fan translations are possible.) ===Balance Changes=== *Hourglass converted to a magic item: "[100 Mana] Double the duration of your status effects." *Divine Lantern nerf: "[300 Mana] Glean target hidden cell. If it's a 2 or greater, this item retains its mana." *Divine Simple Robe buff: "[1 Armor] Double the durability whenever you complete a stage that has 2 or more stage mods." ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed Steam Cloud sync not taking prestige into account when determining whether to overwrite the local save file on a secondary machine *Fixed an issue related to taking damage on a Flawless stage with Cultist boss *Fixed Ouroboros potentially setting the maximum stage power to a value lower than the min power *Fixed missing music from one of the secret stages *Fixed Evil Dealings emblem using incorrect sprite *Fixed a rare crash that could occur when purchasing a Doctor from the Guild *Fixed the "buy" button not working in the new special stages unless you clicked on one of the options first *Fixed weird interaction between familiars and Prism of Light *Fixed layering of "new item" indicator against some UI elements *Fixed a rare issue that could cause obscure item properties to desync (e.g. whether orbs bounce off walls) *Fixed a couple armor effects not updating on removal *Fixed certain effects triggering every time a Smithy was entered *Updated the description of Touchstone to clarify that it can stack (negative diamonds ftw) *Fixed "Blade" sigil reflex not spawning a sawblade *Fixed a crash related to the Amnesia portal mod *Fixed spawn rate of Hidden stage mod *Fixed rare crash related to Infinity Key on Quest 5 Hard *Speculative fix for rare Bag of Tricks crash *Android only: fixed a click detection issue for special selection modes (e.g. crafting) Enjoy!

Unfortunately, we have no choice but to postpone the iOS release once again. We don't make this decision lightly. While we won't announce another release date at this time, we feel that we owe our players an apology as well as a full explanation for the delay. The following is a technical recap of the situation. Please keep in mind that we are not trying to shift the blame here - we take full responsibility for failing to meet our deadline. That said, we feel it is important to keep our players in the loop when things don't go as planned. DemonCrawl's iOS port was finished well before the original launch date. The game ran great on our test devices, and we felt confident that we would be able to pass Apple's review for quality control. To the contrary, Apple declined our submission on the grounds that microtransactions were not working properly. It turned out that DemonCrawl could not retrieve a list of MTX products from Apple's servers. We assumed that we must have made a mistake in our implementation somewhere and spent the next several days reviewing our code. Our investigation turned up short. After several more days of going back and forth with Apple's support team, the microtransactions suddenly began working. This was great news, but it cost us a lot of time and we still aren't sure what exactly fixed the problem - our best guess is that there is some undocumented verification process for new iOS microtransactions. After thoroughly testing our MTX, we re-submitted our iOS build to Apple and announced the one-week delay. We figured this would give Apple enough time to conduct their second review (this usually takes around 24 hours) and give us enough time to address any other problems that came up. DemonCrawl was declined again. The review team stated that our microtransactions were causing a crash, which we could not reproduce. We eventually discovered a probable cause - the GameMaker IAP (in-app purchase) extension was known to be buggy on very particular setups. An update for the extension was released a few months ago, but we cannot install it because it is only available for the cutting-edge GameMaker v2.3, which would require complete DemonCrawl project conversion. This is no small task. TL;DR We are in a tricky situation because we just learned that it is probably impossible to publish an iOS app made with a version of GameMaker older than v2.3. DemonCrawl is made with v2.2. Upgrading to v2.3 requires a significant overhaul of DemonCrawl's codebase. Curiously, GameMaker's iOS documentation does not mention the v2.3 requirement, so it caught us off guard at the very last minute. Still, we hold ourselves responsible for the delay as we should not have announced the iOS launch date as early as we did. --- ===What's next?=== We are now beginning the process of upgrading DemonCrawl to GameMaker v2.3. Thousands of lines of code need to be rewritten, but we are making good progress. We hope to have it ready for beta testing by the start of next week. Once our beta testers have had some time with it, we will prepare another submission for Apple and keep you apprised of any developments. We will not announce a new iOS launch date until we are 100% sure there will be no further obstacles in the review process. Thank you for understanding.
