Getting coins from chests used to just be them just spawning around the chest and the player having to pick them up like a scrub.
Now, it's a whole lot juicier! Take a look at the satisfying result of opening a coin-filled loot chest in Lone Survivors!
(ty Godot for tweens!)

The newest feature of the Endless mode is Shrines.
Shrines currently offer a random event, intended on adding variety to the endless mode.
They range from spawning elites, bosses, or providing health!
What kind of cool blessing/curses can you think of?

Today, we let the Warrior hide behind statues... or something. 🥸
See below for before and after!
(note: hiding does not help against the monsters)

Made a bunch of minor UI adjustments:
- Map markers now say LV^ to better communicate that they increase level cap
- Added an indicator for where chests are if they are out of view
- Made the level up screen a bit more clear with background

Today I had some company over and we playtested the endless mode!
It was really nice seeing people interact with the game, and seeing what things that maybe I thought were intuitive be not so intuitive... and a lot of bugs!
(nobody topped my score)

Lone Survivors Daily: Spectral Blade
Another weapon to join the fray, the spectral blade pierces through enemies and marks them for death.
The legendary upgrade will cause your enemies to release a ghastly pulse on death.
Its... maybe too strong? Tell me your thoughts!

Lone Survivors Daily - Undying Flames
The newest ability to join the roster is the Undying Flames
Perhaps a staple ability type in this genre, this ability just damages nearby enemies over time!
It was pretty fun to make this ability, and it's been on my backlog for a bit now.

Talking about performance every day is very exciting (....maybe)
I continued to tackle performance problems. I have done two things (that will take some tweaking) to see some late game gains.
1. Reduce nodes in enemy scenes
2. Reduce navigation calls

Today was another optimization day.
I've been working on removing repeated calls to get_tree().get_first_node_in_group, so that we don't have to loop through the whole node tree repeatedly, costing performance.
I am using an autoload to store references:

I didn't get as much time to work today as usual, but I've been spending time working on adding more meta progression upgrades.
I'm satisfied with the Warrior + General upgrades, next to come for the playtest is the Barbarian.
Take a look at some below!

I am still running into performance issues, so one thing I decided is replacing all of my AnimationPlayer nodes with just using a component that tweens the animations instead.
This way, each entity doesn't NEED an animation player, just a couple of tweens!

Happy Halloween!!
Laser Eye!
I'm working on yet another ability to add to the roster!
The Laser Eye is both all-seeing and all-violent, and it targets the nearest enemy with a beam attack. One of it's rare upgrades makes it sweep at an angle!

Working on another new ability, Claws.
Claws are a short range ability, with a unique upgrade where each consecutive hit on an enemy increases their size and damage (still to be tuned)!
See the claws built, and then in action below:

It's everybody's favourite time - bugfixing time 🐛
I tackled resolving a few bugs - such as the Necromancer's graves (from his active ability) not appearing where they should!
I also continued working on abilities - with the Meteor implementation.
