What changed
- Gameplay
- Maps
- Balance
Added font size and gamepad sensitivity settings. (This might be important to someone, so I'm writing it here so it doesn't get lost in the wall of text below)
Small rework:
The game has a fairly high entry barrier, primarily due to the large number of creature abilities that the player has to learn. Of course, this is partly by design, but there are some things I can do to make life easier for new players:
A significant portion of ability icons (mostly passive ones) have been redrawn. Most haven't changed drastically, but a small icon indicating its type has been added to the bottom left corner. For example: a boot - terrain movement modifier, a shield - ability that triggers upon taking damage, a fist - damage modifier, a circle - aura, etc. I hope this will slightly simplify memorizing and understanding ability effects.
I wouldn't like to reduce the number of abilities, but I've conducted a review of some less useful or redundant (from a conceptual or balance perspective) abilities for creatures.
