So far the following balance tweaks and polishes will be in the next patch:>Morton has his ultimate item, the Puzzle Box>Papineau gets several defensive/healing and offensive skills that use cleaning items in your inventory>Calm Dan buffed, and the start of a stream gets more viewers based on how well the previous one did, however Beg For Money will reduce the maximum amount of viewers you can get>Dan's quest will permanently increase viewership>Sophie has increased ballistics and critical hit chance when hiding, and the damage of special marbles scales with level>Ambush will do more damage depending on how many status effects the target has>Coral Slingshot added to the flooded apartment: +45 ballistics and additional luck>All marble locations in the overworld will give special marbles in addition to normal ones, including the new slingshot in the flooded apartment>Hellen's Soul Feast will only target enemies, and both it and Soul Drain will be stronger>Massacre no longer removes the stalk status from enemies>Fallow Will will make weapon skills cost more STM>Unmask has been buffed to only hurt, confuse (40%), and stalk (80%) enemies, but costs 4 STM>Hellen is immune to the Soulless status>Grim Harvest does more damage, correctly applying the HP-reliant damage with the max health instead of the halved max health when the skill is used>Soulless is removed at end of battle; before, if a party member's soul was taken, they would mistakenly have 20% reduced stats forever>Grafting now revives an ally instead of healing them; health healed depends on Hellen's max health>Soulless and Soul Drain have new icons; Massacre uses the Kitchen Knife for the skill icon>Some of the beef in Lyle's bedroom is unable to be picked up unless you're starving, as a way of checking whether you're still on track for the Ascetic challenge (similar to the plant now only having the talk option if you're lonely). Ascetic Sam will give Fridge Horror the panic status1/2
>>4069069>Roaches learns Roach Blizzard at level 15>Voidblade skills have a melee tag and breakrate>Spine has a "Graft" skill that gives equipment and an associated skill when used on an enemy, can only be replaced by using Graft again>Spider is able to equip the rarer weapons (some examples are Voidblade, Ocular Tetherblade, or Spine Dagger)>Keep the Change and Machine Tackle got buffed, and Overdrive Chip has two new modes: Economy (reduced STM cost but slightly reduced stats) and Self-Repair (10% life regen but 5% STM loss)>Monty has level scaling with his skills (Pyromania for example will now do 100 + [level]*10 damage to all enemies) and is able to use Masterpieces for double damage. Xaria is also buffed>Rat Child can now learn Devour from Joel>You are able to duplicate the Indigo Mask and have separate uses for each instead of them having the same pool of daily uses>Long Haul Flow reduces the stamina cost of all skills rather than gradually increases STM (because of this, Meteor Strike will potentially be something more viable than a kick)>Dungeon Dance will only give Sam counterattacks, not make him unable to act>Running Tackle will deal 600+ damage with the right equipment as well as Ernest/Dan/Aster's DEF buffs>You are able to unequip the Filthy Ring>Rat Child will be able to equip slingshots>Crushing resistance removed from many enemies>Piercing resistance removed from hand enemiesBugs fixed: https://lookoutside.miraheze.org/wiki/Known_Bugs#Pending_Bug_Fixes

What is the rationale behind corruption damage weaknesses and resistances, anyway? I understand that bugs are weak to crushing but enemies that look soft aren't, and anything fleshy or eye-themed is weak to slash and pierce respectively.
>>4069142I apologize. I'll go play VIPPER masterpieces on your command now.
What if the apartments and the building itself weren't as rundown before as they look and just changed because the Visitor was fucking up their space and time, like with everything else?
I'm surprised there isn't a "offshoot" stat to track how many Cursed like Jeanne and Frederic and Phillippe and Kevin and Memorial you meet that lets Sam refute Unity
>>4069807Sounds like cope.
>>4069802Depends on what you mean. It's true for bottomless pits in apartments like the tooth family's, and the initial idea behind them was a form of fast transportation around the building (reused for the deep basement area with Charan). I don't know about the apartment bathrooms that lack sinks, showers, or toilets, maybe Henderson is just a slumlord.
Realistically the rat kid will probably not live long considering how fast he grows up. He looks like 8? 12? by the end of the game if you take care of him and he was barely born when you picked him up. He probably has the lifespan of a hamster.
