Idle Spiral news & patch notes

- Removed the "Offline Bonus +1%" upgrade from the Shop. Instead, added new upgrades for "Mega Crit" and "Loot Chance" to the Shop

- Increased the cost of M-crit and LPM upgrades in the shop from 1K to 100K

- Fix the Auto Loot not processing when the canvas is closed.

- Completely revamped the Achievement UI. - Added an "All Add" button to the Z-Reactor. - Changed so that MoF works while some challenges - Fixed the overflow of enemy special texts - Fixed the bug where the description of logarithm challenge is not shown - Fixed the issue where loot rewards were not updating when switching enemies. - Added "Parameter Gain from Loot" to Effect Gain. - Fixed the bug where the combo multiplier was not resetting upon spiral defeat.

Patch Notes - Fixed an issue where the level of Pythagoras in Theory only increased by 1000 per second while using Memory of Formula. - The effects of Water Spiral have been significantly changed as follows: The automation of Line Number, which was previously a passive effect, is now a default feature. Two new passive effects have been added as replacements: 1. Attack Speed increases based on the progress of the Line Number gauge. This effect is active even when Line Number is not triggered. 2. Z-Reactor Capacity is increased. - Fixed an issue where the Discord link was broken. We apologize for the wait! With the implementation of Memory of Formula on Mobile, we are resuming updates for the PC version. Alongside the addition of new content, we are equally focused on fixing bugs, improving QoL (Quality of Life), and refreshing the UI. We appreciate your continued testing and support!

- Removed the test Reset button that was incorrectly placed in the Challenges. - Fixed an issue where r, p, and z were not affected by the offline boost.

- Fixed an issue where the Window Glass was not displayed in the Battle Spiral. - Resolved a problem where the description text for the Window Glass was appearing as blank.

- Added a new enemy: Another Spiral. - Unlocked the reward for the final Theory. - Added 3 Spiral Equations. - Added several Battle Upgrades. - Removed all existing Offline Bonuses and introduced Memory of Formula. More details will be provided later. - Added the Frenzy Challenge. - Added the Logarithmic Challenge. - Introduced Mega Critical. - Introduced Logarithmic Combo. - Added a new QoL Theory Upgrade. - Added the ability to disable the Renderer, allowing for a significant reduction in game load even when not in idle mode. - Added new DLC "Window Glass Spiral"! - We fixed the currency production to ensure that the calculation time is not dependent on the frame rate. This change ensures that the currency is produced using the precisely elapsed time, even when the frame rate is low. - In Tornado Prestige, the next tier at which rewards can be obtained is now displayed. For players currently at T100 or above, T9999 is displayed as a placeholder. - Fixed the Square Root Challenge so that the attack speed is always 5 seconds. - Fixed a display bug where the Loot Progress Multiplier was not reflecting various multipliers. - Swapped the order of Complete Bonus and Reward in the Challenge descriptions. - Fixed an issue where k and a were showing the same value. - Improved the UI for idle mode. - Made it possible to close Idle Mode with the Esc button. - Slightly moved the x5 button horizontally. - Adjusted the Omega Speed Adjuster to be always available once unlocked. - Adjusted the Loot window to prevent it from being cut off. - Fixed a bug where the delta r value would sometimes fail to update. In this update, there are important changes to the offline bonus. With the traditional offline bonus, it was difficult to calculate precise values, and a phenomenon occurred where online players became extremely advantaged. Therefore, in this update, we have abolished all traditional offline bonuses and instead introduced a currency called Memory of Formula. Memory of Formula can be used in idle mode, and consuming it allows you to dramatically increase the game speed for a certain period. Additionally, as an important note, there is no upper limit to the acquisition of Memory of Formula. For example, a player who has been offline for 3 months can obtain 3 months' worth of Memory of Formula. We hope that this opportunity will encourage players who have been offline for a while to come back! The DLC being added this time is themed around "window glass". As time passes, it alternates between day and night, drawing a fantastical and beautiful spiral. We look forward to your purchase. The main effect of this spiral is about Mega Critical Chance. Active : Enables the generation of experience over time that increases the Mega Critical Chance of this passive effect. Passive : 1. Mega Critical Chance +1% 2. Legendary Loot Chance +25% 3. Rare Loot Chance +50% You can purchase this DLC from here! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3045480/Idle_Spiral__Window_Glass_Spiral_Pack/?beta=0

We sincerely apologize for the delay in our upcoming update. We would like to share the progress of the next update's content with you. The main focus of the next update will be the modification of offline bonuses. All existing offline bonuses are scheduled to be removed. Instead, players will be able to use a currency called "Memory of Formula" to drastically increase the game speed. Additionally, we are planning to introduce even more powerful enemies and challenges, so please look forward to it! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

* Fixed a bug where the Attack Progress would not reset when switching enemies, causing an Exploitation. * Resolved an issue where the cost of Theory Upgrades would become 0. * Fixed a bug that caused the Battle to restart within the same frame when the set values for Nuke and Auto Start were the same. * Addressed a problem where some parts of the text were appearing in white color.

