Creatures Of War went live on Wednesday evening and with the launch a few bugs were encountered, a few balance issues were noticed, and adjustments were needed. With that being said here are some of the fixes that will be implemented when downloading version 1.01.
- The shotgun [HEARTSTOPPER] has had its reload speed increased by .15 seconds.
- Black Widow HP reduced by 20, they will now be 1 shot by all pistols.
- Dilophosaurus HP reduced by 20%. They will not be the bullet sponges they once were.
- Cutscene addition to make shooting down the stalactites in the caves more obvious.
- Late game boss HP reduction, for those who are not far into the game, I do not want to give away spoilers.
- Late game boss persistency enacted. Certain bosses were respawning upon death, this should no longer occur.
- Various combat rooms were awkward to fight in, those rooms have been adjusted.
- Various fall through the level bugs have been adjusted.
- Player fast skipping and blacking out the screen forever bug has been fixed.
- The bug where the triceratops kills you and you die while loading the caves putting the player into a zombie state has been resolved.
- Various Grapple Points have been moved for more consistent landing locations.
- Various collider adjustments to ensure the player does not get stuck.
- Adjustments to grenades and traps, they now will work under more conditions, previously they were operating ineffectively in water locations.
- Various ambush adjustments, creatures were spawning and de-activating, more consistency should be noticed across the board.
- General balance changes.
Over the next few weeks I will be keeping a close eye on everything that is going on from a player perspective. If anything feels unbalanced, unfair, or generally not fun, I will be on it very quickly. My next step is to get item combining put into the game. Currently if you have 1 small water bottle and 4 small water bottles, you cannot combine them. I mean to fix this and add the combination ability into the UI. This will make item management when not near an item box / fast travel location a much easier process. I will also be looking to add additional balance changes to weapons, enemies, ambushes, etc. In the near future I will be putting together a full road map for Creatures Of War bringing us from the 1.01 Release of today all the way to the 2.0 Release which will be known as the "Creatures Of War: Definitive Edition".
That is all for now!
Cheers,
Tim