>>4069822This is assuming that the rat kid will not grow exponentially until he covers swathes of the planet.

>>4069885And all Jeanne's heads are Jeanne and all the Frederics are the real Frederic and Phillippe is not separate from the Spore Mother
>>4069910>all Jeanne's heads are JeanneOriginally they were supposed to grow back into tamer versions and sprawl out over the apartment, helping you in battle if they were nearby. Pic related, unused overworld sprite.>all the Frederics are the real FredericThey are parts of a whole. You get the full story of what happened from Faceless and Toxic, after all.>Phillippe is not separate from the Spore MotherHe doesn't think so, and judging by how you have to nurture his remains (unlike Laughing Mold and Comatus who were never part of the hivemind), he isn't.
>>4069884I understand that they as well as the other characters/monsters you mentioned are a simulacrum for what you eventually learn is Earth fragmenting and evolving away from its progenitor, but it's just that. Things are far more irrevocable when the fabric of reality itself is involved. Seeing >>4069886, it pretty much ends up imitating Sybil regardless of its feelings.
>>4069319This guy is so BUGGED haha!
>>4069951The Visitor isn't even one complete being, it needs time for it to become aware of what its other parts are doing, it's likely it has a decentralized nervous system like an octopus.If anything it should be easier for the Visitor to divide than for it to consume Earth especially considering the dividing that the Visitor keeps doing to CursedIf the Spider Husk was truly Sybil, then she'd be able to make its heart useless against her
>>4070003>it needs time for it to become aware of what its other parts are doingIt does take a while for the world to completely fracture beyond repair, rather than reality blinking out in an instant. Whether the Visitor only realised that was happening hours after the fact or if it prefers to absorb a slurry, I've no idea.

Does the Exalted Four grow in the endings? They seem kinda small in their overworld sprite, but in the Promise ending they’re enormous. I guess it makes sense, given the E4 need to somehow go from a creature that can be beaten by a well-equipped part of four to a monster that can single handedly butcher 124 super-intelligent kaiju as well as hundreds of millions of others
>>4070067
>>4070075The Exalted Four are much bigger in pic related than they are in the overworld when you're about to fight them.

There was some new "content" in the devstream. Frank was addressing a bug where you'd get a game over if your only other party member leaves/is kicked out while Sam is unconscious (mitigated by slightly healing Sam). Of course this would also be an issue for Spine in Meat World since you have to be alone there, so he decided to have fun with it.He also said he would add Confusion content but didn't specify.
>>4069988Kissing him means you're married, he just misinterprets the attack kinky roleplay. Telling him to leave your apartment on the other side equals divorce.
use case of cash sock?
>>4070360>After kicking out a companion, if the companion has a status effect that wears off, the game will still mention them losing the status effect despite not being there.Would be funny if, before this bug is patched, someone kicked out Lyle while he had the guilt status effect, and at some point a couple in-game hours later they get the random message popup "Lyle got over it".
>>4070003>considering the dividing that the Visitor keeps doing to CursedThat fits. Eldritch mutations always seemed like tumors to me. There is probably some mental state at play that decides whether the extra face or eyes split up and become an offshoot or stay attached to the main body.
>>4070189The endings in which Sam turns into a gargantuan eldritch who outgrows planet earth could theoretically make him grow so big that he will eventually be able to fist the visitor.

I wonder if people's lifespans changed after mutating. Disregarding those that were unfit to live from the get go due to fucked transformations. But maybe it depends on whether the transformation has just changed the face and maybe added some claws or if it changed the person on a cellular level like Jeanne, Audrey or Lyle.
https://lookoutside.miraheze.org/wiki/Sam>Sam is a middle aged man in his 30s,[1]Did a fucking 15 year old write this, how is thirties middle-aged?
>>4070568We will all die with 60
>>4070285Ideally whatever Francis adds for Confusion wouldn't require Spine to be spared, but I'm not optimistic that he can add something to Apartment 31 without it revolving around her in some shape or form. He's not much better than the fanbase who will look at Stretchface's line about time passing 23 times slower and relate it entirely to the designated waifubait rather than the character actually saying it (and insist that said character is just a random one-off enemy that doesn't need new interactions).
>>4070568When I first heard Sam was middle aged I thought he would be 50 years old or so. It would make his life so much more sad and pathetic.
