Sound
We’ve recently been overhauling the systems behind how our audio works, in the future this will make audio work easier to do. But for now we have also lost some effects that we’ll need to reimplement in the future. This may also introduce some general audio quirks to the game. However we didn’t want a few small hiccups to delay what we think is a pretty substantial update that improves the game dramatically.
- Improved weapon swing sounds and timing
- Slimes now make a gooey sound when hit
Bug Fixes
- Roller enemies no longer leave an invisible hitbox where they died
