--------------------------------

*Previously, heroes that survived for several days received a penalty based on the number of days survived, this mechanic discourages comebacks and punished players who keep playing after the run's peak had passed.

From now on, Fame points received from defeating enemies will decrease linearly as days go by, but Fame already earned in previous days will not be touched.

With this change, you can expect an overall increase in Fame gain, especially in long runs.
