Version 1.1.

4 Patch Notes - September 19, 2023:

We're back!

Content Additions:
- Three New Epic Quests:
- Flame On, featuring Torchwood! Receiving a rework in the update, Torchwood is

layouts have been removed and we've added a bunch of new layouts too!

- AltverZ's artists are now in the credits for their costumes and the art for Void
Orchid.

Bug Fixes:

counting towards respective daily quests.
- Fixed issue where Dark Summoner Zombie would cause immense game lag when an
electric plant was used against him.
- Fixed issue where Halloween Octo Zombie was not appearing in Inzanity stages.
- Fixed issue where Penny's Classroom kept disappearing. It should stay this time.

Changes to Inzanity:
- A lot of the wavegens based on Endless Zones had their waves reconfigured to have
a better curve and be challenging as the level approaches its end.
- Most "fake" multi-flag levels that were actually extremely short got removed.
- Many of the more boring wave setups got adjusted to follow a specifically
designed progression and logic.
- The amount of specials that wavegen could pick was balanced out for the edited
setups to not be spammy and reflect the wave amount of the level (mostly).
- Lots of new wave variants were added that all follow the new curves while having
different approaches and early games.
- Among the new wave gens there are some "wild" ones that have some gimmicky
aspects to them or diverge from the typical level structure.
- Difficulty in terms of zombie waves should overall now be more standardized.

Balance Changes:

- Magenta Skull Zombie:

- Wave Point Cost: 400 -> 750
- Dev Note: This was to reduce how frequent he could be in Inzanity and Endless
Zone. Points should now properly reflect his threat level.

- Goth Punk Zombie:

- Wave Point Cost: 400 -> 800
- Dev Note: This was to reduce how frequent he could be in Inzanity and Endless
Zone. Points should now properly reflect his threat level.

- The dialogue that appears after playing a Thymed Event for the first time for
Penny's Pursuit has been replaced with dialogue about Thymed Events.
- Updated mod credits again, for various new members that have been added since our
last update.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Holiday Mashup and Steam Ages not having the sound that plays when you
press a world's icon.
- Implemented some changes which should fix the issues with Neon Mixtape Tour's
music after the 1.1.1 update. Fingers crossed!
- Fixed Steam Ages Ultimate Battle/Demonstration Mini-Game not having the correct
victory jingle.
- Fixed Noctarine not being plantable on top of Vine plants.
- Fixed a few levels in Epic Quest: Aloe, Salut! which were daytime with no sun

Bot Imps.

Level Adjustments:
- The following levels have been adjusted:
- Wild West - Day 20 (fixed conveyor not always giving Coconut Cannon)
- Far Future - Day 22
- Big Wave Beach - Day 25
- Big Wave Beach - Day 28
- Big Wave Beach - Day 30
- Modern Day - Day 9
- Steam Ages - Day 16 (made more difficult following it being too easy after
buffs to the plants)

Balance Changes:

- Spikerock:
- Sun Cost: 225 -> 275
- Damage: 20 -> 24
- Hitpoints: 300 -> 900
- Dev Note: For mainly the same reasons as Iceweed, Spikerock has been
underperforming to many players due to its high cost, thus making it less appealing
than Spikeweed. It now has exactly double of Spikeweed's damage, with a +50 sun
cost to help balance out this large jump in power. It was also given 3x the health
of Spikeweed as a formality to match it's smash related efficiency. Hopefully
this'll help the spike family stand out more. Speaking of which!

- Iceweed:
- Sun Cost: 250 -> 200
 - Dev Note: Iceweed was underperforming, mainly due to its quite high sun cost,
and lukewarm payoff. Being inspired from the dynamics between the melons and
dragons, a portion of it was cut down in order to make it more of an appealing
choice, now he's really excited to make the zombies chill out whilst saving you
some sun!

- Guacodile:
- Damage: 20 -> 25
- Dev Note: Guacodile has mainly been used as an instant use plant of sorts, with
little to no reason to use his seed attack. A small damage up has been granted to
give more incentive to place Guacodile ahead of time and let him rush naturally
when foes step close

- Pepper-pult:
- Sun Cost: 200 -> 175
- Dev Note: Pepper-pult's higher price has resulted in him not being picked
outside of Frostbite Caves often. A slight price reduction should give a nice
consideration to use him elsewhere!

