Patch Notes Page 8

v0.52.8

Added exclusive Intro Chronicle music.
The opening cinematic now plays assets/Audio/Music/Cinematic.mp3 as its dedicated music track.
Normal menu/gameplay/boss/death music is stopped while the cinematic is active and resumes through the regular music state once the cinematic completes or is skipped.

Scoped Kalibros tutorial pacing.
The tutorial message buffer now only delays first-sighting and weather lessons.
Pickup, powerup, consumable, level-up, and reward-choice lessons can open immediately again when their event happens.

Smoothed the Intro Chronicle handoff into gameplay.
After the opening cinematic reaches black, the run now begins behind the black screen and fades into gameplay instead of snapping directly to the battlefield.

Added breathing room between Kalibros tutorials.
Queued tutorial messages now wait briefly before the next popup opens, preventing multiple first-appearance lessons from chaining immediately after one another.

Added Slime first-sighting guidance.
Kalibros now warns the player the first time a Slime enters current vision that Slimes can split and multiply if left unchecked.

Fixed Fire Skull tutorial targeting.
Kalibros now only uses the Fire Skull lesson for the authored fire_skull enemy id, preventing Orcs or other fireball-capable enemies from triggering the wrong tutorial.

Refined first-sighting Kalibros tutorials.
Trader, Church, and Pub door shelter callouts now require the door to be inside the current fog-of-war vision circle instead of merely being somewhere on the screen.
Special enemy mechanic callouts now require the enemy to be in currently visible fog-of-war tiles before Kalibros speaks.

Expanded first-appearance Kalibros onboarding.
The first inventory item pickup now explains opening Inventory to inspect, compare, equip, sell, or later break down gear.
The first food or potion pickup now explains quick-use recovery.
Each powerup type now gets a one-time explanation when collected, including Frenzy, Kaboom, Magnet, Voodoo, Cloak, Lantern, Freeze, Recharge, Immortal, Health Surge, and the Die.
Added map-door and crafting tutorial timing updates.
The first visible Trader, Church, and Pub door contacts now highlight the door and tell the Warden they can seek shelter inside.
The crafting/breakdown tutorial now appears at Round 5 instead of waiting for Wave 8.
Refined talent and enemy tutorials.
Kalibros now announces the first earned talent point only once per profile, while the unspent-talent reminder can recur whenever the player keeps sitting on points.
Generic enemy callouts were removed; only enemies with special mechanics trigger first-seen lessons, including Bursters, Fire Skulls, Wraiths, reanimating undead, and enemy healers.
