The Rise of the Skeletons
A new update has been brewed for this especially wicked season. A new isle has appeared! Are you ready to explore and uncover its secrets? We've also added a bevy of combat tweaks, sound, and other general adjustments.
Summonisle
Find the new haunting island by journeying south of Hallowshire! Uncover a rickety graveyard and fight the decrepit old souls that still lurk there. You may also happen across a way to summon your own calcium-rich companions to fight by your side. After all, there's safety in numbers, and what better way to accomplish that than with the undead?
Gameplay Changes
- New UI slider that allows players to buy and sell multiple items
- Shops restock certain goods every day, and will clear their inventories of player-sold goods over time
- There are now additional following mechanics for summons
Enemy Adjustments
We've also added quite a few tweaks and overhauls to how enemies work.
- Humanoid enemies are now able to open doors and traverse them
- Enemies now have stagger and poise mechanics
- Ranged attackers can now look for a clear shot if they can't directly shoot the target
- Ranged attackers can now calculate parabolic shots
- Improved guarding mechanics and shield user AI
- Improved enemy strafing
- Added trespass areas and triggers to alert enemies