- Fire Peashooter:
- Sun Cost: 250 -> 225
- Dev Note: Fire Peashooter's higher price has resulted in her not being picked
outside of Frostbite Caves often. A slight price reduction should give a nice
consideration to use her elsewhere!

- Dazey Chain:
- Recharge: 5s -> 10s
- Stun Times: 2/3/4 -> 1.5/2/2.5
- Dev Note: They have had it good for a far too long time. Being an effective
support and DPS rolled into one slot is an incredible thing to be (our other two
culprits of this crime will be discussed later), and as such we've reduced the
effectiveness of their stun, so now you need to be a little more thoughtful with
them.

- Phat Beet:
- PF Outer Radius Damage: 200 -> 400
- PF Inner Radius Damage: 400 -> 1200
- Dev Note: Talk about a sour note! Phat's super powered jams were an absolute
flop, dealing pitiful damage for your Plant Food investment. It's power was turned
up to 11 to give it more of the kick one should expect from using Plant Food.

- Noctarine:
- Unpowered Gas Duration: 10.5s -> 13s
- Powered Gas Duration: 15.5s -> 16s
- Dev Note: A large amount of Noctarine's jank has been fixed for (hopefully) the
time being, and his gas now lingers for just a bit longer overall, to really
incentivize using him outside of shadow decks.

- Murkadamia Nut:
- Damage Mirroring: 25% -> 40%
- Dev Note: Ah, poor Murk. Cursed with relative uselessness due to overestimating
its strength. We've given him a sharp incerase in damage mirroring to make him more
appealing in full shadow decks and against certain select targets.

- Boingsetta:
- PF Damage: 2 -> 650
- (NEW) Added Knockback to Plant Food ability
- Dev Note: Due to an oversight, Boing's PF did *2* damage to obstacles on use.
This has been fixed, alongside the ability to knock back foes on the board, similar
to Spring Bean but with less potency.

- Electric Currant:
- Damage: 40 -> 20
- PF Damage: 80 -> 40
- Attack rate: 1s -> 0.5s
- Dev Note: A formality to make it consistent with Electric Peashooter's halved
daamge + doubled tickrate. Should be more consistent against those pesky cluckers
as a bonus!

- Aloe:
- Heal Rate: 5s -> 2.5s
- Heal HP Amount: 700 -> 400
- PF Overheal: 100% -> 200%
- Can no longer heal Holly Barrier
- Dev Note: Ah, poor orphaned Aloe. Stuck in the role that nobody seems to need
or want. An increase to his healing rate at the cost of a slight heal down (and an
actually properly implemented heal rate - it was not working as intended
previously!) makes him an incredibly effective medic, so while his niche is still
just that, it's an incredibly potent one. Try out that Plant Food on your local
Tall-Nut today!

- Grapeshot:
- Sun Cost: 225 -> 250
- Dev Note: A formality to keep the ratio up to par with his bretheren.
Grapeshot was still quite strong at the end of the day, so hopefully this'll reign
him in.

- Cold Snapdragon:
- Chill Duration: 3.5s -> 2.4s
- Dev Note: The second of the triumvirate of support + DPS in one slot, we found
that Cold Snap's stats were not the issue, rather it's 100% uptime chill. It's now
brought to the tier of Winter Melon's chill uptime of around 75%, which should both
keep him in line and require multiple instead of just two for a full deep freeze.

- Bombegranate:
- Sun Cost: 175 -> 200
- Blast Damage: 1000 -> 400
- Seed Damage: 150 -> 400
- Dev Note: Bombegranate has been outshadowed by both Cherry bomb and Grapeshot
for so long, due to a somewhat awkward damage amount from her blast, and seeds
which might have well not been there. We decided to pour a lot of her damage into
the seeds from her blast, to really give her that unique kick one expects from an
instant use plant.

- Electric Peashooter:
- Sun Cost: 475 -> 525
- Recharge: 15s -> 20s
- Dev Note: Electric Peashooter was *STILL* just a bit too much at the top end,
and as such a hit to recharge and sun cost was deemed warranted, adding him to the
elusive 500+ club.

