addedIn this update, we’ve also reset the leaderboards. This is because we introduced a system to prevent players from exploiting the map in ways that make them untargetable by cultists. Now, if cultists can’t reach you, a timer will start, and after a few seconds your character will be teleported back to the player start. This should help keep the leaderboards fair going forward.
addedThis will also be the last update for a little while (unless something unexpected comes up). We won’t be updating the demo quite as frequently, not because development has slowed, but because the rapid updates have occasionally caused performance issues. Slowing things down gives us room to integrate larger systems into *Milo*—things like new maps, first-person animations, cultist models, and textures. A lot of this work is being done in collaboration with Yarrawah Interactive, our publisher and co-developer, who are handling the new artwork and animations. Updates will come less often, but they’ll be much more meaningful when they do. We haven’t decided yet what exactly will be shown for Steam Next Fest in October, but we’ll talk more about that in a future post.
changedPerformance: General improvements across the board
changedLighting: Adjusted across maps for better visuals and smoother performance
changedCritical Hits: Chance has been buffed significantly
changedPersistent Effects: Gibs and blood adjusted (size and roughness)
