v0.5.0 - Melee weapons update

Refactor of the version number to be coherent, like it's now major.monthly update.fix update

Major

• True melee weapons and better weapon animations have come, changing some weapons

• Using a weapon slow you by 55% over 0.2s and some weapons inflict you with knockback

• Enemies won't damage player and allies unless they are rushing (attack) or future patterns like dashing

• Rays have been completely remodelled, from the graphics to the gameplay, to make something I'm proud of today

• Spark has been renamed to Chain Lightning and completely refactored, like rays

• Refactored how relic tags work, this system is used to not give the player a useless relic or unusable. Now it's way better, like if you are in a case where you have only aoe, you will not get relics that affect only the projectiles or rays

• New exterior levels in fortresses and walls remake

• The game has a new background on main menu and it's way better

• You can reroll weapons from chests

• A glossary has been added (in game wiki) for more detailed info about relics, weapons and ability

• Him can now use both first and second passives of other classes in both slots

• Rework first passive and ability of the snowman

• Change one of tier 3 yellow altar relics to a lottery-like relic

Added

• (Re) Added Thermal Ray rare weapon that shoot a controllable and growing ray

• Now **Thunder** aoe has a 30% chance to apply **Paralysis** debuff, both for the player and enemies depending on who launch it

• New exclusive yellow weapon Izanagi with 5 stab attacks followed by a spin attack and 15% chance to trigger a chain lightning

• Now elite and boss drop a few runes on death

Quality of Life

• Rotation speed of growing ray weapons increase with speed percentage stat now

• Weapons that shoot things at the mouse position will do it with a better range

• Falling projectiles now fall with way more precision where the mouse was

• Added spread per projectiles from weapons spawning projectile on mouse position

• Removed the purple color applied to homing projectiles

• If a projectile can stick to an enemy but has pierce, it will stick only when it cannot pierce more enemies

• When dashing, you go through decorations as flames and boxes

• Relics discovered displayed on save are not counting anymore the levels of each ones

• Improved synthetizer menu with weapon ordered by rarity

• Make piercing projectiles able to apply knockback, so melee weapons can too

• Make monarch fight less unfair

• Refactor enemies and allies patterns, making them better as well

• Make shops wider, increase back room place for it

• Circle that show incoming danger in an area are way more precise

• Make homing possible for projectiles turning around something (souls swords from Soul Reaper class mainly)

• Change relic selector menu a bit

• Add an alert when an enemy will shoot a projectile

• When your dash would drag you in a hole, if by extending the dash time it can save you, it will

• Score timer is stopped when the room is cleared

• You can now cancel your dash to remake one

Balancing

• Weapons that received a melee attack have been buffed due to their shorter range

• A lot of other balancing not tracked (changelog max characters)

• Balance enemies health, contact and projectile damage

• Increase boss stats for each additional fortresses past 1

• Boss can be knockback (reduce by 80%)

Fixs

• Now stats from weapons are correctly applied to aoe launched by them

• Weapons that shoot projectiles/rays that pass through walls now won't prevent them from spawning inside

Next update will add a lot of weapons and relics, as well adding things we didn't have time to add and continue to rework textures !
