Update 1.9.19 (13 February 2019)

NEW FEATURES AND MAJOR CHANGES

Companions: We have developed 9 new familiars. To get them, you need to kill a particular enemy type 10 times. Then, a special Egg will appear! After 3 days, the egg will hatch inside your farm - and your new friend is going to be ready for action! Each familiar has different mechanics. They can damage enemies, restore your life, get items for you, act as an additional chest and more!
Minibosses: We have added 8 minibosses! They will appear as guardians of the dungeons, securing gateways leading to deeper rooms. They will emerge at the end of the first and second floor in each dungeon.
Zenon’s Campfire: From now on, when you visit the dungeons at night, Zenon will be there, sitting by his campfire, ready to tell you some stories of old, about Rynoka and Moonlighter’s world. Those tales will be unlocked with the game’s progression.
Tomo Stories: We've modified and added more lines for Tomo. They should explain her relationship with Will better, shedding some light on their mutual past.
Banker Information: We have introduced a lot of special warnings and UI changes to avoid the Banker "stealing" your money. A lot of you forgot to revisit that mustachioed capitalist and were losing the investment.
Sorting Items: We've added a sorting method inside the inventory.
Get the Broom!: We’ve added the possibility to get the Broom™ from Le Retailer (if you’ve managed to lose it somehow!). The Broom™ is important for getting some achievements - so we hope you’re gonna like that little feature!
Prices Update: We’ve added a new system in the Shop to better inform whenever Item’s price gets updated.

Update 1.8.10.1 (15 October 2018)

Hello there, Merchants and Heroes!
Welcome to Adventure Update, our newest significant content patch for Moonlighter! We have worked very hard to bring this new free content to the game, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts! In short, we have added New Game+ mode, new weapons and new type of items: Amulets. On top of that, we've introduced a lot of improvements and bug fixes in this patch. Find all the juicy details below!

NEW FEATURES

NEW GAME +: Play the full Moonlighter adventure again, now with more challenging enemies and bosses! However, we don't want you to feel exposed. Use the brand new Pirate Weapons and the Amulets to your advantage!
PIRATE WEAPONS: A new full set of weapons that are crafted with dimensional pirates knowledge. Those weapons could be enchanted with elemental effects (Confusion, Poison, Fire or Electricity) to alter their power.
AMULETS: Mysterious Rings found in the dungeons will offer new abilities for the players. Be careful how you use them, though, because most of them will have some drawbacks as well!

Note: Both the Pirate Weapons and Amulets are exclusive to the NG+ Mode!

GAME SLOTS: A lot of you have requested this feature - and here it is! Now you'll be able to have more than one game slot in the game.

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

QUICK-SELLING MIRROR: One of the most community-requested features is here! Tired of selecting each item to be sold while you're adventuring? Now you'll be able to select the Mirror and just click over the elements you want to sell. Handy!

Patch 1.7.4.2 (02 August 2018)

Hello there, Merchants and Heroes!
A few short weeks ago, we have released details for Roadmap of updates for Moonlighter. Today, we are ecstatic to announce that the very first one, the More Stock Update, is already available for all PC players — for free! The update will follow on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 over the coming weeks so be sure to follow all our channels to stay up to date!

NEW FEATURES

100 new rooms!
We have added 100 more room patterns to the game! We’ve also introduced another brand new element to the mix: the puddles. They are going to poison Will in the forest, burn him in the Desert and electrify his hero-wannabe guts in the Tech dungeon. This new element has given us more possibilities to design new rooms. Poor Will... No worries, though - we have also added more rooms without puddles!
Special post-boss room
From now on, after defeating Boss in a dungeon - you can re-enter his chamber to find it crawling with monsters! This new room will provide an extra challenge - beat it quick enough to unlock all three chests. The chest timer will stop whenever you kill ALL the enemies. So, if you're a slowpoke - only one or two chests will be unlocked for you. Only true Heroes deserve the most handsome rewards!
About the chests themselves: each one is related to the kind of chest that you can find in each floor, so the first one will probably be a wooden chest or a silver chest. However, the second one will probably be a silver or a gold one! And - as you can already expect - the third one could even be the purple, magical one! This gives you different possibilities and motivation to go back to the dungeons that you've already finished.
Oh, and by the way: those chests have more loot than the standard ones that you normally find in the dungeons!
New armor skins
Now, every time you decide (and you should!) to upgrade piece of armor it will have a different aesthetic associated with the dungeon, also the armor icon will be different.
New visual effects for enchanted weapons
We’ve added new particle FX for enchanted weapons that are triggering whenever you use the weapon. The FX has 3 different levels that are associated with each enchantment level. So, the more enchanted weapon - the cooler it becomes!
On top of that, we’ve added a little glint effect that it is applied to the icon of an enchanted weapon inside the inventory, so you can identify enchanted weapons easier.

