v0.21.1 - Death penalties, multiplayer improvements, enchantments and more
To get this update, you again have to opt in inside your library:
Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select 0.21.x in dropdown.
You might have to restart Steam to see this new option.
This update introduces death penalties. I've always wanted there to be a death penalty, but I haven't figured out exactly how it will work. I've added a few different options, while the default is still no penalty. This will probably be polished and changed again at some point.
Enchantments have also gotten a complete redesign with many more enchantments which are focused on the different weapon types. This also adds the ability to enchant summon weapons.
I've spent some time fixing some deep bugs that required a bunch of changes. Many of these are aimed at trying to make the game feel better, especially when playing multiplayer.
Behind the scenes I've been working on some new content, including new weapon mechanics, so look forward to that!
A few of these smaller changes and fixes are also introduced in a new patch on the main branch.
