Hey hey,

Thought I'd keep a Devlog here as well. Even though the game is quite close to ready! 

https://ccfeet.itch.io/the-vile-dungeon-of-cairnmoor

It's a roguelite that plays a bit like a traditional roguelike in that it's turn based and uses a roguelike-style tileset. It's inspired by Diablo games and it has a town above the dungeon like Diablo 1. Here you can build up the town and upgrade your hero for permanent buffs.

Dying in the dungeon means starting over and losing 50% of your gold. Permanent town upgrades stay though, and there's a stash where you can save some cool gear you find.

It's also, weirdly, inspired by Aghanim's Labyrinth in Dota 2, if anyone's ever played that.

Also this new update just went out (there's another big one coming soon, with most of the "boring" placeholder skills replaced with new interesting ones):

Seven new skills

The trees with the fewest options each got something new:

•  Anger (Warrior, level 1): every hit you take or block adds a stack of Anger. While you have stacks, monsters that hit you take thorns damage that grows with your armor. It opens a new road for a warrior who wants to get hit: Counterattack now needs Anger.
• Web (Ranger, level 1): throw a web that roots monsters and poisons them. No bow needed. It's the start of the spider road, so Spider Companion now needs Web.
• Hammer of Justice (Paladin, level 1): a holy hammer thrown at range, with a chance to stun. A spellcasting paladin can now reach Blessed Hammer without learning a melee attack first.
• Frost Aura (Paladin, level 9): monsters near you are chilled and take cold damage every turn.
• Holy Persuasion (Priest, level 5): a monster under half life joins your side, fully healed. It stays the same monster it was, and it follows you to the next floors.
• Rupture (Rogue, level 5): a weapon attack that makes all the poison left on the target hit at once, plus 50% more.
• Soul Link (Warlock, level 17): link up to five monsters, and part of the damage any of them takes is dealt to all the others.

Thorns now hits every monster that hits you, including archers and casters, not just monsters next to you. Blocked attacks set it off too.

New general traits

Most of the general traits were flat stat bonuses. Now they actually change how your build works. I won't spoil them here, go discover them.

Gold goblins

Now and then a gold goblin shows up on a floor. It runs from you, drops gold every time you hit it, and drops a big pile when it dies. About 20 turns after it sees you, it opens a portal and escapes. Each hit takes the same share of its life no matter how hard you hit, so fast attacks work best.

The Ledger

The character panel has a new Ledger tab with three pages:

• Bestiary: every monster you've met. Its entry fills in the more of that kind you kill.
• Traits: every trait you've found across all your lives. Traits you haven't found yet stay hidden. Each skill also has a Traits button that shows the traits that work with it.
• Statistics: your numbers across all your lives.

Town life

Bunch of interactions added to the town, some easter eggs too.

Balance and smaller changes

• Less gold on Normal: gold drops are down by 40%.
• The crypt is smaller: bigger rooms, far fewer doors and no dead-end halls.
• Weapon damage ranges are narrower: the highest roll is at most twice the lowest, with the same average as before.
• Spell damage on gear is now a percentage that raises every spell, so it helps big spells as much as small ones.
• Every skill that costs mana costs at least 4% of your maximum mana.
• Fire Mage toned down: Meteor and its burn, Firestorm's kill bursts and Scorch are weaker. Weave is stronger.
• Leech heals 10% per rank (was 20%).
• Borrowed Time keeps you on the floor until its debt is paid: no stairs or town portal while it lasts.
• Prism now picks the element that hurts the target most.
• The town's extra attribute points no longer have a cap: +4 points per level, as many levels as you want to buy.
• A monster counter under the minimap shows how many monsters are left on the floor. You don't have to kill them all.
• Monsters can now walk over your town portal instead of being blocked by it.

Huge skill and trait rework!

Every skill now has two trait paths: 198 paths across all 99 skills.

• A skill's two paths are a fork. Once you take one, its later ranks come up often and the other path only rarely, so about one life in four ends up with both paths of its main skill.
• The guaranteed skill card in a trait offer leans slightly toward your newest skills.