March 07, 2026 Patch (edit) 2026-03-07 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/497222321068574934 itshappening.jpg 2.0.0 Hi folks, We have deployed the long-awaited DemonCrawl v2.0.0 on the Windows stable branch! This update includes 52 new items, 3 new masteries, a new stranger, a landmark, a special stage, 7 new stage mods, numerous balance changes, and many visual/system upgrades. Note: We are monitoring DemonCrawl's online features such as leaderboards and Arena Mode to ensure full compatibility with the update. These features may be intermittently unavailable over the next few days. Thank you for understanding. Mac and Linux builds will follow once we are confident that the game is free of any major bugs. Let's check out some of the highlights below (full patch notes are at the bottom): --- [[File:v2_Jock_and_Honey.png]] In terms of mechanics, the Jock is one of our favorite additions to DemonCrawl! He will wander around the board for free, pushing visible objects out of the way. This already makes him somewhat useful, but should you decide to pay him, he will launch himself in a direction (turning into a projectile) and destroy anything in his path - including hidden monsters! Just keep in mind that the Jock projectile won't wrap the screen or return to his stranger state, so you have to choose the right moment for his launch. The Honeypot is less flashy but still useful: it pulls in a number of objects, prioritizing those closest to it. Build up the charge counter and try to "dislodge" as many hidden monsters as possible. It's particularly strong when combined with some of the new items in v2. Speaking of which: 50+ New Items We won't spoil all the surprises, but there's a pretty good spread between support for old archetypes and items that aim to establish new ones. For example, if you find the "Wasp Nest," you can turn your Honeypots into something of a win condition: [[File:v2_Wasp.png]] Oh, there are also a couple of new Divine items... but it's more fun when you guys figure those out on your own. 👀 New Masteries Springtime is almost here, and it definitely inspired these new DemonCrawl masteries. [[File:v2_Gardener.png]] The Gardener mastery acquires copies of the new Hungry Seed item at the start of each stage. You can plant seeds in targeted cells and benefit from creating "chains" of Hungry Plants. Notably, we also added "solve x cells" as a possible reward type for the Hungry Plant - very useful for Gardener. [[File:v2_Beekeeper.png]] The Beekeeper creates targeted Honeypots and charges them faster. This mastery's playstyle is straightforward but fairly unique, which is a design I often strive for. [[File:v2_Monk.png]] If you're the type of player who wants to turn the game on its head (we're looking at you, Marksman enthusiasts), you might enjoy the new Monk mastery. The Monk is hard-locked to 1 slot, and it starts with the "Transcendence" item, converting all heart drops into souls. Monk can't pick up coins or diamonds, but all ground loot is transformed into damage mitigation. Also, the Tier 3 ability frees up your one and only item slot, in case you want to swap to something other than Transcendence. Yeah, it's a weird one. New Special Stage: The Bank [[File:v2_The_bank.png|600px]] This is an exciting one. The Bank lets you deposit up to 3 items (including omens) and accrue coins over time. Like the Smithy, the Bank remains open even after you leave. It permanently closes only when you decide to withdraw your interest. Endless Multiverse was updated to guarantee 1 Bank per dimension, and your items will persist between dimensions. So basically, this is the Dimensional Vault on steroids. New Visuals and Music Some of DemonCrawl's visuals haven't changed since launch. In fact, some of the backgrounds were created almost 15 years ago when I had no idea if the game would even resonate with anyone. So for v2, we wanted to take a stab at improving DemonCrawl's overall presentation: Stage background color count increased from ~10 to 16, re-exported from the original high-res graphics. This alone makes the game look a lot nicer. Re-worked approach to dithering. More consistent, more "pixel art-y," less noisy. Recreated every single Mastery sprite in a consistent style. Someone once joked that the game had about 6 different art styles for Masteries, and it stuck with me because it was so true. So I remade them from scratch; they follow the same color palette and style as most of the game's avatars now. Wrote an algorithm to harmonize stage cell graphics with the background; I used to do this by "feeling" but it caused inconsistencies in contrast levels, color counts, etc. The algorithm we're using now is a work-in-progress, but it's a step in the right direction. Plus new holographs! Who doesn't love new holographs? [[File:v2_holographs.gif|600px]]] Oh, you can also make your own stage skins now. Check the game's `docs` folder for more information. So you can make your own "Quest 6" if the wait has been absolutely killing you. 😂 There are also a few new music tracks. In particular, we wanted to swap out the music for Tribe and Bloodway because those tracks had unusual licenses and would often get flagged on places like YouTube and Twitch. As far as we know, the rest of DemonCrawl's soundtrack should be "stream-friendly." Here's the new Bloodway tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBr3a2OnunA "And More" We could go on for a while, discussing the finer points of the new Zombie stage mod, or how liberating it feels to increase DemonCrawl's Max Framerate to 500. But we'll let the patch notes speak for themselves. On a personal note: Thank you for all of your support over the years. I never imagined DemonCrawl would have appealed to so many people - it was and continues to be an incredible project to work on. It might interest you to know that v2.0.0 only represents about half of the DemonCrawl-related things I was working on in the last few years. I had to cut the other half from this release because, let's be honest, this patch is already enormous and I think it's important we "battle test" some of these changes before moving on to... more exciting things. But I've said too much already. Enjoy the patch notes. --- ===New Features=== *New mastery: [[image:Gardener.png|25px|link=Gardener]]&nbsp;[[Gardener|Gardener]] - "Grow an army of plants and let nature takes its course." *New mastery: [[image:Beekeeper.png|25px|link=Beekeeper]]&nbsp;[[Beekeeper|Beekeeper]] -"The monsters simply can't resist your honey." *New mastery: [[image:Monk.png|25px|link=Monk]]&nbsp;[[Monk|Monk]] - "Worldly possessions are overrated." *New stranger: Jock - "Get out of the way, bro!" *New landmark: Honeypot - Relocates the closest living objects to this cell, including hidden objects *New special stage: [[Special Stage#Bank|Bank]] - "Store your items and earn coins over time." *New stage mod: <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Guarded mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Guarded mod]]</span> - "At the start of the stage, spawn monsters in a random hidden column or row." *New stage mod: <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Scattered mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Scattered mod]]</span> - "Whenever a visible object spawns or is revealed, relocate it to a visible numbered cell." *New stage mod: <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Poverty mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Poverty mod]]</span> - "Coins are half as common, diamonds are worth 3 less, coin chests only have half as many coins, and the cost of each stranger is doubled." *New stage mod: <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Mystic mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Mystic mod]]</span> - "The stage has an additional Mystic Statue.

