addedWe've got a smaller update for you today, with a couple smaller bugfixes, and one BIG change for melee weapons! Also, to get us started, we've got a new trailer for your viewing pleasure:

changedWhat's new in combat?Weapon VFX was adjusted to match the actual range of the weapon! Before, character outlines were the main source of truth on if an attack would land, which was confusing and unreliable. Now, we're keeping track of the actual width of the attack vfx, and position it so that if the vfx hits the enemy, then you'll also be doing damage.

changedBug fixesUpdated the positioning of mini-map indicators, so that they show up above the item regardless of item orientation

fixedBug fixesFixed the orientation of player indicators on the mini-map, to make sure they're visible

fixedBug fixesFixed a divide-by-zero error that would sometimes occur while loading game settings on startup

fixedBug fixesEnemies were determining if an attack would land based off of the player position at the start of the attack. Fixed so the actual player position is taken into account.

Now, we're keeping track of the actual width of the attack vfx, and position it so that if the vfx hits the enemy, then you'll also be doing damage.

With this fix in place, it became obvious that the reach of melee weapons was much lower than expected, so all melee weapons got a ~1/2 meter effective range increase with this change.

What's Next?

We're working on stat randomization for weapon drops! You'll have to stay tuned for the specifics, but I think we've got something special cooking for you all.