>>4071016He's not middle-aged, that assumption stems entirely from this Hellen mealtime interaction>I don't know what the Visitor looks like, so I'm imagining it as a man of average height and build. Middle-aged. Sunken eyes. Despairing eyes.Maybe he aged like shit, but Frankie described Hellen as chronologically older than Sam in the AMA.
>>4071016Realistically though neither his nor Lyle's lives were likely to change between 30+ and 50 if the Visitor didn't come. Nobody will employ you anyway if you were a NEET for most of your life and once you pass the late 20s or so you will be too used of being a loner and slack off to get the energy back to go outside and do anything. Hell, I was never social but up till my early 20s I still had somewhat of an urge to find at least one good friend or to communicate with others about my interest. Now meeting with somebody once every two months is such a chore that I come up with excuses to stay at home instead. The only semi-social thing I have the energy for is to post on this basket-waving forum here. Though that aside, based on his in-game pictures I assumed that Sam was in his mid 40s. Dude must have had a hard life.
>>4071049>best goddamn soup you ever had in your lifeworst*
>>4071069Sam always gave off the impression of being a decent cook IMO. He can of course only work with the little shit he finds in that house. So no camembert for Aster. Although this would be a funny character quest to find it.
>>4070076That chick has an awful habit of spamming obnoxious "cheers" one by one so that they clog up the screen and distract normal people from the thing Frankie's working on.
Sophie's apartment is finally getting a toilet.
I wonder what Spine’s relationship with Confusion and Stretchface looks like. I get the impression that those two are stuck in their respective rooms while Spine can roam for whatever reason, and given both of them hate Sam* I feel like her crazy love for him must drive them a bit mad.*Though I do get the impression that Stretchface less hates Sam and is more just frustrated with him and the general situation. Confusion seems more hostile, actively trying to kill him while Stretchface thinks he can genuinely help Sam by pulling his face open
>>4071369It's not that they aren't free to roam the apartment, they simply feel the same way about someone in their room for days at a time as any other NEET would.
Lyle’s so much more repulsive than Spine. Even ignoring the whole>malething Lyle has going on, Spine has no choice whatsoever but to be in her situation. She didn’t choose to be turned into a flesh monster but was, didn’t choose to be stuck in Sam’s apartment but was, didn’t choose to have subjective years go by, slowly driving her mad, but does. Lyle on the other hand was a weird stalker freak entirely thanks to his choosing, and was creeping into Sam’s house and probably taking photos of him without his knowledge since even before the Visitor turned him. And he shows no issue with subjecting the player to endless torment by trapping their soul (and many others) within a photograph for his own amusement, while Spine genuinely believes turning you into a meat thing is kind and will help you
>>4071373I don’t think Stretchface would be freaking out and telling himself “he can do this” with reference to enduring Sam beating off or showering if he could just leave the bathroom. And I don’t think it’s coincidental that Confusion loses his marbles over Sam specifically sleeping all day, specifically calling him “the sleeper” if he could just leave the room too.>Why do you sleep in my room? Why? I live here. You sleep a very long time. For weeks at a time. When there is SO much WORK to DO.
>>4071376>fantasy rape creature is easier to stomach than weird guy with mental problemsVery original opinion.Also no one in Apartment 31 is an actual person, just Ship of Theseus'd entities.
>>4071384An innocent victim of cosmic horror who genuinely wants what’s best for you >> creepy stalker of his own volition who will torture you inside a photograph forever because it titillates him
Spine’s so much more repulsive than Lyle. Even ignoring the whole>femalething Spine has going on, Lyle has no choice whatsoever but to be in his situation. He didn’t choose to be a persona non grata but was, didn’t choose to be born with neurological disorders but was, didn’t choose to have years go by, slowly driving him mad, but does. Spine on the other hand was a weird stalker freak entirely thanks to her choosing, and was creeping into Sam’s bed and molesting him without his knowledge for months rather than doing anything else. And she shows no issue with subjecting the player to endless torment by mutilating, brainwashing and imprisoning them (and many others) for her own gratification, while Lyle genuinely believes encapsulating you in a photograph will bring you back to life
>innocent
>>4071383If that is the case, I'd like to know what other oddly specific revelations Stretchy had besides "time passes 23 times slower".
