As part of our continued efforts to improve the game and integrate all the amazing feedback we got, we have just rolled out [b]Update 19.11[/b]. The full change-log is below, but I quickly wanted to go into a bit more detail regarding some [b]core changes contained in this update[/b]:[list] [*][b]Character switching[/b]: you can now switch characters at any time, for the cost of 50% of your "Special Meter" (except in Amor's Den where it's free). This makes it much easier and more convenient to switch if you are about to lose a character or want to bring different weapons to the fight. When using terminals, you can also freely switch between characters, which makes upgrading all characters / weapons much easier as you don't have to run back and forth to a closet. Switching while using terminals is free, but when you stop using the terminal you will be switched back to the character you were using before the terminal (except in Amor's Den). Switching is [b]mapped by default to R on the keyboard, and B / Circle on controllers[/b]. If you have changed your mapping you might have to quickly go into the options menu and map it to something else! [*][b]Closets[/b]: closets now serve manual save points. We added more closets throughout the levels - some in plain view, some a bit more off the beaten path. You will always find a closet before a boss, but the choice of saving is now yours, rather than imposed by automatic save-points. [*][b]Dash[/b]: we adjusted the cool-down on the dash, but more importantly we added visual and audio feedback to let players know when the dash is available again. [/list] There are a few more changes affecting gameplay (such as a [b]new torso upgrade tier[/b]), but we're hoping these three will drastically improve the game's balance and the overall experience. The next update will bring an expanded Canal map with new rooms and secret passages for you to discover, a new enemy, the ability to freely backtrack through most of the level, and a couple more cool surprises! Until then, we both sincerely hope you will enjoy this update!