- Snap Pea:
- Cooldown Time after Eating: 5s -> 2.5s
- Dev Note: Snap Pea has been underwhelming due to his long periods of
indigestion after a meal. We gave him some medicine to cut that time down to get
him hungrier than ever! Note: side effects include, but are not limited to, the
destruction of stairs.
- Dartichoke:
- Normal Damage: 70 -> 80
- Critical Damage: 80 -> 160
- Dev Note: Dartichoke's stats were incorrect for the entire game's launch due to
an oversight, and this has been fixed as a result, alongside a slight bonus to her
crit damage for having to endure the suffering.

- Puffball:
- Recharge: 60s -> 50s
- Poison DPS: 25 -> 30
- Dev Note: Puffball really lacked the oomph needed of such a high sun cost, as
his effect was not immediate. As a result, his poison is now on par with Shadow-
Shroom to have it really be that wave opening damager! This, alongside the slight
recharge time decrease, should really get him in the fight.

- Turkey-pult:
- Recharge: 5s -> 10s
- Firing Rate: 2.85/3s -> 4.2/4.35s
- Dev Note: Turkey-pult was simply too effective in every situation, hordes,
single targets, Gargantuars, you name it. A severe fire rate down and an increased
recharge time were deemed necessary to put her in her place, and we may be
revisitng her in the future. She is still quite effective, but now actually
requires support, instead of being her own support for a relatively low investment.

- Gloom Vine:
- Sun Cost: 75 -> 25
- Recharge: 15s -> 5s
- Hitpoints: 900 -> 300
- Plant Food Damage: 450x4 -> 200x4
- Dev Note: Poor Gloom Vine, was stuck in a niche that it just wasn't up to the
task of filling. NOW, he's in line with the other well known enabler around, Lily
Pad! Feel free to experiment with him due to his extremely cheap cost. The damage
on his Plant Food was recuded due to the dramatic scaling down of his other stats.

- Stickybomb Rice:
- PF Damage: 200 -> 150
- PF Blast Radius: 1.5 -> 1
- Dev Note: Stickybomb's Plant Food effect was far too good at clearing out
hordes, due to it's blast radius and decently strong damage. As such, both of those
things have been toned down to not be as overwhelming.

- Boom Balloon Flower:

- Direct Damage: 450 -> 560
- Splash Damage: 600 -> 560
- PF Damage: 875 -> 600
- Dev Note: Her damage was shockingly inconsistent, and that has been fixed at
the cost of less damage compared to her original splash and her Plant Food effect's
power being cut (875 to the full board was quite high).

Version 1.1.1 Patch Notes - January 19, 2023:

Putting away Feastivus decorations. Here's to the New Year!

Content Additions:
- Lunar Zoo Year is on its way! Starting January 22nd, experience good fortune and
new zombies!
- Added a new Imp and Gargantuar variant for the festivities.
- Added new Lunar Bandit zombie. Once he lands, he'll walk backwards! On defeat,
he'll even give you free money!
 - Added new Lunar Raider zombie. Unlike the Lunar Bandit, he'll walk forward and

- Valenbrainz is coming! Starting February 10th through the 18th, get smitten and
bitten in new Pinata Parties!
- Luck O' the Zombie is also on the horizon! More info will be revealed as we get

- Slight change to Thymed Events, first part of more changes to come to the future:
- Thymed Events will now feature Brain Buster stages halfway through the event to
shake things up away from the random levels.

General Additions/Changes:
- We've changed our music functionality slightly, to give us more control over the
game's music setup and all of that.
- This allows us to work with music issues much faster and quicker than we could
in the past.
- This might come with some issues/changes to music functionality. If you notice
anything a bit weird, please inform us in our Discord :)
- Added an outro for the Holiday Mashup Miniboss theme. Shoutout to Voup!
- Added new code for custom levels to enable Jam Zombie functionality outside of
Neon Mixtape Tour.
- Added Nighttime Feastivus stage and Daytime Summer Nights stage for custom level
makers.
- All new dev team members have been added to the mod credits.
- Updated Lunar Zoo Year stages for 2023's Year of the Rabbit.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed glitch where Pianists and Disco-trons would be able to override and cut out
the music in Holiday Mashup and Steam Ages.
- Fixed issue where the Holiday Mashup Zomboss Fight music did not allow for the
Zomboss Dialogue music to play and did not cut out upon defeating the boss.
- Fixed the loop for the 8-Bit Jam in Neon Mixtape Tour.
- Fixed cut-out error with Wild West Final Wave after the loop track ended.

