Release Date: August 15, 2026
STEALTH:

• Rebalanced the Stealth mechanic to make entering stealth more achievable at lower levels.
• Increased the chance of maintaining stealth, targeting roughly 60% reliability for an average level-one character and approaching 90% at level ten.
• Stealth reliability now improves with both the player’s Stealth stat and character level.
• Stealth maintenance checks continue to occur when entering a new room rather than continuously while moving.

PLAYER MOVEMENT:

• Smoothed the transition between walking and sprinting.
• Player movement speed and locomotion animations now blend progressively instead of switching abruptly.
• Reduced the perceived delay when transitioning into a sprint.

ENEMY COMBAT AND COLLISION:

• Fixed an issue where Minotaurs could continue moving into the player while attempting to reach their attack position.
• Enemy collision radius is now calculated after applying the enemy’s randomized scale.
• Adjusted Minotaur collider sizes to better match their visible bodies and combat spacing.
• Added deterministic component initialization ordering for systems that must initialize before dependent components.
• Removed the legacy enemy interaction collider and mouse-click selection pathway from the base enemy prefab.

TRAILER CAPTURE TOOLS:

• Replaced the single Trailer Mode toggle with a configurable Trailer Profile system.
• Trailer profiles can independently control the following features:
  • Music
  • Game UI
  • Vitality overlay
  • Damage text
  • Target indicators
  • Trailer hotkeys

• Added reusable responders capable of enabling or disabling GameObjects, CanvasGroups, and MonoBehaviours according to the active trailer profile.
  
• Trailer capture settings can now hide the normal game interface while retaining essential vitality information.
  

BIOME TRANSITIONS:

• Added a new position-driven Biome Transition Zone system.
• Post-processing now blends smoothly between two biome profiles as the player moves through a designated doorway or passage.
• Transition progress is based on the player’s position between the two biome profile volumes, allowing the transition to work smoothly in either direction.
• Primary biome volumes can retain hard boundaries, preventing post-processing from blending incorrectly through neighboring walls.
• Updated Forge biome entrances to support the new transition-zone approach.

CLOAKS:

• Introduced cloaks as a new wearable equipment type.
• Added multiple cloak variants to the game’s available equipment and loot pools.
• Cloaks are visually displayed on the player when equipped.
• Added localized names and descriptions for the new cloaks.

ENVIRONMENT AND PRESENTATION:

• Continued extending and refining the onboarding environment.
• Improved post-processing behavior around biome boundaries and specialized areas.
• Added additional enemy corpse variations for improved visual variety.
