Unity Resolution Selector on by Default
Many people were experience the dreaded Unity "Black Screen" bug when launching the game. To fix this from happening, I decided to enable the Unity Resolution Selector by default, which will prevent the black screen from occurring.

Original postHoly SHIT! We have an update!!!
You know me. I won’t stop. Can’t stop. The Demon demanded another round of polish and tweaks, so I did. I bashed my keyboard until the following things were completed:
-Updated game to latest version of Unity and dependent frameworks (you probably don’t care about this)
-Players can now shoot when they are snared via the Crown of Thorns tarot card
-Tarot card pickup sprite has been made larger to stand out more
-Holy water grenades now bounce off of shields
-Secret passages in the Cemetery arenas are more visually distinctive
-Dashing has a slightly longer cooldown time
-Dashing into another player will push them
-The Possessed tarot card will now cause you to auto fire but will not cause you to be pushed back
-Game winning score is now MORE DRAMATIC
-Volume dials have been added to the pause menu
-Tarot card descriptions have been added to the tarot card selection menu screen
-End of Times Hardcore mode now features friendly fire. Good luck >:)
-Fire particles have been improved (I think!)
-New shield equip/holster animations
-More sound effects and feedback throughoutHowever, outside of game breaking bugs, this will represent the last major update to the game. I know, the four of you that care are heartbroken, but we all must move on.

Build 1.0.1 Now Available
This build includes a bug fix that was causing players to be inadvertently stunned upon successfully shield bashing another shielded player. Also, shield bashing a shielded player will no longer kill them, but instead just break apart their shield.

Boss Battle Update
In an earlier update, I talked about the End of Times boss battle, showing off the current design and implementation. As I continued to develop it, I quickly came to realize the boss battle was falling into all of the bad boss battle tropes. Things like inverting spatial control
Original postIn an earlier update, I talked about the End of Times boss battle, showing off the current design and implementation. As I continued to develop it, I quickly came to realize the boss battle was falling into all of the bad boss battle tropes. Things like inverting spatial control by having the boss attack from behind, suddenly introducing all new game rules and being overly bullet spongy. Mainly though, the boss battle wasn't testing all of the skills and mechanics the player spent all this time learning and mastering.
That's why I decided to scrap the original idea completely and come up with something new. The boss battle is now being designed to almost feel like a bot Versus match. The boss will attack, and most importantly defend itself, in the same ways that the player can. This is forcing the player to really master his shotgun & melee attacks, shield blocking and quick movement to avoid attacks.
Here is some new concept art for the new boss. The Devil takes many forms!
And here's a sneak peak of what he looks like in-game.
