Happy new year everyone! 🥳 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday with plenty of gaming.
As promised, the changes to the meta progression system have been made in an attempt to make the game less grindy, and this build is live right now!
🔐 Unlocks
This new update makes all spells and items available from the start, with some unlocked by default, and some purchasable in the lobby map with fragments. This means the memories that are occasionally unlocked after collecting fragments during gameplay will not reward any new spells or items anymore. Instead, they only serve as a delivery mechanism for lore.
📈 Level up reroll
When leveling up you get three choices to pick from, but sometimes none of them are a great fit for the build you're going for. You can now spend your hard earned fragments to reroll the rewards in an attempt to get the spells you're looking for. Careful though, each reroll will increase in cost. At least until the next level up.
⛄ Winter map
Previously the winter map was unlocked by grinding through the collecting of a fairly large amount of fragments. No more! You can now unlock the winter map as soon as you defeat the Spider Queen. If you have already defeated the Spider Queen but have not yet unlocked the winter map, the map should be unlocked when you first boot the game with the new update.
⚙️ New settings
Many of you have requested the ability to auto fire and this is now exposed as a toggle in the settings menu. This only applies to the primary attack. The secondary attack still needs to be fired manually. Additionally, there is also a new setting to toggle head bobbing on/off while sprinting.
🚀 Next update
The above has not been the only thing I've worked on. I'm nearly finished with the next map and I'm very excited for everyone to see it. It looks and plays quite differently from the two maps already released. There will also be around 10 new spells/items. Stay tuned for more info soon!
Hope you enjoy this new update, and as usual, please get in touch and let me know what else you'd like to see in the game.
