- Slumbering Patch and New game trailer! - 29 May 2024
Greetings and salutations! I am happy to announce that Midnight Horde got an alpha trailer and Source of Madness got lots of fixes and improvements! Okay back to the actual Patch! Major Changes Exiting the safe save scene now saves the run so if it crashes you should be able to replay from there anyway. But not if you die or exit the run. Monster melee combat overhaul Monsters & Combat Monsters should be slightly stronger and faster with their limbs Monster attack timings are now much faster, but their attack window is shorter which should give more interesting fights. Added some more monster classes to difficulty 1 that only existed on difficulty 2 before Changed how force is applied on attacks that should result in fewer super jumps Limb damage can now propagate 0 damage to the main body instead of 1 which nerfs some lower level attacks that are smaller than 5. Nerfed hp on laser flie…

- Balance patch in the Beta Branch - 2 July 2023
Hi everyone! So I have done some balance work and tweaks based on feedback in the reviews. Mostly adressing early game cheese with some aoe weapons and nightmare difficulty boss hp. This patch is not live in the main branch but exist in the patchtesting branch. The main part is that I have nerfed and reworked how much damage dealt to a limb is propegated back to the main body of the monster. Hopefully this will mean that it is harder to cheese monsters, but also that it will result in more body parts being blown off and a bit more challenging early on. On top of this I have removed the damage propagation on some aoe weapons that dealt low damage per attack but ended up being a bit too OP when you hit all of the different body parts at the same time. Though I did not nerf this on bosses and elite (big ones) because that would make the game too hard. I have lowered the hp and damage scali…
