Four Divine Abidings

Steam release

Just a minor update based on community feedback.

The screen warp was heavily divisive with some loving it and some unable to stand it.
Therefore, I made it a setting :)

If the screen warp was keeping you from playing LINC, give it another try.

Thanks again for all the amazing feedback!!

LINC

Screen warp settings

Buildings
Added new buildings. As you can see some buildings (I could't come up with a better name for them) have models now, sadly not all of them. Some buildings also have skill trees now. 


UI scaling
Added ui scaling, now you should be able to see stuff on larger resolutions.

Walls
Multiple people mentioned walls in their feedback. So I added a whole room and a table.

Save system
Game saves automatically every 2 minutes. You can import/export saves (base64 encoded json, it's not space efficient but easy to work with).

Game events
Added more events like Falling Dice.

Mutations
Removed mutations from the game. It was too paintful to balance them.

Dice levels
Removed dice levels too. Without mutations leveling up dice was kinda pointless.

Fix stuttering when seeing new effects
If you interested it was because of shader compilation. The solution was to render everything during the loading screen.

All the Dice 

- New Onslaught boss unlocks at A1380\. Rewards Gem Dust.
- 1 New Unique Gem.
- Boss hunt base pet drop rarity changes - Aetheria bosses will drop as Common rarity pets, Eredurn bosses will drop as Elite rarity pets and Frostheim bosses will drop as Champion rarity pets. (Early game changes)
- Mimic drops the base pet as a common tier. (Early game changes)
- Fixed an issue with Sweep resetting incursion streak.
- Fixed a visual bug where unequipped gems showed green dots.
- Added Pet's Actual level/Bonus level to Pet tooltip.
- Fixed an issue with Load Save button not working.
- Frozen and non-corruptible stats are shown in blue, while non-corruptible but not frozen stats are shown in teal.
- Fixed a visual bug that showed 0 levels for incursion boss kills.

# Welcome to Fishy Friday the Fourth (of July): Founding the Fish Lab

[p]Today, we are diving in to the wonderful world of procedural fish! I have some good news, some bad news, and more good news and bad news.[/p][p][/p]

## About the demo.

[p]Let's start with the bad news. I was going to release an updated version of the game's demo today, but I ended up taking the weekend off for the holiday. Which leads to the good news: There will be a **Special Edition** of Fishy Friday next week which will include a major demo update! Keep your eyes out for that![/p][p][/p][p][/p]

## Now for the good news:

[p]We at Fishy Business Co have been hard at work breeding and developing fish for the game. In fact, we just passed 69 BILLION fish variants produced! That's right - billion with a B.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is our latest masterpiece - specialty bred for the holiday. Say Hi to Murray the Murican Catfish![/p][p]Hi Murray.[/p][p](Ignore the torpedofish - he wasn't supposed to leave the lab)[/p][p][/p]

### We have been breeding all of these fish in our brand new Fish Lab!

[p][/p][p][/p]

## About the Lab

[p]The Fish lab is an experimental fish breeding operation. We can combine any shape fish with any color set, and mix in up to four genetic traits, including eye size, eye color, and pattern/texture. These are the fish that will be populating your point from here on out. We currently have a brand new set of Cash Carp on the way, and they should be in the Demo pond sometime next week.[/p][p][/p][p]Ok, it's time for more bad news. The lab… isn't for sale. I know, it looks cool, but we have so much specialty equipment that we couldn't **possibly** ship all the way out to your little pond. We promise, the Fishy Business magazine will contain as many fish breeding and fish merging machines as possible.[/p][p]Black Hole Fishing is an incremental game, and that means unlocking things slowly. Just picking traits and putting them into a fish would totally kill the _gameplay_ :D Although, if you really want to try it out, we might be convinced to let you **visit** the lab.[/p][p]An early experimental version just hit Itch.io, so feel free to mess around with the fish for yourself. This is a development tool, so don't expect a lot of polish. You can try it in your browser, though - no download required.[/p][p][/p]

# [Visit the Fish Lab](https://sdggames.itch.io/fish-lab)

[p][/p][p]That's all for this week! Keep an eye out for the special announcement next week! After that, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled biweekly updates.[/p]

Black Hole Fishing

Fishy Friday the Fourth (of July): Founding the Fish Lab

[p]Hey there, Astro Rebels! 🫡[/p][p][/p]

We are thriving for you to play Astro Prospector.[/p][p][/p][p]Remember, AstroCoffee for everyone! ☕[/p]

Astro Prospector

Astro Prospector is coming out on 14 July 2025!

