  Sun Down Patch 1.3

  Hey everyone! It's Director Bruce with a patch to rebalance the whole game, fix some bugs, and add dozens of points of polish to the game! While Sun Down Survivors started as a game that was incredibly difficult, as time has gone on, players have improved dramatically-- even new players, who have gained EXP through playing other games across the genre. So while a lot of these balance changes are targeted towards making the game difficulty curve slightly smoother, they also just make game more difficult to accommodate all the extra level ups players have had across the genre. Survivors genre games are simply just more fun when the game challenges you to make tough decisions and try new different builds or characters. Along with this patch to rebalance the game, for next patch, we're also going to be adding in a final boss and add more depth to the game to make more deep builds. We can't wait to show you what we're working on! Balance Changes: intimidation Spell is now only available on Darius Increased Elite Shadeclaw HP from 1200 -> 1400 Increased Mammooth's HP from 2000 to 2500 Slightly Increased Mammooth's movement speed Lion HP 250 -> 275 Fire Octopus HP 425 -> 475 Mole HP: 600 ->700 Yellow Ghost HP: 100 -> 115 Fall Slime: 275 HP -> 300 Torto (Wave) HP 350 -> 375 Angry Dog HP 275 -> 300 Top Off: 25 HP restored per level -> 20 Bulk Up 40 Max HP -> 35 Max HP Vitality(2) from Medium Difficulty Camps 70 Max HP -> 50 Bugfix: Hand of Gold(2) from Medium Difficulty Camps now correctly grants 6% Chicken Friend(2) from Medium Difficulty Camps: Grants 2 Chickens for 20% reduced damage -> 22% Reduced Damage Chicken Friend(3) from Hard Difficulty Camps: Grants 3 chickens for 10% reduced damage -> 20% Reduced Damage Hand of Gold: 8% Chance to drop 5 gold -> 9% Might(3) From Hard Difficulty Camps: +24% damage -> +20% damage Vitality(3): 100 Max HP -> 60 Max HP First Strike: 30% Increased damage to targets who are full HP -> 25% Pets: William Scale's arrow projectile speed: 10 ...
