New music, new sound effects, remixed sounds that sucked, new voice overs, new enemy type, bug fixes, gameplay improvements, achievements. We got it all.
New Enemy
This dude has four hands! That's two more hands you can tear off compared to a regular type dude. He'll show up in sacrificial pit fights in hell levels and has his own personal dismemberment gate in level 17.
Idle Mode
Enemies don't just stand around anymore, they do stuff! We've recorded more dialogues between enemies, and made more custom animations for enemies on levels. Now they push crates, pick stuff up and sit on stuff. Some of them are doing really shady stuff :O
New Music And Sound Effects
We've added music queues that start playing in certain parts of levels or when certain events happen. Sound effects for movable objects such as barrels, chairs, glass bottles, torn body parts and organs have new and more unique sound effects.
New Voice Over
Characters that sounded, let's say, um, not very believable have been re-recorded. Demons have more grunt sounds, hurt sounds, screams, quips they yell at the player and so on. Non humanoid enemies now sound suitably wild and scary.
Final Boss Fight Finished
We've been overhauling the final boss with every new update and didn't feel satisfied with the fight until now. There's thunder bolts and lightning, very, very frightening you. There's checkpoints between parts of the fight, there's more dialogue, the gameplay flow is more fun. The bugs have been exterminated. It's finally a suitable end to the slapstick gore-fest that is Tainted Fate. Also you get these flamey hands:
Achievements
We're really happy to announce that we've implemented Steam achievements! Some are obtainable through just playing the campaign, others are harder to achieve and will test your exploration and demon tearing skills.
All changes:
-spiky dismemberment gate torn off hand would act weirdly - fixed
- after you tear apart an enemy with a sharp object, they go directly to ragdoll instead of into animation and then ragdoll
-torso mesh deformation when cut with sharp object fixed
-3d text shader changed in all levels so you can't see it through other objects anymore
-enemies that talk before the player approaches them don't continue talking during fighting anymore
-enemies now wait a second before attacking after they are alerted to player's presence, so player has a chance to instakill at least one enemy in group

-added idle mode - some enemies now play custom animations before player interrupts them

-fixed bug where you could spawn an infinite number of explodable lanterns in prison island puzzle

-shipwreck and church intro dialogue does not play again after dying anymore
-doubled max pixel light count (no more "one eye has light, other doesn't" bugs)

-completely remade final boss fight level environment
-changed final boss fight flow and difficulty
-added new player power for end of boss fight
-new checkpoints in middle of boss fights
-you can't fall off of edges of surfaces anymore in free walk mode - you just stop (less dizziness for players, less bugs for us) - this may not seem like a big one but it's a big one. Trust me.
-implemented Steam achievements
This update finishes up our update path for Tainted Fate. We will do one more big round of testing and bug fixing, but you can expect the full release very soon. We'd like to thank our fans who reported bugs and proposed features throughout the early access period. We would also like to thank everyone who gave positive and negative reviews, as long as they contained some constructive criticism we learned from them and fixed the stuff you didn't like.
Thank you for playing Tainted Fate. We <3 u and hope to get a lot more people playing on full release day!
