GAMEPLAY -Previously, the range check on Visions would only consider the distance between the player and the center of the Vision, regardless of its size. Range will now consider the edges of the Vision's body FIXES -Optimized some per-frame math calculations to ease CPU load -Optimized in-game HUD to ease CPU load

-Fixed crash that could occur during Caster recharge -Fixed crash that could occur when swapping to a different Caster in-game -Fixed issue where Final Vision could spawn with a much lower-than-intended amount of health -Fixed issue where projectiles created from FX that added additional shots would not be cleaned up properly, causing memory leak and performance degradation over time

USER FEEDBACK VERSION Thank you for all of the feedback over the past months. I have been working on suggestions and bug fixes that were brought up in the past few weeks. This update fixes most of the issues you may have experienced, and has incorporated most of the gameplay feedback to bring more FUN. -Extraction Mode map creation logic much more robust and random now, and fixed issue where Boss room may not be accessible -When clearing an Extraction room, all loot will travel to the player position. If it cannot be picked up at that time, it can be picked up if the player traverses back (i.e. Energy drops when at max, or Chests without a Transient Key) -Accepted Duties can now be abandoned by swiping them left from the Duties screen -Casters with Closest Target priority will now always look for closer Visions instead of getting tunnel vision hellamental has a ton of Casters and random abilities, so it’s important to put those in your hands. The following changes should result in more Casters and being able to craft your own Casters, FX Imprints, and Implants at a far higher rate. -Reduced crafting costs across the board -Doubled the rate of Transient Key and Chest drops -Non-gem crafting materials drop 2x as much -Mementos (for crafting Casters) drop 5x as much UI -The Implant Install screen is bigger now FIXES -Fixed issue where Bosses and Miniboss loot drop magnetism would send loot that couldn’t be picked up by the player to Timbuktu -Fixed issue where installing an Implant on a Caster with an existing Implant could result in loss of both Implants -Fixed issue where Implant Slot #2 was not available for Casters with Lv. 20 Proficiency -Adjusted Resurrection timing to resolve an issue where the player would not be in the state of resurrection and take damage within a single frame, causing hard lock or instant death. -Duties for surviving X amount of minutes are now limited to Horde Mode -Fixed issue where listers would be overcharged for listing Implants and FX Imprints on the Bazaar -Fixed issue where the first tap of a Caster in the Inventory screen would pull up the first Caster in Inventory instead. No, you were not going crazy.

This update addresses an issue where users without iCloud enabled or a full iCloud could not play. When iCloud is non-operational, a local save will be created. Players without iCloud cannot participate with trade with other players. If, in the future, a player enables iCloud, or creates free space in iCloud, the game will use iCloud and the local save will be isolated. Local save data cannot be transferred to a cloud save, and vice versa. Casters, Memories, Materials, Implants, and FX Imprints are isolated between save types. All other progress is persisted between local and cloud saves. In the event of a local save and cloud save, users will need to disable or enable iCloud depending on which save they’d like to use. This will be made more accessible in a future update. I strongly discourage toggling iCloud on and off unless absolutely necessary due to potential for incomplete syncs, which could result in data loss! BALANCE -Resurrecting now knocks Visions back very far -When Big and Specialized Casters are unequipped, they will begin a slowed recharge process similar to Basic Casters when they expended shots. An equitable portion of energy will be used depending on how much the Caster needed to be recharged to full. FIXES -Players can resurrect in Horde Mode after defeating the Final Vision and dying -Fixed several memory leaks -Optimized some math -Scroll performance on Level Information screens improved -When crafting a material, upon completion the listing of materials is immediately updated with new counts

BALANCE In the early game, specifically the time after reaching higher difficulty levels and still finding or crafting more powerful Casters & build crafting, Visions had too much HP. The problem would be exacerbated by level modifiers that could occur in some levels such as doubling Vision HP on top of that. Elite Visions, Miniboss Visions, and Final Boss Visions had HP multipliers that would stack to create too much of a wall for progressing players. In harder levels with more abundant Elite Visions, this was a problem. The following adjustments have been made: -Reduced Elite Vision HP by over 50% depending on game mode -Reduced Miniboss Vision HP by over 30% depending on game mode -Reduced Final Boss HP by over 25% depending on game mode

GAMEPLAY -Casters in Extraction Lairs will now avoid clipping through bounds UI -Added “Change Loadout” button to Level screens under Recommended Elements -Toned down onscreen damage effect due to performance hiccups on some devices -Settings screen UI updates FIXES -Fixed issue where minimap could be obscured by environmental effects -Fixed some instances where elemental effects could remain where Visions were erased -Fixed some instances where Resurrection may lead to a purgatory type state -Fixed issue where slotting a Blade Caster in Slot 1 could result in an infinite reload until it was stowed and re-equipped -Fixed some instances where background may not tile throughout entire Extraction Lairs

-Basic Casters will now recharge when stowed, regardless of current charges. Re-equipping them during recharge will reset recharge and make them immediately available to cast if they had remaining charges when stowed. BALANCE -Reduced XP needed to raise Mastery Level of Casters by 25% -Increased Bomb XP gains by 100% FIXES -Fixed issue where Main Menu item numbers would not reflect updated values -Fixed issue where Duties menu item may show 2 instead of an accurate number (Accurate number should be Available Duties + Duties ready to turn in) -Fixed issue where Duties cost was not properly factoring in Stimulant cost reduction

-Added toggle for Auto-run when using On-screen Joystick in the Settings screen -Fixed issue where Duties were not appearing in Duties screen

-Fixed issue where GameCenter achievements may not have been properly tracked. All progress towards achievements will be retroactively applied on next startup.

-Fixed issue where ineligible Casters may have been available to list in the Bazaar. Listing such Casters may have invoked a rupture of space and time under certain circumstances -Casters purchased from the Bazaar and Casters renamed to “” will now have their default name displayed and not their internal identifier

FEATURES -All Player Data is now synced via iCloud. The current sync status of iCloud is displayed at the top right of the Start Screen. -Mementos will now be sorted by amount in the Inventory Screen. These were previously sorted by an internal identifier of the Vision/Caster which would make the sorting appear random BALANCE -Agile Casters are intended to be close ranged and “in the mix”, rewarding players who are not scared to go into swarms of Visions blasting. In a first pass attempt to make them more effective, the minimum Recharge (Reload) stat on all Agile Casters has been increased to 60. Their effectiveness will continue to be monitored. FIXES -Fixed issue where duplicate default Casters may be created and causing Welcome Screen to infinitely appear -Fixed issue where Upgrades in the Upgrades Screen may not update to reflect proper values and state. All Upgrades and spendable Lucid Experience Points have been reset for free to be redistributed at your discretion -Evading Vision melee attacks or Resisting Vision ranged attacks will no longer trigger damage feedback -Materials in the Inventory Screen will now remain in place after selling or refreshing

Features -Added “Pick Me Up” Reverie. This Reverie will heal a percentage of max health when leveling up -Added ambience to Invalid Robot Dept. (Horde) -Updated background texture for Raid Encounters (Extraction) -Updated background textures for With Alotta Love and Retro Nostalgia (Horde) Balance -Adjusted some Vision movement behavior in Squids N Stuff (Horde) -Lowered Process Requirements in Squids N Stuff (Horde) -Adjusted Material drop loot pool for all Visions Fixes -Fixed issue where Apple Account sign-in may unexpectedly prompt -Fixed issue where Visions with erratic movement behavior may be staggered indefinitely when hit -Fixed issue where Swarm Visions may track player instead of moving along their fixed paths UI -Updated Sell/Salvage popups in Inventory screen
