README

Crawl: Further

A large content mod for Crawl (formerly "Crawl Mod"). It adds nine new gods with 189 monsters between them, 15 secret monsters, 25 weapons, 67 shop items (22 spells, 38 artifacts and 7 potions) plus 2 secret items, 32 room objects, hero origins and ghost forms. All of it has its own drawn art in Crawl's palette, down to the weapons in the hero's hands. Vanilla content is untouched. Everything new is marked in purple: a violet pip in the menus or a small violet gem on its picture.

New in 1.0.0

  • All nine gods are rebuilt. Every one of the 189 monsters has new art and a move or quirk of its own, with a tell you can see.
  • New art for the hero origins, weapons, items, room objects, blobs, ghosts, secret monsters and menus.
  • A test panel (F2) for trying any monster, item or object without playing a whole run.
  • Crawl Further Core, the modding library under the mod, is open for other mods to build on.
  • Works alongside Online Crawl, CrawlAPI and boss mods such as CrawlCustomBosses.

The full list is in the changelog.

The nine gods

Each god has 21 monsters: three starters, six at tier 2 and twelve finals. Every starter and tier-2 monster offers two evolutions of its own, nothing shared, so each tree has 12 paths. Each god has a perk that shows up in every fight:

  • Vhorrul, the Tallow Saint: wax and fire. The dead burn as pyres that cool into tallow slicks, and his monsters swim in the wax, soak it up and pour it as fuses.
  • Ossivar, the Marrow King: bones. The dead leave bone piles that crawl to the nearest Ossivar monster and become plates that block a hit.
  • Sylvene, the Rot Orchard: rot and spores. The dead drop seeds that ripen in 2.5 s into poison pods, and each of her monsters works the pods in its own way.
  • Umbrael, the Hollow Mirror: shadows. Every basic attack repeats 0.6 s later as a shadow echo for half damage, and each monster bends that echo its own way.
  • Bel'Mora, the Drowned Bell: the sea. Hooks, currents and songs drag you in, and every 14 s the tide leaves brine pools that slow you and heal her monsters.
  • Jinx, the Grinning Jester: luck. Each special flips a Wild Card over the monster's head, and dice hit for their roll.
  • Zhekra, the Brood Queen: insects. Larvae and acid, resin that roots, and monsters that swarm when packed together.
  • Kaurn, the Storm Forge: lightning and iron. Arcs link Kaurn monsters and iron rods to anything near them, and crossing one hurts.
  • Ysveld, the Frost Widow: ice and silk. Every 12 s a blizzard lays ice paths her monsters skate on, and three frost hits pin you.

Every mod monster's melee turns toward where it aims, so it hits up and down as well as sideways. Mod finals can also turn up as stone statues between fights, and a ghost can step into one.

What else is in it

Secrets. 15 secret monsters: three silver-only finals from the silver ghost's upgrade, a seven-monster gold line hidden somewhere gilded, and five statues on gold-seamed plinths (the legendary Lachrymosa is about 1 in 200). The vault's SECRETS page has all 25 secrets. One you haven't found shows a silhouette, a riddle and how rare it is.

Room objects. 32 of them: ghost traps (Chain Winch, Steam Vent, Pendulum Blade and more), a snare and warp stones, shrines and a strongbox for the hero, a Jukebox that changes the music, a Disco Ball, a Slot Machine, a Wishing Well, a Pinata, and a few that hide secrets.

Weapons. Each of the 25 has a mechanic no vanilla weapon has. Gravehook drags monsters to you, Moonglaive comes back like a boomerang, Snake-Eyes rolls a die for its damage, and Arcbolt chains lightning. Reaper gets stronger with every kill until you're hit, and Midas Sling hits harder the more gold you carry.

Shop items. 22 spells, 38 artifacts and 7 stat potions, some with a short catch. The trinkets run from a Party Hat and a Pet Ferret to a Phoenix Feather that saves you from one killing hit. Two more items are never sold.

Hero origins. After picking a god, pick one of 10 origins (or the vanilla hero). Each changes stats or gear and recolours the hero, with its own colour set for each player slot.