March 10, 2026 Patch (edit) 2026-03-10 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/505104250950385674 Fixes & Modding Features 2.1.0
  • Increased Modding Features
  • Minor Changes
  • Several Bug Fixes
 Hello, DemonCrawl v2.1.0 is now available on the Windows stable branch. This patch extends modding support to special stage backgrounds, music outside of stages, and language files. Additionally, you can now group your modded files into a "mod pack" - please check `steamapps/common/DemonCrawl/docs/stage_skin_mods.md` for comprehensive documentation. Note that DemonCrawl's modding capabilities are still in the experimental stage, so things like filepaths and naming conventions may change from version to version. Also, the runtime's audio systems are particularly delicate, so let us know if you encounter any sound-related problems in this version. In the future, we would like to extend modding support to most aspects of the game, but right now we're concentrating on stability - we set up a new bug tracker on Discord and have already deployed a few hotfixes for issues players have brought to our attention. Quick Q&A: - Mac and Linux builds when? Probably in 3-5 days. It takes a relatively long time to compile DemonCrawl on these platforms as compared to Windows, so we want to make sure any significant bugs are squashed first. - Mobile when? No firm ETA, but we are exploring alternative distribution platforms and monetization models in order to avoid the difficulties we faced when DemonCrawl was last on mobile. Android is likely to return before iOS. - Option of using original stage skins? Yes, this has been requested a few times and it is high on our to-do list - the "mod pack" feature in v2.1.0 brings us one step closer to making it possible. We will probably deliver the original skins in the form of a first-party mod. We're still working on the logistics for this. Full patch notes below. Thank you. --- ===Modding=== *Added namespaced mod-pack support (`mods/<pack_name>/...`) *Added custom background override support under `mods/bg` and `mods/<pack_name>/bg` *Added custom sound override support under `mods/sounds` and `mods/<pack_name>/sounds` for music and ambience files *Added custom language file support under `mods/strings` and `mods/<pack_name>/strings` for localization *Background override randomization now respects the `PREFER MODDED CONTENT` setting *Sound override randomization now respects the `PREFER MODDED CONTENT` setting *Stage skin mods can now override all supported `[holograph]` keys in `properties.ini` *Stage skin mods can now explicitly disable particles with `sprite=none`, `sprite=off`, or `sprite=disabled` *Updated modding documentation with supported file formats ===Quality of Life=== *Updated [[Landmark#Honeypot|Honeypot]] [[image:Honeypot.png|25px|link=Landmark]]&nbsp;[[Landmark|Landmark]] tooltip text for clearer behavior and charge explanation *Adjusted default audio mix (new defaults are 20/25/50/10) *Slightly lowered volume of "spend coins" sound effect *Slightly lowered volume of "gain max life" sound effect *Adjusted coin and heart colors for Minefield stage *Patch notes version selector now sorts semver-style version names more reliably ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed a <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Zombie mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Zombie mod]]</span> issue that could leave an untargetable enemy after boss movement *Fixed stage skin ambience precedence so custom variant ambience files are used before vanilla fallback *Fixed stage skin holograph layer precedence so custom holograph files are applied correctly *Fixed language loading fallback to safely return to English if a modded language file is removed *Fixed legacy stage skin particle key typos (`do_ran`, `angle_inc`) in vanilla skin files *Fixed an [[Arena]] Autosweeper issue where runs could softlock after auto-play stopped making moves *Fixed rare Arena mastery sync edge cases that could show invalid mastery icons/tooltips *Fixed Arena timer edge cases during transitions when Arena state was unavailable *Fixed <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Glacial mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]]&nbsp;[[Stage_Mods|Glacial mod]]</span> aura clearing not retriggering correctly after a [[Landmark#Mystic Statue|Mystic Statue]] stage reset *Refactored music stream lifecycle handling to improve reliability when rapidly transitioning between menus, stages, and shops *Refactored audio override path resolution and candidate selection for more consistent vanilla/modded playback behavior *Added extra audio recovery safeguards for runtime-level stream state issues *Adjusted music gain control to target active stream instances, reducing cases where stage or special-stage music could become silent after returning from Options *Improved pause/resume audio-state recovery for music and ambience during focus changes and fast menu transitions
March 23, 2021 Patch (edit) 2021-03-23 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/3014570262243980283 v1.70 Patch Notes 1.70 v1.70 Patch Notes Hypnotist mastery, new boss, 15 items! Hi folks, We just released a big update for DemonCrawl that includes a new mastery called [[Hypnotist Mastery|Hypnotist]], the fierce Scrapper [[Bosses|boss]], and 15 new items! (After a lengthy conversion process, DemonCrawl is now running on GameMaker v2.3. This is a requirement for getting our iOS port approved on the App Store - you can read more about the situation here. We plan to re-submit DemonCrawl to Apple's review team in the next couple days.) Let's take a look at some of the new content in v1.70! --- [[File:Patch_notes_1.70.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> When making a mistake as the Hypnotist, you won't receive damage right away - instead, you'll get a 3-turn status counter, giving you time to either mitigate the attack or brace for impact. Hypnotist also has the ability to lengthen status effect counters. This pairs well with the delayed damage mechanic, but also has great combo potential with status-based items like [[image:Candy.png|25px|link=Candy]]&nbsp;[[Candy|Candy]] or [[image:Truthsayer Quill.png|25px|link=Truthsayer Quill]]&nbsp;[[Truthsayer Quill|Truthsayer Quill]]. --- Now, help us give a warm welcome to the newest member of DemonCrawl's boss lineup: [[File:Patch_notes_1.70b.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> Scrapper will load up your inventory with "Junk," a new omen that itself produces more Junk. Things can quickly spiral out of control, putting you in danger of taking 1 damage every turn if you can't free up some space! --- Finally, we have added 15 new items to DemonCrawl, many of which were directly inspired by suggestions we received on Discord! Among these items are two complete sets of armor, Bubble and Vampiric Armor. Here's a closer look at the former: [[File:Patch_notes_1.70c.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> As you can imagine, Waterboy is pretty stoked about this... Full patch notes below. Enjoy! --- ===New Features=== *Upgraded GameMaker runtime to v2.3 *Upgraded tweening library to latest version *New mastery: [[image:Hypnotist.png|25px|link=Hypnotist Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Hypnotist Mastery|Hypnotist]] - "Use the power of hypnosis to delay monster damage and manipulate your status effects!" *New boss: Scrapper - "Drowns you in Junk!" *New magic item: [[image:Apple Bonsai.png|25px|link=Apple Bonsai]]&nbsp;[[Apple Bonsai|Apple Bonsai]] - "[50 Mana] After 40 turns, gain an Apple."

