Moulder DEMO Patch 1.6

Moulder DEMO 1.6 Version

This version reworks parts of the combat system to be more interesting, as well as fixing or mitigating other issues.

Changes:

GAMEPLAY:

• New "guts" mechanic; enemies will spill their intestines, which become special temporary weak points. Hit them with maggots to pop them.

• Heavy attacks reworked to use a "charge" mechanic; fully charged heavy attacks knock off maggots and spill the enemy's guts.

• Offensive impact maggots (Teeth, Daggers) can spill guts with their effects.

• Cleaver moveset completely reworked and rebalanced. Light attacks can be used while moving; heavy attacks are now charged up by holding the button.

• Leuce now faces the enemies if attacking while lock-on is engaged.

• Lock-on is now less strict while aiming.

• The "swarm attack" (previously mapped to heavy attack button + aim) now happens automatically when the player stops throwing maggots.

• The "Lake" monster spawn location in Windmills has been moved to the center of the lake.

MISCELLANEOUS:

• The introduction text has been shortened.

• The tutorial has been updated and generally touched up.

• Now selecting a mission plays an UI animation.

• Certain equipment descriptions have been updated.

• A number of interactions that previously had no feedback now cause a message to appear.

• A sign in Windmills now explicitly teaches that blue projectiles can be blocked.

• Added a new sign in Windmills to explain the Rage mechanic.

• Added a glow around idle or panicking maggots.

• Added new maggot sounds and retouched Leuce's sounds.

• AddedRevamped healthbars to show a lot more informationnow they also display the creature's posture and guts buildup; certain bosses get an additional resource bar tied to their unique powers. Some of these features can be turned off by disabling the new "Advanced Healthbars" option.

• Added a new "Auto Lock-On" option, which automatically locks the camera on the last enemy hit. On by default.

• Added various graphical changes.

BUG FIXES:

• Maggot masks and the "ball maggot" model now correctly fade away when close to the camera.

• Remapping your controls to Mouse4 and above now correctly displays the assigned input rather than . Beware that the way Godot assigns numbers to mouse inputs is different from the traditional numbering.

• Various issues related to performance should be fixed, though the overall hardware requirements haven't changed.