Ghost forms. Ten ways to play between bodies: Wisp, Gleaner, Binder, Poltergeist, Banshee, Sexton, Kindler, Mason, Hexer and Miser, each with its own creatures.

Silver and gold slots. The last two entries of the god, origin and ghost lists let you build your own: an idol with any god's perk and starters from any god, a hero with any look and weapon, a ghost with your own look. The silver ghost's orbs push your next body one level deeper in its tree. The gold ghost leaves its body fighting on for you. Each slot opens with a challenge that takes a few games, and a locked slot shows your progress.

Monster tips. When you become a monster, vanilla or mod, a note above your own HUD panel explains its moves. Pause > Tips gets pages for every mod god, status effects, ghost forms, objects and more.

Menus and music. A "Further" wordmark under the CRAWL logo, flame markers and embers on the main menu, picture grids in the vault, and four instrumental tracks that rotate in with the game's own music.

Bosses. The mod's two bosses are switched off in this version. They never spawn.

Works with other mods

  • Online Crawl. The host runs the game, and every player needs the same Crawl: Further version. Remote players use the ghost button from their own settings.
  • CrawlAPI. Its Custom entry joins the god grid and opens CrawlAPI's own menu.
  • CrawlCustomBosses and other boss mods. A boss another mod picked is never replaced, room objects never spawn in a boss arena, and the silver upgrade waits until the boss fight is over.
  • Mods built on Crawl Further Core share the god list (a grid that pages once it is full), the vault and the test panel.

Test panel

Curious how a final plays without reaching it? Open BepInEx/config/CrawlMod.Debug.cfg (it appears after the first launch) and set TestMode = true under [Testing]. In a game, F2 opens a panel where you can become any monster, ghost form or the hero, spawn monsters and room objects, give yourself items and weapons, skip floors, go straight to the boss, slow the game down and show hitboxes.

While test mode is on, nothing counts toward your vault, challenges or secrets, and it switches itself off in an Online Crawl match. Set it back to false for real runs.

For modders

The mod is two DLLs. CrawlFurther.Core.dll is a modding library with no content of its own, and CrawlFurther.dll is Crawl: Further built on it. A mod built on Core can add its own gods and monsters with their own moves. It can add shop items and weapons, room objects, vault pages and secrets, and buttons on the test panel. It works with Online Crawl the same way this mod does. Core can also export the game's own sprite atlases to PNG.

The source, the developer docs and an example mod (one god, three monsters, one spell) are on GitHub: firefightermate/crawl-further, under the MIT license. Start with docs/getting-started.md. Core ships inside this package for now, so a mod built on it should list Crawl: Further as its dependency.

Install

With a mod manager (r2modman or the Thunderstore app), install this mod and launch the game through the manager. BepInExPack Crawl comes with it as a dependency.

To install by hand, install BepInExPack Crawl first, then copy the plugins folder from this zip into BepInEx in your Crawl folder. On Steam Deck or Linux (Proton), set the game's launch options to WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%.

When the mod loads, a small banner in the top-left corner reads "Crawl: Further 1.0.0" and "self-test OK". Back up Crawl.sav (in the Crawl folder) before your first run.

Updating from 0.9.x or older: the plugin folder is now CrawlFurther, so delete an old BepInEx/plugins/CrawlMod folder. Config file names are unchanged, so your settings and saves carry over.

Controls and settings

  • Ghost button (Binder fuse, gold ghost jump-out): C on the keyboard, middle click with the mouse or X on a controller. Rebind it in the controls settings.
  • Pause > Tips: Left / Right jumps between topics on the mod pages.
  • Vault grids: mouse wheel or Page Up / Page Down scrolls.

BepInEx/config/CrawlFurther.UI.cfg turns the menu touches and the music on or off, and CrawlFurther.Objects.cfg sets how often room objects appear.

Reporting bugs

Open an issue on GitHub. Say what you were doing, and attach BepInEx/LogOutput.log and CrawlMod_selftest.txt (next to CrawlFurther.dll). If you play with other mods, list them and their versions.

