Patch Notes: Version 1.28

First Cut: Samurai Duel · published 2 years ago · build 13877983

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone, just a small patch for now. I'm currently testing some AI improvements but they will need lots of testing and I didn't want to further delay this update.

This update adds a native achievements screen. In future this screen will allow for the achievement system to work on platforms other than Steam.

------------------
Version 1.28

Fixed the smoke visibility from the laser sword marker.

The frozen pause screen image now reflects the brightness/contrast settings.

Attempted to further optimize the Sunset stage (let me know if there is any difference).

Blindness-resistant enemies (who turn their heads to avoid being blinded with blood) will now briefly stop moving when blood is thrown in their face.

Fixed swords producing steam when dipped in water when Laser Swords aren't enabled.

It is now easier to buffer strikes while turning around mid-combo.

Addressed an issue with the pause function accepting default controls from other non-enemy characters - ie: accepting 'space' as the pause key, when the player has rebound it to something else.

Added an 'Achievements' screen to the Stats menu, as a means of natively supporting achievements on platforms other than Steam.

Performing a counter now cancels the stance speed boost the enemy gets from being blocked.

Standard enemies are now less likely to use the 'dodge behind' move.

Fixed Scenario Mode enemy weapons behaving like bokkens when Laser Swords is enabled.

This one is just to fix the memory leak issue which was reported to me, but there will be more to come. Thanks to those of you who commented about this problem and apologies for the delay in getting it fixed. ------------------ Version 1.3 Fixed a memory leak issue.First Cut: Samurai DueGame update13 Apr 2024Patch Notes: Version 1.29Hello everyone, This patch contains a few mechanical and AI tweaks. Blocking from behind has been buffed, and enemies now have slightly better tracking. This should barely affect lower-difficulty enemies, but higher-difficulty enemies (mostly bosses) won't be as easy to cheese by just walking backwards. Skilled AI can still be baited into missing, but it will require more careful use of footwor…
