User Interface:

• New User Interface textures.

• Titlescreen updated.

  • We decided to re-make our titlescreen using Unity's HDRP.

• Change to potion icons.

  • The icons were the same, so we gave them some variety.

• Inventory now shows item rarity.

• Brightness Calibration added.

  • If your save file has no brightness setting, then you'll be referred to the brightness calibration screen, so you can set the correct brightness.

• Brightness setting has been updated.

• In-game feedback/bugs window.

  • Players can now report bugs or give feedback directly from in-game. Attaching a screenshot, your hardware information, and a copy of your save file. (No personal information)

• Console error 'FormatException' has been fixed.

• Console error fixed: "Material doesn't have a texture property '_MainTex'"

• The Console can now ignore defined errors.

• Keybindings will no longer say Mouse0, but will say LMB instead.

• Arcade Mode button added to the main menu.

• Stamina bar.

Enemies:

• The Reaper should now work again.

• Some enemies have been given less Defence

Skills:

• New skill trees: Paladin, Druid.

• All base skills have been changed slightly.

• Bows and Melee weapons may also have skills on them.

  • We've updated our system to allow additional weapon skills. Although melee weapon skills work differently than ranged skills.

• Skill Tree Voidwalker has been finished.

• Voidwalker skill "Death's Bargain" has been finished and changed to:
  "Survive an attack which would have killed you. Heal to 50% health. (One time use)"

• Voidwalker skill "Voidwalker" has been changed to:
  "Become the ultimate voidwalker.
  Chance to deal triple damage on any attack.
  Attack speed increased by 15%
  All resistance decreased by 100%
  All damage except void decreased by 100%
  Enemy attacks ignore all resistances by 100%"

  "Pick up your bow and fight!
  Allows usage of bow weapon skills."

  Allows usage of staff and magic crystal weapon skills."

• Fixed a bug where skill "Contract Killer" required you to deal frost damage to trigger.

• Learned skills are now checked internally, instead of constantly reading the save file.

  • Having the save file be called every time the system had to check, caused a bit of lag. So we've moved it to an internal system.

• Choosing the Archer skill tree should now correctly lock the Voidwalker tree.

• Warrior kill "Vampiric Embrace" now only heals when attacking enemies.

• Archer skill "Sniper" has been changed slightly.