CHANGELOG

Changelog

1.2.1

  • Keep playing after a win. When the hero beats the boss, pick Continue or End game. Continue gives the game two more tries at the boss and brings the winner back to the dungeon through the portal, and anyone can win again. If a continued game runs out of tries, you are asked again, and ending then gives the win to the last player who beat the boss. Online Crawl games end as before for now.
  • New art for every hero. The origin portraits are close-up faces painted like the game's own god portraits, in all four player colours. The silver and gold heroes' portraits, editor icons and slot pictures match them.
  • The headwear heroes wear in game is redrawn at the size of the hero's head: helms, hoods, hats, hair and face pieces no longer sit on top like oversized blocks, for the origins and for every silver and gold hero choice.
  • Monster challenges are easier to pass. Starters ask for hero level 3, tier 2 for level 5 and finals for level 7. They asked for 4, 7 and 10, the game's own goals, which very few players reach. Your best scores are kept, so a challenge you already took that far shows as passed.
  • Every god's starting monsters hit harder and have at least 4 health. They were well behind the game's own starters in both.
  • Tallow Grub is stronger: it moves at normal speed, its Wax Spit flies further, hits harder and comes back sooner, Melt charges faster, and the puddle rises the moment it is under the hero, for a player as for a bot. The rising burst hits harder over a wider area.
  • The secret monsters had less health than every other final. The gold line's finals, the silver uniques and the secret statue monsters now have as much as the gods' finals.
  • The Brood Mother's Royal Grub has its own art: gold plates and royal jelly running down its back.
  • Fixed: the Moth Matron's ember moths always flew to the right when no burning hero drew them in.
  • Fixed: the Fuse Scorpion's death held one pose for three frames. It now falls in four.
  • Fixed: a Wire Wyvern whose dive found nowhere to ride could stay frozen.
  • Fixed: the self-test reported problems that were not problems (monsters whose special hands the body to its own behaviour, the Sundered's menu picture, the Royal Grub sharing the Acid Grub's art) and one that was: the Well Spirit's rarity line was one letter too long.

1.2.0

  • A blob's special is on the ghost button (C, middle click or X), not on Back. Using the Brute's Bounce, the Titan's Engulf or the King's Rain no longer throws you out of the blob. Back only leaves it.
  • The join screen's controls picture names the ghost button under it, for keyboard, mouse and pad: ghost power and blob special.
  • Blob tips, vault lines, the blob page and the ghost pause page say which button uses the special.
  • Test mode: Become > Blob (special ready) puts you in any blob with its special charged.
  • Minions and blobs in the vault say "No challenge available" where other monsters show their challenge.
  • Pick your blob after confirming your ghost form. The ghost page is back to how it was, with no row under the forms. Confirm a form that has a blob to choose and a blob page opens: pick with left and right or the mouse, confirm to finish, or go back to the forms. It works with pads, keys, the mouse and Online Crawl, for each player on their own panel. Forms with no choice skip it.
  • The blob page starts on the blob you had last for that form, or its default. A locked blob shows its challenge and progress, and shakes when confirmed.
  • Fixed text that could be cut off or drawn over other text: a long monster tip no longer covers its own name, and long names and lines on the god select, in the vault, on the new-slot and secret banners and on the load banner now fit.
  • Every god monster and secret monster has a challenge in the vault, like the game's own monsters: select it in MONSTERS and press Challenge. Play it against a bot hero who comes back stronger each time you kill him. Starters ask for hero level 4, tier 2 for level 7, finals for level 10.
  • A passed challenge gets the game's tick on its vault cell. The violet gem on mod monster cells now sits in the bottom-left corner, clear of the tick.
  • Minions and blobs have no challenge, as the game's own have none.
  • A monster's vault page shows its challenge under its line. A few long lines are a little shorter so it fits.
  • Mod challenges never count toward Steam achievements, and playing one earns none.
  • Test mode: Run > Monster challenge starts any monster's challenge from the menus. Scores are not saved.

