Soul Savior - Alpha v0.0.8 Update
A new Alpha update is now available!
This update focuses on player guidance, tutorial improvements, better readability, and quality-of-life changes to make the game easier to understand without removing the challenge.
🩸 New Monster Path Preview
A small red path is now displayed to show the routes monsters can take to reach your Treasures.
Use it to better understand enemy movement and place your traps more effectively, especially in complex areas of the map.
📖 Tutorial Improvements
The tutorial has received several improvements to make the game's mechanics easier to understand.
- Added the Element Wheel before the Critical Damage tutorial step.
- Added a new tip explaining how to increase your Gold Interest at the end of the tutorial.
- Reworked the final tutorial step to better explain what happens when you run out of Gold: monsters will stop targeting the Treasure and start heading directly toward the player.
🛒 Shop Improvements
The Shop has received several readability improvements.
- Added small visual details to make it clearer which items can or cannot be purchased.
- The Shop is now always positioned closer to the active Treasure, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth travel on certain maps.
- Changed the icon that is automatically selected when purchasing an item.
- Fixed an issue where the Mercenary icon could incorrectly appear in the shortcuts after purchasing it.
👹 Monster & Status Improvements
- Dead monsters affected by a slow effect will no longer move.
- The duration of the Web Trap's slow effect is now displayed in its description.
- Added a visual effect when Bad Souls slow the player to make the effect easier to understand.
- Added status effect descriptions to the Contamination upgrade.
✨ UI & Readability
- Moved several texts that could overlap with other interface elements.
- "Defend the Treasure" is now only displayed for active Treasures.
- Shortened several texts that were too long or took up too much space.
🎮 Controller Improvements
Added additional protection against controller stick drift when using the new camera Zoom controls.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Mercenary icon could appear in shortcuts when purchasing it.
