Development Updates #28

🧙‍♂️ Development Updates #28

In the last 2 weeks we were mainly working on 🚨 BIG balance changes to all spells 🚨, new enemies, QOL changes and bug fixes.

There was a big problem before where the Basic Spell felt way too powerful whereas Special Spells felt like they costed too much mana or had too high cooldown. These changes try to do something about this problem. We want to move power from Basic Spell to Special Spells. We want you to use more fun Special Spells than spamming the Basic Spell and using Special Spells occasionally.

✅ Added:

• [Enemies] Added new enemy called Conjoined Revenant.
• [QOL] Added short time slow effect when taking damage.
• [QOL] Added quick swapping spells slots with buttons when the Inventory is open.
• [QOL] Added option to quickly change Inventory tab to the next or previous one using Trigger Buttons on a controller.
• [QOL] Control Hints are now automatically disabled at the beginning of third run.
• [Basic Spell] Basic Spell sprite and element is now changed based on the selected wizard.
• [Spells] Added new spell called Volley of Deadly Skulls.
• [Dialogs] Added special dialogue after finishing all challenges.
• [Dialogs] Added special dialogue after unlocking all artifacts, spells and magic weapons.
• [Resolutions] Added 3840 x 2160 resolution.

🔄 Changed:

• [Graphics] V-Sync is now disabled by default. That's because when AMD Fluid Motion Frame and V-Sync are enabled at the same time then the game is not able to recognize short button presses or other things related to a very short time. Because of that players who had both AMD FMF and V-Sync enabled at the same time were not able to even jump, making the game a completely unplayable mess. Thanks AMD for such amazing feature of removing frames from the game :/
