New update available on the beta branch

Survivors!

We hope you are all safe and healthy and staying at home. Here's a little something to make your time at home a little bit nicer, hopefully.

It's been a while since we released our last update with the free DLC - Desert Survival. We've been very busy working on our next title, Dream Engines: Nomad Cities. Sometimes, however, it's good to take a break and step away from a big project for a little while, and what better use of that time than updating or good old Judgment?

Melee Update

So here we are, a small update centered around melee combat. We added a new profession, skills, abilities and items around melee combat. Most of these are meant to increase the survivability and usefulness of melee warriors. We've added abilities that allow survivors to quickly charge at enemies, and also those that allow them to disengage and retreat before these brave front-line warriors are mowed down by the hordes of ranged demons.

The full patch notes will be posted when the update is pushed to the main branch, but here are some of the main changes:

• Added abilities that allow a survivor to become untargetable for a short time, allowing them to retreat to safety.
• Shields now have a chance of completely blocking ranged attacks if they are equipped with melee weapons and as long as they are not flanked or at point-blank range.
• Added a new melee-oriented profession - the Samurai
• Added a small boost to all melee weapons (either an ability or another benefit)

Japanese Translation

We'll be adding Japanese translations to the game, but these are not ready yet so they will only be available when we push the update to the main branch.

The beta branch update is missing translations for some of the new texts, these will be added before the main branch release.

Save games and mods based on the last version should work without any problems, we've mainly added new stuff.

We hope you enjoy these changes, please do let us know if you encounter any issues or have any feedback on these changes, that’s the point of having this in the beta branch. It’s been thoroughly tested, but no testing we do is as good as actual players playing it.