defeated.
- Fixed Troglobites and Arcade Zombies not being able to push their grid items
correctly in Pirate Seas.
- Fixed minor issue with a variant of The Calamity Calendar where Valenbrainz
Basics could appear in a ZCorp themed variant.
- Fixed Heroes Event stage not correctly having The Smash as the Gargantuar spawned
via Hypno-shroom's Plant Food ability.
- Fixed Modern Day Gargantuars spawning from Hypno-shroom's Plant Food in the
Children's Day stage. It now uses Head Office Impgantuar instead.
- Fixed issue where Halloween variants of The Calamity Calendar did not have Jam
zombies doing their abilities.
- Fixed the daily costume drop schedule.
- Fixed Penny's Classroom disappearing once it became 2023.
- Banned Sun Bean from Holiday Mashup - Day 30 and Holiday Mashup - Day 36 due to
the plant food's ability to cheese the minibosses.
- Fixed issue in Zombie Multimplicity fight where the final split could sometimes
spawn a sun sprite for a split second.
Balance Changes:

- Chili Bean:
- Stun Duration: 7 -> 10
- Recharge: 20 -> 15
- Plant Food Clones: 2 -> 4
Dev Note: We wanted to spice up the balance changes of this update with a few
buffs to underused plants. Although not terrible, Chili Bean tends to be
overshadowed by similar early instant use plants - notably Imp Pear, who even has a
longer stun than Chili Bean! We brought Chili Bean's stats up to keep him on par
with everyone else, increasing his utility throughout the game. We also tuned up
his Plant Food effect to produce two more copies, making your investment, if you
choose to make it, more worthwhile.

- Pea Pod:
- Plant Food Projectile Damage: 400 -> 900
- Torchwood Plant Food Projectile Damage: 800 -> 1800
- PF Torchwood Plant Food Projectile Damage: 1200 -> 2700
Dev Note: ...You don't need us to explain this, right? 400 damage for a plant
food effect projectile?! It sucked! You know it sucked! We're making it less sucky!
Now you can actually kill a Conehead and some Specials! Now you got some proper
cannonballs for that Torchwood setup! Any questions? No? Moving on.

- Hocus Crocus:
- Recharge: 60 -> 50
- Starting Recharge: 45 -> 40
- PF Zombies Teleported: 3 -> 5
Dev Note: Hocus Crocus rarely sees usage from players due to her high recharge.
To alleviate this, we decreased both her standard and starting recharge, so you can
get your hit of chicanery faster than before! As a bonus, we also let her send back
more zombies with her Plant Food effect, further increasing her impact in a level.

- Sap-fling:
- Sap Stall: 50% -> 30%
Dev Note: Sap-fling's been a plant that has finally been getting the recognition
it always deserved. So much so, that players have all seen exactly just *how* much
he truly is capable of, which is interesting, considering basically nobody in
vanilla ever gave the poor guy any love, and we haven't changed a thing about him.
Was he always kinda OP on paper? Yes. But, he had horrible use rates across the
board in vanilla, so a nerf was religated to a reactionary option. Low and behold,
that's what's being done. With fellow stallers such as Winter Melon nerfed, Sap's
power has become far more obvious due to lack of weaknesses and even a stronger
slow compared to chill (50% vs. 40%)! Reducing the sap's slow to 30% should bring
him down to everyone else's level, trading a weaker effect for his many strengths
and encouraging players to replace him later on in the level without punishing them
for not doing so.

