[*] [b]1.3.7:[/b] Major improvements to the combat system including animation cancelling, improved hitbox detection, more dynamic and responsive platforming, disabled pitfall deaths, improved Map UI, and so many more quality-of-life changes! [/list] The improvements won’t stop there, as mentioned we are now working towards the next big patch, 1.4.0. This update will add an [b]enemy log menu[/b] to showcase which enemies (and how many of them) the player has defeated, [b]improvements to the player inventory UI[/b], and additional changes to [b]boss balancing.[/b] 1.4.0 is scheduled to go live later this Summer. This brings us to an exciting announcement, we’re currently putting the finishing touches on a [b]Major Free Content Update![/b] [i][b]“The Ghost Ship” [/b][/i]adds a new [b]Survival Mode[/b] that tasks players with defeating increasingly more challenging waves of enemies and bosses one after another! If the player(s) can clear a wave they will receive a reward in the form of a usable item, attack or defence buff before progressing onto the next wave. After certain ‘milestone’ waves player characters will also unlock additional bonuses in the form of new ‘inner element’ magical abilities and skills. But be warned however, if all players are defeated progress will be lost! When playing through [i][b]The Ghost Ship[/b][/i] your fastest clear times will be logged after each wave so you can challenge yourself to smash your existing records! How far will you progress against such terrifying odds? [i][b]The Ghost Ship[/b][/i] update is planned for Fall 2023.
