Update v12.23 (May 1) - New Upgrades, Supreme Rune Changes, and Bug Fixes

Apr 30

New Content:

15 New Supreme Runes available after passing wave 20k.
New Tournament menu upgrades to skip enemy HP increases after a completed wave and to increase the Supreme Shadow spawn chance.
New Weekly Ticket menu upgrades to gain free hero levels after a completed wave and to increase the chance for 2x Supreme Runes drop from the Supreme Shadow boss.

General Changes:

Changed the color of the Ancient Shadow boss to better match the color of runes that he rewards.
Changed the name of "Mini Shadow" to "Supreme Shadow" to better match his Supreme Runes reward.
Capped Progressive Exp Supreme Runes at level 999. New powerful late game rank exp sources will be introduced in a later update.
Added more Tournament Tiers after wave 30k, spaced out every 5k waves.

Supreme Boss/Runes/Shards Changes:

The Supreme Shards resource was completely removed. This was a useless and redundant middleman resource since it could only be used on one item.
Any remaining Supreme Shards you had were automatically converted to the max affordable Supreme Runes.
The Supreme Shadow boss now drops Supreme Runes upon death, just like the Ancient Shadow drops normal runes. It is more consistent and streamlined this way.
The spawn rate of Supreme Shadows was significantly reduced, since every single kill now gives you a Supreme Rune (whereas it previously took dozens of kills to get one rune).
The Technology upgrade that previously increased Supreme Shards drop was changed to increase the Supreme Boss spawn chance.
For those of you who just reached wave 10k and unlocked Supreme Runes, you will get a significant bonus spawn rate on your first 100 Supreme Shadows to make up for the fact that your first few Supreme Runes were much cheaper back when the Shards resource was used.
Automation workshops related to the Supreme Shadow were rebalanced (higher costs and cooldowns, and lower max levels) to maintain balance with all these other changes. If you were previously above the new max levels, you will be automatically set back to the new max. You may think this is unfair and you wasted time/resources, but actually it balances out because everyone else now has a much higher cost and upgrade time to deal with, whereas you are already done with the cheaper/shorter times (even if you went over the new max).
In conclusion, this is a net positive change for everyone. The new formula should allow you to earn Supreme Runes nearly twice as fast as you previously did with the Shards resource.

QoL Improvements:

Boss rush no longer automatically turns off when you fail a wave.
Removed notification spam from extra boss spawns. This notification will now appear over the boss on the map when he spawns.
Massive performance improvements.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed memory leak causing enemies to become unkillable or stop spawning.
Various other minor bug fixes and UI corrections.

Update v12.1 (April 19) - Future Proofing and Bug Fixes

Apr 19

Apologies for the chaos around the past couple patches. There were some major changes around save data formats, data type changes, anti-cheat detectors, and many more complex things behind the scenes. A number of unexpected errors resulted from these complicated changes, which were causing loading issues, rollbacks of data, false-positive ban warnings, and more. Thankfully, I believe I've finally ironed out the last of the remaining bugs, and everything should be smooth and back to normal from now on. Thank you for your patience through this little rough patch!

Backend:

Changed several data types in the game to support numbers larger than e308, meaning there is now tons of room for new multiplicative bonuses, bigger damage and gold numbers, and much higher waves :). The potential progress for this game is now practically infinite!

Bug Fixes:

Fixed all bugs related to cloud saving/loading.
Fixed error preventing some Android users from loading the game.
Fixed false-positive "injection" ban warning on Steam, preventing some new players from entering the game.
Fixed memory leak bug causing the enemies to become unkillable or stop spawning while playing with 120 FPS or high quality settings.
Fixed bug where some pop-up windows would grow larger and larger if closed and opened quickly.
Unlocking new automation function/workshop slots now correctly adds to your gems spent challenges.
Various other minor bug fixes and UI corrections.

Fixed false-positive "injection" ban warning on Steam, preventing some new players from entering the game.
Fixed some issues causing some player's data to get rolled back a few days.
Unlocking new automation function/workshop slots now correctly adds to your gems spent challenges.
If a server save fails due to a "time out", it will automatically retry again right away. Hopefully this solves the issue with cloud saves on slower networks.

Patch v12.0 (April 17) - Critical Bug Fix

Apr 17

Fixed the bug causing many accounts to trigger false-positive injection ban warnings, which also prevented new players from even starting the game. You don't have to worry if this triggered for you - your account wasn't actually flagged as a cheater or banned. It was a totally invalid trigger that you can ignore.

I am really sorry about this inconvenient bug! It had to do with the new data type conversions that the last update introduced. Everything should be back to normal now.

Please reach out to my on Discord if you are still experiencing issues after installing this update.

Patch v11.71 (April 5)

Apr 4

Changes:

The auto-prestige function will only work when you’re at a minimum of 20% of your highest wave (not just the map-specific highest wave). This will ensure you're not auto-prestiging at inefficient times on maps where you have a low wave, or if you leak enemies on a low wave for some reason.
Equipping a new/different spell now ends the automation idle timer.
Changed automation workshop "cancel" buttons to "pause".

QoL Improvements:

Click a function or workshop upgrade to show the max level and other useful information.
If you log out/in to switch accounts via the settings menu, you'll be able to skip the tutorial instead of being forced to play through it again.
Improved loading time of the leaderboards.
Increased security around the leaderboards to keep cheaters off of it.
TONS of improved anti-cheat and auto-ban logic. Good luck cheaters ;).

Bug Fixes:

Fixed visual bug where the auto-prestige function would cause negative waves passed to show in the battery saver screen.
Fixed bug where canceling a workshop upgrade immediately after purchasing it would require you to purchase it again, rather than let you continue it for free.
Fixed a rounding issue that caused workshop upgrade times to differ between steam and mobile.
Various other minor bug fixes.

Mar 30

New Content:

Automation!
This new mechanic unlocks at wave 2,000 and will make your game experience much more "idle". It allows you to automate various functions in the game, such as leveling heroes, prestiging, claiming wave perks, spawning bosses, and much more!
Added two expensive end-game upgrades for Rank Exp (%) and Energy Income in the Prestige upgrade menu for a new Prestige resource sink.

QoL Improvements:

Added a reminder to the Prestige confirmation box if an Ultimus boss is available to spawn.
Improved the battery saver screen with tons of extra data.
Removed the "enemy shields changed" notification spam until you are within the top 5% of your highest wave on the current map.
You can now close the video ad (active play) menu by clicking outside of it, like all other menus.
Tons of new anti-cheat and auto-ban logic.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a rare situation where waves stop spawning / enemies become unkillable.
Various other minor bug and UI fixes.

Patch v11.61 (February 27)

Feb 27

Changes:

Backend and data changes to support the big upcoming "Automation" update (nothing noticeable on your end, though).

QoL Improvements:

Added additional cloud save information in the settings menu to help you identify when the last server sync occurred, and prevent you from losing data when switching devices.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed bug where a player's favorite hero and map stats were not tracking correctly in the public leaderboards data (you can view this data by clicking on a player's name in the leaderboards). These stats should now increase correctly for everyone, but the fix was not retroactive, so the stats will only be correct from now moving forwards.
Fixed rare bug that would sometimes send players into negative gold when leveling up heroes.
Fixed various other minor bugs and data inconsistencies.
