Note: There were a couple of secret updates in February that were separate from this announcement.
After we've finalized more new content, we will detail the enhancements in a separate post.
Hi folks, we hope you're having a fine festive season!
Here's what we've been working on:
New Unlockables
- Orbiting Energy Orbs: Once you summon these, they will circle around you, absorbing hits from small projectiles and striking opponents. The blueprint drops from certain mages.
- Dasher (Character Background): Replaces your dodge roll with a midair dash that knocks back and damages opponents.
- Two new achievements: Turret Hacker and Bowler
Dodge roll rework
- Now useable in midair
- Can evade small projectiles.
End Game Content
- Adjustments to final boss ranged attacks, immunities and friendly fire
- Ending title card added
- Caldera Core has a new challenge room before the final boss.
Localization
- Various related UI and alignment fixes.
- Fixes for missing phrases in boss dialog.
- Portuguese Translations (translations are currently based on the Brazilian version of Portuguese).
More Quality of Life Changes
- 100s of additional words of dialog for Hub NPCs.
- Silex the Scavenger can now appear in any area you've rescued another NPC from (not just Mantle's Edge).
- Minimap rework.
- Updated animated character portraits for the Wanderer and Silex.
- Blink reworked to be easier on the gamepad: Slows down time and player's momentum more, suspending you in midair until you execute the ability.
- Reworked Dodge Roll to be useable midair and dodge small projectiles.
- Various localization and text alignment fixes
- Fixed multiple missing glyphs for capital letters in Spanish and Portuguese in the main font.
- The tutorial has been updated to be more forgiving.
P.s. There will be a present in the hub in January
Happy New Year ✨!!
