Hi everyone
Yay, we have finally released our massive update to Successor with lots of new content. The big headline this time is the implementation of procedural systems,
However, we will keep the description in the patch notes relatively loose since we add so much content and regularly change core features and mechanics.
Patch Notes 0.5.2
Tutorial map
Are completely removed but will be redesigned and integrated again in a future update. This means for now, that anyone playtesting the Demo must learn by doing or die trying. ːsteamsaltyː

Changes to combat fundamentals.
There are two armor types. Light armor offers little protection against any damage, whereas Plated armor offers significant protection. However, finding weapons that deal breaching damage will easily penetrate plated armor. Shields provide little protection against standard weapons but are effective against arrows.
Most heroes have been adjusted to fulfill their intended purpose better.
Playtesting:
The Demo is still pretty rough on the edges and lacks essential features, but your feedback is vital for us in making the game awesome.
