Changelog [1.0.58]

Added a save and load system in multiplayer and auto save at the beginning of each floor. It also allows the host to reload a game with disconnected players. See Multiplayer Save part below for more details.
Added a share items feature in multiplayer. Items in the inventory are now shared between players. The backpack is still for personal items. Be careful when you go to another level and check your inventory before leaving!
Researches are now shared between players on multiplayer
Added a new menu (top left corner or “P” shortcut) in multiplayer with the following features:
- Players can give heroes to the other players
- Players can check the network ping state of each player
- Players can still exchange resources
- The host can kick players
Added an option on multiplayer which allows the host to choose between private (only by invitation – default), friends only, and public game
Added DLCs listing in the main menu
Added more variety in the weapon impact VFXs
Improved the main menu light and VFX
Fixed the negative restore Science cost bug
Reduced the Tear Gas module damage over time
Improved the loading time when generating a new floor

Multiplayer Save

The host can save and quit the game in the same conditions as the solo mode (only during the strategic phase). Every player will be disconnected and receive the save. One of the players (and only one) must go in “Multiplayer / Load” and select the game (he/she then becomes the host). The other players can then see the loaded game in the session list (only available for players of the previously saved game).

This feature allows a disconnected player to get back into the game. If a network issue occurs, the host can save and quit, then reload the game with everybody. We’re working on small improvements to make this process simpler.

The auto saves are also available on multiplayer mode. If the host crashes or is disconnected, he/she will be able to load the game at the beginning of the current floor with the other players.

RELEASE NOTES [1.0.40]

On this day, Endless technology lights up and strange things appear in the ruins all across Auriga, and even throughout the galaxy as the Archivist, Esseb Tarosh, fulfills its duty.

IMPROVEMENTS

Improved the multiplayer mode stability: optimisation of bandwidth usage to reduce impact of bad connections (high packet loss rate) on game sync and avoid disconnections
Optimised lighting system and memory usage: the game should perform better and experience less crashes
Improved auto-save feature: it is now functional if a crash occurs during the elevator phase
Improved our save system: players with save issues should be able to save their games in this version
Added a backup system between game versions: if there is an incompatibility between your save and a new version, your save will not be lost and you’ll just have to restart your current level
Added resolution mode options: pixel perfect, border (not stretched) and no border (stretched) modes
Improved tactical map transition
Added sound effects for the Pug hero, Ayairi Whairydd

BUG FIXES

Fixed some multiplayer issues (locking players in the lobby when the host is having connection problems and variable synchronisations amongst other things)
Fixed issues with our lighting system and DX11 compatibility
Fixed achievements that were wrongly unlocked after a save
Fixed keyboard shortcut issues on Mac (Note: there is a known issue in Unity (our game engine) with special characters on the numeric keys, which prevent some foreign users to use them to select heroes for example)
Fixed Autodoc Shards tooltip values

smiley: warning

We changed some critical assets in this version and old saves will not be compatible with this version. The new backup system will restart your current level.

Hotfix [1.0.59]

Implemented a vSync in the option menu
Re-uploaded the soundtrack in the game folder (Steam > Steamapps > Common > Dungeon of the Endless > Soundtrack)
Fixed an issue with a specific room in the Jungle environment where the player could not move
Fixed issues with player usernames containing "{" or "}" characters, which resulted in a crash

The "DEEP FREEZE" DLC: due to an issue with the Steam store, if you happen to own the Emperor (or Founder, as it was called during its Early Access phase) pack of Endless Legend. Before making a purchase, make sure you don't already have the DLC; it's represented by a little shiny ice cream cone at the bottom left corner of the screen, in the main menu (it won't shine as much if you don't own the DLC).

