Hello everyone, today we have another demo update. We look forward to your feedback!
This update brings new progression systems, armor durability and repair mechanics, additional skills, dynamic difficulty balancing, expanded monster behavior, and major progress on several key locations across the map.
Updates
Armor durability and repair tools have been added. Armor with 0 durability no longer provides protection from damage.
3 new skills have been added to each skill tree. A total of 16 out of 40 planned skills are now available.
The frequency of snow footstep sounds has been reduced, as they previously blended into one continuous sound.
The bullet spawn position for weapons has been adjusted for more accurate shooting. Previously, bullets would hit slightly above the aiming point.
Frozen bodies of various residents have been added across the map and can be looted.
Bullet spread has been added when firing without aiming.
Monsters now react to gunshot sounds.
Blood decals have been added at bullet impact locations.
A dynamic balancing system has been added that affects monster health based on player performance. The better you perform, the stronger monsters become, and vice versa.
The heartbeat threshold on the Backside at which nearby monsters become aggressive has been increased to 110.
At night, the lower heartbeat threshold increase has been reduced from 10 to 5.
Various map issues have been fixed.
