Build b057 July 24, 2017

BALANCE

• Health curve slightly increased for level 5+ monsters

BUGS

b060 / July 31, 2017

BALANCE

• Possible fix for bug in Adventure Mode where dying in an Item Dream would duplicate the item you entered

CONTENT/GAMEPLAY

• New STAFF MASTERIES and FIST MASTERIES added to the game! (Two of each)
  
• If you have a level 12 (or higher) character in a save slot, you can now select NEW GAME+ mode for that save slot. By doing this, your character data will be saved and continued in a brand-new dungeon with much harder monsters and champions.

• Fixed bug where controller navigation of the secondary skill hotbar would not work properly
  
• Avenger champions will no longer enrage if a player-faction pet dies
  
• Fixed major bug where items upgraded in Item Dreams would not accurately save/load their item value. This meant loading a game and entering an already-upgraded item would result in an easier-than-intended Item Dream
  
• Fixed bug where, in New Game+, your summoned pets would inherit NG+ monster bonuses
  
• Fixed bug in New Game+ where some boss HP was not scaling properly

• Fixed bug with the "Volcano" map type where far fewer monsters would spawn than intended. This could also cause errors when trying to generate the item world, if there were no monsters on the final floor...

• Most likely fixed crash with Erin the rumor giver

• Fixed bug where starting the game while alt-tabbed would cause the music to be at normal volume, even with "Audio Off When Minimized" enabled

ENGINE

• Detonate Vines will actually destroy the vine(s) now
