I recently went to a music festival called Meredith here in Australia, and I took the plush Makeship sent me as an example with me. I got all kinds of funny photos, here is some of them below!It was such a good time. Lifetime memories being made, Ninajirachi was my personal favorite! I also uploaded some video clips to the Picayune Discord and to my Twitter if you want to see those. If you want to buy an Izu for yourself and support the dev team, you can click here!Otherwise, I hope everyone is doing well! I'm working on m…

- 1.1.0.18 - 5 April 2025
Change: Skill Loadouts should now turn red immediately if you have less skillpoints, instead of requiring a mouseover. Change: Modding API has been expanded further. (Thank you, TabularElf!) Images and sounds can now be replaced, and there's examples of these mods in the mods folder. Fix: Fixed an interaction between free glitched Rerolls and the skill that let you use Blackholes as rerolls. Fix: Fixed Demon Horns ring not properly aligning after previous changes. Fix: Fixed C4 description to have the updated damage. Fix: Optimized suit would make "Drill Versions" go up by 2 wrongly, now they go up by just 1.

- 1.1.0.16 - 30 March 2025
Change: Collection and Settings scrollbar now has a bit of deadzone when using gamepad analog. Change: XP cans setting has been reverted to 1 for everyone. Because this setting was in the game prior to the Contamination update, and then reintroduced, there was a lot of people who had the option disabled prior, forgot about it and then suddenly had performance issues unsure what had changed. This is just to put everyone back to what they'd expect, and everyone who wants it off can just turn it off again. Change: Skill Loadouts will now tell you how many skillpoints were invested into it, and also warn you if you have less than that amount, so you don't ruin your loadouts when prestiging. Change: Optimization pass on XP cans. Fix: Fixed an issue where Ban #10 wouldn't be saved when changing loadouts. Fix: Psycho Helmet didn't properly scale with GameSpeed. Fix: Beating a run with 0 upgrad…

Buff: Lighter fire damage increase, 2 > 3. Nerf: Demon Horns per level range decrease, 4 > 1.5. Nerf: Demon Horns damage, 125 > 100. Buff: Missing Award elemental chances, 0.01 > 0.05.

Change: Multiple Yoyos can be created on the same frame instead of just one. Fix: Changed how 50 Mortality Boss calculates its phases, to remove some softlocks. Fix: When an area's…

Added: Gave Elemental suit a unique passive. Buff: Elemental suit starting cooldown changed from -50% to -20%. Nerf: Elemental suit all starting elements dropped from 5 to 3. Change: Modding API updated, you can now enable mods independently with the ini file in the game folder. Change: The chosen upgrades on the right side HUD will raise and lower if you have so many that it would be normally obscured by the HUD and go offscreen. Buff: 'Leech Education' has been renamed to 'Universal Education', and now works on Eggcats, Turrets and Daggerfish. Buff: Flamethrower cooldown, 7.5 > 5. Buff: Midas Hand damage buff, VERSION * XP_MOD > ((2 * VERSION) + 10) * XP_MOD. Buff: Funky Carrot cleansehit reduced, 20 > 10. Buff: Funky Carrot lifetime increased, 10 + VERSION > 20 + VERSION.

Change: Doubled the amount of backups the game makes. Change: Halo's description is updated. Change: Catspeak modding API has been reimplemented and you can now mess with it.

- 1.0.1.10 - 9 March 2025
Added: Gave Versatile suit a unique passive. Change: Centas can no longer pass through wormholes, due to issues with their bound spinning bullets flying super duper fast. I might fix this later, but for now, consider it a funny quirk about the centas. hehe :) Change: Even more themes were added to the 'randomize song' pool. Change: After 50 Mortality, even more songs are added to the pool. Change: Defense Turrets will now individually randomly choose if they should defend you or if they should shoot the enemy nearest to them. Effectively doing both about 50% of the time. Change: In the collection, if you've surpassed 25 Mortality, the newer basic enemy sprites will show. Change: Thanks to CryptixDT in the Discord: Optimizations have been made to the Core and how it calculates damage when a high amount of them are equipped. Fix: Fixed a bug where flawlessing the Biker wouldn't give you t…

- 1.1.0.8 - 25 February 2025

Change: Made it more obvious you need to click ON the arrows to adjust Overdrive. Change: Monthlies and Dailies are unlocked by default now. Change: The Chainsword will no longer 'automatically' unlock if you owned the associated achievement prior to the update.

Change: Decreased the spawn-weight of Snipers, Warpers, Exploders and Droids. Change: Higher antilag levels increases XP Cans 'xp sucking' size. Change: Sentry 'circle' now has a maximum range, to avoid situations where there are so many that they are so far away that they are no longer viable.
- 1.0.1.6 - 23 February 2025
Fix: Wrong number in outfit description. Fix: Issues with Nothing items. Fix: Fixed an issue where some achievements were tied to Cyl dying, not considering her 'returning.' Fix: More changes in the Texture Pages Fix: Fixed a variety of XP giving methods making it through the Solar Flare modifier. Fix: Rigorous wasn't checking for Ghost kill. Fix: Optional bosses will check to see if another dialog is already happening before spawning. Fix: Fixed a bug where having auto-upgrade on while your mouse was over an upgrade would instantly select that one instead. Change: Starting the process of swapping out all ds_lists for simpler arrays, for optimization. Tell me if you notice any weirdness! Change: Banning an item will only return an item you already own now.