This update corrects a number of issues related to our recent GameMaker firmware upgrade. There are a couple other issues that will require further investigation - for example, we have received reports that v1.70 broke the Borderless Windowed mode on certain devices. We are looking into this and hope to have it fixed ASAP. --- ===Bug Fixes=== *Updated the excellent TweenGMS library to the latest version *Fixed a crash related to <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Vengeful mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Vengeful mod]]</span> *Fixed a crash related to restoring life while [[image:Last Supper.png|25px|link=Last Supper]]&nbsp;[[Last Supper|Last Supper]] is in effect *Fixed [[image:Hypnotist.png|25px|link=Hypnotist Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Hypnotist Mastery|Hypnotist]] I not being affected by items like [[image:Melted Clock.png|25px|link=Melted Clock]]&nbsp;[[Melted Clock|Melted Clock]] *Fixed a crash related to frozen bosses *Fixed a rare crash related to <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Lawless mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Lawless mod]]</span> and Cursed cells *Fixed a rare crash related to activating a [[Canker]] after the final stage *Speculative fix for rare crash related to Pillaging boss mod ====Hotfix #1 @ 12:48 AM EST -==== Fixed an issue with the <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Judging mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Judging mod]]</span>.
March 28, 2022 Patch (edit) 2022-03-28 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/3093416865951963306 v1.84 Patch Notes 1.84 Hi folks, A new update for DemonCrawl is now available! Kept you waiting long enough, huh? This patch introduces the '''Bookworm''' mastery, '''22 new items''', '''a new boss''', and many other goodies. [[File:Patch_Notes_1.84_1.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> As the Bookworm, you will generate a steady supply of reading materials by visiting special stages. You can stack book effects together for powerful synergies and study them to influence the items you'll find throughout your quest! [[File:Patch_Notes_1.84_2.png|800px]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> Introducing Hellwether - this new boss can summon monsters in his quadrant and has the ability to jump around the board whenever you make a mistake. Keep your distance! [[File:Patch_Notes_1.84_3.png]]<div style="clear:both; margin:0; padding:0;"></div> Among the new items in v1.84 are a collection of passives called "Medals." These simple yet tremendously useful items allow you to encounter certain strangers in every stage. There's a Medal for each basic stranger type, and you can obtain them as early as the first stage. They're very good for setting up specific strategies. --- Any other news? Yes! For the last several months, we have been working hard on not just v1.84, but TWO additional updates for DemonCrawl. We plan to release the next patch quite soon - it is our annual Easter update and it contains a bunch of new holiday content to explore. As for the third update? Well, it's too early to talk about that, but I can guarantee it's easily the most exciting. :-) As an aside, if we haven't posted news about DemonCrawl in a while, it's not that we've abandoned the game--on the contrary, we're knee-deep in development! Turns out, indie development is a bit of a double-edged thing. We can create content at our own pace, free of the financial and legal obligations that often hinder AAA titles. (Love it!) However, limited money and manpower means that allocating resources toward development directly takes away from our community engagement and marketing efforts. (Don't love it!) All of these things are important, and we try to strike a good balance. At the end of the day, though, substantial content updates are what gamers care about most. That's our top priority with DemonCrawl. Certainly, some developers focus more on marketing or social media presence, but it's not really our style. Most gamers already understand this stuff - you guys are super patient with us when it comes to communication turnaround times and we really appreciate it. You're an awesome bunch, truly. Nevertheless, the reason we're explaining this is because we have embarked on something bigger than the bi-weekly content updates you may have come to expect from DemonCrawl. TL;DR Don't be alarmed if there's a bit of radio silence from us in the near future. Okay, enough rambling - full patch notes are available below. Enjoy! --- ===New Features=== *New Patreon rewards: Treefolk *New mastery: [[image:Bookworm Mastery.png|25px|link=Bookworm Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Bookworm Mastery|Bookworm]] - "Collect and study books to influence the items you will encounter throughout your quest." *New boss: Hellwether - "Rallies nearby monsters, substantially increasing their damage output." *New boss mod: Twitchy - "The boss moves whenever you collect loot." *New magic item: [[image:Blood Compass.png|25px|link=Blood Compass]]&nbsp;[[Blood Compass|Blood Compass]] - "[60 Mana] Solve a cell and lose 1 life.