Reworked skills

• Toughness (Warrior): losing 20% of your life within 3 turns ends every affliction on you, then it waits 10 turns.
• Heavy Weapon Mastery (Warrior): every fourth weapon hit stuns for 1 turn and deals 30% more.
• Berserk (Warrior): for 4 turns you take 60% less damage and deal 40% more with weapon attacks. It takes no time to use.
• Unbreakable (Warrior): when a hit leaves you below 30% life, damage heals you instead for 3 turns.
• Brood (Ranger): monsters killed soon after a spider's bite hatch spiderlings.
• Lethality (Rogue): each weapon hit steals from the monsters it hits. They deal less damage and you gain Dexterity.
• Blessing (Priest): a cleanse plus a short, big boost to all resistances, and crowd control on you lasts half as long.
• Meditation (Priest): each spell has a chance to give back three times its mana cost.
• Martyr's Grace (Priest): for 5 turns, damage and healing are held back, then healing lands first. Nothing kills you while it holds.
• Summon Demon (Warlock): the demon is thrown onto a spot, hurting and stunning the monsters around where it lands, and burns the monsters next to it.
• Elemental Flow (Shaman): after a spell or a totem, your next plain attack sets off a lightning burst that chills.

New skills

• Challenge (Warrior): pulls nearby monsters into melee, so they can't shoot, cast or heal, and gives you more armor meanwhile.
• Driving Wind (Ranger): pushes monsters away along a line and silences them.
• Phase Shroud (Rogue): the next 3 hits on you deal no damage, and your next 3 attacks deal more.
• Rewind (Rogue): puts you back where you stood 4 turns ago, with the life and mana you had then.
• Sacred Guard (Paladin): you and nearby allies take no physical damage and heal a little each turn.
• Burning Mantle (Mage): a shield against fire, cold, lightning and poison that burns monsters near you.
• Exile (Priest): banishes a monster, or yourself, for 2 turns, then deals damage around it on the way back.
• Warding Totem (Shaman): gives resistances to you and your allies near it.
• The Mage's Town Portal skill is gone. Town portal scrolls are still there.

New monster threats, from act 2

• Serrated elites: their hits make you bleed 50% of the hit over 4 turns.
• Enfeebling elites: their hits weaken you, so you deal 25% less damage for 3 turns.
• Harrowing elites: they howl every 8 turns, with "Howl" shown over their head a turn ahead. Within 3 tiles, you're afraid and spend your next turn stepping away.
• The ten elemental shooters now cast spells. Spells always hit and can't be dodged or blocked, but deal half damage.
• Bleeding, weakened and afraid each have a status icon and a tip.
• Winning no longer wipes you on the spot
• The Demon Lord's way out, and the demo's end portal, show a short victory card, then take you back to town with everything you carry.
• From there you can sell, stash and buy upgrades. You start the new life when you choose, from the HUD button or the guards at the stairs.

Balance

• Leech gives mana only at rank 3, and Siphon's shield takes the extra healing first.
• Prism is rare and offered at a fifth of the old odds.
• Trophies are halved, and Serrated, Enfeebling and Harrowing can now be taken as trophies.
• The Pharaoh's Grave Wraps are wider and faster. They hit your tile and the four straight next to it, landing after 1 turn, so only a quick diagonal step gets away.
• Ranks that couldn't trigger were redesigned: Heat Sink 3, Breaking Point 3, Rolling Meteor (now rolls toward a monster) and Cut Down (any Death Mark kill counts).
• Act 1's Demon is removed. It was the Demon Lord's sprite in other colours.

UI

• The skills page draws real trees: lines from each skill to the ones that need it, five columns, and the tree tabs down the left.
• The smith's Enhance and Upgrade each have a (?) tip with the item's numbers now and after.
• Trait card texts fit their cards. Eleven cards ran over before, Echoing Hammer among them, and a test now keeps them within their lines.
• Bloodthirst's card says how much damage its charges give right now.
• Trait cards no longer name other traits (Leech, Night Terrors).
• Skill cards show the next rank's mana cost.

Fixes

• Poison bites now count as hits for Avenger, Reckoning, Toxic Hide, Rewind, Iron Will and Backlash.
• A path's extra hit could kill a monster twice, giving double XP and double the effects that trigger on a kill.
• Toughness now ends a stun that lands right after the hit.
• Challenge now lasts its full 2 turns.
• Quarry's allies now go for the marked monster.
• Atonement now counts only healing that actually lands.
• Boiling Over now works with Overhead Smash, and Reckoning with Shield Toss.
• Boss marks keep their spacing after a stun.
• "Equip best" now weighs mana per kill less for weapon builds.
• Selling everything no longer sells items you kept through a death.
• Totems now say why they can't be planted.
• Many smaller card, status and log line fixes.

The ~Feel~ Update 

Improved *feel* and ~feedback~ and @sparkliness@ of the game.