RELEASE NOTES [1.1.0]

[ADDITIONS] Rescue Team

Added 3 new Heroes, with a really refreshing gameplay:
- Wes Davoun, the radio operator:
  - He's a very good operator and one of the best support characters of the game. Thanks to his radio skills he can buff all heroes on the floor.
  - Special Transmission (passive skill): operating a resource module raised to an art form. Depending on which resource module you are operating, it will provide a different buff to all heroes on the floor:
    - When operating a Food module, provides health regeneration to all heroes on the floor.
    - When operating an Industry module, provides attack power to all heroes on the floor.
    - When operating a Science module, provides attack power to all minor modules on the floor.
  - Good Morning Auriga (active skill): movement speed buff for all heroes on the floor. When the whole team has to rock and roll!
  - Urgent Call (active skill): make an urgent phone call to change what will happen in the next room you’ll open, and force a positive event to happen. When you want anything but trouble behind the next door.
- Zugma Walker, the bulldozer operator:
  - Zugma, driving her bulldozer, is the first übermassivetanky operator!
  - Recycling Beast (active skill): transform every monster killed into a random resource (except Dust). Not everybody can turn roadkill into resources!
  - Steamroller (passive skill): reduces the movement speed penalty when carrying the Crystal. Zugma Walker is a very slow character but when she's carrying the Crystal she becomes one of the fastest characters in the game.
  - Secret Compartment (passive skill): she can keep a part of the Dust from a floor to another. That little place where cops and customs officers never look.
- Sasha Chokyo, the trainer:
  - With Sasha you gotta grab’em all! Indeed, you can train any monsters of the game! When you’ve got a monster as a pet, it can deal damage to other monsters. Moreover, it can even level up by killing other monsters! Take care of your pet by feeding them Food.
  - Heel! (active skill): tames the most powerful monster in the room. An order even monsters will obey.
  - Table Scraps (passive skill): share a part of your Food when healing Sasha with the tamed monster. One way to keep your pet healthy.
  - Attack Dawg (passive skill): share a part of the hero’s attack power with the trained monster. Your pet is every bit as vicious as you are.
Added 2 new Hurnas monsters, from the Endless Legend’s universe:
- The Hunter: always stalking the weakest hero of your group, it’s an archer that attacks slowly but deals heavy damages. Take care of your operators!
- The Warden: a crazy spinning zone damage dealer. Don’t keep all your heroes in one place, or lower your head to dodge his club!
Added 1 new Major Module, the Field Medic:
- It reduces healing costs on the floor,
- It increases heroes and NPC’s defence on the floor.
Added 4 new items:
- Heavy Engine: provides attack power, reduces movement speed and grants the Steamroller passive skill.
- Secret Pocket: provides defence and gives the Secret Compartment passive skill.
- Rescue Kit: provides attack power, wit and health regeneration.
- Training Kit: provides attack power, and gives the ability to operate.

[ADDITIONS] All versions – G2G content

Added a new spaceship, the Organic Pod: [G2G]
- This pod is an intellectual living creature, so take care of her like a member of your crew. Remember, she likes red wine, boiled shrimp with sauce, classical music and pictures of kittens.
- Gameplay effects:
  - Creatures are faster.
  - Modules can’t be repaired.
  - Powered rooms:
    - Can’t be unpowered,
    - Deal damage to modules and artefacts at every turn,
    - Reduce monsters’ defence by 100%,
    - Provide +0.5 Food per turn.
Added a new Hero, Rosetta QV1819: [G2G]
- Egocentric passive gameplay: attack power and defence bonus per mob in the room, so bring it!
- Tower of Babble (active skill): within a limited period of time, all monsters with less than 25% health points explode instantly dealing zone damages to all the surrounding monsters. An uninterrupted flow of multi-syllabic words would confuse even the most enraged enemy.
Added 3 new monsters, the Vultus: these 3 new monsters are quite insignificant damages dealers, but they are nasty gameplay breakers!
- Trash: they spread into the dungeon and slow minor modules’ attack speed.
- Debuffer: slows a hero’s attack and movement speed.
- Vultu: it has a chance to spawn in a random unpowered room at the beginning of a turn. Kill it before it vanishes at the end of the timer and you’ll be rewarded with a Dust loot. So hurry up! [G2G]
Added 2 new minor modules:
- Biomass Factory: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Industry.
- Biomass Cannery: a minor module that converts dead monsters into Food.
Added 8 new items from the Endless Legend universe:
- Executive's Armband: % odds to trouble the targeted monster.
- Cheater's Armband: % odds to poison the targeted monster.
- Antigrav Trinket: boosts the movement speed but lowers defence, useful for Crystal carrying.
- Self-Help Buds: boosts wit, defence and attack power.
- Shanty Singer: boosts defence of all heroes in the room.
- Brainwave Bracers: boosts health regeneration depending on number of mobs in the room.
- Fred's Fixer: adds wit, boosts repair speed.
- Drug-o-matic: boosts health regeneration and defence.
Added controller support
Added a new ending sequence: finish the game to actually watch it!

