Hello everyone,

This time, it's for real! The official public update 0.9 is here. Thanks to our courageous players who tested the branch version to help us to finalise it :) So we added the 2 last heroes, a mob and an event but also the much-awaited tactical map, the backpack and other improvements requested by the community.

Content

• Added 2 new heroes:
• Mizi Kurtiz, the G2G hero and her dark companion
• Kreyang, the EL Founder pack Drakken hero
• Added 1 new event: the EMP, which temporarily deactivates modules of random rooms [G2G] Thanks Stealth_Hawk
• Added 1 new mob: the Hurna Debuffer (and its elite form) which reduces the attack power of heroes in the room
• Added “almost-HD” portraits for the heroes HUD
• Improved environments by adding props, animations and FXs
• Added situational dialogues (different for each heroes)
• Added new tutorial (select in the menu to test it) [WIP]

• Improved the Crystal phase:
• The rooms are no longer unpowered
• The Crystal can’t be put back in the first room
• All the doors of the floor are opened!
• You have to decide when you leave the floor: all your crew have to be in the exit, otherwise you lose them!
• Added a backpack in the Inventory panel: all items in this bag will be kept between floors
• Added remote powering: auto-power several rooms at the same time by clicking on a remote room as long as you have enough Dust

• Added a pause button on the bottom right widget

• Heroes found in the dungeon can now have a higher level (with cost slightly increased)
• Added hero refund: if you dismiss a hero, you get a certain amount of food based on his level
• Added a special portrait when a hero dies
• Improved Heroes HUD: reorganised the buttons to avoid misclicks, improved wounded feedback
• Improved GUI (log, hero panel, FIDS, dialogue, transition screens…)
• Unlocked Deena by default
• Changed low health feedback to be sooner and more visible
