Glad I held on to those 6000 Photos...

Why do Abyss Chests only give 36 abyss coins, 13 fragments and 65 karma when broken now? This is a MASSIVE reduction from the previous 77 abyss coins, 351 fragments and 1911 karma, and isn't reflected in the UI which still has their old values. Is this a bug?

Demon Chests also have their rewards significantly reduced from 324 fragments, 1764 karma to 54 fragments, 294 karma, though they still retain their previous 7 abyss coins. This one has the change reflected in the new UI, so it's likely intended, but this is still a significant nerf that isn't documented in the patch notes.

One more issue, the game can now sometimes crash when doing many upgrades on trinkets, in particular when upgrading rings.

Not so glad I held onto my chests... especially since I still have a lot of rings and Rank 4 gear that I haven't upgraded yet...

This is an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out. I will fix it tomorrow. Haven't eaten yet today and I want to make a chicken curry now.

(don't break them until I release the fix tomorrow)

Thank you for the lightning-fast response! Hope you enjoy a delicious chicken curry!

My memory might be blurry but is it intended that the Shotgun upgrade pool includes Crit Chance? I thought only Pistol can get that bonus.

With al these new room layouts, maybe it is time for new Theme?

Obviously, that would require making a lot of new layouts from scratch, making their variants and many new models, textures and other assets.

Some Theme ideas:
- SCHOOL: You will learn more about madness than you ever wanted to know.
(Familiar environment in horrific context is always nice.)
- CASTLE: Classic horror environment. Oozes sinister heaviness, sturdiness and stone. Mixes large spaces like dinner halls or throne rooms with cramped corridors of prison cells.
(Most different from other themes visually.)
- MALL: Endless capitalism morphs into endless horror. Buy blood, pay with your very own soul.
(I imagine for this one all layouts would be two-floor, some of them with corridor in middle, others being recognizable as inside of "shops". A lot of unsettling mannequins, please.)

This was another addition but I forgot to mention it in the patch notes. Thanks, I've added it in now! Let me know what you think of it!

Thanks Blue! Many Devs should strive to be like you.

[Big Chungus Actual]

Great update! Thanks Blue! Do you have paypal or anywhere else to donate to the cause?

Wait, what the hell is a Ruby Chest? First time playing after the update, I found what looked like a Demon Chest, opened it, and instead of getting a Demon Chest I picked up what the game said was a Ruby Chest and obtained 100 rubies instead.

This was added back in the 2019 winter community update. Only appears on Unearthly and Abyss.

Oh, right, I hadn't played Unearthly in a long time (forgot that it was technically the level I was up to since it's easier to farm Demon Chests on Beast) and I'm pretty sure I'd never seen one before now.

Just a question, did you happen to change the way the camera works? It's been a minute since I last played, but for some reason the camera feels weird. Like there's slightly more latency? Maybe I'm imagining it but it feels weird and I can't put my finger on it.

I'm seconding this. I immediately noticed this as soon as I hopped into a game. It almost feels like something with the game's default FOV has been tweaked. Even though I have the same FOV that I always use, it feels very different. It's very hard to put my finger on what's different, but it honestly feels like I'm drunk or getting motion sickness while playing. When I get a chance, I'm going to compare to footage that I have prior to this update.

Truth be told, it's impossible to tell. It's more of a psychological boost rather than something I consciously notice. I think Pistol has a different sound for Critical Hits? With the Shotgun I don't even know if/when I do critical damage. Also when I see +1% Crit Chance... it doesn't feel very significant.

By the way, this is completely off-topic but I have to ask. What happens when you press the "reset" button on the profile selection? I wanted to delete some temp profiles I have but - considering Unloved doesn't have a confirmation window - I'm afraid I'm gonna accidentally delete my main character.