We've been working on improvements to the Battle UI. The main changes in this update are: * Nuke, Scavenger, and Auto Start can now be operated simultaneously without toggling between them. * Selecting Loots has been made easier. * A button to change Font has been added. * Other minor adjustments and tweaks have been implemented.

- Fixed an issue where, during Auto Theory, upgrades would always reference and level up based on the cost of one level. - Fixed an issue where Theories would incorrectly increase by 100 levels despite insufficient funds. - Corrected a problem where a loop in Theory Automation would persist after loading the game. - Fixed a bug where Steam Achievements related to the letters r and z could not be obtained. - Corrected an issue where the Drunk Challenge would fail upon Prestige. - Addressed a problem in the Square Root Challenge where Battle Upgrade 52 was incorrectly influencing the challenge. - Modified the content of Tier 11 (T11) to now include the unlocking of the Exponentiation Challenge. - Updated the export function to correctly reflect the version number.

- Fixed an issue where the Auto Upgrade feature in Theory only consumed the cost for one level. - Fixed an issue where the cost was not updating in the Auto Upgrade feature in Theory.

We have identified an issue where Δr is not being updated correctly after Prestige. This is likely due to the recursive formula calculations not being updated. Therefore, we have temporarily changed the system to update the results of the recursive formula calculations every frame. We would appreciate it if you could let us know whether this change improves the situation.

Fixed an issue where the Currency Update Per Tick would become 0 upon the first launch of the game.

* Added a new "Currency Update Frame" feature, allowing for the adjustment of the interval at which currencies like r and p are produced. Adjustments can be made from the Settings screen. We've identified that a performance bottleneck in the game was related to the production of currency. As a result, this feature will dramatically improve performance issues. * Added a new Daily Bonus. Once Battle is unlocked, Attack Speed can be obtained through the Daily Bonus. Additionally, when Theory is unlocked, LPM (Loot Progress Multiplier) will be available through the Daily Bonus. * Significantly added more statistics to StatsBreakdown, including the number of enemies defeated and the number of challenges cleared. * Implemented caching for omega exponentiation and recursive equation calculations to improve performance. * Discovered and fixed highly inefficient code in Theory, which resolves the issue where keeping the Theory screen open would increasingly slow down processing. * Removed the Study feature from Theory, making it possible to level up Pythagoras with just one click. * The auto Pythagoras upgrade in Theory will now level up by 100 at a time, at a 1-second interval. This addresses the problem of progress varying due to different PC specifications. * Improved the logic for Rare Reroll. Now, the first draw is done once, and all subsequent draws are random. This fixes a bug that could freeze the game. * Moved the Discord button to the Settings screen. * Fixed an issue where pressing Max in the Theory Exchange would consume all Fragments. * Fixed an issue where Math Skill would overflow when exceeding 1e18. * Fixed an issue where the Daily Bonus could be claimed twice. * Fixed a critical bug that occurred at a low probability of about one in a hundred thousand during battle reward lotteries, where it attempted to reference a non-existent reward.

- Fixed an issue where the HP display order was reversed. - Adjusted rewards up to T100 as follows: Up to T100, performing Tornado Prestige grants 0.5% Attack Speed and 1% Rare Drop. Beyond T100, 1% Attack Speed is granted. - Fixed an issue where the level of Spiral Equation would overflow.

