v1.2.0 "Devotion": Mental Health, the Sage, the gods and the Temple

[binary-knight]

Version 1.2.0 "Devotion". Release notes: DOCS/release-notes/RELEASE_NOTES_1.2.0.md; Steam text: DOCS/release-notes/steam/STEAM_RELEASE_NOTES_1.2.0.txt.

Changes

• Mental Health (MentalSystem, MentalUi): Mental 0 to 100 with bands (Stable, Strained, Shaken, Breaking, Broken). Losses from dungeon depth strain (race x class rate, saved remainder), fights, deaths, grief, witnessing, drugs (tolerance, crash, overdose, withdrawal); recovery from the daily reset, camps, the Inn, Home, prayer, confession, friends, wilderness, learning, Willow Draughts and Healer talk therapy and rehab. Addiction cap; collapse at 0 (Healer with 5% gold fee on floors 1 to 25 and in town, a death deeper; Broken until treated), checked after every fight and before entry encounters; chained fights skipped without flee text; story fights exempt. Grouped followers take their own strain. Status sheet, band tags, GMCP vitals, screen reader. Five save sites (MentalSchema, legacy load at 100).
• Sage: new spells (Dulling Mist, Scholar's Mark, Slumber Mist, Compel, Unveil the Pattern), soft control on bosses, party wards (highest wins), Ocean's Memory and Blur end with the fight, seal and Library bonuses, Sage teammate AI, PvP mapping. Freeze, Magician Sleep and Frost Bomb share the monster hold budget; weakening counts once.
• Gods (FaithSystem, GodBoonSystem, GodDeedSystem, GodSwitchSystem, MiracleSystem, ImmortalDeedSystem, NpcFaithSystem, WeeklyGodSystem, OldGodEchoSystem):
  • one god list (the ten Temple gods, called canon gods in the code, plus player-gods), Favor 0 to 100 with four tiers, neglect, per-source daily caps, five save sites, read-time standing from player_data;
  • a boon and a Mental ward per domain, recalculated at login, the Temple, worship changes, tier crossings and player-god changes, routed through monster, group, PvP and world boss fights;
  • deeds and taboos at their real call sites, one shared +4 deed cap a day; self-defence street kills are not murder;
  • switching costs all Favor plus wrath, once, with a saved guard; desecration standing penalty per world week (DailySystemManager.WorldWeek, 7 PM Eastern reset boundaries);
  • Miracles at Chosen, once a day (MiracleUsedToday), in monster, boss, Old God and group fights; Mortis's cheat death replaces the old divine save; not PvP or world boss;
  • player-god bless (+2 Favor, tier bonus, NPCs 10%), chastise (-5 Favor, once a day per follower), no smiting own followers; offline Favor through one SQL transaction with a failure result;
  • NPC faith (fill-once weighted pick), 5 standing per NPC follower, loosely devout NPCs recruit and convert easily, player-god boon scale compares players only;
  • god of the week (+5% XP in TeamHQBonus.ApplyXP, picked once per world week by a conditional upsert);
  • Old God echo (+10% weapon and spell damage at Zealot, lines at Zealot and Chosen).
• Temple: rebuilt as rooms (Nave, Undercroft, Faith, Old Stones, Halls of Memory, Chapel, Deep Temple), menus from one item list per room (visual, screen reader, BBS 80 columns); Evil ward lifted (Nave refuses offerings to good gods other than the follower's own); Temple Confession removed (ConfessionsToday still read); Aurelion resolved in the Deep Temple through the dungeon's result handling (CanEncounterBoss), floor 85 points back; old keys print a pointer; 75 unused keys removed.
• Stat rewards: player reward and penalty writes moved from derived stats to base stats so they survive the next recalculation (NPC, world and admin writes and Iron Rations hardening are left for 1.2.1); temporary effects end at rest; artifacts and the NG+ cycle bonus restored once at login (idempotent guards).
• Input: strict yes/no prompts everywhere (AskYesNoAsync, source guard), single-player menus need Enter by default (setting E).
• Online: "Also here" and the auction broadcast exclude the viewer by account (a family name or alt no longer lists the viewer); a session dropped before entering the world posts no departure; character creation rolls survive a disconnect (creation_rolls).
• Secret bosses: only a win clears the chamber, pays once, group members cleared on a win.
• Translations: every class's spell names and descriptions, god titles and descriptions, drug and prison activity messages in five languages.
• Tooling: electron-client/generate-sprites.js reads the PixelLab key from PIXELLAB_API_KEY only; the key that was in the file remains in git history and must be revoked at PixelLab.
• Version: GameConfig.Version 1.2.0, VersionName "Devotion", title screen tagline "The gods are watching." (banner keys in five languages, README). Player-facing text calls the ten gods the Temple's gods, since the Old Gods are the story's original divine.

Data

New tables, created at start: creation_rolls, god_standing_penalties. New world_state key: god_of_week. The short-lived god_favor table is dropped at start. Existing saves load with Mental 100 and Favor 10 with their current god.
