Improving Player Experience Against Flying Monsters
Players had some difficulties while competing.To address these issues, we've added the first of several planned long-range weapons to the game, the basic bow and arrow. With this addition, we now aim to make it easier for players to fight flying enemies. Additionally, we implemented an auto-targeting feature for the arrow, eliminating the need for players to attempt precise aiming. We believe that the addition of auto-targeting will increase the desired tempo of the game. Allowing players to aim manually could potentially disrupt the fluidity of the game.
Enemy AI and FOV Improved
Initially, enemies, especially skeletons, had limited awareness of their surroundings and narrowly reacted to the player's actions. Following playtesting, we made significant improvements to enemy AI. Enemies will now be able to spot the player behind them more easily.
Balancing Dash Mechanics
Players will no longer take damage from anything other than traps when using the dash ability. However, to balance this feature, we added a cooldown feature. Players can no longer spam the dash repeatedly, which we hope will provide a more balanced gaming experience.
Expanded Weapon Variety
We increased the overall weapon variety and offered players the opportunity to pick up weapons found on the map. Players will now be able to replace their weapons with weapons they find in different areas of the map. Currently, bows and swords are available in the game, but we plan to introduce longswords, shortswords, crossbows, two-handed hammers, one-handed hammers, maces, and more in the future.
