Overview
We’ve implemented a cool visual effects system to seriously beef up boss battles. Mossclaw and Bonefinger are now formidable opponents. Heroes have been made more responsive to commands.
Hero abilities now have a degree of skill involved, further improving the feel of combat. Targeting is now supported for AOE and forward arc abilities.
As the player party expands, levels up, and equips more loot, we now automatically ramp up the challenge level. It's designed to lag somewhat, so players feel the immediate benefit of a new epic sword, or a new armor set, but without giving them a long term edge over opponents. This keeps battles challenging and interesting throughout for all players.
When it comes to adventuring, world map travel is now available from any portal. Players can either choose to travel directly to where a portal leads, or open the world map to choose an alternative destination, including specific portals that they have discovered. Sandbox maps are now interconnected, with players able to travel between locations and start multiple villages.
Key bindings are now configurable via settings, so if you are left-handed or have a non-English layout keyboard the game should now support your needs better.
Work is wrapping up on Act I, with just the faction leader boss battles left to implement. Work is progressing well on Act II where we meet the unscrupulous Grublins and glorious Toadkin empire in the Bountiful Bog region.
Workbench gains 11 new nodes for level designers, while the editor receives several new kits including the glacian ice palace and a dock front.
