What changed
- Gameplay
- UI and audio
Slightly-less-boring stuff today. But still pretty boring. Content soon, I promise.
NEW WATER
I finally got around to refactoring our old water system, and gave it a total visual overhaul while I was in the area. I'm pretty happy with the result. Expect to see a lot of this water in the next update.
MORE BACKEND STUFF
We had a few bugs with inventory state, particularly on a first login. I reworked a lot of the backend structure and first-time login code. There is now a default inventory grant per hero, rather than all 3 heroes at once. This was necessary because we have new heroes coming.
NEW CHARACTER (?!??!?!?)
A new Hero is on the way. Not quite done yet, but all of his abilities are in now fully in place. Expect to hear more soon.
PARTIES (not rly)
Parties now technically exist. You can invite, leave, promote, kick--all the usual stuff. But if you queue while in a party, you will only queue yourself. Parties and Group Queue are actually separate systems under the hood, so I'm gonna ship one at a time. For now, I have a note about this inside the party UI.