March 30, 2026 Patch (edit) 2026-03-30 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/509609299607028472 Say hello to Juggler and Puppeteer 2.2.0 Hello, DemonCrawl v2.2.0 is now available on the Windows stable branch. This patch introduces 2 new masteries, 3 new stage mods, 16 new items, an expanded Hero Trial effect pool, and numerous changes based on player feedback. We have also prepped the game for our upcoming Easter event, which runs between April 1st and April 15th - stay tuned for more information on that. Mac and Linux builds expected to follow within 72 hours. --- ====New Masteries==== [[File:v2_2_Juggler.png]] The core design of this mastery was submitted to us by player LarnoWheels on our Discord server. Here's how they described it: "I'm a sucker for things that interact with chance-based effects (i play a lotta roguelikes hehe) so i had an idea to mix together two stats that are chance-based into the same mastery. It's probably not a perfectly balanced concept but i like the idea of a Juggler/Jester-based class. Juggler is a mastery focused around scaling evasion and/or powerchording chances to increase their survivability and offensiveness." With 40 masteries in DemonCrawl, we are always looking for ideas that occupy new design space - and Juggler definitely checks that box. Managing two diametrically-opposed stats is an interesting playstyle and a welcome addition to the game. Additional Juggler-related art was submitted by player Evermore. Thank you both! [[File:v2_2_Puppeteer.png]] We wanted to implement the Puppeteer mastery all the way back in v1.63, when Doll items were first introduced. But it needed more time to cook. Almost six years later, we're finally happy with its direction: Puppeteer accumulates Doll items as you play stages. You can summon your Dolls as temporary strong familiars for a price. You can activate any other mastery ability if you have the related Doll for it. As such, Puppeteer is a sort of "wildcard mastery" that should perform well in the hands of those who have a strong knowledgebase of masteries in general. --- ====16 New Items==== After implementing Juggler, we realized that Evasion had surprisingly little support in the item pool. So we're addressing that with new additions like the Decoy Log: [[File:v2_2_Decoy_Log.png]] Dedicated Evasion builds can lean into the "double-dip" effect on their evasion, while other builds won't mind picking up a Decoy Log simply for its 1-in-4 chance to dodge any attack. We also added an expensive new legendary item for "infinite enthusiasts" (if you know you know): [[File:v2_2_Resonating_Rune.png]] This can undoubtedly enable some absurd comps--possibly too absurd--but we're excited to see what creative uses you can find for it. Full patch notes are below. --- ===New Features=== *New Easter rewards: 10 avatars + 2 inventories *Easter avatars from 2023 moved to Easter Prizeboxes *New mastery: [[image:Juggler.png|25px|link=Juggler]]&nbsp;[[Juggler|Juggler]] - Strike and dodge in equal measure (suggested by LarnoWheels) *New mastery: [[image:Puppeteer.png|25px|link=Puppeteer]]&nbsp;[[Puppeteer|Puppeteer]] - Sculpt dolls and bring them to life *New legendary item: [[image:Resounding Rune.png|25px|link=Resounding Rune]]&nbsp;[[Resounding Rune|Resounding Rune]] - "Your other legendary and passive items trigger an additional time." *New legendary item: [[image:Juggler's Memento.png|25px|link=Juggler's Memento]]&nbsp;[[Juggler's Memento|Juggler's Memento]] - "Start the next dimension with Juggling Balls for every 10% powerchording and evasion you have." *New legendary item: [[image:Puppeteer's Memento.png|25px|link=Puppeteer's Memento]]&nbsp;[[Puppeteer's Memento|Puppeteer's Memento]] - "Start the next dimension with mastery charges equal to your number of Doll items." *New consumable item: [[image:Whiskey.png|25px|link=Whiskey]]&nbsp;[[Whiskey|Whiskey]] - "Gain 3 souls and lose 10% pathfinding."

May 30, 2023 Patch (edit) 2023-05-30 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1141220/view/3290465838276349758 v1.95 Patch Notes 1.95
  • 3 New Items
  • Balance Changes
 Hi folks, We just released a new version of DemonCrawl! v1.95 focuses on balance changes and stability. Perhaps the most significant change is a buff to all Mastery Dolls. With a pricetag of 30 coins, we found that most Dolls were not paying off as quickly as we would have liked. Now, these items will activate at the start of every stage, and their effects scale based on your current number of mastery charges as opposed to your max charge count. This should create some interesting opportunities where you have to decide between keeping your charges for empowered Doll effects, or spending them on a clutch ultimate ability. Additionally, v1.95 allows us to start and end holiday events without needing to push a client update. This change was motivated by [https://i.ibb.co/bJNqgtR/image.png a recent hardware failure] that caused the [[Easter Event|Easter]] event to last a lot longer than intended. Here is the new schedule for DemonCrawl holidays going forward: *[[Easter Event|Easter]]: In real life, this holiday can take place anywhere between March to May, depending on the year. The in-game event will take place on either the first two or last two weeks of the month of Easter. *[[Summer Event|Summer]]: July 1st - July 14th *[[Halloween Event|Halloween]]: October 15th - October 31st *[[Birthday Event|Birthday]]: November 1st - November 7th *[[Christmas Event|Chistmas]]: December 15th - December 31st Finally, we rewrote the borderless windowed implemention using native GameMaker functions, which should fix an issue with the taskbar appearing in front of the game on some operating systems. Full patch notes are below. Mac and Linux builds are expected to follow in 24 hours. Enjoy! --- ===New Features=== *New passive item: [[image:Varnish.png|25px|link=Varnish]]&nbsp;[[Varnish|Varnish]] - "Favor all armor items.