New in-game tutorials

We have added these scrolls that will appear whenever you upgrade your shop and and some kind of new feature appears. We’ve prepared these new tutorials for:
Decoration items (Shop level 2)
Wealthy customers (Shop level 2)
Quests (Shop level 3)
Crystal showcases (Shop level 3)
Shop Helper (Shop level 4)

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

Adding Skip button in starting cutscene
Removed tourist bubble icon. Tourists and rich people work basically the same - so there is no point to differentiate them from the UI-standpoint.

Soft lock upon starting a new game by overwriting previous save
Inconsistency in Banker’s prices
No longer possible to open Inventory during Intro cutscene
Updated Chinese and Japanese translations
FPS Drop after resuming game from an extended “soak” on pause menu

Dungeon blocker after killing first monster mini-wave before the second appears in Enemy Waves Secret room
No longer possible to open inventory between two stages of the final boss fight
Crash on picking up an item that was dropped on death in Tutorial Dungeon

Items from previous sale were displayed on sales summary if the game was quit before closing shop
No longer possible to receive two quests requesting the same item

Patch 1.6.9.0 (19 July 2018)

MAJOR CHANGES

New Items' Popularity System!

We've received a lot of feedback about game's economy and decided to adjust that. This is one of the biggest changes introduced to our game so far - 'cause it really alters the general feeling of Moonlighter's economy. Popularity system now highly affects when people decide buy or don't buy items. Better be prepared to actively swap those items so your shop can prosper! Also, from now on, Rich and Tourist type of customers can buy from any place, not only the crystal showcases. We've also modified the crystal showcases themselves: every item you put there is going to have an increased popularity level and it's going to be protected from those pesky thieves!

Last used price is now saved

Ok, we admit: that was kind of annoying. Every time you were putting a price for a new item - it always went back to zero until you sold it. This was also frustrating with thieves, because you could forget the price you used. Now, if you don't know the good price, the system will remember the last price you've set. Yay!

Improved Horde Room

We have improved the animations for this room and it works slightly different. Now, for every "round" inside the Horde Room you will have to select: open the chest or keep fighting? So you won't be able to open all the chests anymore. We believe it adds a little bit more risk and spices up the experience.

Buying multiple Potions

A highly requested feature, indeed! Now you can buy up to 99 potions at the same time from the Witch!

Patch 1.4 (4 June 2018)

GENERAL PATCH NOTES

Key binding improvements (some extra freedom and mouse button support). We might continue to improve this, let us know if this helps a little.
Bug fixing, as much as possible as soon as possible after our release. There will still be bugs but we will keep working, your feedback has been super helpful. Thank you!
We've added a special logging system to the game that will allow you to send us more information when something crazy happens, so we can find and smash those dirty bugs.
Other minor improvements (mostly following requests from you and/or our own ideas)

IMPROVEMENTS

Key binding now allows for independent binding of each key separating Will actions and GUI actions on both Keyboard, Mouse Buttons and Controllers
There is a "default key binding" available
Now sleep is activated by holding the action button So - yeah. We've listened to your feedback and now you can totally redefine your controls the way you like it. No limitations - as we're all different and we like to play games our own way. However, we have a layout to propose, that you may want to give a try. This is a special layout loved by our QA department and here it is:

Will section

Main Attack - LMB (Left Mouse Button) Pendant Shortcut - F Secondary Attack - RMB (Righ Mouse Button) Inventory - MMB (Middle Mouse Button) Change Weapon - Q !

GUI section

Interact - LMB (Left Mouse Button) Close - RMB (Righ Mouse Button) Back - MMB (Middle Mouse Button)

Of course - that's a layout that we really like. Feel free to suggest yours, though! We'd love to hear your opinion - so for the next patch we could maybe include it as a preset - ready to be selected by other players!
