[h3]Improvements:[/h3]

• Improved Sound Effect Mixdown: The recent rewrite of the sound manager lead to sound sources levels not sending the desired volume levels to the manager which resulted in all sfx being played at the same volume. This hotfix brings back the proper sound effect mixdown.
  

In Update 0.9.0.9 we took a step back and focused on the games visuals with improved lighting, shadows and brand new blood effects. We also optimised our rendering pipeline for performance improvements

[h3]New Features[/h3]

• Blood decals: New blood effects have been added to the game. This should not only improve hit feedback but will add three dimensinal depth to the game.
  
  
  
  
• 3D Projectile Shadows: All projectiles now have 3D shadows that will seperate them better from the background improve the feel of depth.
  
• Improved enemy shadows: Enemies now have improved shadow effects.
  
  
  
  
• Abandon Run: Added abandon run option to the pause menu which lets you directly end your current run and start a new one. A confirmation window has been added to prevent accidental button clicks.
  
  
  
  
• Improved Performance: Optimised rendering pipeline for performance improvements.
