GOREGASM

#fixed critical bug 12/26/25

I didn’t expect version 0.4 to grow into something this large, but step by step it turned into a major update that changes a lot of core systems in the game.

This update focuses on new gameplay layers, cleaner structure, and preparing the project for future expansions.

Below is a full breakdown of what’s new.

Boss Fight System (New)
A separate boss arena has been added — a place where you’ll fight not only for survival, but for something new.

-Boss fights now take place in a dedicated arena
-The boss has two combat phases
-Phase 2 is faster, more aggressive
-New abilities unlock
-Visual appearance changes during the fight
-Defeating the boss rewards you with a new currency: Soul

New Boss Location
A brand-new location created specifically for the boss fight.

-Open space
-Stars and distant planets
-Isolated and ritualistic atmosphere

New Temple Room
A new room has been added to the Temple:

-The Witch awaits you there
-A portal leads directly to the boss arena

Artifact System (New)
A completely new gameplay system.

-Artifacts can be purchased from the Witch
-They cost the new currency: Soul
-You can equip only one artifact at a time
-Artifacts are visually displayed on the player’s hands
-Some have their own physics
-Each artifact provides a small bonus:
-Damage
-Speed
-Health
(Different artifacts focus on different aspects)

New Monster (Replacing Mini-Bosses)
-A new enemy type has been added to locations instead of the old mini-boss
-Features additional physics
-Designed to feel clearly different from existing enemies
-More presence, more character, less “copy-paste”

Enemy Rework (Major)
Enemies were fully reworked internally.

-Improved logic and behavior
-Cleaner and lighter code structure
-Easier to expand and balance in future updates

New features for enemies:

-New health bar
-Visual indicator when a Finisher can be executed

Because of this deep rework, some bugs may appear. Hopefully nothing critical — but this is part of rebuilding core systems properly.

Finisher System (Reworked)
Finishers are no longer just a dash with a punch.

-Now uses a cinematic camera
-You see both:
-The main character
-The enemy being finished
– Currently only one animation, more will come later
Important note:
This system is new and technically complex for me. I really hope it won’t introduce serious bugs — but if something feels off, your feedback will help a lot.

UI Redesign
The game interface has been fully reworked.

-New visual elements
-Cleaner, more intuitive layout
-Additional UI animations

DLC Menu (New)
A new DLCs button has been added to the main menu.

-Seasonal DLCs
-Only one can be active at a time
– Expansions (WIP)
-Future DLCs with new gameplay mechanics, characters, etc.

Codex (New Object)
A new object called Codex has been added to the Temple.
-Shows control information (if you didn’t change it manually)
-Stores lore and data about:
-Characters
-Locations
-Monsters

Fixes & Balance
-Currency system adjusted to reduce grind
Example:
1 Skill Point → 10 Shards
2 Skill Points → 20 Shards
-UI issues where buttons were hard or impossible to click — fixed
-Monster damage made more stable and consistent
-Many other small fixes and improvements
