Pre-release build 1.6.0: New Enemy Type + New Map

Gameplay

• Added enemy type: Drone.

• Added map: Temple.

• Added a new damage indicator for damage that is taken while blocking and while in the middle of the countering animation.

  • The purpose is to make it clearer that damage taken under said circumstances is insignificant while still warning about its presence nonetheless.

• Overhauled the algorithm for calculating the velocity of dashes while on a slope, now producing a way more accurate result.

• Walking or aiming now also prevents you from falling off a high ledge.

• Fall damage has been halved.

• Fall damage now always applies a short temporary slowness.

• Fall damage now no longer applies if it does not exceed a certain amount.

• Fall damage now always reduces stamina slightly.

• Stamina can no longer regenerate while in mid-air.

• Further increased a Butcher's aggressiveness upon taking damage, reducing their unresponsiveness when retaliation would've been expected.

• Fixed firearm being ready to be used when countering near the end of the parry animation.

• Aim key being able to be used for performing a knife counter is now a toggleable setting.

  • This is to prevent the awkwardness of trying to aim your firearm right after a parry but proceed with a knife counter instead, while also allowing access to the convenience for whoever is concerned.

• Fixed Harvester being able to be enraged by friendly fire.

• Fixed rare cases of enemies unable to acquire a target upon spawning, either until a target is within proximity or never again.

Logistics

• Increased the intensity of calculation for the collision of weapon drops, greatly reducing the occurrence of rare cases where they would fall through the ground.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed certain entities' hurt effect emitting at the world origin instead of their actual location.

• Fixed the incorrect stereo of the player's footstep SFX.

• Fixed the startup effect of Stalkers' fireball attack sometimes persisting when the attack is interrupted.

• Butcher's landing SFX no longer plays if the fall is too short.

Settings

• Added a toggle for allowing the aim key to also be used for performing a knife counter.

• Added a slider for render brightness.
