Improved Animations, Quests, Physics, and Fixes

Animations

Human NPCs of the world are now a little less stiff. For combat, we have added a number of new stagger animations that can occur when you hit enemies with spells or bullets. These will cause the enemy to stop attacking for a short time and recoil from taking damage. There are a few different animations depending on what direction they are hit, and whether it is a body or head shot. Additionally, wizard enemies now have a casting animation to go with their spells, which can help as a visual cue for dodging their attacks.

Friendly npcs also have some new movement when talking to them. They will now turn to look at you when you interact with them, and have a number of dialogue animations.

Human ragdoll effects are now slightly improved. Instead of spawning in a T-Pose, they now correctly match the pose the enemy was in when it died, and are affected by the physics of spells and bullets that caused the death. Try it out with a nice shotgun blast to the face.

We have also added an animation to opening chests and barrels to make that a little more satisfying.

Quests

A couple of new quests and locations have been added. These are one-off quests, but soon we plan on working more on the main quest, which will reveal some story and take you all the way through the max level.

Physics

We have added physics to a few items in the world, and made a couple of items destructable (barrels and crates). We will likely add physics to more objects in the future. This sometimes causes problems with previously placed objects, so keep an eye out for these issues, and please let us know about them by posting on our Steam forums.
