Loop For A While v0.3.1

v0.3.1

New

• Hint for the barrier via lore note in the first room, also changed the shader to slightly get warmer as it gets closer to required number
• Codex hotkey (K) added
• Codex panel now has a close button
• Orphaned queue entries now shown in red in the action strip
• Echo interactables now show their permanent effect in the Codex OBJECTS tab
• Skill tier-up narrative lines added for all skills at T2

Changes

• Codex now closes on right-click like Journal
• Orphaned queue entries now shown in red in the action strip
• Increased UI font sizes across the board
• Shrine trials now persist through resets. Each pressure attempt gives 3 tries before the trial ends — OOM and manual reset both consume an attempt
• Trees for the boundary of Meadows are now the same as the others
• Doubled darkening of Hollowed Trunk used texture for better visibility
• Renamed shrines from Ancient Shrine to their respective skill names
• Enemy drops now go directly to inventory, world drop only if inventory is full
• Surge now restores previous speed mode (Slow/Fast) on deactivation or energy drain
• Boost renamed to Surge throughout UI, tooltips and Echoes
• Tag discovery now requires 2 encounters — first encounter shows ???, second unlocks the first tag; each additional tag requires 2 more encounters
• Tag badges on enemy Codex entries now only show tags the player has actually unlocked
• Alert tag only unlocks after Ambush is learned
• Book interactables renamed: Combat Manual and Attunement Manual, to distinguish from their corresponding Document entries
• Journal height reduced to fit screen without clipping
• Meditation mat screen fade now covers only the world viewport, not the full screen

Balance

• Halved early Focus XP on usage (flat), was multiplied by too many different things by mistake
• Halved XP rate of Inspect
• Green Spider: time 15s -> 12s, mana -20/s -> -24/s
• Giant Snail: time 30s -> 20s, mana -10/s -> -16/s
• Green Cultist: mana -12/s -> -14/s
• Brush: mana -11/s -> -14/s
• Slightly lowered the amount of XP/s for terrain
• Added a small number of annoying brushes
• Shuffled some items around

Fixes

• Fixed one-shot mode being permanently stuck after shift+right-click triggered a browser popup. One-shot is now a toggle (T key) instead of a held modifier
• Implemented fixes for New Game sometimes failing to clear save data on web builds
• Fixed backspace in the save/load panel and auto-use threshold fields deleting queue entries
• Fixed textures in threshold and route panels not rendering on web
• Fixed second zone not graying out when paused
• Terrain modifiers now correctly appear in the Codex TERRAIN tab
• Mana capacity narrative now fires correctly: one message per milestone tier (level 5, 15, 25) regardless of which skill triggered it
• Inspect on enemies no longer crashes
