This is the biggest content patch since release! I wanted to focus on the health of the game and make it more accessible. There's also a few easter eggs not mentioned here... (Hotfixes at the bottom of the notes)
Featuring: +29 New Spells (Calamity for all Brands!) +32 New Artifacts Mod sandbox Lots of Accessibility settings ("easy" mode, hold movement, readability) Profiles/Save slots Pick and Choose Hell Passes New Saffron Bossfight
It'll most likely be hitting consoles sometime next year.
--NEW Spells-- Absorb Ambush Barrier Cataclysm Chrono Sphere Deck Shield Downfall Haven Holy Ground Inverter Jackhammer Jam Shield Meltdown Overload Paragon Ramjet River Salvo Sawstorm Shadow Shift Silo Sleight Slice Spike Strip Stinger Sunbeamer Sunder Weed Wacker Wonder
--NEW Artifacts-- Anvil Bolt Action Censor Bar Cobra Care Cryophage Curacao Delta Golden Cat Ice Sculpture Kabob Life Jacket Monocle Multitool Muzzle Brake Nerve Gas Pendulum Piggy Bank Replicant Second Breakfast Sinkhole Spike Protein Survival Kit Symbiosis Thermophage Transmission Trap Card Trident Tutu Umbrella Viral Transmitter Water Wheel XD-40 Z-Cell
--Bosses-- Saffron Boss fight completely reworked Now attacks with ~40 different pre-programmed spell "combo chains" at 4 different tiers She also throws her Plushie behind her instead of in front! And is overall much smarter and scarier!~
Selicy Special Holiday stuff
--Characters-- Terra: Starting Kit Mine -> Poison Tails
--Quality of Life-- Added a luck symbol flash on Bunny death Weapon info can now be viewed on the Deck Screen Fixed previews for many spells Assists no longer block movement Certain dark icons brightened (Monsoon and world icons) Updated Removal tooltip to reflect that it can remove artifacts and pacts too Made Serif's dialogue hint more towards not being a true ending after the Gate Worlds where bosses have been killed will now show up as red in the map and have a skull Viewable map during the rewards screen
--Settings-- Hold to Skip option Hold to Move option Stop Music on Pause Menu Readability Mode - increases size of card descriptions and hides flavor text
Angel Mode ("easy" mode) - reduces damage taken and enemy/boss speed by a %, increasing by 2% every time you die (max 50%). All achievements can still be obtained this way. Character has a halo while this is on. (Removed the halo you get from saving hostages). It's separated into two sliders and can be toggled on and off at any time.
Hopefully this optional accessibility mode allows more people to enjoy the game without removing all the challenge for it. I liked the idea of making the game slightly easier, the more the player dies, so that they are always making progress!
--Systems-- Profile/Save slots system, Brand and Icon are based on last chosen Hell Passes are now individually selectable! (The hell pass 14 achievement can be completed with only hell pass 14 active)
--Bug Fixes-- Shield will properly search in the Library Hell passes can no longer be removed after continuing a run lol
--Modding-- Mod installation speed increased 700% yay! Extra taunt animation slots for taunt2 - taunt5 (for your custom animations) Extra triggers, effects, checks, etc. Auto load mods on startup Checkbox Min and Max appended to amount values i.e. "10+CurrentCardtridges*10|20/200"
--Sandbox-- Added an xml file "TestZone.xml" for choosing how you want to set up your test environment. It boots directly into the scene you choose, along with the console and cheat menu being enabled! You can change the enemies and other world variables in Zones.xml. There is also a "developer" sandbox (with the game in debug mode) on the Steam beta branch! Example path for XML files: "C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonOne Step From EdenOSFE_DataStreamingAssetsData"
There's more info at the bottom of TestZone.xml Join discord.gg/OSFE #modding for more info!
--Balance Changes-- Weapons now pierce Defense, this includes Gunner's weapons Flames no longer pierce Defense Hell Pass 11 - Evil Hostages have a chance to spawn with normal Hostages instead of replacing them (except for Distress zones where they can replace them) Storm spells can no longer get the Frost upgrade Luck for each "None" Focus: 1->2 Improved Kunai range consistency Spintail enemies now fire less shots so you're not stuck waiting as long Various Flower artifact HP Losses lowered Shuffle staleness cap 2->3s Shuffle staleness multiplier 0.1->0.15s (increases shuffle time after every shuffle)

Also increased her delay before moving slightly. Pendulum now decreases poison duration by a percentage so it can be infinitely stacked Prophecy now hits 6 tiles instead of 4 (2 on player side) Fixed a bug where the next hell pass would not unlock if the hell pass button was not clicked before the run. Fixed a bug where a missing translation would cause the game to get stuck (i.e. on pet artifact rewards) Skulls from world icons will be removed properly on new runs Gave Boss Saffron pauses between her combos at high tiers Fix mods not install on profile 2 and 3 Fix a crash when removing a spell and closing menu Overload can no longer get on hit upgrades since it doesn't "hit"

If you don't want the game to run in background, you can turn off Menu Music.
--Ending Note-- Most of these features came directly from you, the community and I'm happy to finally add them to the game! Thank you for sticking around and coming up with these great ideas!
After the last patch in April, I realized I was pretty burnt out and needed a break from OSFE. I know the extra settings took a while to come out, so I'm sorry for the wait. I still love the game and really enjoy working on it.
What's next? I've attempted adding online multiplayer but I've decided it will require making a whole other standalone game. I may experiment with that in the future. In the meantime I'm always working on something!
Feel free to follow any future work I do here: Twitter.com/ThomasMoonKang
Happy Holidays~ -Thomas
