Get snarly for February's content update, and We Need To Go Deeper's two year anniversary month! This month, we have no less than 3 new beastly bosses, enemy improvements, fixes, and more!
Features
NEW Boss: The Leviathan! - The beast of legends, The Leviathan has revealed itself within the Cursed Waters, lurking in a boney graveyard. Not only is this a fearsome beast with its hull-shattering beak and claws, but she's clever too, known to dash away only to ambush its prey from new angles.
NEW Boss: The Sightless! - These slithering twin eels lurk in the shadowy Dark Depths, each blind in their own way. Luckily for them, a scent and sound is all they need to track down and surprise their prey by bursting out of the very soil they reside within.
NEW Boss: The Erupting Shell! - Smoldering no more, this gargantuan tortoise in the Volcanic Depths has developed none other than an entire erupting volcano on its rocky exterior! Boiling with rage inside and out, the Erupting Shell will protect its vent-heated domain at any cost.
Smarter Swimmers! - The AI of your average swimming foe has been improved! Swimming enemies can now better target their prey to aim their attacks where it really counts! Additionally, swimmers now know when they've been outmatched, and will temporarily flee the scene if things are looking bad for them. This will also allow for a new variety of swimmer types in future, as fleeing behavior can be tweaked on a per-enemy basis!
Fixes and Changes
- Barnacle mines can no longer be spawned infinitely during sub-biomes.
- Lair Guardian ragdoll can no longer be farmed indefinitely.
- Butcher knife now only creates meat from dead bodies/ragdolls.
- Several colliders fixed to prevent ground-based enemies from floating.
- Enemy sound effects given random pitch variance.
- Mud Giant's sucking ability tweaked to prevent cheesing.
- Rare Mud Giant "disappearing" bug fixed with cave console timeout.
- Fixed a bug causing slow enemy turning.
- Improved charging behavior math.
- fixed a visual glitch causing bubbles to appear in between layers of the Pale Whale.
