Update #11: Enemy Changes and Improvements
Hey everyone,
First off, happy Halloween- we wanted to do a whole content update for Halloween but unfortunately we've been planning quite a bit for November/December. Nonetheless, we still got a bunch of stuff done including a new enemy that may terrify some players.
Ninja/Katana Enemy
The Katana-wielding enemy has been readjusted to have a much faster movement speed when running towards you, opening up some pretty tight situations where you have to quickly roll away from an attack or kill the enemy before the attack could ever happen.
We still have quite a bit to do to the Katana enemy such as giving them a unique character model, but we're excited to finally add some more unique enemies to the game. We've got tons of plans for adding more enemies which should be happening in the month to come.
There's more to come for the Katana enemy, but this is a start.
Feature Requests, Improvements and Bugfixes
November Plans
Now you're probably wondering "Hmm, not much added this update around.", we've been hard at work planning and coming up with how we'll be tackling November- our plans for November involves doing one single big content update at the end of the month. If there's any issues/bugs that are relatively game-breaking due to this update, we'll make sure that's all fixed- but other than that we'll be working on the first big content update (finally).
We'll be releasing a roadmap post to discuss our goal for the end of this year, super exciting stuff to come!
Thanks again for all of the support, let us know what you think about this update through our Discord!