Added

• Creatures now come apart when they die, in a way that matches what killed them: they crumble, shatter from cold, burn to ash, melt from poison or jolt from lightning.
• When several creatures die in one turn, they come apart one after another, each harder and higher-pitched than the last.
• Rare, set and unique items now stand in a column of light, so you can spot them from across the room.
• Your critical hits now freeze the scene for a split second; this is a trial, so tell me what you think.
• Each act now has its own air: dust and sand that show up in light, dripping water in the caves and the temple, sand trickling down act 2's walls, and spores over the moss.
• Shafts of light now come down through the ceiling.
• You can now give your hero a hat: pick one of three when you make a new hero, and change it at the mirrors in town, one of them beside the stash.

Changed

• The gambler has been remade: you now pick the weapon family or kind of armor or jewelry, and then the exact item type and tier you want.
• Gambled items have better odds than drops, and each magic item you get raises your chance of a rare or better next time; this carries across lives and the panel shows the chance.
• A gambled item's price and stats now depend on the item type and tier you pick, not on your deepest floor, so plain items stay cheap and exceptional ones cost more.
• What you gamble now opens in its full item card, with buttons to equip it or buy another.
• Dropped items now fly out of whatever dropped them and bounce, and gold spills out as coins.
• An item's name label now waits until the item has landed.
• Creatures now flinch back a little when hit, and critical hit numbers punch in bigger.
• Newly seen ground now fades in out of the dark instead of appearing all at once.
• A dark ring now closes in on the hero when you take the stairs and opens out again on the next floor.
• The weapon in the hero's hand now takes the colours of the item you wield, so different weapons and tiers look different on the hero.
• Many unique items have new names, so they no longer share words with rare item names or sound like set pieces.

Got some good feedback on reddit about how annoying the yapping expo-dump tutorial was. So now there's a new tutorial level where you play to learn the game instead. There still is an innkeeper tour but after the tutorial, and it's shorter.

Added

• New tutorial intro for new players
• Hints that appear the first time something comes up: walking, attacking, skill points, potions, attribute points and gear
• A path at the west end of town to replay the tutorial

Changed

• Summons get armor, a share of your resistances and a share of your damage, all growing with rank
• Six uniques that had damage reduction got a new line instead: Old Oak (block), One-Two (dodge), Portcullis (thorns), Bastion and Kingmaker (life), Bellringer (all resistances)
• Rares are rarer on early floors: about one item in five on floor 1, down from about half
• The innkeeper's town tour now comes in parts when each place becomes useful
• The death screen says plainly what starts over

Removed

• Flat damage reduction stat (too strong early, useless late), including from saved items

Keyboard controls QoL update.

Added

• Every 20 points of Vitality give 1 life regeneration, and gear can roll 1 to 6 more as a suffix.
• Rest until full with H or the new campfire button beside the Skills button, and it stops when a monster shows up.
• At level 2, the merchant sells four potion upgrades with three levels each, and each one lasts 5 turns after you drink.
• After a mana potion they give up to 15% more spell damage and +15% cast speed, and after a healing potion up to 15% more weapon damage and 12% less damage taken.
• For a soul shard, the library takes every trait off one skill and gives you that many new trait picks, offered for the skills you've learned in the same tree.
• 14 new traits that change how their skill plays: Flashover, Dust Up, Rolling Thunder, Eye for an Eye, Gathering Clouds, Stand Your Ground, Moth to a Flame, Full Circle, Wrecking Ball, Out of Nowhere, Called Out, Shield of Faith, In Full Bloom and Ground Zero.
• Standing on gear shows a card with what wearing it would change, with Pick up (G) and Pick up and wear (B), and Alt shows the whole comparison.
• Every panel works with the keyboard: the movement keys move a highlight, and Enter or Space presses the highlighted button.
• A Sort menu for the bag and the stash sorts by value, quality, kind, or with items better than what you wear first.
• Export and import your save in the settings, to move a game between the browser, the Windows app and a phone.
• Items show what they sell for.
• Hold Alt on the skills page to see a skill's numbers at every rank, and on phones, arrows under a skill's text step through its ranks.
• Shift + a skill bar key makes that skill your auto skill.

• The innkeeper and Edda speak one letter at a time with a soft voice sound, and a tap or Space shows the whole line.