FIXES

Fixed several desynchronisation issues: the multiplayer mode should now be more stable
Fixed a bug that occurred upon finding a new item: the inventory now properly opens if you click on the notification
Fixed an issue with the visual effects on monsters or heroes, which are now hidden when the room is affected by the EMP event
The Keeper can now attack unrecruited heroes
The game is now paused when opening the Album by clicking on a notification
Fixed the tactical map main background animation

All impact VFXs are now displayed both on the client and server side during a multiplayer game

The option menu can now be closed using the Escape key

PATCH NOTES [1.1.3]

Wes Davoun has been rebalanced:
- "Urgent Call" skill has been reconsidered. The skill now makes a hero appear in the next opened room. The cooldown has been lowered. It can only rarely make an artefact appear. Spawned heroes can’t be recruited in both Armory and Refreezerator pods.
- "Radio Tower" is divided into 3 skill levels, accessible at levels 4/9/15. This makes Wes’ progression more interesting and dynamic. Also, the skill is more powerful than before when Wes reaches level 15.
- Because he’s an interesting early game operator, to make him more fair compared to other operators:
  - -1 general Wit.
  - "Knowledge Is Good" is unlocked a bit later.
The Zoner can now hit the crystal, a part of his zone damages are converted into direct damages.
The Silic Supporter, Silic Bulldozer and Elite Flying Necrophage monsters don’t hit the player’s modules anymore. However, Kamikazes monsters and Chimera Keepers can still damage it.
The Silic Supporter now buffs the player’s team when tamed.
The tamed Chimera Keeper normally doesn’t need a hero to be in the same room he’s in to be active anymore.
The Death Merchant can’t spawn in the very first rooms of each floor anymore.
"Paramedic" (Deena, Opbot, Kaspar) heal skill is now a lot more efficient.
Deena unlocks level 2 "Paramedic" earlier during her progression.
"Sandvitch" (Misha) heal skill is now more efficient.
Biomass Factory module isn't available in the Armory Pod anymore.
Biomass Modules, "Recycling" and "Soylent Green" passive skills don’t generate resources during crystal waves anymore.
"Recycling" and "Soylent Green" now produce more resources.
Minor modules attack general rebalancing: AoE modules are lowered, single target modules are increased. The new computation rationale is more realistic in the way we take more into account the number of monsters that compose waves. AoE are still the best choice to kill waves, they just need bigger waves to be as profitable as before.
- Prisoner Prod is slightly more powerful.
- KIP cannon requires less Science to reach its attack power limit, but the limit is unchanged.
- Tesla module is more powerful.
- Machine Gun does more damages but heats up a little more faster.
- Claymore & Seblaster are less powerful.
Fixed an issue with the Xbox One controller on Windows 10.
Fixed an issue with the "Researcher" achievement which wasn't unlocking properly for players who didn't own the Rescue Team content pack.

