Original postIt's been two years since the launch of Redgar: The Space Viking and we're celebrating our second anniversary with a truly massive update! We've packed this patch with a ton of new content, quality-of-life improvements, and visual overhauls to make your space-viking experience better than ever.
New Content & Lore
Dive deeper into the world of Redgar with over 3,000 words of new optional dialogue and the introduction of new characters. For our dedicated lorehounds, we've also added spoiler-tier secrets and a new hidden achievement to discover, alongside improvements to the Intro lore slideshow.
Visual & World Overhaul
The universe of Redgar has never looked better! We've implemented a host of visual upgrades, including atmospheric fog and ambient light animations, as well as making world objects animated. Beyond the environmental visuals, you'll see updates to character animations, level textures, and various sprites. Even the cosmos got a facelift with an updated and fixed space background.
User Interface & Experience
We've overhauled many elements of the game's interface and flow to create a smoother, more immersive experience. The dialogue/cutscene screen has been completely redesigned, and you'll find general UI tweaks across the board, including changes to the main menu and Esc menu. The way you navigate has been improved with a redesigned and scaled waypoint arrow, along with tooltip scaling and changes to the tutorial tooltips. We've also made adjustments to level transition and character placements for better flow.
Gameplay & Tech Enhancements
Experience more satisfying combat and abilities with several technical and visual updates. The aimbot now features a red color when locked on an enemy and has had its movement smoothened. Your abilities have received new flair with dedicated visual effects for teleporting and the ammo generator. Finally, controlling your view is more precise with a new camera rotation snap feature (default controls: 1 and 3 to rotate, 2 to reset).
This massive patch is rounded out by a plethora of minor adjustments, tweaks, bug fixes, and general polishing.
Thank you for two years of space-viking adventure. Jump in now and experience the biggest update yet!
