VOA 3.4.6

//---- Alright another larger update focusing around some heavy balancing, Annnnnnnnnnnd some new boss drops. First and foremost - Diamonds in Marina and Monolith chests. -I have gotten so many diamonds on my last playthrough that me and my team where leaving them behind. This shouldn't be the case, so with that being said diamond drops have been heavily nerfed in chests for later dungeons. -The Fear alter also got a bit of a rework, and should now offer a pretty adequate challenge. -The Ender Demon also had some fixes deployed, much like petals it had some broken mechanics. -Along with bug fixing, it received a buff as well. It should now be a proper challenge for players.

Balancing is always going to be like hitting a moving target, but I want to make sure the flow of things is polished before I start really hammering down the next two bosses. With that being said, I do believe we are starting to get there! -----//

VOA 3.4.5

//----- Huge balancing update incoming! This time focusing on Petal, The Marina dungeon, and the mid-game. Since I've added in new armors, weapons, and new ways to heal; Petal was an extremely easy fight. So, in order to put Petal more on par with the other bosses she received quite a buff. This fight should now be far more chaotic and unpredictable. Speaking of which, the Ender Demon is next on my list to balance. I want to make sure it fits with the flow of the bosses, as it is currently the last boss players will face.

Speaking of bosses... this year I have my sights set on releasing not one, but two additional bosses! We will hopefully be getting Thorn, and Pandora - The Cursed Demon. *Thorn will be around the same difficulty as Flower, and will be a Nether Boss. *Pandora will be around the same difficulty as Petal, Those that have found Pandoras crest can probably put two and two together as to how it will spawn - more details on that soon.

Another note regarding Bosses, I want to redo the boss loot tables. I think it would be a nice change of pace if they offered a more robust drop table. On Playthroughs I find myself redoing many of the fights for the boss drops and rewards. Anyway just some food for thought! -----//
