-PATCH NOTES-

WARNING:

The update might not go through on the desktop version if you already had the game installed in which case you will have to delete the game folder at the path "user://AppData/Roaming/Darklings" and install again, hoping to fix later

Bit of a smaller update, polishing and tweaking gameplay mechanics and testing 3D stages.

GENERAL

• 3D Stage test

  The Grid stage is now in 3D perspective, if this works well expect the other stages to follow.

• Dynamic camera zoom in/out

  The camera will now zoom in and out depending on the players distance.

• Re-added gameplay notifications

  Added back the in-game notifications of certain actions (Knockback, Tech throw, Reversal etc).

NETWORK

• Handling long connections

  If a match takes too long to establish you will automatically leave the match so that you won't be stuck waiting.

TRAINING

• Input Display

  You can view an input display to get a better idea of what you are pressing.

BATTLE

• Add Shadow D

  Added new Shadow "D", a quick horizontal projectile, strong for combos and neutral but lacks damage and has longer charge time.

• Improve Blockstun

  Blockstun now recovers faster than hitstun, making more moves minus on block

• Add Walk Backwards Speed

  Walk backwards and walk forward have now different speeds, with walk backwards being slower.

• Add Back Air Dash Speed

  Back air dash and forward air dash have now different speeds, with back air dash being slower.

• Improve Air Dash

  Improve the overall feel of air dash, also having an arc at the end of it.

• Backdash Throw Invulnerable

  Backdash is now throw invulnerable.

• Add Pre-jump state

  Every jump now has a few frames of pre-jump in which the player cannot block.

• Limit chain to 5H

  You can now only chain to a 5H from a light attack, making guard breaks a bit easier to predict.

• Shadow Meter Changes

  Shadow Meter no longer increases while you are doing a combo.
