@NecesseNow to the update:
In this update, we've been mostly focused on making the overall repetitive experiences of Necesse more enjoyable. Obviously, there are still a ton of stuff we would like to improve, but I think this is a great step in the right direction.
All enemy AI has been tweaked, making them less aggressive and behave more randomly. The zombie archers now have a small animation, and many of the enemies will run around a bit after having attacked or have been attacked.
We've also been working on more unique enemies that will come in future updates.
We've also added 2 new mini biomes. One in the regular swamp cave and one in the deep swamp cave. Each have their own unique loot and enemies. Here's a teaser for one of them:
Windows was one of the most requested building features, and it's finally in. We also added a bunch of potted plants to decorate with, and added double beds as well.
Some of the other features and changes in this update include:
- Improved initial loading time by approximately 30% and reduced memory usage by about 40%.
- Added a bunch more houses that can spawn on the surface islands.
- Worm enemy types are now slightly more resistant toward damage over time.
- Flower patches will now spread if placed by the player.
- Lifeline will now also prevent death from damage over time.
- Added overgrown grass to forest and swamp biomes.
You can read the full changelog below.
As always, we will keep a close eye on issues and balancing and push out updates as needed :)
In other news, we also just launched a new 10% bundle discount with our friends over at Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor! Check it out by clicking the image below!
Happy holidays and New Year to you and your family!
