• Título del parche: Parche 0.25
• Fecha de lanzamiento del parche: Abril 20, 2024

The developer of Boons & Burdens has released a new update for the game on April 20, 2024. Estas son las cosas nuevas que debería esperar ver o cambiar en esta nueva actualización.. Esta información fue seleccionada directamente del anuncio oficial en Steam. 

Nota: These changes have been live on the beta test branch for some time, this isn’t a glitch in the Matrix, you may have seen some of this before.

This patch is all about improving the quality of life of Boons & Burdens. A lot has changed in a really short time, and that meant some things didn’t get the polish they deserved. Like the previous update, this is all about sanding down rough edges, but it adds a lot more to the user experience as well, and should improve playability too.
I still have more polish for sounds and visuals planned, but I’ve rolled the rest of that into future patches that add more content. Speaking of future patches and more content, I’ve mapped out the full roadmap to release from this point, and it looks like this right now:

Art Updates

• The weapon rack now fills up with the staves you’ve unlocked
• Tag Toteam Totem has new animations
• There is a new shielding effect when a ring gives you a shield
• There is a new persistent effect when Ring of Enduring triggers
• Heat Wave now gets a new visual effect when you take the Dragon’s Breath boon
• The Ring of Totems totem now fires an appropriately green colored projectile

Mejoramiento

• Decreased memory usage of a variety of sprites and effects
• Reduced objects stored in memory during various phases of the game
• Optimized various routines and actions during combat in both modes, preventing uneccessary code from running when not needed
• The frame rate is now capped at 60fps, down from 120. This may seem counterintuitive, but the game was always simulating 60fps, and the higher fps cap may have been causing some weird video issues that my previous games didnt have.

Insectos

• Ring of Self Serving now properly disables sacrifices in addition to its healing effects
• Combo meter no longer resets during shop phase in Arena
• The invulnerable timer will no longer appear at your destination before you do during a Pyro dash ability
• Objective icons will no longer cover elements of the shop menu in Arena
• Objective icons will no longer cover elements of the shop menu in Arena
• The Boon tree interface should now show the correct art with a dividing line between description and talents
• Inventory Text now properly clears when selecting an empty inventory space
• Infernicite can no longer randomly spawn from chests in Arena (Lo siento, jajaja)
• Chests should no longer get stuck in a sort of limbo where they can’t be attacked. Nota: Haven’t actually been able to replicate this bug, but I put in some code to hopefully prevent the issue. If you find that any chests or enemy units become non-responsive to attacks and won’t die, please take a screenshot of your loadout, and the current mode/burden/sacrifice (pause to get these details). Let me know if the units still move, animate, interact with you.
