HP / MP System integration

One major problem with the game was the lack of integrations between the game genres. It made the experience feel like different games taped into a package because it didn't have many mechanics built across them.

So, in order to unify the genres into a more cohesive experience, the first step is to unify all HP / MP values into just one parameter.

Shooting in the RPG

You can now shoot enemies in the RPG overworld to temporarily stun them, giving you the chance to avoid some battles.

We also added a bunch of destructable objects to shoot at.

Crowdies

A new type of "collectible" exclusive to Clickbait Kingdom (RPG). Finding a Crowdie will get you a Crescent Stone, which will be used in the future in exchange for something great!

RPG

RPG fast travel

RPG Checkpoints have been completely changed in this update: they now feature Fast Travel between the different checkpoints inside a map, and an option to access the Upgrade (Rank Points) Menu.

You can also drop down from the overworld to any Checkpoint (same as it was in the Platformer)

• You can now run in the RPG overworld to explore the world as a faster pace

• Metro region OW

• RPG exit from any point

• RPG OW indicators

• New RPG Enemy Pathfinding

• RPG Breakable objects (boxes, crates and skulls)

• Breakable objects in Clickbait Castle, Clickbait Town, Clickbait Fields South and AdBlue RPG

Ship

• We redesigned Alt's sprite from scratch, with new animations

• You can now run in the Ship (same as the RPG)

• We also redesigned Alt's ship chair with special animations

• You can now find the Upgrade Menu (Rank Points) on the top left PC

General

Controller Consistency

One of the main criticisms about the game was the lack of consistency of inputs between genres. We now changed some of the default inputs so they are consistent.

• In the roguelike genre you couldn't shoot with a button, so now you can shoot in the same direction Alt is shooting by pressing the shoot button

• Running in the RPG / Ship now uses the same button

• All genres use the same button to swap between weapons

• All other genre-specific actions use the same button (Bomwat in the platformer, dashing in the Roguelike)

Steam Overlay Fix

We finally fixed the Steam Overlay! It had some issues regarding the game engine that we're using.

Roguelike

• Shooting with the shoot button (Controller consistency)

• Alt now blinks when you get low health

Platformer

• Added a new sprite on top of the Air currents that makes it look much better

• Hero Village now features a complete new song by Yemmie

• Explosions now create a light object (you can see it by exploding a bomb in a cave)

• Alt now blink's when you're on low health

AdBlue

• Rank Points Explanation

• Upgrade (Rank Points) PC

• AdBlue Roguelike Ads

• AdBlue Rpg Ads

• AdBlue Platformer ads

• Magna not updating HP / MP

• Upgrade menu fix

• Checkpoint Menu fix (it was aligned to the left)

• Quacky cream fix

(special thanks to Northdream for reporting these bugs!)

That's all for now! As usual, we'll keep on releasing Patches as we find bugs or we improve some things out. We're already working on update 0.4.4, which will feature masive changes for the entire game.

If you happen to find any bugs, you can open a thread on our discussions or DM us through social media.

Thanks for playing!
