Version Update 0.1.8 - Craft from chests, Keybindings, Blocking and Other Improvements
This update focuses on improving combat feel, adding custom keybindings, and fixing several gameplay issues reported by players.
Gameplay and quality of life:
- Added blocking and counter attacks. Hold the block button, default right mouse button or left trigger on controller, to reduce incoming damage. If timed perfectly, blocking will nullify incoming damage and give the player a short counter attack window, boosting their next attack.
- Added keybindings to the settings menu, allowing controls to be customized.
- Added sleeping bags, which can be consumed to skip the night while out exploring.
- Dashing once again happens immediately when pressing the dash key, and now leads into sprinting if the button is held.
- DPS meter placement has been adjusted and should no longer overlap with other UI elements.
- Added Whispering chests, an upgraded storage solution that allows the player to craft directly from the chests, regardless of their position.
Building improvements:
- Improved stair building logic when building stairs leading up to platforms.
Bug fixes:
- Tentacles now correctly drop Whispers of Affliction when slain.
- Fixed an issue where player projectiles could deal incorrect damage if the player changed weapon before the projectile hit.
- Fixed an issue where boss altars could not be reused after the boss had been defeated. Bosses can now be summoned again if the required summoning item is available.
- Buff durations now correctly decrease when traveling from the base into a biome, preventing temporary buffs from lasting indefinitely when moving back and forth.
