This is largely a splitscreen focused patch but it includes some other elements as well.
We've had this overhead health bar for quite awhile but we've been running into issues with it.
- Its too similar to the player's HUD
- Its typically too high (Right above most enemies) for most Otter players
- Certain events could cause damage to distant/unseen targets, causing a bunch of confusing pop up health bars
- Multiple enemy health bars could have a lot of overlap which just looked messy
- This method has rendering issues in splitscreen
So we're transitioning back to the original UI health indicator, which is a single target blue icon that turns black as the enemy is damaged.
There are more adjustments to make on this, but for right now it should work well.
Other fixes and changes:
- The airship now has an on-board compass rather than a definitive distance marker. This is to clear up screen UI.
- Asking Luna for directions will now show an arrow, rather than a definitive distance marker. This is for both cleaning up UI elements and making Luna a bit less 'gameified'.
- Changed the 'sword' icon over player heads to a smaller 'V' icon
- Added a checkpoint in the tower within the border crossing level
- Map Select now can be closed out easily with escape/back button
