Fixes, Improvements & a Sign of Life
Hello everyone, After quite some time, one of our level designers was able to work on a small update for the game. While all three of us are currently focused on finishing our studies, we still wanted to share a quick update—and let you know we’re still here. Changelist: Fixed several instances of slippery stairs and floors, making gameplay feel smoother in certain areas Added two additional bonfires (respawn points) to improve level flow and reduce backtracking (and frustration) after dying Enhanced a few locations visually and introduced a subtle fog effect Adjusted enemy attack speeds to improve overall combat balance and fairness. We’re truly grateful for all the feedback we’ve received — both positive and negative — as it helps us improve our skills as game developers. Happy playing!Read full article on Community Announcements (Waschko)Patch NotesOfficial
