This weeks update brings some major improvements to projectile netcode, reworked Void Wizard fight, updated and optimized post processing that will allow for more graphics features later on.
Ghost has been hard at work with the new dungeon and Void Wizard visuals, and we'll also be looking to rework/refine the other 2 original boss fights in the game as well.
The new projectile netcode gives the client more power over if their projectiles hit or not. This also has a downside, since it will allow potential cheaters to control projectiles, but since that's not a concern currently, this feature is enabled by default. It can be disabled by editing the server config file when hosting a dedicated server.
This new feature also helps with desync in singleplayer games, since it's essentially just a locally hosted server.
See the full changelog below.
Changelog
Additions:
Added bird critters.
Added server setting to allow clients to handle their own projectile hits (default on). This decreases projectile desync by a lot, but also allow potential "cheaters" to control projectiles.
Changes/misc:
Reworked Void Wizard fight, now with 2 phases and animations.
Void Wizard will always drop either travel scrolls or recall scrolls.
Reworked post processing completely, optimizing and adding new functionality.
Increased grass and crop weave a small amount.
Critters will now leave the map if it's running and at the edge.
Increased the critter spawn rate.
And some other minor changes and fixes.
You might have to restart Steam to get the update.
