the great ordeal 0.0.3.17


hail to thee, honored brethren and sistren of the great ordeal. 

small new patch out this fine late spring morning, to address several more of the feedback points i was lucky to receive from keen-eyed playtesters this demo day.

MAP

  • added mission briefing screen with objectives and lore.
  • fixed map transport bugs.
  • improved battlefield level design.

AI

  • fixed bug with enemy clipping through player.
  • fixed enemy rootmotion on attack. . . hours and hours of teeth-gnashing frustration turned out to be solved by simply checking a single box in the animation import window ~_~
  • enemies are now much better at spotting each other and player.
  • enemies should be somewhat less likely to run in place.
  • changed enemy spawn positions so they are less jarringly obvious.
  • fixed enemies stuck in walls on well level.
  • combat should feel a bit less janky now i hope.

UI

  • added stat tooltips in main menu. 
  • improvements to inventory tooltips.
  • improved character customization screen.

ART ETC.

  • some improvements to player character models. 
  • some improvements to player character textures (did not have time for Witch yet, sorry)
  • some improvements to environment models and textures
  • small improvements to lighting.

ETC.

  • fixed health flask not working on low health.
  • fixed issues with melee block not absorbing damage.
  • tweaked item drop rates.
  • tweaked damage values.
  • some minor optimizations. battles can involve more active units now

far greater challenges lie ahead. . . far more harrowing straits. there will come a day when i yearn for such simple bugfixes as these. 

as i get swept up in the whirlwind of moving to my new place in the countryside, this shall be my last update for some time. i just wanted to make sure the state of the demo that's online is slightly more playable than the mess that i forced you all to endure on demo day.

endure we must, and endure we do... the ordeal trudges ever onward into the darkness ahead.

truth shines!
