Welcome back Star Knights!
As promised, here is this weeks Friday devlog. This week has really focused on rebalancing/polishing and overhauling smaller aspects of the game. The most notable change is probably the complete tutorial overhaul. What used to be floating text in space telling you what to do is now an "in-universe" tutorial as the Grandmaster of the Order tests your piloting skills. I also changed how freezing works. Rather than immediately freezing any enemy, hitting an enemy with a cryo shot now applies a stack of freeze. stronger enemies (particularly in later areas) and bosses have a freeze resistance, which require more stacks of freeze to be applied before they are frozen. This was necessary as late game cryo shots were extremely OP since you could just immediately freeze every enemy.
- Tempest (Ship): Ability Cooldown reduced from 1.5 to 1 seconds
- Repair Kit (Relic): Added healing reduced from 10 to 2