PACTH NOTE v2.6.0 - New Enemy Alphabetician - Added new content "Spiral Upgrade". This allows for the enhancement of both Active and Passive effects of the Spiral Design. These upgrades require Spiral Points. The simplest design requires a cost of 1e5, and the required cost increases by 1.5 times with each level up. Also, the required cost increases significantly for higher-tier Designs. Some Designs do not have either Passive or Active upgrades. The cost is entirely a Placeholder and we welcome feedback. - The Z-Adjuster has been added. Hovering over the square icon in the bottom right will display a bar on the left. By adjusting this, you can change the scale of Z rendering, allowing for the creation of more complex and beautiful spirals! - Custom Scavenger has been implemented. This allows you to use your preferred values as Scavenger values. - New Spiral Equations - The 9th Theory - New Professor Challenge - Implemented Performance Mode. You can now disable game rendering by clicking the teacup button in the bottom right corner. - Added new information about Z, Z-Reactor, Theory, and Loot to the Help section. - Added the following rewards to Tornado Prestige: - Up to T50, each reincarnation adds +1% to Rare Drop. - From T50 to T100, increase in Attack Speed by +0.5%. - Beyond T100, increase in Attack Speed by +1%. - New Battle Upgrade - Reversed the unlock order of Super PI and QQ. Consequently, the flat reward for Super PI has been increased by 10 times. - Rarity will start its second attenuation from 1500%. - Decreased the r goal per level of the Straight Challenge2 (Professor) to 50. Also, due to the extremely easy nature of the Slow Spiral Challenge, its difficulty per level has been increased to 50 as well. - Revised the system related to Battle Stats. As a result, Critical Damage and Super Critical Damage will now display the actual amount of damage dealt instead of the multiplier. - Following the above changes, a 0.002s Attack Speed Cap will apply even when Nuke or Scav Modes are ON. - Reduced Pi's HP to one-tenth of its original value. - Increased Pi's ATK% to a range of 1 ~ 10%. - In Battle, the additive rewards for the parameter "k" will be reinstated. As a result, the "k" parameter that you all previously earned in Kappa will also be revived. - Adjusted the Passive Effect of Reactor-S to be +10% per level. Additionally, changed the decay method to a square root decay. This adjustment should benefit all players. - Fixed a problem where the value of ATK enhanced by the Combo Multiplier was incorrectly displayed. - Changed the effect of the "Math Skill +100" upgrade to "Math skill +5%" in the battle ugprades. - Discontinued Multi Attack and replaced it with a corresponding increase in ATK. There will be no change in the amount of damage caused by this modification. - For LI Stats, Critical related aspects are now unaffected by Debuffs and will be displayed in gray text. - Partially improved performance issues that worsened as the value of ω increased. - Moved the rewards for Omega, Gamma, Delta% from Gamma to Napier. - In Tornado Prestige, a new window now displays all rewards earned so far, including those related to m and critical aspects earned in mid-Tornado Prestige. - The upgrade speed for Pythagorean Theorem in Theory has been increased. - The increase in Common drop rates has been abolished. Additionally, this has led to a 50% increase in the Uncommon drop rate rewards. - Increased the maximum reward for Varman by 10 times - Adjusted the Effect of Rainbow to start decaying from +100%. - Fixed the issue with Z's 3D display to work correctly. This is still a work in progress, and we plan to perform more detailed performance tuning in the future. - Fixed a bug where Theory was not providing Fragment. - Fixed an issue where the Combo Multiplier was only being applied to QQ. - Fixed the bug introduced in the last patch, which made Steam Achievements related to Theory unobtainable. - Fixed a bug where Critical and Super Critical Damage would occur even when the Critical Rate was 0. This resolves a rare bug where enemies like Li, whose critical hits are nullified, could be defeated. Previously, this was due to a bug where Critical and Super Critical assessments occurred at a fixed 1/10,000 chance regardless of the probability. - Fixed an issue in Challenge mode where, if NukeMode is set, Scavenger Mode will also be fixed at 1. - Fixed an issue where the text and color of rewards for Legendary (such as the Debuff effect of Fibanomnom) were not displayed correctly. - Fixed an issue where the letters u, v were mistakenly displayed as p, q. - Fixed an issue where the Debuff in Exponential Challenge was displayed in Stats Breakdown. - Fixed an issue where the k exponent was not reflected in the display of the Main Spiral. - Fixed designs where Passive effects, such as lame, were not indicated. - Fixed an issue where the display would bug out when the level of Theory Exchange exceeded 1e19. As a result, we have temporarily set the maximum purchase amount for Theory Exchange to 1e19. It has been confirmed that this series of bugs has not caused any critical issues in the save data. - Fixed an issue on the Main Spiral screen where Equatino and Battle were being rendered improperly. - Fixed a problem where the rendering of Rings was extremely inefficient. With these changes, performance should dramatically improve. In this adjustment, the Active Design Effect and Passive Design Effect obtained from Spiral Equation will now start to decay at +20% for DLCs. We sincerely apologize for this situation, which is a result of our lack of adjustment. However, please understand that this change is made with the long-term development of the game in mind. We promise to update the game with better balance in the future Overview of this update The main goal of this update is to improve performance. In the last update, we identified an issue where performance significantly decreased when the value of 'r' became large, and we have addressed this. Specifically, we have reviewed inefficient calculations and rendering efficiency, greatly enhancing overall performance. Additionally, the introduction of "Performance Mode" allows the game to run very efficiently when left idle. Also, a big thanks to @Kloppie5 for greatly assisting with the performance improvements of Spiral Equation. As before, this game still contains inefficient logic, and we intend to continue addressing this as a major topic in future updates. While previous updates mainly focused on additions and adjustments to the endgame content, this update focuses on adjusting the balance of the early game. Specifically, we have revised the rewards for Tornado Prestige and adjusted the status and rewards of early game enemies. A great deal of help for this adjustment was provided by @Luna . We must not forget that the main content of this game is not just the Battle Spiral, but also creating beautiful spirals. This time, by fundamentally redesigning the Z-coordinate drawing system, we have made it possible to create more beautiful and complex spirals. A slider has been added to the cube icon in the bottom right corner, allowing you to draw spirals of various shapes by changing this slider. Don't forget to post your beautiful spirals to the community! Additionally, we received help from the following great testers for various other adjustments. @Randy @SpookieBoogie - t227 @Gup @N01 - EU - Goal: 10 Pull-ups @Mozart but a dog @samudec - T100

