Happy Lunar New Year, folks 🏮🐎!
Here's what we've been working on over the past several months:
Inventory Overhaul
We've been reworking the inventory to be more intuitive and to encourage multitasking between items.
There are now 4 hot bar inventory slots.
- For main weapon
- For offhand weapon/tools
- For Offhand abilities/tools
- For Offhand abilities/tools
Additionally:
- In Weapon wheel mode, shortcuts exist to choose between categories (1-4 on keyboard) or the trigger or bumper buttons on gamepad.
- Pressing a button corresponding to a slot in grid inventory/weapon wheel mode will map the selected item to that slot.
- Dropping Items: Most items can now be dropped from your inventory in grid view, to make more space.
- There are multiple other refinements to display and sorting of items.
Control Updates:
We've reworked the controls to be more intuitive, in addition to working around the mapping of the 4th item hot slot on gamepad.
On Gamepad (Xbox/Steam Deck or your equivalent on dual shock controllers):
- A: select/swap item.
/Up: Interact/Pick Up/Tackle stunned enemies.- RB (Right Bumper): item slot 4 for offhand items/abilities.
- In weapon wheel mode, the trigger and bumper buttons may also be used to filter items by category.
On Keyboard/Mouse:
/E: item slot 3- R: item slot 4
Rebinding: Remember, you can rebind the controls in Options Menu->Controls
Progression
- Early game progression is now faster and more forgiving.
- Purchasing cosmetic pets, now also grants resonant for upgrades, just as unlocking equipment/character backgrounds/world shortcuts does. If you've bought pets in the past, you will be rewarded with resonant fragments accordingly.
New Audio 🎼
The Colossal Worm boss fight now has its own unique music theme 🎵.
Bosses and Enemies
- Several bosses have had their attack patterns reworked for greater variety.
- Several enemy telegraphs have been reworked on moderate & easy difficulty modes to be clearer/easier to exploit.
Other Quality of Life Enhancements Include:
- Fixed dark garden theme never appearing.
- Fixed bug where dodge roll lost momentum on the last frame
- Reduced mobility penalty (jumping height and running speed) when carrying heavy objects by hand.
- You can now roll twice in succession.
- New Pet Budgie
! - Fixed numerous edge cases where objects would unintentionally block friendly projectiles or thrown objects
- Reworked various menu and HUD layouts.
- Reduced penalty of wearing down crystal weapons (from 25 to 10% reduced damage).
- Re-fixed Steam Deck build by reverting back the loading screen - sorry for the disruption.
- Localization Improvements
- Much more
Mac Support 
We've reworked the engine to better support macOS platforms, fixing compatibility issues and supporting up to Mac OS 15 Sequoia.
NOTE: Please be advised that you will need to mark the application as having special "Open Anyway" permission to run on macOS 10.14 Catalina and macOS 15 Sequoia.