>>4071386Okay, I'll answer this rather than post meme arrows.The reality is that the "creepy stalker" is a more down-to-earth portrait of both loneliness and complete ineptitude. He's a fuckup by normalfag standards, but not someone who would be talked about as a mass shooter. The latter (or more accurately an eccentric equivalent) is rather something cooked up the inner world he escapes into. This is why his quest is so great besides all the different character interactions, because it's made more apparent than ever to him that the aforementioned fantasies ruined his life, and he has to learn how to set aside his maladaptive coping mechanisms regarding photography when it's forever embedded into his biological makeup by now; if not, he disappears from the world outside his apartment entirely. Dan's quest is similarly about hobbies and "just b urself lol" being detrimental at times.Francis set out to make a character whose raison d'etre is to (by his own admission) make you extremely uncomfortable, and succeeded. Spine barely demonstrates theory of mind, let alone budges from the demonic fatalism she's cultivated. There's never actually a moment where she understands you don't want to be raped and borged (perhaps, in her defense, it wouldn't matter in the end since at that point you've discarded prior memories and accepted your fate as a blob of flesh), she just thinks you're "not ready yet". From a practical standpoint, there's no reason to give this thing the benefit of the doubt as you might with a troubled acquaintance from your previous job, and if you do spare it, it becomes even more taxing on your mental health.
>>4071376He's cute so who cares. My cat is an asshole too but he's a cat, so it's alright. Plus, his issues are relatable if you're a sperg.
>>4070509A variation of "Attack the Visitor" where Sam inflicts Panic (and Pain) on the Visitor, causing him to turn into an enormous cluster of arms hellbent on injuring the Visitor with building sized kitchen knives and pool cues
Was it ever hinted how Edwin remade the meat world guys into what they are? I know that he did it, but he would need a special power to turn them into what they are, otherwise they would have just been crippled or killed by him. I guess he has the power of reassembling in some way, which might either be caused by how he witnessed the visitor or by a personality trait of his, similar to how Lyle can trap people in photos because he likes photography. Further, if the victims were his neighbours that went to the apartment to check on him the original apartments of them could only be apartment 30, 34 or maybe 35 before Sybil moved in. Meaning that one of these apartments might have been that of Spine, Stretchface and such, unless I misinterpret things.
>>4071831In his notes he mentions crushing them, and he probably has access to space-themed mutilation techniques like spaghettification and rapid decompression. As for the flesh piles in meat Apartment 33, they might have been C/SF/S's doing, seeing as Edwin doesn't really bother with that area himself. Alternatively, those three were cobbled together from said flesh piles, or were the only souls that could endure the torture Edwin put them through.
>>4071873This is why I would never go near any spiders. Up to this day I don't know if they're jumpy (supposedly one of the reasons for why they've chosen Lyle to be spider-based) and flee or if they are more likely to jump right into your face if you go near them and I am not willing to find out. I also legit believe that spiders and flies have supernatural powers because they will manifest out of nowhere no matter how closely shut your apartment is and how often you clean everything.
>>4071888House spiders cannot survive outside of indoor environments + they mitigate your pest problem. Let them live rent free.
>>4071831Considering he was among the first witnesses and studied the Visitor for an extended period of time like Sybil, I wouldn't put it past him to exercise spatial distortion potent enough to grab people from outside the floor or even building.
If you enter apartment 31 with Lyle Edwin should attack him first and demand his lens back.

Sam killed Phillippe and everyone he cared about, brought him back to life, and treats him like a brain damaged pet for his own pleasure. He also hated the family next door for no reason, and probably had a hand in his parents' deaths. He's a psychopath.
>>4072203>All new Apartment 31 content goes to you-know-who? Honestly no I don’t know who
>>4072219>probably had a hand in his parents' deathsI understand the first two but where the hell did that come from?
>>4072236I was shitposting, but this bit in the Mask ending may be suggestive of something>You take one half of your sandwich back with you. You remember your mom cutting these into triangles.>She is cutting them into triangles now. But you already have a piece. It's the same piece she is cutting now. You tell her not to bother cutting it, because she's done it already.>This time, the words catch in your throat. You just hover there behind her, your now countless arms hanging limply. She turns and screams, so you disappear. You must have startled her.>Maybe you need to hide so you don't scare people so much.
>>4072226I think he means Edwin
