V18: Forests & Demons


Smaller update this time, most of the changes are either cosmetic, or relating to the demonkin route. Those are listed at the end if you want to avoid spoilers. Some notable changes out side of that: Shrines now have a completion reward before, and outside of, the hellfire event, some items that previously lacked unique graphics now have new graphics, the book of four-heal now has an upgrade tree, and I fixed a bug where the player could hit enemies that had the immune status. Oh, also some parallax work and reworks, including this pretty oak forest parallax I made to replace the jungle parallax. The jungle looked nice but it was thematically off. It can still appear as a random background in places that don't care, like the extras menu shrine minigame.

Changes & additions

  • Changed the status tooltips to "inflicted on you" from "inflicted to you".

  • Added unique graphics for using the sacrificial dagger, tower shield, wedge shield, and bloodspike pauldron.
  • Adventurer now visually shields themself when injured.
  • Shrines now have soldiers guarding them if you've desecrated at least 2, or 4 shrines if it's in the burned area.

    • Book of improved four-heal. (Perma-crafted from most combinations of the Fourth order bookmark, Four-armour, and the Book of improved four-heal)

  • Changed some default options.

  • Added new parallaxes for oak forests.
  • Blood now moves to the end of your inventory when you return from a dungeon, and sorts in the last bracket.