  • 5 new items
  • 3 new daily quests
  • Performance improvements
  • New secret stage
  • Balance changes
 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 [[image:Friendly Mimic.png|25px|link=Friendly Mimic]]&nbsp;[[Friendly Mimic|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: [[image:Friendly Mimic.png|25px|link=Friendly Mimic]]&nbsp;[[Friendly Mimic|Friendly Mimic]] - "Your chests are strong familiars. You can still open them." *New passive item: [[image:Fairy Queen.png|25px|link=Fairy Queen]]&nbsp;[[Fairy Queen|Fairy Queen]] - "When you enter a stage, reduce the minimum stage power to 1." *New passive item: [[image:War Hawk.png|25px|link=War Hawk]]&nbsp;[[War Hawk|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: [[image:Loupe.png|25px|link=Loupe]]&nbsp;[[Loupe|Loupe]] - "Diamonds are worth 1 more coin." *New consumable item: [[image:Small Star.png|25px|link=Small Star]]&nbsp;[[Small Star|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 *[[image:Drill.png|25px|link=Drill]]&nbsp;[[Drill|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." *[[image:Pickaxe.png|25px|link=Pickaxe]]&nbsp;[[Pickaxe|Pickaxe]] price increased from 14 to 15 ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed crash related to [[image:Ectoplasm.png|25px|link=Ectoplasm]]&nbsp;[[Ectoplasm|Ectoplasm]] *Fixed <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Shiny mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Shiny mod]]</span> currency drops *Mobile: fixed a couple missing video settings

  • You can no longer be on drugs in the credits sequence
 A hotfix for reported bugs Today we are releasing a hotfix to address a number of bugs we've received from player reports. ===New Features=== *Added support for Steam screenshots (F12 by default) *Increased the max window scale from 9 to 16 to support 4k screens and beyond ===Resolved Bugs=== *Fixed an issue with legendary items not unlocking properly *Fixed Magnifying Glass effect persisting even after the item was lost *Fixed a crash that occurred when deleting your only remaining save file *Fixed a softlock that occurred when misclicking a monster that the tutorial expected you to flag *Fixed a crash in the tutorial that occurred when you tried to right-click a coin *Fixed a crash related to using Occultic Pendant when strangers couldn't spawn *Fixed a crash when using Ouroboros *Fixed an issue with Cattle Prod that created incorrect cell values *Speculative fix for Dowsing Rod crash *Fixed KNIGHT II unlock requirements *Corrected a few typos in the achievements *You can no longer be on drugs in the credits sequence ===Known Issues=== We are still investigating the following bug reports: *Resuming a quest mid-stage may crash the game under specific circumstances *Frozen cells can sometimes lead to negative monster counts, however the stage should still be completable (this is not a softlock as far as we know) *Sometimes resuming a quest after a crash will set you back 1 stage If you have encountered any such issues, please file a bug report that includes your error message as well as a brief description of what you were doing at the time of crash. (Using an item, leaving a stage, etc.) ===What's next?=== Once the client is more or less crash-free, we will be turning our attention to a few hotly requested features, including UI improvements (e.g. a button for leaving mid stage) and configurable keybinds. We're glad you're enjoying DemonCrawl and hope you will continue to provide such excellent feedback for us! :)
November 07, 2019 Patch (edit) 2019-11-07 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1592513652820094991 v1.02 Patch Notes 1.02 Small hotfix We're releasing a small patch today to address a few crashes. ===Resolved Bugs=== *Fixed a crash that occurred if you tried to resume a quest from the credits sequence *Fixed a crash that occurred when a stat balloon tried to spawn on a null UI element *Speculative fix for preserving stage progress between crashes ===Known Issues=== We still need to tackle some odd behavior with frozen cells, but other than that, we think DemonCrawl is in a fairly stable spot right now! Thank you so much for your patience as we work on any remaining issues. In the next few days, we'd like to get started on implementing QOL features and balance changes. More to come soon!
November 08, 2019 Patch (edit) 2019-11-08 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1592513652824178025 v1.03 Patch Notes 1.03 In which we start tweaking the numbers ===New Features=== *Introduced a new keyword called "solve." An item that solves a cell will correctly flag OR unflag it. Developer notes: previously, there were items that would "reveal a hidden cell." Some players were wondering why this effect could hit cells you've already flagged. The reason is this: if such items avoided flagged cells, it would incentivize players to flag every cell except for the few they wished to target. We believe the wording of the "solve" mechanic circumvents this problem. Items affected by this change include: Compass, Parasol, Boomerang, Minion. ===Balance Changes=== *Reduced the overall monster density in Quest 1 from 0.155 to 0.148 *Reduced the overall monster density in Quest 2 from 0.160 to 0.158 *Greedy Pig rework: "Lose a random amount of coins at the end of each stage." -> "Lose up to half your coins at the end of each stage." *Broken Rib rework: "Instead, your defense is added to damage." -> "Your defense is capped to the minimum stage power." *Pagan stage mod rework: "At the start of the stage, lose a random number of items." -> "At the start of the stage, lose up to 10 random items." *Aching, Bleeding, and Toxic stage mods can now be found in Normal difficulty *Melting and Liberated stage mods are now restricted to Hard difficulty *The first two chests opened will never contain an omen (up from 1) *After clicking on a toxic cell, the toxic aura is removed Developer notes: we received a number of reports from players who were struggling with the first quest, so we have decided to make it (and the second quest) a bit easier. When making such changes, we want to be careful not to overshoot our goal; if Quest 1 was too easy, veteran players would not find it engaging. This is important because there are actually reasons for veterans to return to Quest 1 later in the game. For now, we will continue to monitor player feedback and make small adjustments as necessary. We also hear you loud and clear with regard to omen design: there are some omens that offer little-to-no counterplay. Greedy Pig and Broken Rib were two such omens that would often punish you for playing correctly. We have altered their designs so that they don't completely cripple gold and defense builds. Let us know what you think. You may have noticed that Straitjacket is unchanged. Hear us out on this: we believe it is important to have one omen in the item pool that is significantly more dangerous than the rest. It helps maintain suspense when opening chests, whereas most other (arguably better designed) omens can be subverted to a build's advantage. Straitjacket is unique in that it's pretty much always bad. It's the ultimate low roll. It's also worth mentioning that, as we expand the item pool, Straitjacket will become increasingly rare; omen drop rates are not weighted in any way. And we would like to start adding more items to the pool relatively soon. :) ===Resolved Bugs=== *Fixed a crash that occurred when a cell-based status effect activated on the same turn as Smog *Fixed a crash that occurred when Dreamcatcher had no space to spawn loot *Fixed certain items not activating through Gluttony *Fixed a crash related to Duster *Fixed a crash that occurred when picking up rare loot that was previously contained in a bubble *Fixed a bug where KNIGHT II wouldn't give you defense if you were wearing a helmet (don't ask) ===Known Issues=== *We received a report that you can resume Q5 on Hard after finishing it, but we're told the issue resolves itself if you restart the client - so far we haven't been able to reproduce this *Those dang ol' Frozen cells Enjoy! ==v1.04 Patch Notes== Two patches in one day?! Just a few quick fixes :-) ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed inability to craft items with 1 open heirloom slot *Fixed Sleeping Powder effect lingering for the entire run *Sawblades can no longer destroy immutable objects (stairwells, portals)
November 09, 2019 Patch (edit) 2019-11-09 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/1592513652827068526 v1.05 Patch Notes 1.05 This is a small update to address a Sawblade-related crash we introduced with the last version. ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed crash when a Sawblade collided with monsters or familiars. *Fixed an issue with Magic Dark Ink not removing the correct number of omens. We recognize that Frozen cells are one of the biggest causes of frustration right now, so we're going to spend the day debugging its relationship to the monster counter. This will be a fairly time-consuming process, so we thank you for your patience - there are all kinds of "ifs" and "gotchas" in the Frozen cell logic, so if we're not careful we could create even more bugs with the mechanic. As always, thank you for your excellent feedback!

