  • Performed a major visual overhaul of the Steam page for the demo and main game, including a new game logo and key art (more info to come in the monthly newsletter)

  • The Compare Item UI and inspect Item UI (right-click item menu options) now auto-detect whether the mouse is on the left or right half of the viewport and draws the correct widget position accordingly

  • This will prevent these widgets from being drawn beyond the edges of the screen in most cases

  • Donkey now forces respawn from 35m instead of 80m, meaning that if the Donkey becomes stuck you can usually resolve it by moving a short distance and re-summoning the Donkey

  • Added several new donkey preferred spawn locations to help prevent Donkey becoming stuck

  • Fixed several areas on the NavMesh where the Donkey could become stuck

  • Added new functionality for bow target detection; bows now trace a much larger variety of collision targets, and the result is that bows are much easier to aim and use than before for many types of targets

  • Reduced the weight of raw meat

  • Fixed bug with fish texture appearances

  • Ground impact VFX are now only spawned if you fall from a high enough height to cause fall damage

  • Fixed an issue with the 'Hand of Fate' spell; grabbing enemies should now always work, even if the projectile hits a mesh other than the enemy character (unless the AI is a boss, or is blocking with a shield - which blocks all projectiles)
