STEAM NEXT FEST DEMO UPDATE

I READ EVERY SINGLE FEEDBACK SPREAD ON THE INTERNET.

First of all, THANK YOU for playing! Look how happy she is to see how many people played the demo:

ANYWAY, most issues seems related with auto input and lack of control, so I focused on improving game feel in the last few days!

Basically:

• Balancing enemies and giving more options in combat

• Giving more control on parkour

• Speeding up gameplay

Here's the full patch note:

COMBAT

• Added Lock-on system

• Changed how Dash Roll works

• Press zoom while in combat and it will lock-on the closest enemy

• Use the camera axis while on lock-on mode to change target

• You will dash roll when close to an enemy or in lock-on mode

• Dash roll now works on the direction of the input, not right/left relative to the enemy position as before

• QoL tweaks around the dash roll

• Most frustration from combat seems related to the second encounter (After the ‘Easy Job’ Slacking Area) - So I made some adjustments on the level design in there. The experience should be smoother now and give more time for reaction.

• Removed magnetism in combat

• Changed the feedback for the parry window on the excavator enemy. The attack has a bigger window for reaction, and the icon appears at the beginning, not in the entirety of the attack as before. Also changed the icon color from white to black to be more noticeable

• You can no longer spam slide attack

• Red eyes feedback for when an enemy detects you is bigger