1.1.0

  • The Gleaner, Poltergeist and Binder each earn a blob of their own: the Mote, the Spitter and the Gel. Until then they spawn the regular blob. Once earned, their own blob is the default and the regular one can still be picked in a second row on the ghost page, under the forms.
  • The challenges, played as that form: gather 250 ectoplasm as the Gleaner, hit the hero with 40 hex bolts as the Poltergeist, spawn 40 blobs as the Binder. Locked blobs show as a dark outline with their challenge and progress, and the vault has a page for each.
  • The Gleaner's Motes come in pairs and the Binder fuses Gels with the ghost button once they are earned.
  • Silver and gold ghosts pick from the regular blob, every blob already earned and the new King Blob, which is theirs alone. It slams out a ring of goo and rains globs that land where their shadows grow. It has a little more health than a Titan, leaves no Gel behind, and costs three bodies of ectoplasm. A silver or gold ghost with Motes gets them in pairs, and with Gels fuses them.
  • Test mode: Become > Ghost blob sets the blob for your form.

1.0.2

  • Tier 2 and tier 3 monsters of all nine gods are stronger, in line with the game's own tier 3 monsters and finals: the finals have more health, hits land harder and specials charge sooner. The Glue Mortar also lobs faster.
  • Hits that monsters deal through their quirks now count god perks and damage runes, like their normal attacks.
  • When a minion, a gold thrall or another monster with no player inside killed the hero, nobody took the crown and the dead hero's player never became a ghost, so the run could not go on. The player who made that monster now becomes the hero, as with the game's own monsters.

1.0.1

  • Online Crawl: a player who lost the connection and joins again right away gets a working screen. Back in the game, their character plays as a bot until they press Start and pick Drop In.
  • Fixed a white box on the evolve screen with a translation mod installed. The cost number now uses its label's font.
  • The evolve screen shows one violet gem per panel, not one on every monster.
  • Mod monsters on the evolve screen stay inside their panel.
  • Mod content shows one violet gem, never two: the vault, the god and origin pickers and the shop each mark an entry once. The gems can be turned off with ModGem in CrawlFurther.UI.cfg.
  • Tips, pause pages and vault pages keep working when a translation mod swaps the game's fonts or labels.
  • The Carrion Roc can no longer leave the ally it carried unkillable.
  • A monster that lurks or coils no longer comes back later without collision.
  • The list of monsters you've seen tips for is kept if it fails to load once.
  • The slot machine's health and ectoplasm results no longer show numbers.

1.0.0

Gods

  • All nine gods are rebuilt. Each of the 189 monsters has new art and a move or quirk of its own with a tell you can see, and its tips, vault line and its god's pause page are rewritten to match.
  • Three monsters are replaced: the Ouroboros takes the Dice Rattler's place (Jinx), The Sower the Amber Hornet's (Sylvene) and the Gulper Eel the Storm Eel's (Bel'Mora).
  • Vhorrul: monsters swim in wax, soak it up and pour it as fuses. The Wick Hag has a poppet and the Tallow Colossus sheds wax layers.
  • Ossivar: the Church Grim falls into bones and rises again unless the hero stands on the pile. The Carrion Roc carries an ally across the room and drops it.
  • Sylvene: each monster tends, shakes, slings, hides or sows the orchard's pods.
  • Umbrael: each monster bends the shadow echo its own way. The Hollow King throws his crown, and a shadow king stands there for 5 s.
  • Bel'Mora: the Drowned Bell throws his bell, the Gulper Eel swallows, and the Siren's song drags the brine pools.
  • Jinx: the Grand Jester swaps a fast Comedy mask for a tough Tragedy mask, and the Oracle's ghost acts out her next move a second early.
  • Zhekra: the Brood Mother raises a larva into a grub, the Hunting Wasp carries a Marked hero into the swarm, and a Botfly egg hatches a larva for every hit the hero takes.
  • Kaurn: red-hot rods, a wired hero, a wyvern that rides the arcs, and rods that take the bolt meant for you.
  • Ysveld: a widow wraps you, a bride turns black, a geode splits.
  • Each of the nine gods has its own gold idol portrait.

