Custom Difficulty Inscryption Mod

A simple mod that introduces changes to the mechanics of dynamic difficulty in KCM. In the original game, this mechanic serves as a tool for smoothly increasing difficulty as the player progresses through the game map and upgrades their deck. It depends on which cards Leshy will place, in what quantity and how often.

What this mod do?

It adds a configuration file where you able to:

• Choose one of 4 difficulty presets;
• Manual change Minimum and Maximum limits of difficulty with custom Difficulty Modifier;
• Activate one of two KCM difficulty based challenges. as bonus it fixes the previously mentioned bug, which may be familiar to those who have played with Extended Maps or Endless Mode.

Preparation

Configuration files are generated after launching the game, with the mod installed, at least once. After you can find it in BepInEx configs folder (BepInEx/config) by name "N0.1DEA.CustomDifficulty".

Difficulty Presets

The mod adds 4 difficulty presets for easy installation and to start playing without unnecessary settings.

Manual Settings

[!] To make your manual preset works, "Difficulty" parameter must be "Custom". There are 3 parameters available to you here. Maximum allowed value is 20!

Min difficulty value

The minimum value of difficulty. Logically? :>

Min difficulty value

The maximum value of difficulty. The upper limit of difficulty. :>

Difficulty Modifier

Addition value to the current difficulty, that can be negative.

Formula

New Difficulty = Current Difficulty + Difficulty Modifier
New Difficulty + Min difficulty value
New Difficulty = The lowest between Max Difficulty and New Difficulty

New KCM Challenges

Mod adds 2 difficulty based challenges. (Thrice said, lol. That's me)

Annoying Difficulty Challenge

Override current difficulty with Annoying preset (only inside game, don't worry about config). 20 points reward. Try yourself versus strongest Leshy encounters from the start. It also affect on opponent totem choosing, and other card based challenges. Good luck.

Annoying Difficulty Challenge

Override current difficulty with Random preset only inside game, don't worry about config). :> 10 points reward. Absolutely random, so the average reward. Definitely good luck.