Changed

• Life now refills all the way through life regeneration, where before it only came back on its own below 25% of your maximum life.
• The 14 traits that only added numbers are gone, and heroes who had points in them get those points back as picks.
• These traits work differently now, and their cards say how: Whirling Guard, Pinned Down, Elusive, Blade Screen, Layered, Toxic Hide, Gavel, Humility, Live Wire, Sapped Strength, Corpse Feast, Soul Ward, Juggernaut, Staggering Weight, Steel Nerve, Stand Guard, Clinging Swarm, Hobble, Last Rites, Shadow Mend, Plunder, Rebuke, Ascension, Warband, Quick Reflexes, Impact Crater, Sanction and Fracture.
• Stepping onto stairs or a portal no longer takes them: use the button over the bar, G, Enter, or tap your hero.
• Gear you pick up for an empty slot is put on.
• The nearest monster in sight becomes your target.
• The target card turns see-through and lets clicks through when it covers a monster, your hero or where you're walking.

• When a keystone replaces a skill with its own version, that version now uses the traits you took for the original skill.
• With Searing Renewal, In Full Bloom lets Renew stack up to 3 times on a monster, and each Renew bursts for magic damage as it runs out.
• With Searing Renewal, Barkskin makes the first 3 hits on a monster after each Renew you cast on it deal 30% more damage.

• The ambush on the forest road has new sound.

Fixed

• About twenty bugs and exploits where keystones and other traits worked together wrongly.

• Equip best no longer overlaps the belt at 125% Windows scaling.
• The tour can't be skipped before you've made your character.

The Data Update - for data nerds

New life report screen shows you in-depth data of how your run is going, or how your run ended if you beat the game or died. Can be accessed through the ledge or death/victory screen.

Added

• Life report: damage dealt and taken by source, healing, skill use, defences, boss fights and a per-cast damage timeline. Open it from the death or victory screen, or from the Ledger's Reports page, which keeps the last ten lives.
• New main menu with the new logo, a fire reveal and its own music.

• Demo: the thank-you page has an email sign-up button.

Changed

• Stuns, freezes, roots and blinds on bosses and unique leaders land 30% of the time plus 1% per rank, up to 39% at rank 10. Ranks from gear past 10 add nothing.

• Skills and allies could pick a hidden mimic as the nearest target.

• The spark trap's center did not glow.
• The final arena's exit gave off no gold motes.

This update allows "normal attack" -builds to be valid. If you don't want to use spells or skills you can boost your normal attacks with these new skills and combo them with existing ones.

  • Added drawn hit impacts for each kind of blow: a slash for blades, a crush for blunt weapons and fists, a pierce for thrusts and arrows, claw marks for monsters, and a shield outline with sparks on a blocked hit.
  • Added the setting "Aim area skills for me". Turned off, area skills such as Fireball and Blizzard ask for their spot instead of landing where they hit the most monsters.
  • Added holy and shadow damage, which replace magic damage. Nothing resists holy damage; shadow is a full element with its own resistance, and only the Reaper resists it.

• Ranger
  • Added Hawk Stance, Wolf Stance and Bat Stance: one at a time, they change your plain attacks and drain 3% of your maximum mana a turn while a monster is awake in sight.

  • Added Bond of Light, a trait path for Radiance: Radiance cast on an ally binds you to it for 5 turns, and the ally also gets every heal you get.

Changed

• General
  • Every flat mana number is now five times what it was: mana from levels and Intelligence, mana on gear, mana potions, mana regeneration and skill costs.
  • Skill mana costs now rise by 2 at every rank instead of by 5 every 3 ranks.
  • Skill damage now rises at every rank; no two ranks of a skill deal the same damage.
  • Mana on items you already have is raised to match the new numbers.
  • Blood Magic, Energy Shield, Havoc Mage, Overdraw, Spellguard and Heat Sink now trade 5 mana where they traded 1, so they are as strong as before.
  • Life steal now works on spell hits at half the rate; weapon hits keep the full rate, and mana steal still works on weapon hits only.
  • Healing and mana potions now come in three tiers that restore a fixed amount instead of 40% of your maximum: Lesser, Greater and Grand healing potions restore 50, 150 and 450 life, and mana potions 150, 400 and 1,000 mana.
  • Potions now cost a fixed 25, 120 and 600 gold by tier instead of a price that rose with each floor.
  • Greater potions go on sale once any of your heroes has reached act 2, and Grand potions act 4.
  • Floors now drop potions of their act's tier and the tier below.
  • Full healing and full mana potions are removed; those you carried become full rejuvenation potions.
  • The merchant's wares are now laid out in a grid like the bag's, with each price in the item's tooltip.
  • Potion tiers not yet on sale are shown faded at the merchant, and their tooltip gives the price and the act that puts them on sale.
  • Town portal scrolls at the merchant now say that every boss you kill lets you buy 1 more scroll.
  • The hero's light in the dungeon is now a warmer lantern, and a torch's light shows inside it.
  • Torches now burn green in act 3, icy pale in act 4 and hotter in act 5, with embers to match.
  • Lava now has drifting crust and casts less red light on the rock around it.
  • Shadows cast by the hero's lantern are now longer and darker.
  • The light caught on the edges of figures facing a light is now much fainter.

