Smiths & Legends v0.61
Gameplay updates:
No more stamina - Now you can sprint infinitely! Weapon abilities still use durability though.
Adjusted perks - Certain perks have been adjusted for balance, and perks related stamina have been turned into movement speed and sprinting perks. You also now permanently have 2 rerolls every level.
Shield/Blocking Improvement - Removed the "block" button so now shields will block automatically in your facing direction!
Bug fixing - Hopefully the game is bug-free, but don't forget to report if you spot any!
Visual Updates
Diagetic UI - This means the game no longer has any User Interface floating on the screen at all times! Things like player health, durability, equipped weapons are all found on the player. Game UI such as score, time and shop health can now be found on the shop stall.
Improved Outlines - The thick coloured outlines on characters, objects, and the environment have been adjusted. The big improvement is you can now see pickupable objects behind things so you shouldn't lose them!
Adjusted Zoom - The levels are overall smaller, but more focused. We felt the game was too zoomed out and is now similar in scale to other games in the genre.
Improved Lighting - The day/night cycle has been improved, and every level has more unique lighting. The closer zoom also means better shadows!
Improved Bars - Better colours to highlight increases and decreases in things like score and health
New Font - The new one is clearer to read!
Improved Status Effect UI - With the new UI, food buffs are now more easily visible and stronger
Improved Dialogue and Tutorial - Including updates to the quest board and story texts
More VFX - Fancy new effects for things like sprinting and jumping. You can never have enough VFX!
This will likely be the last update to the demo (besides bug fixing etc.). Look out for version 0.61d.
Any future updates will be purely on the main game! Onward to 1.0!
Don't forget to wishlist!
