Greetings, fellow Thorn members! We're excited to announce that Every Day We Fight will be included in Steam's Strategy Fest this week! We've got a new demo for you to get hands on with full of improvements and new content to explore too. Jump in TODAY and test your mettle against The Harvester. We have a few new tricks for returning players too! ;) As always, if you enjoy your time with the game, consider adding us to your wishlist so you don't miss out when we officially launch! ---------- To get involved with the community: -[url=url=https://discord.gg/JecuyCnJWF] Join our Discord server![/url] - [url=https://twitter.com/signalspacelab]Follow us on Twitter![/url] --------- [h3]Patch Notes: [/h3] [h3]New Mission Types added & overall progression updated: [/h3] [list] [*] This demo of Every Day We Fight has been updated to include 3 different missions. This allows us to test a more complete slice of gameplay that includes more robust character progression as you progress through each mission & unlock additional weapon components & skills. [*] Mission 1: Kill the Elite Enemy - Defeat the enemies & the Elite enemy that spawns. [*] Mission 2: Disarm the Stasis Bomb - Defeat the enemies. [*] (OPTIONAL) Disarm the Stasis Bomb before it erases innocent civilians. [*] Mission 3: Destroy the Harvester [*] Defeat the enemies. [*] (OPTIONAL) Destroy the Cognos Harvester before it teleports away. [*] Missions must be completed in order to unlock the next one from the Missions screen. [*] Optional objectives do not have to be successfully completed. [*] Weapon Component drops improve at the start area upon completion of the previous mission. [/list] [h3]Mission Changes [/h3] Based on feedback from our previous demos as well as internal playtesting, the Harvester fight has been updated: [list] [*] To improve the pacing, the fight no longer transitions between combat & exploration modes. [*] The Thorns must now navigate the alleyway & destroy all 3 power cells before the Harvester teleports away. [*] Destroying a power cell will extend the remaining time for the Thorns as the Harvester loses power. [*] The remaining time is displayed on the Harvester (temp UI). [*] New VFX & SFX have been added for the Harvester. [/list] [h3]Other Changes/Additions: [/h3] [list] [*] A save data system has been implemented. Mission progress will be saved upon successful completion of each mission, as well as unlocked Skill Points. Note: You can’t save during combat. [*] Partial skill trees have been added for Leo & Dylan. Skill trees are still WIP and don’t contain all skills or their final designs. [*] Dylan’s character model has been updated. [*] New idle animations have been added. [*] Many major & minor bug fixes across all systems [/list] [h3]Known Issues: [/h3] [list] [*] Enemies who are KOed by a proximity punch will sometimes stand up after they die. [*] Enemies will in some rare instances be able to shoot through walls [*] Holding the middle mouse button to move the camera when a cinematic begins can cause the cursor to behave erratically. Click the middle mouse button again once back in gameplay to fix the cursor. [*] Dylan’s Taunt ability doesn’t currently taunt enemies as intended, and they will still attack other units. [*] There is a rare chance of a crash during loading or restarting missions on lower end hardware. Usually if attempted a second time the game will load correctly. [*] Proximity Punch can trigger from enemies traversing ladders causing time dilation before they can be targeted. [*] Infrequently, Thorns will fail to scramble after attempting to. [*] Cinematic camera reveals of mission objectives disable the ability to tab through Thorns, until entering aim view. [/list]
