Surprise! Since this is a holiday weekend and I finally have some free time, you guys get an EverDelve update! I've been sitting on a stack of features for a good long while now, and they're finally ready for prime time. In short, lots of bugfixes, some major visual improvements to the map screen, and new features including a level exploration experience bonus and a new room: the Wayfinding Shrine! For monetary donations, a wayfinding sprite will appear and guide you to various destinations throughout the level.

Most of these updates were done to try and eliminate an issue most are still having where they can't find a critical level element, such as the level key or the stairs down. This issue might still crop up for those of you who have experienced it, but with the new features in place we'll know for sure if this is a legitimate bug or not. You're still welcome to report the depth and seed of any level that is unsolvable, but since it may not actually help me reproduce the problem it's not imperative.

To be clear, I guess this means development of EverDelve isn't dead ... just really, really slow. The next big change will be to add instructive and informative tooltip text to everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! o.O

Happy Gaming!

Version: v0.6.2

New Features

* Game now keeps track of how many rooms of the current maze you've explored, displayed with text on the main map screen.
* An exp award is given when a player fully explores a level.
* Wayfinding feature has been added.

Cosmetic

* Player's location is now represented by their chosen face icon.
* Map display is larger. Room icons on the map are now displayed at full size.
* Other minor tweaks to the map display.
* A larger version of the current room icon is displayed in the upper right.
* Room action buttons are now centered in the right-hand pane.
* Miscellaneous tweaks to the maze screen UI.

Bugfixes

* It is no longer possible to purchase talents that are disabled. The buttons are actually disabled now. Like a boss.
* Some players may have some or all of their talent points refunded if they were spent incorrectly (i.e. buying a 3rd tier talent before buying the required number of 1st and 2nd level talents). This is a one-time fix that occurs when converting saved data from version 4 to version 5. If any talent points are refunded, an explanatory popup will appear immediately after game load and the player will have the chance to spend their points before play continues.
* All attributes now have a minimum value, and cannot be reduced below this value for any reason. Primary attributes like Strength and Charm cannot be reduced below 1, while secondary attributes like melee power and magic defense cannot be reduced below 0. As such, stacked curses/plagues can no longer outright kill a Combatant.
* When combat ends, the removal of temporary modifiers no longer has the potential to cause combat to resume.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to remove temporary modifiers after the combat instance had been deleted.
* Streamlined level exploration tracking.
* Fixed a bug where temporary modifiers would not get fully removed at end of combat, resulting in bonuses/penalties that never go away.
