Dark Light: Survivor changes
Hi all,
We shipped a weekend update. Thanks to everyone who helped with reports. The patch improves RAM and GPU performance and adds a Texture Quality option.
Medium is now the default and should be fine on Steam Deck with minimal visual difference from High. We also addressed a number of bugs and community suggestions, rebalanced some enemies, refined attack and hit feedback with more accurate timing and camera shake, and added weapon and armour comparison along with auto equip.
NEW SYSTEMS / NEW KEY FEATURES
Added icon indicating bonus damage in third person. (In third person view, now ranged weapons gain +30% damage and +30% range, on top of headshot bonuses.)
-Added weapon and armour comparison.
-Added auto equip for weapons and armour.
-Camera shake on melee hits to targets.
-Camera shake when the player is hit.
-Added health totems you can purchase with DC earned in game.
-Top-down camera range increased from 16 to 17. Third-person camera distance increased from 4 to 6 units, giving the player more view behind.
-Added Salvage button on Equipment and Weapon Select panels; grants +50 DC. -Enhanced the Spear Demon with a golden spear for better player visibility.

Significantly reduced RAM usage. (Texture settings)
