Hello, Plague Doctors!
Thank you so much for your incredible support and feedback. We're thrilled to present our latest and most significant update yet, one that fundamentally changes the core aspect of the game—the combat!
Our main goal was to make every single strike feel more impactful, weighty, and satisfying. From now on, you'll feel the power behind every action you take on the battlefield. We hope you love it!
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what’s changed:
✨ What's New?
Combat Enhancements (The "Game Feel" Overhaul):
Impactful Hits: We've added Hitstop, Hitflash, and Knockback effects! Every successful hit is now visually and dynamically much more satisfying.
Camera Effects: Melee attacks now trigger a slight but effective camera shake, adding even more weight to your strikes.
Visual & UI Improvements:
Polished Visuals: We've updated the occlusion mask (how you see your character behind objects). The old clean circle has been replaced with a more stylized and visually appealing design.
Interaction Icon: The interaction icon for the (E) key has been changed for better clarity and visibility.
New Player Experience:
Tutorial/Controls Display: We've added a brief description of the controls and core mechanics to the top-left corner of the screen to help new players get started more easily.
🐞 Bug Fixes
Rat Form: As intended, you can no longer use attacks while in rat form.
Ranged Mobs: Fixed an issue where the death rattle of ranged mobs would cause them to shoot one last projectile.
Transformations: Resolved a bug that occurred when rapidly switching between forms, which previously caused transformations to glitch out.
Orc Transformation: You can no longer transform into the orc before actually defeating him.
We can't wait to hear what you think about this update! Your feedback is crucial as we continue to improve the game.
Thank you for being with us on this journey!
