I’m bringing you a completely free update to the demo, which includes quality improvements made in the full version that have now been carried over to the demo. Below, I’ll break down the new changes in this special update:
addedNew playable map added: This update adds the Golden Arenas map, accessible after defeating Innara, the Serpent Queen. This area is a beach habitat that is half-land and half-water, featuring various secrets and new enemies.
addedAdded new ‘Swimming’ mechanic: From now on, our friend Sylv can swim. In this update, water behaves like water; Sylv has a new swimming animation, and her momentum and buoyancy have been improved so that you can properly explore the deepest areas of Solraíz Island.
addedAdded Bow and Arrows as new purchasable equipment on the new ‘Golden Sands’ map.
addedAdded new interactions and dialogue with a certain character.
changedImproved response on slopes: In previous versions, Sylv would take a small ‘little hop’ on ramps when changing direction whilst going uphill. She now changes direction correctly both going up and down.
