Hello. In this update we have character idle animations, custom super ability mode and a couple of new weapons and items. It also marks exactly 1 year in Steam early access!
Super ability mode
You can now choose how the super ability works in the customize character screen. Similar to the attack mode this allows you to tweak the character more to your preferred playstyle or build type. Let me know how you find this and whether you'd like to see some more options for some of them.
1 year of updates
It's been exactly 1 year since Horde Hunters launched in early access. The launch was admittedly a bit rocky with random game crashes and other issues. A lot has changed since then though and if I counted correctly there's been a total of 34 updates during this time. While some have been smaller hotfixes I'm proud of myself for keeping up a steady pace of updates and hope to keep it up for some time still.
Thanks to everyone who have played the game so far. As a reminder, one of the best ways to support the game is to take a moment to fill out a short Steam review, even if it's only a few words.
If you want to celebrate the 1 year anniversary properly go try the new festive weapon in the game!