Art

  • New art for the 11 origin portraits and the gear the origins wear, all 25 weapons (in the hero's hands, in the shop bubble, and their swings and shots), the item and spell icons, all 32 room objects and their effects, the six blobs, the six ghost fodder creatures and the ghost form portraits, the secret statues and the gold secret monsters (now with real death animations), the silver and gold idols, the slot padlock, the banner for a newly opened slot and the evolve menu's header.
  • Everything is drawn in Crawl's own muted palette: three tones per material, light from the top left, and no hard black outline. Item colours were measured against the game's own art.
  • Artifacts stand 22 px tall in the shop bubble (was 16), and the small HUD icons are drawn by hand.
  • Silver ascended finals and the statue carvings are redrawn from the new art.

Test mode

  • A test panel on F2 for trying things without a full run. Become any monster, ghost form or the hero, spawn hostile monsters and room objects, give the hero items and weapons, pick the run's gods, skip floors, go to the boss, slow the game down and show hitboxes. It also turns on Crawl's own hidden debug menu (Tab + `).
  • Off by default. Set TestMode = true under [Testing] in BepInEx/config/CrawlMod.Debug.cfg. While it is on, nothing counts toward the vault, challenges or secrets, and it turns itself off in an Online Crawl match.

Framework

  • The mod is now two DLLs: CrawlFurther.Core.dll, a modding library with no content of its own, and CrawlFurther.dll, the content built on it. Settings and saves carry over.
  • Other mods can use Core to add their own gods and monsters, shop items and weapons, room objects, vault pages and secrets, and pages on the test panel. The source, developer docs and an example mod (one god, three monsters, one spell) are on GitHub under the MIT license.
  • The god select shows the gods as a grid that pages once it is full, so more gods fit.

Compatibility

  • Works alongside CrawlAPI: its Custom entry joins the god grid and opens CrawlAPI's own menu.
  • Works alongside boss mods such as CrawlCustomBosses: a boss another mod picked is never replaced, room objects never spawn in a boss arena, and the silver upgrade waits until the boss fight is over.
  • Online Crawl still works as in 0.10.0. Every player needs the same Crawl: Further version.

Fixes and playtest changes

  • The Leviathan and Pandemonium are switched off for now: they never spawn, and their tips and pause page are hidden. The setting is Enabled under [Bosses] in com.firefightermate.crawlfurther.cfg.
  • Binder: only Gels fuse. 2 Gels make a Brute, 3 make a Titan, and a Brute or Titan never fuses again. The King Blob is gone. Back no longer fuses.
  • Every ghost form has its own tip, and a Fusebelly that Attack will light shows a spark on its fuse.
  • Silver and gold idols: each time you pick a monster for a slot, the cursor starts on the top-left monster. The ready screen shows the idol's perk god.
  • The Golden Duck has its own 1 in 500 roll per room. Before, it turned up far more often than the 1 in 150 it promised.
  • The hero still slides on Ysveld ice but no longer runs faster on it.
  • Potion effects with a timer count down only during fights, with a countdown next to that player's HUD panel.
  • The first gold secret monster steals 1 to 4 gold with its basic attack and aims it in any direction. Playing dead, it takes a quarter damage but drops gold when hit.
  • Monsters built on the gnome (Rime Shardling, Barnacle Crab, Thornbiter, Rivet Imp) no longer make the hero drop gold.
  • A hero who picks up a vanilla weapon after a mod weapon no longer turns invisible.
  • Vault text is measured against the game's font, so none of it is cut off or runs under BACK.
  • At most two Loose Jacks are out at once.
  • A grub that grew in a past life keeps its full health when its body is used again.
  • The Widow Matron's wrap wears off on its own.

