It's Time For Major Update 6
We're excited to bring you an update just in time for the winter sale!
As always there is a huge amount of new content, let's start with what's new
Mystveil Temple - A new town inhabited by the Shinobi and a group of scholars studying the ancient history of the island. Here you can take part in the Shinobi Trials to unlock a new sub-class. The Shinobi sub-class grants double jump and a huge damage bonus to throwing weapons. A new smithing quest line will also teach you how to use the sharpening stone to make your melee weapons capable of launching a projectile slashing attack!
Firearm Overhaul - Bullets needed a new solution and with this update they got one. Firearm projectiles now function a great deal better (especially firing and moving forward)
Boss Battles - Two brand new boss battles have been added and will be found through the main quest line. These bosses present new unique types of challenges, best be prepared
New Relics - It wouldn't be a major update without some powerful new Relic items!
New Enemies - Several new enemies including a flying dragon and an undead shinobi!
Melee Combat Overhaul - We're extra excited to see the melee combat coming together better than ever, reworked a lot of the code to make hits better and more impactful as well as improving the physics and AI behaviors of the enemies. No more crowding too close.
New core spells - Purify remains, a spell that allows you to purify a dead enemy for some HP. Summon Skeleton, a spell that allows you to summon a skeleton follower from enemy remains.
New Music Tracks and Audio Engineering - We continue to expand our playlist of music and have done some fun new things with audio that we think you'll all enjoy
Other Fixes and Improvements
Items Falling Through Map Fix - Items will no longer fall through the map unexpectedly.
Stuck Weapons Solution - No more weapons stuck in things! Ever! A nice quality of life improvement, if an item is stuck just pull it away and it should automatically unstick.
Important Note
Due to some of the recent changes, we've noticed that some saved games may randomly trigger a bug that we're still tracking down that causes a fatal error and game crash. We recommend starting new characters to avoid this crash but from what we gather the crash only seems to happen once and its somewhat random.
As always we look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions, join us on the discord or start up a steam discussion thread. Stay tuned for more amazing RFVR content!
