Trials of Valor changes
Hello!
This week, we added two new enemy types and made general improvements, such as improving visibility in fights.
Here's a sneak-peek at the new enemy types.
Plague Stalker
This new enemy is both agile and dangerous, no matter the distance to his foe.
Plague Witch
This powerful elite enemy can easily end your run if you don't find a way to outsmart her.
You'll encounter these new enemies in Chapter II and Chapter III.
Visibility in fight
We reduced the intensity on several visual effects (VFX), such as explosions, burning, weapon trails and poison-effects. We toned down the colors, alpha and speed up / scattered several effects so they don't pile up and cover important parts of the fighting area. We also removed several thick smoke effects.
The "burning and poison" aura effects on characters are smaller and more subtle now. Some ethereal type enemies have a different colored burning effect to make it more visible and less distracting.
Chapter 1 - Dark forest lighting rework
We changed the lighting in the second half of Chapter 1. It keeps the general color theme, but is slightly brighter and have more vibrant colors. This will also improve how footage looks when uploaded to YouTube for instance, which is how many of you found the game.
Here's a list of some other improvements we made.
Projectiles will collide with the terrain now.
Poison arrows will no longer flicker.
Many arrows have an improved trail, making it easier to see and prettier to look at.
Fixed a bug where Max FPS would be ignored on "Medium" graphics settings (thanks for reporting this bug to us!)
Grublin's attack speed is adjusted so it's a bit easier to anticipate when he attacks, especially on higher difficulties.
Archer's (Goblin) punch and backflip animation are improved so it's easier to anticipate when to block/evade.
Fixed a bug where the Rogue's head disappeared after unequipping Thief / Shadow hood.
Consume Toxins (Bow ability) will cost 0 instead of 2, making it more viable.
Snipe, Holy Blast and Holy Crystal will no longer evade in the wrong direction, if triggered after evading through an enemy.
Thanks for supporting the game!!! You can join our Discord or post in the forums here on Steam, in case you have ideas for future content. https://discord.com/invite/mXfXtEBEER