[0.1.3] Release Notes

Minimised the Crystal removal exploit by:
- Increasing the difficulty and reducing the delay between waves after each wave, without resetting them if the Crystal is plugged. This means that you can do that but you complicate the exit
- Reducing by 4 the Dust loot during the Crystal phase
Reduced efficiency of the winning strategy: “build a maximum of resource production modules” by increasing the cost of major modules proportionally to the current number of major modules in the level
Slightly increased the difficulty of end level and level 3
Slightly increased the cost of some minor modules
Slightly increased the attack power of bomber module
Fixed projectiles trajectory in case of low frame-rate

smiley: warning

IMPORTANT: If you seem to have an issue after the update, please, verify your game files: right click on the game in your Steam Library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache.

Release Notes [0.1.14]

Hero active and passive skills

Each hero gets up to 2 active and 2 passive skills (+ repairing and operating skills) when s/he levels up (predefined for each). Later on as new levels unlock, new skills will be available.
You can trigger an active skill with the icons below the hero portraits or use ‘E’, ‘R’, ‘T’ keys
The number displayed on the icon is the number of doors you have to open before using it again
More information about the skills principle and objectives here: http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/content.php?374
This is a first version of the skill system, the effects need to be tweaked and we started with relatively “simple” skills (stats modifiers) but we are planning on adding more complex ones.

Changes on game variables and difficulty

Added a global variable that dynamically measures the difficulty of a level and modifies the events to balance it and slightly reduces inequalities between games [Community]
Capped the hero’s max level to 6 and modified the skills distribution [Community]
Slightly increased the recruitment cost
Slightly decreased Opbot’s wit and wit items effect [Community]
Added a 4th level in the dungeon [Community]
Increased power of mobs to slightly reduce their number [Community]
Reduced Dust loot and number of module slots in the 3rd and 4th levels
Slightly increased mobs speed
Reduced the delay of the first waves during the Crystal phase [Community]
Removed module targeting mobs during the Crystal phase waves in the last levels
Tweaked item loot table
Slightly improved the level design diversity

Improved GUI and Controls

Added new shortcuts: inventory = I, hero panel = U, close last opened panel = ESC [Community]
Improved Heroes HUD (still WIP)
Added right click on the hero portrait to open hero panel [Community]
Added the display of the DPS value in the hero stats panel [Community]
Prevented manual heal during auto heal phase [Community]
Added a “select all” shortcut on the key placed before the numbers in the top left corner, first step for multi-selection [Community]
Added a simple loading progress screen
Added some tooltips [Community]
Added a targeting priority to the Crystal focusing mob [Community]

Remark: until we develop a dedicated interface, you can modify, at your own risk, the shortcuts in Registry.xml (Documents > Dungeon of the Endless > Users > Username). Use this list: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html to add / remove keys (you can write several keycodes with spaces between them). If you want to retrieve the default values, remove the file and launch the game.

Improved performance and fixed bugs

Fixed operating module bonus depending on equipped items [Community]
Fixed some UI bugs (refreshed module cost, animations during pause, etc.)
Improved dungeon generator on low end computers
Improved performance in the last levels

Balancing

See the latest dev blog post for more details and rationales about the multiple changes which impact the balancing of the game

Refactored configuration system which allows us to control the flow and the events more precisely:
- Some events (exit, merchants, heroes and artefacts) are placed at the generation to control the:
- Quantity of Dust loot in rooms at each floor is now controlled
- Spawn of mobs is now random at each floor
The targeting of some mobs have changed:
- Necrophage Flying attacks major modules and target in priority long range heroes
- Silics Bulldozer no longer attacks heroes
- Silics Trash attacks only the Crystal (but is weaker)
- Most part of elites mobs attacks NPC
The offence modules have now a priority target:
- Prisoner pods are anti-heroes mobs
- Tesla are anti-modules mobs
- Claymoars are basic mobs
- Smoking guns are special mobs
The move speed of entities are reduced when in the same room than enemies, except:
- Flying Necrophage
- "Crysophile" Necrophage
- Hydra Chimera
- Some heroes with "dodge" passive skills
The previous version level 8 is approximately the new level 11-12 in terms of food cost and stats
The heroes stats and skills have changed with new levels and to create a distinctions between the different teams of heroes
Increased waves difficulty when the exit is found