• Items
  • Wand cast speed increased from 10% to 30%, and the Grim wand's from 15% to 35%.

• Mage
  • Teleport mana cost now drops by 4 at every rank, from 50 at rank 1 to 14 at rank 10.
• Priest
  • Heal no longer costs at least 30% of your maximum mana; it costs 25 mana at rank 1, as other spells do.
  • Sanctuary cooldown changed from 25 turns at every rank to 25 turns at rank 1, down to 19 turns at rank 10.
  • Martyr's Grace cooldown changed from 30 turns at every rank to 30 turns at rank 1, down to 23 turns at rank 10.
• Warlock
  • Terror cooldown changed from 15 turns at every rank to 15 turns at rank 1, down to 9 turns at rank 10.

Fixed

• General
  • Comparing gear no longer lists another item's bonuses as losses when taking an item off would leave that other item's requirement unmet; the comparison now shows which gear stops working and why, apart from the item's own changes.

More loot for the Loot Gods

Alright, here's the biggest update the demo has seen so far.
I really don't blame you if you cba reading all of the notes. But the TLDR is: Added gloves and boots, mobile play should be easier now, fixed a metric ton of bugs.

Beyond the demo, the full version is almost complete.

Notes are too long to post here, so read them here: https://ccfeet.itch.io/the-vile-dungeon-of-cairnmoor/devlog/1740378/more-loot-fo...

Added

• General
  • The game's version is shown at the bottom right of the main menu.
  • New trait, Sweet Spot: kills sometimes leave a glowing tile near you for a few turns, and you deal 50% more damage while standing on it. Higher ranks make monsters standing on the tile take double damage from you, and put down a new tile when the one you stand on fades.
  • New trait, Last Straw: each time monsters' hits on you add up to a third of your maximum life, your last attack or skill repeats for free on your last attacker. Higher ranks also count the damage of hits you block or dodge, and make the repeat also hit every other monster that hit you since the previous repeat.
  • New trait, Silver Lining: you get back a quarter of the damage from each hit you take as life, over the next 4 turns. Higher ranks also count damage over time, and make each kill give you at once all the life you are still getting back.
  • New general keystone, Balance of Power: a monster you hit with an element gains 25% resistance to that element and loses 50% resistance to all the others for 4 turns. This can push its resistances below zero.
  • New general keystone, Bread and Butter: your attacks can't miss and are never critical hits, but every hit deals extra damage equal to what your critical hits would add on average.
  • New general keystone, Purple Patch: after a critical hit you deal 40% more elemental damage for 8 turns, but critical hits themselves deal no extra damage.
  • New general keystone, Stiff Upper Lip: you can't dodge, and your dodge chance turns into armor. Your armor also reduces elemental damage, half as much as it reduces physical damage.
  • Your lightning now builds up an electrocute bar on monsters, and a full bar stuns them for 2 turns. On bosses and unique leaders, lightning slowly fills their stun bar instead.
• Items
  • New weapon affix: part of your physical damage is dealt as fire, cold or lightning instead. Each affix has one of the three elements.
• Shaman
  • New keystone, Back Seat: you can have one more of each kind of totem at once, but you deal no damage yourself.

Changed

• General
  • The target bar at the top of the screen now also shows a monster's resistances when they are below zero.
  • Strength's critical damage reduced from 0.5% to 0.25% per point.

• Items
  • Daggers' critical damage increased from +100% to +200%.
  • Every magic and rare one-handed weapon, wands included, now also has +1 to +3 to all skills in one skill tree.
  • Two-handed weapons no longer have +1 or +2 to all skills in one skill tree.
• Warrior
  • Crushing Blow's second rank: damage to the monsters on either side of the target reduced from 100% to 50% of Heavy Blow's damage.
• Priest
  • Wrath of the Healer no longer halves the mana cost of Heal and Renew.
• Warlock
  • Raise Skeleton now shows how much life your skeletons have and how hard they hit.
• Shaman
  • Fire Totems and Storm Totems now aim at monsters that aren't immune to their element before ones that are.

Fixed