  • Added 10 token award on every 10th level up
 In which we update Frozen cells and get more generous with Tokens Today's patch is the biggest one we've introduced since launch! There is a lot to unpack here, so we're happy to answer any questions you might have in the comments section below. TL;DR We are awarding every player with Tokens to compensate them for the new level-up feature described below. If you find yourself with a bunch of extra Tokens and you don't know where they came from... well, now you do!

" -> "Whenever you leave an item shop ..." *Timelord Chronos now deals damage instead of direct life loss & during this boss you can collect loot to reset the timer to 0 *Nerfed the music volume of Elysium a bit ===Bug Fixes=== *Monsters trapped within Frozen cells will now decrement the monster counter, meaning you can rely on the counter to hit 0 when the stage is complete *Fixed a crash when using Blowpipe on a shiny monster *Fixed a crash that occurred when misflagging a cell on a stage that had both Judging and Flawless mods *Fixed a few ways that immutable objects could get destroyed *Fixed objects losing their immutable property between game loads *You can now reclaim Favor points from legendary items that became locked due to prestiging *Blowing up a hidden monster will now trigger "on monster kill" effects *Fixed xray effect preservation when you reload a quest (i.e. Magnifying Glass) *Fixed Endless Multiverse loop not saving properly between loads *Speculative fix for a crash related to stage destruction before particle automanager cleanup *Fixed a database issue that prevented players with IPv6 addresses from submitting scores to the leaderboards Developer notes: ''We will continue to monitor your feedback about Frozen cells to determine if they can still lead to a softlock under the new logic. If you're unsure whether your board is actually stuck, please submit a bug report along with a screenshot and we will take a look. Thanks!'' We hope you enjoy the new patch! --- Stealth hotfix #1 @ 12:30 EST: Fixed a crash in the gameplay settings due to an inventory keybind variable we forgot to instantiate. Stealth hotfix #2 @ 2:30 EST: Fixed Dry stage mod not respecting forced loot drops, which could have resulted in crashes with certain items.

  • Minor Changes
 Hi folks, We just released a new update for DemonCrawl! v1.90 is a stability patch that introduces a new system for catching errors, which should help with preventing crashes in the face of non-critical problems. We also added a cool new avatar designed by community member rotten_toto: [[File:Patch_Notes_1.90.png]] Don't forget that you can submit your own artwork in our Discord server - we love seeing what you guys come up with! Finally, we are working to resolve ongoing issues with DemonCrawl on Android and iOS. Google and Apple have updated their deployment pipelines in recent months, which have made it difficult for us to publish new mobile versions of the game. To our mobile players: we are very sorry for the inconvenience and hope to resolve the situation sooner rather than later. Full patch notes are below. Mac and Linux builds will follow within 24 hours. --- ===New Features=== *New community avatar: TOTO DRAGON by rotten_toto ===Quality of Life=== *Implemented foundation of new error-catching system which should help the game continue when faced with non-critical errors instead of outright crashing *Notably, the above feature now applies to "item use" effects (by far the most common source of crashes) ===Bug Fixes=== *Fixed Barrel explosions *Fixed [[image:Demolitionist Mastery.png|25px|link=Demolitionist Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Demolitionist Mastery|Demolitionist II]] still applying its old effect *Updated "error while loading profile" message for clarity *Fixed incorrect sprite shown on [[image:Boom Bow.png|25px|link=Boom Bow]]&nbsp;[[Boom Bow|Boom Bow]] toast *Fixed pluralization on [[image:Secret Decoder.png|25px|link=Secret Decoder]]&nbsp;[[Secret Decoder|Secret Decoder]] sign messages *Fixed [[image:Spooky Key.png|25px|link=Spooky Key]]&nbsp;[[Spooky Key|Spooky Key]] incorrectly activating when received via item transformation, i.e. from opening a [[image:Present.png|25px|link=Present]]&nbsp;[[Present|Present]] *Speculative fix for a crash related to centering the camera when the cell object no longer exists *Speculative fix for rare crash related to Canker Harbingers and [[image:Divine Doomcall.png|25px|link=Divine Doomcall]]&nbsp;[[Divine Doomcall|Divine Doomcall]]

September 10, 2020 Patch (edit) 2020-09-10 https://steamcommunity.com/games/1141220/announcements/detail/2880571131802890452 v1.59 - More Survivor Changes & Bug Fixes! 1.59 v1.59 - More Survivor Changes & Bug Fixes! Hi folks, We just deployed a new stability patch for DemonCrawl! This update includes a new consumable item, additional balance changes for Survivor, and over 30 bug fixes. (Some much-needed housekeeping!) [[File:Patch_notes_1.59a.png]] Last week, we implemented significant changes to 6 masteries, most of which were well received. However, some players expressed dissatisfaction with the Survivor updates - we want to take a moment to address this and explain our solution in v1.59. The [[image:Survivor Mastery.png|25px|link=Survivor Mastery]]&nbsp;[[Survivor Mastery|Survivor Mastery]] has always been about manipulating a state of injury to your advantage. We like that it creates interesting situations where you have to decide between healing to survive an imminent blow, or remaining in harm's way so that you can continue to reap the mastery's benefits. Prior to v1.58, Survivor II provided a way to scale your build through Soul drops. While this fit the Survivor's M.O., it was a bit too unreliable - this is a