Tips and Tricks update is here!
New Player features. The biggest feedback I got after launch was that the game was difficult to understand and overwhelming to get into. Well in the Tricks and Tips update there are two new systems to help show you ropes! Introducing Tooltips: Tooltips will show up when you hover over something in the HUD such as your stamina bar or a shop item to explain what it is, this feature has 3 settings: everything, items only, and off. Field Guide: Need to look up a specific ability, enemy, or keyword? The Field Guide has your back! Scroll through the pages with the lower arrows and switch guides with the upper ones. I promised improved tutorials but with these new features the tutorials become kind of redundant, so I’ve simply corrected outdated information and added lines pointing the player to the new learning systems.
Progression. Starting the game with 75 abilities to choose from would be overwhelming. So you will now start with only 8 abilities unlocked for each class and you will level up over time by gaining xp for completing levels. Each level up unlocks new abilities and mechanics!
Minimap and camera improvements. The camera now moves with your cursor allowing you to look in the direction you’re aiming at. This allows the camera to be zoomed in closer to the action while keeping the same range of vision. The minimap is here and for the time being it is only accessible in the inventory menu, this may change in the future.
Mobility. Another common feedback was that the game felt sluggish. Well I am addressing this by improving the base movement speed as well as adding new movement traits, adding a roll, buffing sprint and adding speed, ghost, and cannon pads around the map to help you escape sticky situations.
Music. Yep, the game now has a full ost, credit to Platonic Games Studio!
New Abilities. Many, many, new abilities. I decided to delay the Paladin in favor of finishing the existing classes instead, each class now has 25 total abilities!
&& Much much more!
Have fun and thanks for playing! - Max Wilde