- Added research for adventure. You can research a lot of things there and finally boost the main game with your adventure progress!
- Added Priest for adventure. Priest is a T3 verion of Cleric with some new skills.
- Added Onion Knight as a new T3 class for adventure. This is more a joke class but some players wanted me to add it. It is the weakest class until cl 90 and then becomes one of the strongest classes.
- For hunter, careful shot works now differently and it needs to be set in the first slot. Please read the tooltip ingame.
- Some rebalancing with how damage mitigations work. It is mitigated after def instead of before def now. To make up for that, bronze equip gets more mitigation bonus as before and as that makes mostly Shax a bit harder, it gives 10% more exp now.
- Added 3 new adventure zones. With the right equip and settings one is doable Priest at ~ Lv 160+, one with Knight at ~lv 180+ and one with Hunter at ~lv 200+. Other classes can do the new zones, too but will need higher levels. The written levels are also kinda the minimum you need to survive, which might not optimal to go to yet.
- The drop boost passive now does not give exp bonus anymore if it is used in T3 and higher classes. It was mostly added back then because Adventurer and Thief were bad without it, but it becomes too strong for stronger classes and with research added newer players should have it easier even without that. Hunter has some skills improved and mp cost reduced to make it a bit better than before.
- Improved some of the skill settings as Damage was still too good compared to other settings.
- The maximum growth your pupils can get in the dojo is now capped to 2 million base growth or 2.5 times the growth of your median pet. Whatever is higher.
- Offline calculation for adventure should be more accurate now for high hp enemies.
- Did some small balance changes in adventure, should not affect classes too much.
- The Owl + Duragizer interaction was not intented so the bonus exp from owl to the weakest pet goes to the next weakest instead.
- Fixed quite a few bugs and some exploits.

Idling to Rule the Gods

Changes for Version 4.44.1568 (2025-07-04)

[p]Hi everyone! [/p][p][/p][p]The **Big Bang** patch is almost ready for release. Get ready to explore **new universes**, **new mechanics**, and a fresh twist on the gameplay with the Big Bang (NG+)! The patch will go live as soon as the **art rework** is complete, all _AI-generated_ images will be fully removed and replaced with _hand-drawn_ art from a real artist.[/p][p][/p][p]I know it's been over a month since the last update, but this next patch is going to be a big one. It will introduce a brand **new mechanic** for Mech Upgrades (_unlockable at BH 11_), lots of bug fixes, and the new Big Bang prestige layer. Thank you all so much for your continued support. I'm really excited to share this with you soon. [/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned![/p]

# ⚙️ Changes

[p][/p]

## Familiars

[p]Familiars prices have been a little on the lower side, letting you get super powerful familiars early letting you move a lot faster than you should be able to, I’m increasing prices of some of them, to hopefully make it more like they were supposed to be at the start. The original intent was to have each familiar worth it/affordable at each 100 floor. Let me know how they feel now, if they’re now underpowered for what they cost, could boost some stats later on.[/p][p][/p]

### Skeleton

[p]Cost: **25k** → **10M**[/p][p][/p]

## Materials

*   [p]Changed added percentage chance of spawning a sparkle from +0.1% on click to +0.05% to make it appear a little bit less often, but it’s still very common.[/p]
*   [p]Made the “New material is unlockable” move a bit to be more noticeable[/p]

[p][/p]

## Misc

*   [p]Combat’s door icon now has a handle to be a little bit more clear about what it is.[/p]
*   [p]Changed the backroom’s door to be grey instead of the same color as the background, should help it make it more visible.[/p]
*   [p]Changed verbiage in prestige buttons from “Commit to rebirth” to “Spend Hemalith” to hopefully help clarify how the spending system works, as people have been having a hard time figuring it out.[/p]
*   [p]Attack speed labels are now correctly rounded instead of showing long numbers.[/p]
*   [p]Pick your boon buttons percentages are not correctly rounded instead of getting crazy long.[/p]

[p][/p]

# 🐛 Bug Fixes

*   [p]Material sparkle now only appears over the map hover section.[/p]
*   [p]Enemy manual hit / weak spot now only appears over the map hover section.[/p]
*   [p]Fixed combat restarting even if you’re picking boon after exiting pause menu[/p]

Channel Surfing

Update - July 2, 2025

Just two fixes for Patch 1.0.244:

*   Controllers now have to be "activated" by pressing either the action, back, or d-pad buttons. This is to avoid controller drift that players were experiencing from phantom devices picked up by GameMaker
*   Full screen has been reworked to a sort of "fake" full screen, to avoid the game minimizing for some players when clicking away from the game.

If either of these fixes cause issues (or don't fix the issues they're supposed to), please let me know either in Steam Discussions or over on the Discord!

Thanks!
Pete