class that most players unlock early on, so we think it should offer a decent amount of predictability. It and Guardian (formerly Knight) were originally conceived as "starter masteries" with somewhat boring but reliable designs. Additionally, we were not a fan of intentionally taking damage in the first stage to activate Survivor II as early as possible, which was often the ideal strategy. It wasn't too powerful or anything, but it felt like an inconvenient and unintuitive mechanic. Plus, if you forgot to do it, your run was immediately at a disadvantage. So, we decided to try scaling Survivor with the "Untouchable" award instead. This created a nice parallel with the Guardian mastery, but many players were quick to point out that rewarding Survivors for not taking damage was at odds with its core identity. After some thought, we have come to agree. Here's our new solution: [[File:Patch_notes_1.59b.png]] In v1.59, the Survivor is once again rewarded for his injuries, but in a more reliable fashion. We also applied a quality-of-life "nerf" to Survivor I so that it provides max life instead of life - putting you in a state of injury from the start. Survivor III is unchanged, meaning you still have the opportunity to restore all of your lives every few stages. Let us know what you think, and we hope you enjoy the patch! Full patch notes are below. P.S. Due to relatively long compilation times for Mac and Linux, we have decided to release updates for Windows first, with the other platforms to follow in 3-4 hours. This way we can prepare and deploy any crucial hotfixes without having to re-compile for all 3 systems. Expect to see this approach for all updates going forward. --- ===New Features=== *New consumable item: [[image:Pacifier.png|25px|link=Pacifier]]&nbsp;[[Pacifier|Pacifier]] - "Replace the stage mods on the selected stage with less difficult stage mods." ===Quality of Life=== *You may now begin a stage by clicking twice on the small thumbnail in stage select *Replaced Customize screen pagination with a scrollbar *Reduced lag in the Customize screen when switching modes *The "item purchased" toast now states the name of the obtained item *Updated the description of [[Maul]] for clarity *Tweaked the description of several Bow items to improve their compatibility with autocasting *Added current number of total status effects in the tooltip for the help menu category *Made adjustments to the following sprites: [[Electromancy]], [[Venomancy]], [[Overgrowth]], [[Barrels of Fun]] *Desktop only: you may now close the escape menu by pressing escape again ===Balance Changes=== *[[Survivor]] I rework: "Begin the quest with 1 extra max life." *Survivor II rework: "At the end of each stage, gain 1 max life if you are injured." *Increased the droprate of Mythic [[Emblems]] by about 25% *Reduced the density of Sanctified cells in <span style="white-space: nowrap;">[[image:Valhallan mod.png|30px|link=Stage_Mods]][[Stage_Mods|Valhallan mod]]</span> stages from 8% to 5% *[[Special_Stage#Starpond|Starponds]] are now a bit more likely to offer items for coins instead of tokens *Starpond coin price is no longer capped at 999 *Increased the price of [[Purify]] from 40 to 50 ===Bug Fixes=== *Status effects are now saved to disk using the item name, which should make them more resilient to game updates *Fixed a crash related to Classic Mode and the Metagate skin *Fixed Mythic Emblem stage mod placement *[[Transmogrify]] now randomizes itself *Transmogrify now uses the item transformation script rather than removing/adding items *Fixed an issue that caused the completion of a classic stage to reset your current quest stage *Fixed crafting tooltips incorrectly showing up next to some sigil materials *Fixed a monster count issue related to blowing up flagged monsters *Fixed Contagion bypassing effects that reduce your omen chances to 0 *Fixed explosive effects bypassing object immutability if the cell had an aura at the time of explosion *Fixed a rare issue with the autosolver related to its understanding of the monster count *Fixed a couple minor issues with the stage select UI *Fixed a crash related to using Bubble Rod on a stage with the Spellbinder boss *Fixed a crash related to activating Bubbler III without any orbs *Fixed Disturbing stage mod influencing the direction of some projectiles *Fixed Voucher not providing an item if used with a full inventory *Fixed an issue that could cause the Disturbing mod toast to show an incorrect sprite *Fixed Quest for Necrosis not respecting Heavy Burden's reduction to total inventory size *Fixed the log entry for "coins spent" not respecting Blinding stage mod *Fixed Fraudulent stage mod bypassing Immutable stage mod *Fixed a few issues related to Edict of the Old Gods not buffing Tablets *Fixed a rare crash related to electric Dark Chests *Fixed a crash related to Smog activating on the first turn of a stage *Fixed resolution scale not saving to disk when using alt+enter fullscreen toggle *Fixed Minion Wishpool not receiving buff from Electric aura *Holograph tooltips can no longer produce a term definition panel *Patreon leaderboards no longer observe the default version filter *The monster density cap will do a better job of making sure there's enough space for your first move *Added validation for external strings to prevent possible crashes *Possible workaround for a rare crash related to a boss destroying a living object on movement *Speculative fix for a rare crash related to burning a boss *Speculative fix for a rare crash related to Fraudulent stage mod Hotfix #1 @ 7:12 PM EST - *Fixed a crash related to popping strangers in bubbles *Fixed another issue related to explosions and monster count *Fixed a visual glitch related to familiars trying to kill unkillable monsters
