Plague Breaker Update for July 2022

New Camera

After a lot of experimenting, I've decided to zoom the camera out a fair bit. This should help with the visuals a lot, as well as make it easier to navigate the dungeon.

Check out the screenshots below for what the new camera looks like!

Library

Alchemist Lab

Boss Fight Camera

The boss fights don't work as well zoomed out as the rest of the game does, so I've kept the camera zoomed in for the boss fights. Check out the images below to see which you prefer:

What if I liked the old camera?

Good News! I've added menu options under Video which let you set the camera as you like.

Minimap Changes

The minimap has also been updated with darker graphics and a brighter player icon. I've also added icons for interactables, such as fountains, shops and treasure chests.

A note on saves

I intend to re-balance the game in a future update, and this update includes some background work which affects how the game loads its save data. If you have any issues with your game saves please file a bug report!

Next Update

As mentioned in the note on saves, I intend to do some major re-balancing next update. There will be some new items and abilities, and some rebalancing on how classes are unlocked.
