New content:

• Redesigned the main menu.

• Added visual feedback for menu button presses.

• Smoothed out the visual effects for health/mana reduction and experience gain.

• Player Code Overhaul:

  1. More responsive controls (WASD & Shift).

  2. Redesigned combat: hits feel more impactful, and every 5th consecutive hit pushes enemies back.

  3. Improved hit reactions (impact) on the player and tuned player attributes.

• Added new enemy animations: Idle, attack, stun, walk, run, block, parry, ragdoll, and death.

• New Enemy AI:

  1. Detection: Line-of-sight fills a detection meter. If filled completely, or if the player gets too close, the enemy aggros.

  2. Facing: The enemy tracks the player and turns accordingly (currently left and right only).

  3. Movement: The enemy walks slowly when close to the player and speeds up if the distance increases.

  4. Attacking: Enemies attack when in range. Normal hits deal minor damage, while every 5th attack knocks the player back.

  5. Ragdoll: Specific abilities can now interrupt enemy actions and trigger a ragdoll state.

  6. Blocking: Enemies can raise a shield when attacked, reducing incoming damage.

  7. Parrying: Enemies can parry player attacks, stunning the player and opening them up to a counterattack.

• Major optimization improvements.

• Various code refactoring to speed up future development.