The latest DLC, 'Pixel Pack,' is now available for purchase! This DLC features designs that are more beautiful and enjoyable than ever before!

- Fixed an issue where Prestige was not being unlocked correctly.

- Fixed an issue where the game was not loading properly

- Fixed an issue where Critical Damage could become negative. - Reverted the probability of QQ's Attack Speed to 1/10. - Removed Super PI from Root Challenge2.

The upcoming patch includes extremely fundamental changes to the code base, and significant alterations have been made to the save data structure. While we have conducted thorough testing, there is a possibility that issues may arise with your save data. Therefore, please make sure to create a local save before updating. Additionally, similar to version 2.0.0, we have prepared a backup branch. If necessary, you can continue to play the game on the current branch. To access the v2.4.0 branch, please enter the beta code "spiralversion24". Also, please do not attempt to access version v2.4.0 of the game after playing version v2.5.0. These versions are completely incompatible, and the game will not launch correctly. For v2.4.0, please load save data from v2.4.0 or earlier versions. (Break The Inifinity!) - All parameters have been modified to exceed 1e308. - Added Scavenger mode. It increases the Reward Multiplier at the cost of sacrificing Attack Speed. - New Enemy “¥oint” - Introduced a new parameter called "Combo". This can be acquired from the eighth Theory. "Combo" - - - increases your attack power by a certain multiplier with each attack. - New Theory Upgrades - New Spiral Equation - Professor Challenges - New Z Upgrades - New Battle Upgrades - Added Effect Gain Breakdown to both Battle Upgrade and Theory Upgrade - Following the removal of Block and Resurrection, we have changed the effects of Spiral Equation as follows: Alhazen now affects Z-Reactor's exp. Pascal now influences Z-Reactor's cap. Riemann has been linked to the Design Active Effect. Kurt will now relate to the Design Passive Effect. - QQ and LI will now drop rewards for the Debuff Effect of Fibanomnom. This will be introduced as the new "Legendary" rarity - Fixed an issue where Quantum Qualk was not being unlocked correctly. - Removed Block and Resurrection. - With the fix to the Exploitation caused by Nuke mode, Nuke mode will now be unlocked up to x10000 right from the start. - The UI for Spiral Equation has been updated. Now, acquired effects can be viewed in the same manner as Challenges and Theories. - Significantly decreased the rewards from the Equation for the Z-reactor cap. - Save data files will now include the date and version in their filenames. - Optimized the logic for Loot, allowing for significantly faster Auto Loot - In Gluttony and Fury, Nuke mode is no longer enforced. However, the Root Challenge will still require Nuke1000 - Fixed an issue where loading save data from before the implementation of Theory did not correctly load the game data (e.g., Spiral Equation would break).

Added new 10 Steam Achievements

Changed so that Auto Start settings being saved for all the enemies Fix the bug where T40 being dsplayed as wait for an update Removed the effect of Diamond Passive effect and replaced it for "Reward EXP" increase (And accordingly, it should fix the bug where your exp is taken away when max buy is on) Changed how nuke mode works internally so that it gets more stable and prevent challenge exploitations Fix the bug where the formula for the first theory isn't continuous at level 91

