0.3.5 Release


0.3.5

World Map

  • The world map is here! This replaces the original backgrounds in HFI
  • Class locations are marked on the world map (the Farmhand's farm, for example), as well as Squire Dungeons (more on that later)
  • Added a button to hide most of the UI and see the world map unhindered
  • This is an evergreen system that will continue to be expanded with new functionality

Squire

  • Tiers of enemies have become Dungeons!
  • Instead of fighting all of the enemies in a linear fashion, they are now bundled into Dungeons
  • When the first boss is defeated, you unlock the ability to immediately start fighting Goblins in the second Dungeon, even after a rebirth
  • Dungeons appear on the world map and can be selected from there as well
  • Removed the Fight Boss button; bosses are now simply the final enemy of the Dungeon

Researcher

  • Big balance pass on the Researcher, including:
  • Overall a fairly large XP buff across the board; you'll see many perks have XP or more XP on them, as well as Shop Items
  • A couple perks now buff Random Research pages (Random is supposed to be weaker than the targeted Subjects, but it was much too weak to feel useful)
  • Gold got a fairly large buff as well. Harder books to complete now reward more gold per second compared to easier books
  • The "Book Complete" UI now displays how much gold per second that completed book is making for you
  • Cost of most Researcher Shop Items have been lowered significantly (To allow them to be unlocked quicker during a run)
  • Epiphany now rewards double the amount of pages (This is true for Rank 1 and Rank 2)
  • Professional Development now rewards 500% XP (up from 50%), but now reduces page gain by 75% (down from 50%)

Other Changes

  • The icon for HFI on the Windows task bar will now flash if the game is out of focus and you either gained an achievement or a rebirth stat
  • Rewrote some of the story and added a couple new story moments for the Squire (You can always check up on the Story in the Story Recap area of the Achievements window)
  • Fixed a couple tooltip issues with the book "Automating: Easy as Carrots"
  • Did a significant pass on UI consistency; cleaned up a fair amount of minor UI issues
