📒 FINAL STAGE UPDATE - LOGBOOK 1 📒

Hello everyone, I hope you're well 😎

As you know, we are gradually approaching the most important update of the year, the one that will introduce the Final Stage and allow the addition of many features afterward.

Several features will be released at the same time of the Final Stage, as they are essential for the proper functioning of the game. Below, you will find a summary of the Final Stage as well as the features that will be included in the update.

-------------------------------------------

✦ REMAKE BUFFS & DEBUFFS : Overhaul of buffs and debuffs for better balance with the new content.

✦ INTERSECTION : Addition of all the new features inside. Also, don't forget that you can only make one choice per intersection; once you've made your choice, you must continue your run. For example, it will not be possible for you to choose both the Saloon and the Town Doctor at the same intersection.

✦ NEW MECHANICS

✷ Totems : (See the Black Market section).

✷ Save system : In case of defeat at a stage, you'll be able to resume the game from your last save. If you lose and don't have a save, it's GAME OVER. Additionally, certain elements in the game can erase your current saves. See the Saloon section for more information.

✷ Fever

During certain stages, a flame will appear in the corner of the screen, indicating that you cannot use the pause function. For now, this feature will only be available for the Final Stage, but it could reappear in new types of stages or in a different form later on.

You'll be able to bypass this with a totem obtainable in the Black Market, however, it will have a limited number of uses.

✷ Win condition

Cum to the last cum point of one of the 3 bosses of the Final Stage. More information in the Final Stage section.

✷ Roguelike system

If you manage to beat the Final Stage, you will randomly obtain a unique permanent buff that you can keep for future runs.

-------------------------------------------

✦ FINAL STAGE

Mechanics : Fever Time, No cum points except for the last one of each round, Multiple choices/paths.

The FS is a 3-hour video with multiple paths. Before you can play this stage, you will need to gather a certain number of skulls depending on the difficulty you are playing at.

There are multiple paths for each round. You will need to roll a D20 to determine which door you should take. However, you will also be able to pay a certain amount to choose the door instead of using the D20.

If you successfully pass all the rounds, you will have to face one of the 3 bosses, which you will also need to choose by rolling a D20 or by paying a certain amount.

FEVER : At times, you will see a flame appear in the corner of the screen, indicating that you cannot use the 'pause' function . Indeed, you read that correctly... Even if you make it to the Final Stage with a ton of $, it will not guarantee your victory. However, some totems will allow you to bypass certain rules, including the Fever one, but only a limited number of times, so be cautious.

---------------------

✦ SALOON

Originally, it was planned to allow saving with the cumpoints, but for now, that won't be the case. To save your current run, you'll need to use the Saloon.

The saloon will be one of the intersection choices that will be regularly improved with new features added over time, but for now, it will mainly allow you to save your current run.

You will have the choice between 2 rooms for the night: The classic and the deluxe:

Classic Room : You pay $10,000 and then roll a D2. If you roll a 1, you can save; if you roll a 2, you lose an additional $10,000 and cannot save. If you cannot pay the additional amount, you lose the game and your previous saves is erased.

Deluxe Room : You pay $40,000 and save the game.

---------------------

✦ TOWN DOCTOR

This intersection allows you to remove a debuff of your choice for $10,000. Each time this intersection is used, the cost is doubled.

---------------------

✦ BLACK MARKET

The Black Market allows you to buy totems, these are extremely powerful buffs and useful for your run. There are several rarity levels for the totems (currently 3), and you can only possess one totem of the same rarity level.

-------------------------------------------

✦ CONCLUSION

As you can see, there’s quite a lot planned for the Final Stage update. Originally, the FS was supposed to be only 1.5 hours, but I felt that it limited me too much in creating good rounds, so I decided not to hold back, which resulted in a 3-hour stage.

This update is truly massive and could be a bit delayed, however I am doing everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. You can stay updated on the progress of this update on the Discord.

There will likely be fewer stage releases until the update is out (probably 2 per month at most), or they will be shorter stages. I'm sure you will understand 😅.

Thank you for continuing to support me through this Patreon, and thanks to everyone who has stayed subscribed and even upgraded their subscription due to the recent changes 🫡.

🚨 Lieutenant+ members will have access to the features as soon as they are ready while the other subscription tiers will receive the update content all at once, but probably much later. 🚨

⚠️ Once this update is finished, I plan to create a roadmap for the rest of the year. Additionally, there will likely be a roadmap at the beginning of each year. ⚠️
