0.8.2 - Items Update
Diecast (Public Playtest #4) » Devlog
Welcome, high rollers!
This update brings a LOT of changes (big and small) with bug fixes, a few more dice, and finally ITEMS! Read on in the patch notes below:
Visual:
- Enlarged all menu buttons with a fancy new coat of paint (roll button, menu buttons, etc.)
- Reworked shop backgrounds to be more shop-y
- There is now a common, uncommon, and rare theme for each shop type. (More shop types to come in future updates!)
- Reworked "Even" and "Odd" item arrow colors.
- Popups now default to always staying visible until manually popped, or when dice are rerolled (Added setting to turn this off in options menu.)
- Added a "star pop" animation when dice are rolled and number is displayed.
- Added in themed buttons (player request)
- Show completed score instead of math (player request). Math is still visible when right clicking a score to see its info.
- Reworked information GUI system to better fit location of object on screen (WIP)
- Renamed score "Upgrade" text to "Level Up" to better reference the experience levels gain.
- Reworked die descriptions to be more information than flavorful.
- Added score description when hovering over scores.
Balance Changes:
- ALL scores have been changed so that they have more substantial upgrades on leveling up.
- Reworked how "Target Points" are calculated, making the game harder (and then exponentially harder after Sector 7).
- Gain +2 cash for each remaining roll (up from +1)
- "Snake Eyes" Start: 0 points | 111 mult, Level Up: +1 points | +0 mult
- Adding items affected odd values and made this way too overpowered. Made some slight changes to keep it powerful in certain circumstances.
- Base reroll cost for shops reduced to $2 (from $3).
New Content:
- Added a tutorial to better explain how to play the game, and walk through the gameplay, level select, and shop. (WIP)
- Items: Items have been added to increase build options. Items also have rarities that affect how often they appear.
- Shop has two items available (can be rerolled for more).
- Common:
- Ones Up (Twos Up, Threes Up, Fours Up, Fives Up, Sixes Up): Add +10 to points when scoring any 1s.
- Tarnished Coin: Reroll a random die.
- Den of Snakes: Add +3 to mult when scoring 3 or more ones.
- Fuzzy Dice: 'Pair' score is worth 2x more when scored.
- Four Square Ball: '4 of a Kind' score is worth 2x more when scored.
- Uncommon:
- Odds Up (Evens Up): Add +10 points when odd/even numbers are scored.
- Silver Coin: Reroll a selected die.
- Numberchucks: Add the sum of all selected dice to the score an extra time (before mult is calculated).
- Quantum Die: Roll a die twice and choose one result.
- Dad's Toolbox: 'Full House' score is worth 2x more when scored.
- Nexus of Numbers: Add the values of two dice to create a new temporary die.
- Rare:
- Primal Die: Gain +2 mult for each prime number in your selected dice, within 20 (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19).
- Twelve's Dagger: Add 12 to this scoring hand for each 12 rolled.
- Steel Epee: 'Three of a Kind' score is worth 2x more when scored.
- Level Select: Changed level select visuals and added a "shop" icon to each "Target".
- Shops are randomly selected depending on the "Target" level (more to come in future updates).
Player Request:
- Popups for "on roll" effects now last longer when game speed is increased to better help readability (only when "auto pop popups" setting is turned on)
- Added an "Abandon Run" button in the options menu
- Game now goes back to level select screen upon beating a boss and claiming a reward.
- Added "Boss Rewards" tracker to screen to keep track of rewards chosen in a run
- Added separate "Reroll" buttons to scores, dice, and items in shop. Cost goes up on each consecutive
Bug Fixes:
- Changed/added text to show whether some dice have an ability (dice names with an *).
- Fixed bug with Wooden Block copied faces not being removed from selected dice when the original A or B value was removed.
- Added bigger point tally visuals for all you super high rollers (1,000 and 10,000).
- Fixed popup icons overlapping on hover.
- Anything else I forgot to mention... (Imagine it here!)
