Here are the patch notes:


=NEW STUFF

- New button in Settings -> Saving: Export Save Files. This exports your save files from a Web build for use with the Desktop version.

- Summons now passively earn EXP for as long as they're active. You can find more info on this in the Summons tab.

- New Feature: Passive Skills (needs to be unlocked) with 4 skills (more will be added later).

- New Area: Rat's Nest

- New Events

- New Objectives

- New Setting in Settings -> General: Return to Stage 1 (Check this one out. You may find it very useful!)

- New Setting in Settings -> General: Vsync (if you have screen tearing issues, this should help)

- New setting in Settings -> Interface: Display FPS.

- Added a bunch of new (?) symbols into the GUI. You can hover over these to get a helpful tooltip. This is ongoing work.

- Clicking the Stage Lock icon no longer takes you to Settings. It now opens a new Stage Lock widget.

- Added "Run Time" timer to the top-left which displays how long you've been playing.

= IMPORTANT CHANGES

- Game Speed multipliers have been removed. They were causing a lot of problems. In its place is now a Reward Multiplier. Game progress should pretty much be the same.

- Cooldown Reduction is now capped at 70%. This may need further adjusting later.

- Cursor Cutter (default LMB skill) has had its MP cost reduced from 5 to 1. This is to encourage active play when you want to play actively. Game balance will still be around idle play.

- Cursor Cyclone (default RMB skill) now has a Base Damage of 12, up from 1, and attacks 8 times, up from 6.

- Higher tier enemies now get a bonus to their movement speed.

- Fixed issue where Tier 2 and Tier 3 enemies in Area 2 didn't get their stats multiplied correctly. This also made higher tiers weaker than they should've been. Overall, Stage 20+ in Area 2 will now be a bit harder.

- Ember, the Fox (Summon) now has a 1.0 x Acuity chance on their special trait, up from 0.5 x Acuity.

- DEX now gives 1% Cooldown Reduction per point invested instead of 0.5%

- AGI now gives 0.7% Critical Chance per point invested instead of 0.3%

- Higher tier enemies have their aggression radius increased depending on what Stage you're on.

- In Area 1, the number of enemies that spawn in earlier Stages has been increased. This should help the relatively slow start of Nomad Idle a little bit.

- Enemies can now spawn closer to the player.

- Enemies now have a limit for how far away they can spawn from the player.

- The maximum amount of enemies that can coexist has been reduced to 100. You won't notice this due to the above changes, but it should improve performance.

- Damage popups have been optimized. If these were giving you lag trouble in the past, please try them again.

- Interactables now despawn if the limit is reached in order to make room for new interactables. As a result, you should see more benefit from Ember, the Fox's Special Trait.

- Interactable reward randomness has been tightened up from 10~1000 to 100~1000 for EXP, Coins, and Souls and from 1~10 to 5~50 for next-Area Materials.

- Interactables in Areas higher than Area 1 now give more reward.

= MISCELLANOUS CHANGES

- HP/MP Regeneration now happens every frame instead of every second. You still recover the same HP/MP per second, but it's now more gradual.

- Reduced enemy hit SFX volume.

- Damage Popups are now drawn behind objects. It might seem a bit strange at first, but this is way better for visibility while maintaining the chaos.

- Added tips to the Game Over screen.

- Total rewards given from a Bestiary enemy are now displayed next to their reward description.

- In the Craft screen, when a piece of Equipment is eligible for an upgrade, it now has a special effect.

- You now unlock equipment at Stage 5 in The Gentlewood instead of Stage 7.

- Item drop chances are now displayed in the Bestiary.

- Damage Log removed.

- Added Activity Log.

- The Stat Descriptions panel has been removed. There's now tooltip hover points for stats in your Stat Overview which explain them.

- Re-added Base stat and its calculation into the Stat Overview screen.

- Replaced most "- Description -" sections in menus with tooltips. This is ongoing work and I'm looking for feedback on this.

- Changed text. Summon stats no longer state that they're tied to specific Summons and instead state that they work across all active Summons.

- "Increase Stat Upgrade Cap" tab renamed to "Upgrade Stats".

- You can now hover over locked features to see how they're unlocked. You cannot yet do so for tabs (weird Godot bug I'm trying to solve).

- The backdrop of logs has been made darker so that they're more readable in bright Areas.

- More numbers are now abbreviated.

- Updated Hunting Party description to include that Cooldown Reduction does not affect it.

= BUG FIXES

- Base damage of skills was not being included in Damage multipliers. You should be inflicting slightly more damage overall now.

- Summon Autocast Chance and Summon Special Bonus stats were not being displayed properly in the Stat Overview screen.

- Misc multipliers were not being displayed properly in the Stat Overview screen.

- Fixed tiling error in Area 2.

- Fixed memory leak.

- Completing your highest Stage when it's Stage Locked wouldn't be reflected in Highest Completed Stage
