We’ve been busy. This update brings a much darker atmosphere to the first level, a completely overhauled combat manager, and enemies that actually value their lives. Here is what changed:
Atmosphere & Visuals
Nightfall: Changed the lighting in the first level. We ditched the foggy daylight for a much darker, grimmer nighttime look.
Environment Overhaul: Updated static assets across the first level (new trees, campsites, and destroyed village details).
The Orc Warlord has been forged anew with a brand new 3D model and brutal attack animations.
Player Mechanics & Combat Flow
The Plague Doctor: Updated the main player model and core animations.
Crossbow Buff: Shooting is now faster with much smoother animations. The bolts themselves travel faster too.
New Combat Manager: Enemies will now take strategic turns attacking you instead of mindlessly dogpiling all at once. Combat flows much better now.
Enemy AI Updates
Javelin Goblins: Added a new "Quick Volley" attack. They are also smarter now and will quickly dodge away if the Plague Doctor gets too close.
Swarmer Goblins: Upgraded their logic and behavior. They are more dexterous and will dynamically jump back after striking.
UI & Quality of Life
Added portraits to the HUD/UI.
Added a new Radial Transform Window: you can now quickly select options using the Middle Mouse Button and mouse movement.
Enlarged the occlusion sphere—you can finally see clearly when standing behind trees and large objects.
