Alpha version 14.9 is now live, it brings some fairly significant balance changes to both combat and stealth because I’ve seen some of you guys cheesing and we’re having none of that in this house.
Remember that everything is subject to change, if you hate something that was changed you can vent about it on the Steam discussion and it will be taken into consideration.
We’ve also added a new gameplay trailer to the game’s page! It shows a fair amount of game mechanics in a clearer and slower-paced way. You can also check it out below:
- ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS UPDATE -
⚔️ Water-ripple effects when things wall into water
‘splash splash’
⚔️ A sneaking sprite for when the Knight sneaks around
‘look at them go’
⚔️ A new blue bar in the HUD which shows how much balance an enemy has
‘enemies with a high balance value are poised to not be knocked-back when struck. Keep the pressure on and strike them repeatedly and their pois- I mean balance will quickly deplete.’