( Quantum Entanglements) A new enemy, "Quantum Quark," has been added. It introduces a new enemy effect that will tie into the new stats below, hopefully it proves to be engaging! It includes ways to farm ATK_2, HP_2, and DEF_2, as well as the first new source of Δz since Gamma was introduced! Don't underestimate this enemy though, it's very difficult! Introducing 'Math Skill_2' Players will now have the opportunity to acquire 'Math Skill_2' from Quantum Quark. The drop rate for this item is set extremely low, making it a rare find unless you have a significantly high Rare Drop Rate. Acquiring Math Skill_2 will result in a further reduction of the enemy difficulty rate. The maximum reduction is set at 9%, which means, combined with the original rate, you can see a total enemy growth reduction of 99%. This should make rerolling enemy rewards much more meaningful, as you will now be able to reach difficulties much higher than before! Introducing 'Attack Speed_2' 'Attack Speed_2' will now be obtainable through Loot. This addition is meant to increase the excitement surrounding Loot content and to make the Rare Loot Chance within Theories more meaningful. Attack Speed_2 will start to experience diminishing returns when it exceeds +100%. Attack Speed_2 is a direct multiplier to your time to attack, so don't underestimate it! This update also introduces a brand new rendering system for spiral battle! This will allow spirals to look much more complex in the future, and introduces a framework that will make future development much easier. You might notice that your spiral looks much prettier in battle after updating! This framework is still being actively worked on, so you may notice some oddities with certain split spiral designs. This is known and will be fixed in a future update, but we didn't want to keep you waiting! Added: • A new Tornado Prestige, T43 • A new enemy: Quantum Quark • A new Spiral Equation • Nuke Mode: x10,000 • A toggle to automatically claim loot if it reaches the cap of 9999 • New battle upgrades • New theory upgrades • x10 and x25 buttons for purchasing both battle upgrades and theory materials • Engineering notation • Distinct notation for ATK2, DEF2, and HP2 in the effect gain area • Once ω reaches a value greater than 50, a new box will appear on the main spiral, allowing you to change the rotation speed of the main spiral. This is purely visual and will not affect your actual stats. Make sure to make some great designs and share them! Changed: • Nuke mode will now use the stats of the targeted enemy rather than the current difficulty. For instance, if you are starting at difficulty 0 on nuke mode 1000, the first enemy you fight will have the stats of difficulty 1000. This should not cause any major changes to farming, but was necessary for balancing purposes • Functional attack speed will now be limited to 0.002 TTA to avoid issues with player framerate and spirals looking broken. This will not limit your ability to acquire more attack speed, but it will require nuke mode in order to make use of higher attack speeds. When TTA exceeds the cap, it will appear gray. • Added color indicators to theory 1's required resources to make it more clear what resources are required • Slightly buffed the rewards from Spiral Equations and Theory progress • Adjusted the Auto Start feature so that it does not function if a value smaller than the one for Nuke Mode is entered • In the challenge menu, challenges will now illuminate upon completion • When changing nuke modes, the enemy will reset in order to re-calculate its stats based on the target difficulty • Z reactor experience requirements now scale linearly. When first logging in at first, you may notice some stats increasing rapidly, this is expected with this change and should taper off shortly • The loot progress multiplier increase from difficulty in battle is now capped at 1,000% • Fixed an issue where Z-Reactor effects did not display properly • Slightly adjusted the UI when first launching the game to avoid offline bonuses from being cut off • Fixed an issue where the rewards for T39 and T40 were misaligned • Fixed an issue where significant digits were not correctly updated for all fields • Fixed an issue where the player’s spiral battle HP display did not update its notation when the notation setting was changed in settings from Normal, Scientific, or Engineering • Fixed an issue where challenge rewards did not display properly • Decreased the inspiration cost of the first theory after level 40 • Effect gain now only displays the stats farmed from within battle spiral, rather than all stats, to make it easier to distinguish what would be optimal to obtain. Some stats may appear to be lower after this patch, but they haven't changed in effectiveness

- A new DLC "Bonfire" has been added. The Bonfire increases your Battle Reward Multiplier. Furthermore, by continuously equipping the Bonfire, you can enhance its Passive Effect. - Disabled Nuke mode in the Fury, Gluttony Challenge. - Adjustments have been made so that Loot Progress resets to zero during the Square Loot Challenge. - The maximum value for Loot has been set to 9999. This limit is intended to be removed once more efficient logic is implemented. - If there is sufficient experience in Loot, it has been adjusted to be obtained all at once. - Reassign will now be available with no limits. - Remaining upgrade time for Theory will now be displayed. - Added a QoL feature to the store that allows for all Theory levels to be upgraded at once. - The Reward Multiplier now applies to the final rewards in Battle. Additionally, during the Square Root Challenge, all rewards will become zero. In our last patch, there have been reports of a bug where some users' parameters became corrupted with invalid values (NaN), making it impossible to progress in the game. We are currently addressing this issue on a case-by-case basis and are diligently working on a fix. If you are still experiencing this problem, please contact us.

- Disabled a offline bonus during "Square Root Challenge"

- Fixed some balancing issues
