Whew. Remind me not to decide to do an all UI and bug fix build again, it’s pretty tiring! Links to the right have been updated!
Here’s the full change log for interested parties:
Updates, 6/24/2017
Dungeon
- Renamed Baba's Sanctum to Yaga's Sanctum, which is more gramatically
correct.
Balance
- Corpse encounters involving demons suffering from a status condition
now involve one less demon.
- Juggernaut now gives less energy, as a belated adjustment based on
movement now being a half-turn action.
- Changed Tremane's ability set slightly, in hopes of leading him to be
a bit less of a heal bot.
Abilities
- Dash now requires an empty space as a target.
- Discharge and Emit Sparks can now hit Sleeping targets. Notably, this
will cause the AI to be rather reluctant to use them if there is a
Sleeping target they might hit.
- Changed Wild Frenzy's icon to better reflect it is not a movement
ability.
AI
- Improved pathfinding and decision making for 'pacifist' demons
attempting to keep their allies in sight. For now, this improvement is
only for player allies due to concerns about the performance of the new
code.
- 'Pacifist' demons are less likely to advance on sleeping targets.
- The AI will no longer use hostile abilities that do not effect any
hostile targets in any way. (This fixes a visual bug where the AI would
sometimes use hostile abilities this way if it had another reason to do
so, such as cooldowns that are reduced by using abilities of a certain
type.)
- Reduced the willingness of the AI to take the 'long way' around when
pathing to locations where the direct routes are blocked.
- The AI will no longer consider using hostile enchantments being used
on allies already afflicted by those hostile enchantments, even if it
would not change the remaining duration.
- The AI is now more likely to use hostile AE abilities on its former
allies while Charmed, and is also more likely to attack friendlies who
are in different 'groups'.
- The AI now values removing the Infection status effect more.
- Made the AI less eager to use Miracle cooldown abilities.
- Unconquerable now causes the AI to be less reluctant to use Endure
cooldown abilities.
- Reduced the evaluation for the Regen status effect.
- 'Pacifist' demons are now less aggressive when given a Kill Command.
- Hand of the Dead AI summoners no longer spitefully delete all of their
allies when near death.
UI
- Status effects are now displayed as icons instead of text in most
places that display status effects.
- You can mouse over status effect icons to get a tooltip with information
about the status effect's ... well, effect... and its remaining duration.
- Fixed a bug where the player becoming Charmed while having too many
demons caused a lockup that required restarting Demon to fix.
- Bask should now be better about selecting an Ignited enemy as a default
target.
Bug Fixes
- Enemy summoners are no longer, under certain circumstances, oddly
hesistant to summon replacement demons during combat.
- Fixed a bug where Dash would sometimes fail when there was no reason for
it to do so during ability execution, causing the user to get "yanked"
back to their original position.
- Newly summoned allies now have their last action set to Basic Pass
instead of null, allowing them to be the target of abilities that
check the last ability used by a target. (This also applies to newly
spawned demons from corpse encounters.)
- Fixed a bug where abilities with "random chances" did not work properly.
- Enchantment removal results are no longer processed if the target
enchantment is not present, which sometimes caused odd messages.
- A certain ability used by a certain entity now respects the Charm
condition and will no longer continue to be used against enemies even
when those enemies have Charmed the source.
- Your Codex is now cleared slightly later in the end game sequence, so
that your demons don't show up as "New!" during the end game review when
playing in Solo mode.
- Fixed a tiny graphical glitch with negotiation windows in lower
resolutions.
- Fixed a tiny graphical glitch with the tile cursor during the end game
sequence.
