Alight in the Dark changes
Ascension Tier 1 - The Cardinal Sins
Ascension Tier 1 is finally here! Level up permanently between matches and obtain Soul Shards which can be used for powerful upgrades!
5 Soul Shards are required in order to access the Ascension system which opens up the door for 15 powerful upgrades which push you through a few of the higher difficulties.
You can choose only 3 paths in this system all of which gives a unique Pickup ability per path which alters game play and build types significantly.
Each path is assigned an Element which will be useful for Tier 2 of Ascension which we will release at a later stage.
Change Log
Our extended trailer theme now plays in the credits view
Camera Movement is now always centered on the player Previously this would lag behind by quite a bit and the faster movement speed you had, the worse it got. We're still taking feedback on this on our discord or our steam discussions, but we feel that this makes for more responsive gameplay currently.
Camera Zoom is now slightly further away from the game world
Game Summary now has experience and level animations as well as audio Game Summary laughter/mockery audio now plays after experience gain and global level up audio Game summary now uses comma separation in big numbers Game Summary now shows Time alive as X day(s) hours, minutes and seconds instead of total seconds
Added Ascension path elements to stat summary in-game Added Ascension unique unlocks to stat summary in-game Added Ascension stats to stat summary as a separate category Ascension paths can now easily be re-configured at no respec cost Ascension now has a Stat Summary for currently selected nodes Ascension max chosen paths is now 3 Ascension now has an information button which explains the concept Ascension nodes will now automatically move the camera/zoom if navigated through other means than mouse
