Echo #109: Relic rework
Hey all, this is just a quick post about the current status of the game's development.
Hey all, this is just a quick post about the current status of the game's development.
So, first of all, yes, I am currently working on a relic rework update.
It's pretty much done, this is what changes it'll bring:
After that, I'm thinking about doing the set rework. I think I'll finally nerf Lodeon's Ultimatum and rework Oesa's Radiance, Kithalia's Blight, and Etherion's Clash sets.
I also might add a new mission type - something to add some visual variety to the game.
So that's the news for now, until next time!
PS.: I almost forgot to mention - I will update the Steam library assets. Don't know when, so just hang in there.

The plan is to release all that and more next Saturday.

Update! Relic rework and endgame changes + Belarusian translation added
Better endgame, better relics, Belarusian translation, and more!
Endgame changes:
Decayed fragments required to create deterioration relics: Reduced from 1000 to 100. There's no reason to keep more casual players from getting Arcane Arsenal achievement. Including myself =]
Level 30+ alloy container vendor stock: Increased from 3 alloy containers to 22. Made getting those transient containers less of a hassle.
At max spaceship level: Altered Instance and Absolute Deterioration multipliers now also affect the experience. That means millions of Ascension XP!
Altered part drop chance in altered instances: Increased by 20%.
Relic rework:
Renamed to Cor's Voidmass.
Effect changed to: If your spaceship has no compressed parts installed: Triples core attributes.
Belarusian translation:
Added Belarusian translation by LEX.by - keep in mind that it's not perfect.
Have fun!

Major update! Set rework and endgame shortcut
This update is an attempt to even out power levels of the sets. Lodeon's Ultimatum should no longer be the only set capable of reaching 10+ waves in Absolute Deterioration.
The new and improved set effects:

If your spaceship's installed abilities are of the same color:
Weapon damage is multiplied by X
The multiplier is based on the number of weapons installed
Armor generated by armor generation is added to base maximum armor
Armor generation is doubled
Always active:
+10% armor generation per Etherion's Clash set component installed
Cor's Voidmass
If your spaceship has no compressed parts installed:
Triples core attributes
+10 levels to Unload, Detonate, and Attract Mines abilities per weapon installed
Maximum armor is multiplied by 1 + 0.01 per alloy used during the mission
Capped at 1000 alloy
Always active:
+5% to core attributes per Cor's Voidmass set component installed
Ultranid's Torment
Cooldowns of all abilities are set to 0.5 seconds
Activating an ability deals damage to your spaceship

+10% damaging wave damage per every damaging wave chance percent that is above the cap
Current damaging wave chance: X%
Current damaging wave damage: X%
Always active:
+10% damaging wave damage per Ultranid's Torment set component installed
Kithalia's Blight
Maximum ether and maximum armor is multiplied by blight multiplier
When ether reaches 100%:

The multiplier is based on the number of weapons installed
Always active:

Oesa's Radiance
Weapon damage is multiplied by 1 + 0.01 per 1000 ether
3 seconds invincibility after an enemy is destroyed
Always active:
+10% maximum ether per Oesa's Radiance set component installed
Azimar's Killframe
Weapon limit is equal to the part limit
Ether is removed
Damage reduction is halved and the reduction cap is set to 100%
Your spaceship takes damage when a minion is destroyed
Damage is equal to 10% of weapon damage
Nuke ability damage is multiplied by X
The multiplier is based on the number of installed parts that increase ability levels
Always active:
+10% weapon damage per Azimar's Killframe set component installed
Lodeon's Ultimatum
Base weapon damage is equal to 100% of the maximum armor
Effect strength is based on the number of parts installed
Every second the damage is dealt to your spaceship

Endgame shortcut
The endgame is now more accessible than ever!

Update! QoL, auto-fire improvements, relic fixes
Hey all,
The update is live on Steam and Itch.io!
Here are the changes:
See the new possible avatars above - there are many more combinations, of course.
(Avatar can be changed at any time via settings, no need to start a new game!)
It's a small thing, but I wanted to add something new for long-time buyers.
Note:
In case of critical errors, the previous game version is available via betas.
Steam Library > Sector Six > Properties > Betas > Enter: fallbackbranch > Select: Fallback branch
Please report any errors, this update has touched some of the very old code, and consequences are hard to predict and test.
(Also, the Linux version of the game will be updated within the next few days)
Anyway, thank you very much for everything and...
Until next time!

- UI now indicates which abilities are on auto-fire.

- 3 inventory pages are now the new default.

- Fixed: Pause menu 'controller cursor' was not usable.
- Fixed: Broken Infinity UI shows "NaN".
- Fixed: Setting instance severity via Infinity Instances increases altered part chances globally.

- Fixed: Mission overview shows incorrect difficulty rewards when viewing a story mission.
- Fixed: Alloy container ether/armor on kill boost was not updated when the container was removed.

Update! Limitless inventory
Hey all,
The yearly support/QoL patch is here!
The key feature of this update is limitless inventory: If you trust your PC to handle it, it is now possible to disable the inventory limit and play with dozens of inventory pages.
It does come with loading times with sorting and selling hundreds of parts, but it may be a good alternative for some.
Have fun!
Change list:
If you wish to be similarly involved, you can join the developer's Discord server.
Also, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we're only 4 Steam reviews away from 200!
If you haven't reviewed the game yet, this is a great time to do it!
Anyway, I got to go back to my newer projects now.
Thanks a lot for playing Sector Six - it's been almost 6 years!!! - and until next time ^_^

Change list:
- Added limitless inventory mode to the settings: Removes 3-page limit for the inventory.
- Updated credits and intro to show V3663L, my new studio / artist name.
- Numbers above billion are now shortened to, for example, 1B instead of 1000M. The same applies to trillions.
- Absolute Deterioration decayed fragment reward is now capped at a maximum of 6600 fragments per attempt.
- Attempting to level up Ascension level now consumes all available experience and instantly converts it to levels.
- It is no longer possible to modify locked parts.
- The 'Sell all' function at vendors now affects relics as well.
- Removed several cheated entries from the leaderboards.
- Potentially fixed: The game doesn't boot immediately when launching on Steam. Updating the Steam SDK version appears to have helped.
- Fixed: Infinite Sustained Barrage when combined with Channel.
- Fixed: Modified threat level 3 minions do not count towards True Champion achievement.
- Fixed: It was hard to see how much ether the player has in battle HUD due to a display showing 4+ digits.