0.10.0

  • The vault has a SECRETS category with a page for each of the 25 secrets: 3 silver uniques, 7 gold secret monsters, 5 secret statues, 8 object secrets and 2 secret items. Until you find one it shows a silhouette, a little riddle and how rare it is. Once found, its picture, name and story. New finds are announced on the next menu and get the vault's red dot.
  • 32 room objects. Ghost traps: Chain Winch, Steam Vent, Tar Spout, Pendulum Blade, Rune Plate, Toll Bell and Scatter Idol. On the floor: Iron Snare and Warp Stones. For the hero: Mending Spring, Weapon Rack, Cursed Altar, Ward Shrine (30 gold, half damage until 15 s into your next fight) and Strongbox, plus the Spirit Urn for ghosts. Fun: Jukebox, Disco Ball, Pinata, Confetti Cannon, Slot Machine, Fortune Teller, Bounce Shroom, Firework Crate and Wishing Well. Secrets: Lever Trio, Hidden Hatch, Cracked Wall, Mysterious Keyhole, Golden Reliquary, Sculptor's Altar, Watching Portrait and Golden Duck. CrawlFurther.Objects.cfg sets how often they appear.
  • 25 new items: 7 stat potions (Troll Marrow, Wyrm Blood, Hare's Dew, Berserker's Grog, Stoneskin Draught, Quicksilver, Chaos Brew), 16 trinkets (Party Hat, Bard's Lute, Pet Ferret, Bubble Pipe, Rubber Duck, Firefly Jar, Dancing Shoes, Whetstone, Phoenix Feather, Siphon Gem, Glutton's Fork, Tally Stick, Gambler's Coin, Patchwork Bandage, Wanted Poster, Iron Boots) and 2 secret items that are never sold (Skeleton Key, Gilded Heart). The shops now carry 67 mod items.
  • 5 secret statue monsters on gold-seamed plinths: Grotesque, Sixfold Idol, Gambit and Caryatid (about 1 statue room in 12 between them) and the legendary Lachrymosa (about 1 in 200), whose Lights Out darkens the room for 2.5 s.
  • God perks reworked so they matter in every fight. Vhorrul: the dead burn as pyres, then cool into tallow slicks. Ossivar: bone piles crawl to the nearest Ossivar monster. Sylvene: pods ripen in 2.5 s and burst in a wider cloud. Bel'Mora: Rising Tide leaves brine pools every 14 s. Umbrael: a bite's echo shows shadow jaws. Jinx: the Wild Card shows over the monster's head. Ysveld: a blizzard lays ice paths every 12 s. Kaurn: iron rods stand 9 s.
  • Marrow Hound: a bone pile heals half its health, but only while it is below 3/4 health.
  • Every mod monster's melee turns toward where it aims, so it can hit up and down. The Jack-in-the-Box has its own up and down punches.
  • Size fixes: floating numbers, the Wishing Well and boss status icons.
  • Every tier-3 monster, mod and vanilla, has a moonlit silver version of its art, used by the silver ghost's Ascension. Ascended bodies no longer grow bigger.
  • The silver upgrade follows vanilla trees all 4 levels deep.
  • Monster tips show for every player in multiplayer, each above that player's own HUD panel, smaller with 3 or 4 players. Options: Tips ALL / P1 ONLY / OFF.
  • Monster tips show every time you take a monster, including one you took earlier in the same room. Options: Tooltips ALWAYS / FIRST TIME (once per save) / OFF.
  • Works alongside the Online Crawl mod.
  • Fixes: item buffs no longer stay on after the hero dies; the Phoenix Feather and Patchwork Bandage are not used up by hits your weapon guard blocks; objects no longer take the attack button from the hero in a fight; the Caryatid's columns can't trap the hero. A Ward Shrine blessing ends if the one who prayed stops being the hero. Item text says "percent", which the game's font can show.

0.9.1

  • Names no longer carry a mod tag. Mod content is marked only with the violet pip or gem, now also on vault cells and the vault's big picture.
  • New Crawl: Further soundtrack: "Further Down", "Tallow Hymn", "Gilded Rot" and "Lingbourn", instrumental tracks made for the mod, rotate in with the game's music (about 1 in 3 new gameplay tracks), following the game's music volume and fades. CrawlFurther.UI.cfg: CustomMusic, CustomMusicChance, CustomMusicOnTitle, CustomMusicVolume.
  • Silver ghost reworked into Ascension: your fallen monsters drop silver orbs, and 8 of them upgrade your next body. Orbs drop more often than before (1 to 4 a death, about 2.3 on average).
  • Gold ghost reworked into Thralls: press the ghost button as a monster to jump out, and the body fights on in gold for you.
  • 3 silver unique tier-3 monsters that only the silver ghost's tier-3 upgrade gives: Moonwarden and Comet Stag (1 in 5 upgrades each) and the legendary Astrarch (1 in 25).
  • A secret gold monster line, 7 monsters in all. Where it hides is a riddle in the Secrets vault.
  • The gold idol's evolve screen shows all 4 monsters.