- Dandelion:
- Direct Damage: 70 -> 60
- Splash Damage: 70 -> 60
- Recharge: 10 -> 15
Dev Note: Dandelion's been dominating the meta recently and it's no secret why.
Due to his lackluster performance in vanilla, he was given plenty of buffs to make
him fun to use. A bit too "plenty", as it turns out. With powerful damage and a
quicker recharge, he became a spam-to-win plant that flew under the radar during
development amidst the many other changes in the mod. Now that the mod's been out
for some time, it's become clear how his buffs have gone overboard. We've had time
to experiment with nerf options, and we bring you a bit of a hit to the overall
efficiency; reducing damage slightly and turning up the recharge should keep him
satisfying without letting him dominate levels through sheer spam.

- Fanilla:
- Plant Food Projectile Stun: 7s -> 10s
- NEW: Plant Food Projectile Chill: 20s
Dev Note: One plant food for 7 seconds of stun on one lane sounds underwhelming,
no? Well originally, that wasn't even the plan. The original plan was for the Plant
Food projectile to also knock zombies back, however, hardcode got in the way as it
often does. Instead of that, we decided to give you some bang for your buck here by
increasing the stun duration and giving you some bonus chill afterwards. The latter
takes inspiration from the original Fanilla's costumed Plant Food effect in the
Chinese version. Neat, huh?

- Toadstool:
- Sun Cost: 275 -> 225
- Chew Time: 30 -> 23
- Sun Produced (all sources): 50 -> 25
Dev Note: Toadstool's been a rather unhoppy camper recently after seeing that
she's gotten less love than her carnivorous siblings Chomper and Snap Pea. But why?
Her sun returns were no joke - it even matched Sunflower. Turns out, many players
did not pay much attention to that fact as the sheer slugishness of Toad was too
much to reliably invest into. To fill the middleground, Toadstool's cost and chew
time have been changed to go between Chomper and Snap Pea, at 225 sun and a 23
second chew time (inspired by the dynamic between Bonk Choy, Parsnip and Wasabi
Whip). In exchange, her sun output was reduced to 25, keeping her from becoming too
powerful in the production department due to the aforementioned changes.

- Grapeshot:
- Explosion Damage: 1000 -> 800
- Sun Cost: 200 -> 225
Dev Note: Despite his nerfs from Vanilla, Grapeshot continues to overshadow his
exploding siblings Cherry Bomb and Bombegranate. We're taking an additional (and
perhaps not the last) step in nerfs by reducing his explosion damage and increasing
sun cost slightly, the former of which notably prevents Grapeshot from defeating a
Gargantuar by himself.

- Cold Snapdragon:
- Recharge: 5 -> 15
Dev Note: Cold Snapdragon received buffs to mirror what was given to Snapdragon,
but this also pushed him over the edge in a way we needed to address down the line.
A simple hit to his recharge puts him in a good place, and comes with the bonus of
matching the dynamic between Winter Melon and Melon-pult!

- Electric Peashooter:
- Bolt Frequency: 0.5 -> 0.25
- Projectile Passthrough Damage: 10 -> 5
- Bolt Damage: 20 -> 10
- Projectile Speed: 180 -> 200
Dev Note: Remember that +50 sun nerf? Yeah, that was just a test. You asked for
more, so we're givin' ya more! To stop Electric Peashooter from becoming totally
indomitable, we decreased Electric Peashooter's bolt damage (as well as projectile
damage), while also increasing projectile speed. Sound scary? Well to compensate,
we also doubled the bolt frequency. These changes aim to make the plant more
satisfying, and give it some struggle against tankier targets such as Gargantuar
without support. While it struggles with tankier targets now, the changes aim to
not endanger his crowd control functionality, as that's what most players use him
for. Notably, these changes also strived to keep Electric Peashooter viable in the
Endless Zone scene - let us know if it works!

- Coal Miner Zombie:

- Wheelbarrow attack rect is now smaller
- Wheelbarrow hitbox is now smaller
- Wheelbarrow is now immune to all forms of stun
- Adjusted zombie hitbox and art center to be in line with other Steam Ages basic
types
- Zombie is no longer immune to knockback
- Zombie can now be Power Tossed
Dev Note: We wanted to try to resolve issues with Coal Miner's cart breaking when
he was stunned. In the process of trying to do this, we were able to make the
zombie no longer have an arbitrary immunity to knockback. While he has his cart,
though, the cart still cannot be knocked back. We will continue to evaluate if
these changes have an effect on the issues with his cart.
