- Auto Cast Update: Remove MS Powerpoint - 16 April 2023
Bug Fixes Removed the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation from the game: Optimized the enemy's colliders to improve framerate at extremely high enemy count. Some players were unable to select a talent in the soul forge menu. I've applied a change that should in theory fix this, but unfortunately I have not been able to replicate the bug, so I can't verify if it will. Balancing Increased the xp bounty of goblins Increased monument blessing rewards Lowered the effect of the slimy debuff by 30% Added a short cooldown to relics Added a soft lock to the amount of enemies that can spawn. Events that trigger enemy spawns such as monuments and boss spawns can still exceed this cap, but normal enemy spawns will not be spawned if there are already 200 enemies
- Auto Cast Update: Horde Meter Reworked - 15 April 2023
After careful consideration, I have decided to rework the horde meter mechanic to hopefully make it feel less frustrating. Horde Meter Rework Filling the horde meter no longer starts a countdown, and the player can no longer directly die due to the horde meter being full. While the horde meter is above 33% (yellow), the hero will be afflicted by a new debuff, Riled Up. While the horde meter is above 66% (red), the hero will be afflicted by a new debuff, Seeing Red. New Debuffs Riled Up: Attacks from enemies deal 50% more damage. Seeing Red: Enemies attacks have a 50% chance to pierce evasion and armor. Mushroom cloud explosions and spike traps are unaffected by these debuffs. Hopefully these changes will create a more fun experience for the player. As always, I will be closely monitoring feedback to determine if this mechanic requires further reworking. Thank you for playing Auto Cast,…