0.9.0 (Crawl: Further)

  • The mod is now called Crawl: Further. The plugin folder, DLL and config names are unchanged, so updates keep settings and saves.
  • A drawn "Further" wordmark at the bottom right of the CRAWL logo on the title screen and in the credits. It burns in, glints, sheds embers and glitches along with the logo.
  • Main menu: flame markers beside the selected item, drifting embers and dust behind the logo, and the version bottom right.
  • Vault: weapons, items and objects are picture grids like the monsters, with a picture for every entry. Weapons show the hero in that weapon's stance, undiscovered entries a sealed "?". The name shows above the description. Mouse wheel and Page Up / Page Down scroll the grids.
  • Vault: new FURTHER category with a page for every mod god, hero origin and ghost form.
  • Hero origins: each has its own colour set per player slot (P1 blue, P2 red, P3 green, P4 amber), and most origins cost a little more.
  • Silver and gold slots at the end of the origin list: build your own hero (any look, any weapon, and on gold a spell too), each pick with a stat cost.
  • Six new ghost forms (ten in all): Banshee, Sexton, Kindler, Mason, Hexer and Miser, each with its own creatures and effects.
  • Silver and gold ghosts with your own look (shape, colour, eyes, trail).
  • A ghost button (Binder fuse) that you can rebind in the controls settings; mouse uses middle click.
  • Silver and gold idols at the end of the god list: pick any god's perk, then 3 (silver) or 4 (gold) starters from any god. Only the chosen perk applies.
  • Silver and gold slots open through challenges that take some play time (evolve 60 monsters, reach 20 different finals, kill 400 monsters as the hero, win 5 games, gather 1000 ectoplasm, kill the hero 40 times as a monster). A locked slot shows your progress.
  • Origin pips show what an origin gives: violet for a weapon, blue for a spell, rose for both.
  • CrawlFurther.UI.cfg turns the wordmark, menu touches or vault grids off.

0.8.0

  • Evolutions are never shared: every god's tree is 3 starters, 6 tier-2 and 12 finals (21 monsters per god, 189 in all), and each monster has exactly one parent.
  • Art pass: every mod monster, effect, item, weapon, boss and ghost form has its own drawn art. Evolutions are redrawn to show both parents, each god has its own hit splats, weapons are drawn in the hero's hands, and hero origins carry their own gear.
  • Pause > Tips has new pages: the monster you are now, each mod god, status effects, icons, ghost forms and bosses. Left and Right skip topics.
  • Dice show their roll as a number, and a Lucky Die dodge shows DODGE.
  • New icons over the head and at the feet for plates, sparks, frost pips, healing, speed, damage and ice.
  • Fixed the monster pictures in the evolve menu.
  • Monster tips now explain each passive in plain words, on up to two lines.
  • Zhekra monsters swarm next to any other monster, and Kaurn arcs reach any monster near a Kaurn monster or rod.

0.7.2

  • Every god's tree is now 3 starters, 4 tier-2 and 4 finals, and each monster offers two different evolutions. 38 new monsters.
  • Mod finals appear as monster statues, with their own carved statue art.
  • Monster tips: when you become any monster, a 7-second note explains its attack and special. Toggle in Options.
  • 15 new weapons (25 in all), and every mod weapon is recoloured in the hero's hands.
  • Every mod monster, item and weapon has an entry in the library.
  • Binder ghost form: fuse blobs with X (controller) or C (keyboard), and the fuse range is now about 90 px.
  • Changed the mod tag after names, because the game hid the old one.

0.7.1
