Mistaken

Greetings, wanderers.A small status update from the world of Mistaken.First of all, thank you for all the continued engagement, feedback, bug reports and suggestions. Seeing people play, discuss and share their thoughts on the game has been incredibly useful as development continues.A larger content update is currently in the works, aimed for sometime this fall, bringing new additions alongside further improvements to the existing game.As always, I’d love to hear what you’d like to see in Mistaken going forward. New items, enemies, areas, mechanics, quality-of-life improvements or anything else - feel free to share your ideas and suggestions.And if you’d like to follow development more closely, share feedback, or chat with others about the game, you’re always welcome to join the Mistaken Discord. Until then - stay fed, stay armed, and try not to listen too closely to the whispers.

Fixes, performance improvements, quality of life settings, and a handful of new items. Patch Notes Added VSync to the settings menu. Added an optional FPS display toggle. Made some ongoing optimization improvements which should help reduce stuttering and improve FPS in certain areas of the game. Fixed an issue with the Pale Devourer where worms with fewer remaining segments could stay above ground for only a very brief amount of time, making the fight more difficult and unpredictable than intended. Added a handful of new armor pieces and weapons, obtainable through various parts of the game including merchants, quests, Mimics, and chests. This is a small first step toward adding more item variety throughout progression and making individual playthroughs feel a little less predictable. More additions along these lines are planned for a larger fall update - stay tuned.

This smaller update makes afflicted enemies more dangerous, strengthens the consequences of starvation, and announces a major update to the Mistaken Fandom wiki. Afflicted enemy changes: • Afflicted enemies are now twice as likely to appear during the night. • Afflicted enemies are now 1.5 times more likely to appear on Mistake difficulty. • These increased appearance chances stack when playing on Mistake difficulty during the night. • Afflicted enemies now deal 1.8 times their normal damage. Hunger and starvation changes: A lot of feedback has pointed towards hunger, and starvation in particular, not feeling like a noticeable enough threat. • Starving now completely disables the player’s health regeneration. • When time progresses while starving and awake, the player loses 20% of their maximum health. • Hunger-consuming activities such as fishing, mining, and chopping trees now also deal damage equal to 5% of the player’s maximum health while starving. • Starvation damage cannot reduce the player below 1 health. Tooltip improvements: • Most neutral numerical tooltip values are now displayed in green rather than white, making item values easier to read at a glance. • Negative value

This update reworks the Blacksmith’s reforging system, adjusts the balance between Transcended and Whispering items, and introduces several quality-of-life improvements. It also adds six new items, improved ultrawide support, and a collection of smaller fixes and balancing changes. Blacksmith and reforging changes The Blacksmith’s reforging system has been reworked and no longer assigns completely random item quality. Reforging now improves items through gradual quality increments. The chance of a successful upgrade decreases as the item approaches higher quality levels. Afflicted Reforging has been renamed to Whispering Reforging. The maximum affix multiplier from Whispering Reforging has been reduced from 1.8x to 1.6x. A perfectly rolled Whispering item can still surpass a Transcended item, but Whispering Reforging should no longer be the obvious choice over regular Blacksmith reforging. The Transcended affix multiplier has been increased from 1.45x to 1.5x. Rolling Transcended quality on an existing item now sets all of its affix values to exactly 1.5x their base values. Previously, the values were randomly rolled between Mastercraft and Transcended quality. The default chance f
