Changelog for Patch 1.0.2 / GOG-12 (Windows) / GOG-14 (Linux) (added 22 February 2017):

Events
- (NEW)Valentine's
- A new stage was added to celebrate valentine's day! Help the cupids of the Love Temple get rid of the stone cold Gargoyles!
- Objective:
- Save as many cupids as possible. The cupids spawn alongside with the gargoyles whenever you touch a mark. The gargoyles are strong, so be prepared to take them down quickly!
- Reward:
- For each cupid saved, there will be an uncommon item waiting for you at the door. There's a high chance of one of those items being a rare item!
- Accessibility:
- You can access the Love Temple via the pink teleporter. The pink teleporter has a chance of appearing near the portal in the Cathedral area. It will not spawn in a boss room.
- Duration:
- The event lasts from 14th of February to the 20th of February!

Story
- Added new story elements to the game!
- (NEW)Final Cutscenes: added a final ending cutscene for each possible ending.
Updated soundtrack of the game.
- Judgement
- (NEW)Death Animation: Added an unskipable cutscene when the first phase of the Judgement ends. The cutscene shows the summoning of the second phase.
- Added a beam of light whenever a boss is summoned to aid judgement.

GUI
- Changed the update behaviour of the hero GUI's health bar. The bar now refreshes faster when the player loses hp, proportional to the amount of health lost.
- Life Steal
- Now only applies to damage dealt by a hero. Still heals all heroes.

Optimization
- Decreased the base amount of memory (RAM) usage from 580-600MB to 250-300MB, at a cost of a bit more of the cpu. However, the cpu used should be very spontaneous.
Decreased the size of the game file to around 90MB.

Bug Fixes
- Lifesteal pop up now shows "stolen" instead of "syphoned" and now displays the amount of health recovered.
- Fixed a bug where the game could crash due to a surface rendering problem.
- Fixed a bug where you could exploit the game and bypass levels
- Fixed a bug where the Skeleton King would cut the audio at "The End" level.
- Fixed a bug with Glass Cannon where you could exploit the stat increase of characters such as the Destroyer and get infinite damage.
- Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon defeating the Soul Guardian if certain requirements were met for the Soul Orb.
- Fixed the Golden Shelf's range to match the tooltip range.

Changelog for patch 16.1 / GOG-11 (Windows) / GOG-11 (Linux) (added 14 December 2016):

Windows and Linux only; MacOS coming soon

- Fixed a bug where using the Nightblade's shield would cause to gain infinite defense, if repeatedly used.
