It's been a few weeks, but here we are!
Combat improvements
- Removed stamina. No more clunky out of stamina attacks.
- All enemies now have defined block chances that are not full 100%. They won’t block your attacks endlessly anymore.
- Enemies now cannot block while taunting, but they’ll try to dodge your attacks.
- Enemies can now use feints in an attempt to trick you before actually attacking.
- Smarter enemy dodging and more animation variety.
- Enemies now have a chance to counter attack right after dodging, blocking, getting hit or getting parried.
- General combat rebalance due to all the changes.
In general, combat is now more fast-paced and dynamic, and as a result enemies have to be smarter to keep up, and you'll need to keep your reflexes sharp.
Level content
- Added a small cave filled with goblins (and loot!) near the end of the demo level.

Other changes
- Improved overall lighting throughout the level.
