Howdy gunslingers!
With spooky season upon us, we’re rolling out a fresh patch for the demo just in time to give you something new to dig into during the haunting season.
If you ride back into the demo (or saddle up for the first time), we’d love to hear your thoughts! Hop into the Tombwater Discord and let us know what’s working, what ain’t, and what needs fixing.
Patch Notes
New Features
Stamina system activated. Melee attacks and dashing now consume stamina.
Leveling system added: enemies now grant EXP, which accumulates toward Skill Points.
Skill Points can be used at campfires to upgrade certain player stats.
Current EXP toward the next level can be lost on death, but can be reclaimed from the ghost left behind. Once a Skill Point has been earned, it is safe from loss on death.
Adjusted enemy currency drops to emphasize selling trinkets as a more significant source of income.
Updated default control scheme.
Added a new puzzle to the dark tunnels beneath the old chapel.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug causing multiple door sound effects to play simultaneously.
Resolved various minor issues with HUD and menu clarity.
Fixed inconsistencies in explosion hitbox timing.
General stability fixes and polish.
Other Changes/Improvements
Soldier class now starts with the Dragoon Saber.
Occultist class now starts with the Rune Knife.
Several classes upgraded from the Knife to the Cavalry Saber as a starting weapon.
Adjusted enemy damage and HP to align with the new leveling system.
Added various weaknesses / resistances to enemies.
Wraith Shot can now be rebound separately from the general “attack” command.
Added new sound effects for enemy attacks.
Thanks a ton for playing, supporting, and sticking with us while we take a little more time on the full release. We appreciate your patience more than you know and can’t wait to hear what you think of the updated demo!
Stay safe and be wary of the madness.
