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!

vita brevis
