FEATURES -Vendor refresh now has an increased chance to have higher rarity Scripts (40-50%) -The Quests screen will now update with more available Quests every 4 hours (was 24 hours) and will also be higher quality -Quests can now be progressed in Remixed Simulations -Added in-game option to Auto-sell Script Loot below a selected Rarity (accessible from Pause Screen -> Options) -A mechanism has been put in place to help identify and inform new players that their progress is not being saved.

Higher Charisma = Higher Script Damage, and Worse Script Defense -Added AoE Debuffs for Scripts as a random-rolled Executable -Added "+" Rarity Scripts to Remixed Simulation Loot Pool. These will display as Cosmic+ for example, and offer slightly higher ATTACK, SPEED, and DEFENSE stats on those Scripts BALANCE -All Scripts which are not Dead when a Villain is deleted will be rewarded equal XP instead of being based on Script damage done to Villains -Free-cast Chances rise with Focus Parameter (Was Luck Parameter) -Drastically reduced Memory cost of leveling up Scripts.

-Updated backgrounds for Simulations, Labs, and Raids -Fixed Auction House bug

GAMEPLAY -Some Villains will now execute “Crash” executables, which will prevent Scripts from executing until Lowlife runs Cure on them, or another Script casts any sort of Buff on them —Tanks have a natural resistance to Crash and will still execute, but at a slower rate -Raised Cheat Death minimum health threshold from 150 to 500 -If a Script is equipped when it is at or lower level than Lowlife, it can now be unequipped and re-equipped even if it has out-leveled Lowlife UI -UI has been optimized to take advantage of the device GPU and not use all CPU for graphic processing. This should result in a more consistent, higher frame rate -Replaced circular cooldown elements for number countdowns over Healing Buttons and Status effects until a more performant solution can be developed and tested -Damage done to Villains will once again appear over their health bars -Damage and Healing done to Scripts will now animate again -Fixed issue where Timeout length could be cut off from the Script long-press Queue menu LABS -High Score recording for STRESS TEST will now happen after each Wave completion, or by Pausing and tapping “Stop” MISC -Vendor will now refresh Script inventory every 8 Hours instead of 24 Hours -When Completing a Quest that rewards a Script, there will now be a flat-rate chance (not affected by Luck) for its Rarity to be upgraded than what the reward was listed as FIXES -Fixed issue where Achievement tracking for deleting Elite and Trash Villains was not progressing properly —After updating, upon your first Elite or Trash Villain deletion, the proper progress will retroactively apply -Fixed issue where Overhealing metric was not properly resetting after a Simulation Reboot -Fixed issue where Bleed might be able to apply to a failed Script -Fixed issue where Villain AoE Interrupts would always apply 15HP damage instead of their respective amounts -Fixed issue where putting the game into background or pausing, and then resuming, could result in 1 FPS until the current battle’s Villain or Villains were deleted

GAMEPLAY UPDATES -Increased Villain damage -Healing Executables now scale Healing Power and Mana Cost with Player Level -Reduced Runtime and Timeout of nearly all Script Executables Note: There were many Executables with excessively long Runtimes and Timeouts, meaning they might only be run one time or not at all in an entire battle.

GAMEPLAY UPDATE The Auction House has been a huge hit, with over 20,000 transactions since launch. Players at any level are able to grab up any Script they see fit to help them conquer Simulations, Labs, and Raids. At any given time in the past month there have been over 1,000 Scripts available for purchase ranging in levels from 1 to nearly 200! A downside to this open market and lack of Script restrictions is that lower level players can purchase and immediately use Scripts that are far above their current level, making most content trivial and lacking challenge. Similar to being able to re-assign Parameter Points as you see fit, Lowlife set out to break some molds and standards with less rules and limits, but in the case of equipping higher level Scripts, it might actually be ruining the spirit of the game. To equal out this large power gap, Scripts will now be restricted from being assigned unless Lowlife’s level is equal to or greater than the Script’s own level. This is in line with the standards of the genre, and while the restriction-less experiment was illuminating, it is not in the best interest of the game itself in the long run. Currently assigned Scripts that may be higher level than Lowlife can remain assigned, but once they are unassigned they will not be able to be assigned again until you reach their level with Lowlife. This is a very big change to Lowlife, but for the longevity and spirit of the game, it is for the best. I hope anyone who is impacted by this change understands and knows such a major change like this was not made easily. -Scripts can only be assigned if their level is lesser than or equal to that of Lowlife’s own level. —If a Script levels up beyond Lowlife’s level in-game, they can remain assigned. —Scripts cannot be manually leveled up beyond Lowlife’s own level when leveling up from the Scripts screen FEATURES -Added Replay button for Simulations -Added counter to Raids to show hourly history of players who queued for specific Raids. BALANCE -Overshield will now give additional Overshield instead of a flat value when cast on a Script with an existing Overshield -Raised base Mana Cost of Overshield to 300 (was 175) -Raised base Timeout (Cooldown) of Overshield from 5 to 10 -Raised base Runtime (Cast time) of Overshield from 2 to 3 -Using Extra Life in Simulations will reset the current Villain’s HP -Casting Gambit on Scripts with Blessing will now reduce their HP -Dropped Raid Villain count from 12 to 10 UI -When a Script takes damage while having an Overshield, only the Overshield portion of the Script UI will flash red and damage numbers will be blue -Adjusted some Auction House UI elements -Discovering new Quests from deleting Villains will now display Quest name in Notification bar -Added Sort options to Available Quests listing -Added descriptive error pop-ups for some common Auction House errors -Combat Log and Villain damage history will now display Custom names of Scripts if set -Healing Executables will not display Long-pressable icons in Raids -Added additional clarity in Markets screen of what VIP Ticket includes FIXES -Fixed issue where Scripts would incorrectly reflect being Assigned in the Scripts screen, not allowing them to be Sold and creating confusion (and rightfully so) -Fixed issue where exiting a Lab would not properly unload Music -Fixed issue where failing to purchase a Script would result in Updating… never going away -Fixed issue where casting Chain Heal directly on Lowlife would not reflect healing indicator lines in game -Fixed crash that occur in Raids if a Villain was defeated and one of the parties did no damage -A lot of Raid connection optimizations to prevent desync, still some work in progress -Fixed issue of calculating Average/Highest levels that would not be up to date for Lab calculations -Fixed issue where it would be possible to carry more Active Quests than what should have been possible depending on the player’s finger tapping speed

UI -Added Compact Mode to Scripts selection screen to make managing large amounts of Scripts easier AUCTION HOUSE -Fixed issue that could cause some listed Scripts to be listed twice, leaving un-buyable Scripts in the Auction House that other players could not buy if that same Script was purchased before. This will take about a week for all of the un-buyable Scripts to filter out. -Fixed a freeze or crash that could occur when Delisting a Script OTHER -Compressed some files to reduce overall install size -Added Haptic Feedback to additional UI elements when enabled in Settings
