Hello Rabbits!
It's been a hot minute, but it's here! [b]The Steam Workshop Update is now live to all players.
You can make...[/b]
[h2]Custom Items!![/h2]

(You could technically do this before, but now it's on Steam Workshop!)
[h2]Custom Boss Fights!![/h2]

[h2]...And share them with the world!![/h2]
To be honest, this took me a lot longer than I thought it would.
Within the game, all of these are just data in spreadsheets, so I thought it would be as easy as letting you add your own spreadsheets.
So I thought I could get it out by mid-September or so...
...But, I have been reminded that nothing is ever as easy as it seems when it comes to game development!
Another note, people have also asked for a way to add custom character classes in the game.
Unfortunately, the way the game is programmed, that would likely be significantly more difficult than Items, Skins and Bosses.
Not impossible! But difficult and time-consuming. So it's not in.
Perhaps I'll see how the game is doing post-DLC, and take it into consideration.
In addition to Steam Workshop support, this patch also comes with some balance changes!
The goal of these was mostly to make the "useless" gems a bit more pick-able.
Without further ado, the patch notes!

[b]- There is now Steam Workshop support![/b] I said that already!
[b]- The game is now available in French![/b] Thank you to Longfr for their translation!

- Toybox now additionally includes "Fight Settings", where you can play modded fights freely, as well as change other settings about Toybox fights
[b]- To have an item available in the Toybox, you now only need to have picked it from a treasure once, instead of winning a run with it.[/b]
Especially since people are trying to test their mods out, it's probably time to relax the Toybox requirements.
Note: Modded items will [b]always [/b]be unlocked in the Toybox from the start; you don't have to find them in a run first.

If I have the first stage of the DLC done by the event, I'll have it available to play.
If I don't, then you'll just be able to play the base game with other congoers!
Hope to see you there!
[i]Speaking of the DLC...[/i] uh, I still haven't really done much! My hands have been full with the Steam Workshop stuff.
I do have a good idea of everything that will be in it, though.
I'll take a small break after this update, and then get right to work on it. This update has been very programming-heavy, so I'm [i]really [/i]looking forward to drawing up new rabbits and bosses.
I'll have another dev blog about it when I have more to show! See you then!
